Pros:

Creamy/smooth & feels good putting it on
Nice smell
Very cheap/affordable
Lasts a long time
Great for taking off makeup

Cons:

Leaves residue
Can create new breakouts
Not a lasting solution
Not great as a moisturizer.

I started using Ponds cold cream after reading reviews on a different site mentioning that someone's grandmother had used it as a night time moisturizer and her skin looked fabulous at age 80. People were also saying it worked to moisturize and get rid of acne. I put this on before bed every night and for the first month or so, all of my acne was gone... and i mean ALL of it. Cystic acne, blackheads, whiteheads & regular pimples. For the first couple weeks, my skin was unreal (I've had moderate acne ever since I was 13.) After a few weeks, pimples started showing up all over my face, worse than before. I still use this cream as a moisturizing eye makeup remover, but I always wash it off. My face is just too oily to use it as anything more.

Pros:

Removes makeup wonderfully
Cool and refreshing
Luxuriously creamy

Cons:

Leaves residue that can cause breakouts

If you wear (non-mineral) makeup regularly, this is a great makeup remover. It's especially good for liquid or cream makeup. Properly removing makeup is necessary to avoid breakouts, so this is an important step. It leaves residue though, so I only consider it a makeup remover and not a full cleanser if you have acne. You will need to use a normal cleanser afterward if you are really acne prone. That is why I'm not recommending it as just a cleanser. I always keep it on hand for makeup removal and deep moisturizing.

It is OK
It is good to remove make-ups, but i do not like the greasy feeling that it left on my face, so I always use sth else to complete the cleaning. Overall, its performance is OK at its price.

Pros:

-Removes make up
-Gentle

Cons:

-Contains oil and can contribute to breakouts

I have used this product since I was a teenager. However, I ONLY use it around my eyes where I could use the oil for moisture and to get the tough make up off. However, I won't use it on my face. If I do, then I make sure I wash with another cleanser immediately.

Pros:

Cheap

Cons:

I don't like the smell
left my skin oily but not really moisturized

It may work for some people but I just don't like it. Doesn't absorb well at all, stays all of the surface, leaving oily but not moisturized skin.
