Pros:

Gentle, moisturizing, comforting and calming ......non -irritating and simply wonderful!

Cons:

Non

I am 61 and my skin has changed. I have been through most of the high end department store brands trying to get a youthful look back. Those that were even recommended for sensitive skin severely reddened and irritated my skin and made me almost think that good tone and texture were a thing of the past. I tried Pond's because it has been around a long time and seemed safe. Wow! In two days my skin looks amazing for my age!!! It has calmed and looks radiant again. I am really thankful! When I think of money I have spent trying to get youthful radiance and clear, even skin again. Advertising attracts us and we tend to feel left out if we don't try all these promises. They are just that PROMISES! I am now a firm believer in the tried and true. Pond's is it for me. I want to continue to look pretty.

Pros:

super cheap but works like a luxury cream very simple and uncomplicated pure moisture best as night cream can be used durring day also but very sparingly applied great under makeup does not irritate my eye area or anywhere very soothing

Cons:

the only con is because its so inexpensive and avaliable alot of people dont think it wors but i know its been around for over 100 years and started as "ponds healing cream" checkout wikipedia for full history

i have used so many creams in my life on my face but NOTHING I mean NOTHING compares to PONDS dry skin cream I'm 37 and people mistake me for 25 or 26 all the time I've been using ponds since I was 22 I always come back home to this love the smell and the emollient richness I know in the morning my skin will be FULLY moisturized all I know is I have always had dry skin and yet I don't have a single wrinkle I am addicted to Clinique DDL lotion for daytime though but i can layer it under my ponds at night too you can layer under or over this cream if u need treatments also gave a jar to a girlfriend of mine who had adult acne and she wore it under her makeup and it cleared her pimples and she didn't break out anymore BOTTOM LINE: LOVE IT FOR LIFE

Pros:

it hydrates my skin and leaves it smooth to the touch.

Cons:

it could be oily if too much is applied to your skin.

i live on an island in the pacific so its summer all year round and this product works like magic for my skin. and the important reason why i chose it was because it didn't cost an arm and a leg compared to other moisturizers.

Pros:

-Moisturizes well. I wake up with no flakes in the morning! No other moisturizer has done that for me thus far.

Cons:

-Scent can be a bit annoying
-Thick application, takes a while but I find that adding 2 drops of jojoba oil makes it better.

Love it! It's my go to night time moisturizer now that the weather is getting colder and my face is getting drier. Would recommend for those on the regimen and have flake problems.

Pros:

- inexpensive
- light-feeling
- very mild fragrance
- controls dry, flaky skin

Cons:

None that I found.

This is an excellent moisturizer to use with a BP regimen. I have combination skin, so my T-zone gets really oily, and I tend to flake in every other area. I find it doesn't make my skin feel oily throughout the day, and completely controls the flaky skin. I recommend you wait about 20 minutes after applying your BP to avoid having the product balling up on your skin. Also, quite a few reviews have mentioned that it's greasy. While at first I agreed, I found the trick is in the application. Just rub a small coin-sized amount into your palm. Pat the product gently onto your skin and add more to areas you generally get drier in. This way, you'll get a light coverage, and you can focus in on the areas you want more moisturizing action. I personally found this method making my skin feeling as light as though I'm not even wearing any product. It's available cheaply at drug stores, so definitely give it a try!

wonderful for really dry skin!!
I have REALLY dry skin and acne in my driest areas, this helped so much! I apply it at night after washing my face and let it soak in over night. The dry redness has almost completely gone away from my t-zone.

Pros:

My face feels very soft
It doesn't sting
Eliminates the flakes on my extremely dry skin

Cons:

I haven't really found any yet.

I haven't been using this product for long, but so far I love it. I just started Renova treatment and it has really made my skin dry and flakey and extremely sensitive. This is the only moisterizer that gets rid of the flakes and doesn't set my face on fire. Even my very expensive Lancome face cream for dry skin doesn't eliminate the flakes like this product that I spent under $5 for. I've noticed that the ones complaining about it being too oily or greasy and it doesn't absorb are the ones who say they have oily skin. It's called Pond's Dry Skin Cream. It's for DRY SKIN!!!

Super inexpensive
Perfect nighttime moisturizer
NEVER clogs pores!

Some dislike the smell. It is strong. Personally, I don't mind it.

I love this stuff! Perfect for super dry skin! Also great for hands and elbows! I recommend using this as soon as you step out of the shower!
