Pros:

great moisturizer, light weight, smooth, no separation during storage, doesn't seem to clog pore or irritate, in fact... very calming.

Cons:

smells sorta womanly... not like a britany spears fragrance, but someone with class. maybe like one of the chicks from the golden girls. it's not that powerful and my natural man smell overcomes it quickly. so no problem really.

i would suggest trying it. despite the small size of the jar, it only takes a fingertip's amount to do the trick. spreads very well. anything else? naah i think that'll about do it.

worked well.
This is my 2nd tub. I bought it when I moved from the humid tropics back to Seattle when it was turning winter. My skin was drying up, like literal flakes were just coming off and couldn't handle the cold. My skin is combo, this worked well. Its super basic, I put it on at night and in the morning and my skin hydrated without any complicated stuff that most moisturisers claim to have. I've moved back to the tropics and I still use it. I must admit it doesn't absorb very quickly and has a very slick texture at first, but as long as my skin is hydrated I don't really mind it.

Try it if you need gentle healing
After damaging my skin with the Clinique 3 step system, I was left with dry patches and fresh moderate breakouts. I have skin that varies in dryness and oiliness depending on the weather, and moderate/severe breakouts on my cheeks and jawline that aren't cystic. I have noticed my scarring and red marks being lighter while using this for the past month. This cream does make my skin feel good, and while I don't mind how heavy it truly is, It might be a problem for some people. I don't feel it was broken me out since I've started using it, despite the notably "pore clogging" ingredients, but I have started to question if it is prolonging my breakouts. It's a really good moisturizer for people who need hydration, have accidentally over dried their skin with products, and possibly those who are dealing with red marks and light scarring.

Pros:

Moisturizes extremely well
doesn't clog pores
has as subtle but sweet smell; not overpowering but classy.
Works immediatley

Cons:

The jar says that you can apply it lightly and then put make up over it, but I certainly wouldn't reccomend that. It's a little oily, which is why I love it as a cream to apply at night.

It's a great feeling, smelling, gentle cream to apply before you go to bed. It's doesn't clog pores and it doesn't cause break-outs. My only objection is that it's ONLY good as a night cream, because it can seem oily for te first, about, 20 minutes after applying. But after the (very light) oily feeling, there's a healthy, clean, feeling left that I love. It's absolutely wonderful.

Good moisturizer for combo skin
I love this moisturizer. It leaves my skin feeling soft and smooth. I have combination skin and a bit acne prone on my chin and cheeks area especially during exam season. I have been trying a lot of moisturizers but most of them are greasy and made me break out. But thank god i found ponds. Its just a perfect combination with my cleanser and toner. Now my skin is not so acne prone as it used to be so I am really happy about it. However, although this proved to be good to my skin i dont know it will do justice to yours. But definitely try and check out this product. I didnt rate this moisturizer 5/5 because the only thing I dont like about it is the tub. I think its very non hygienic but yeah as long as youre handling it with a clean pair of hands then you'll be fine.

Pros:

Eliminates flakiness and peeling almost instantly when applied in large quantities.
Gentle
Feels & Smells nice
Not too expensive

Cons:

doesn't soak in very easily
isn't too great for acne prone skin

It helps me to eliminate all dryness, peeling or flaking, but i don't apply it on my forehead or chin because i have acne there. I don't want to risk it because the ingredients aren't acne friendly. It is also one of the very few things that doesn't burn my skin. I apply a thin layer before my foundation primer and it makes my makeup go on smoother.

Pros:

-Works well
-Doesn't clog pores
-takes away dry skin on face,elbows,hands,etc
-has a nice light smell

Cons:

-Some may not like the smell
-takes about an hour for it to totally absorb and do its job

I am 14 and have been using this product for about a year. It was bought for my mom, but i used a face wash that made my skin dry up and flaky so i applied this product generously around the flaky areas before i went to bed and it seemed to work really well by morning. You can also apply the cream underneath your makeup,or during the day, just use a smaller amount and it is not noticable at all! Great product to use for any ages anywhere you are having dry skin on your body.

Moisturizing but greasy
I guess it does its job when applied generously. It has a scent that reminds me of baby powder too. I feel that my face looks quite oily after applying it.

Pros:

-works extremely well
-feels fantastic
-reduces irritation
-lasts a really long time (a little goes a long way)

Cons:

-kind of greasy
-the smell, for some. doesn't bother me. it smells a bit like baby powder.
-contains isopropyl palmitate, which is a big no-no on the Regimen.

This stuff is great. I have combination/oily skin, and I thought this would be too much for me but it isn't. I use it as a night cream (I have an acne-fighting moisturizer for the daytime) and I would recommend it as such because it will tend to leave your face a little greasy. A little goes a very long way, so don't overdo it. Isopropyl palmitate is a big no-no on the Regimen but as long as you use this sparingly you should have no problem. I break out very easily and this has caused no problems. The smell might be a bit much for some but I like it. Definitely worth a shot.
