This cleansing product is one that most people have heard of but little have tried. Having been around for well over 50 years, scores of women through the generations have used this product in their skincare routines until a few years ago, when it seemed to all but disappear from our shelves. Enter Kylie Minogue, who announces that she uses this product in her skincare routine, it witnesses a revival as everyone rushes out to buy it and it retains the cult status it readily deserves.
When I first properly started a skincare routine, I asked the females in my family what they swore by. I took on my aunts suggestions of some ROC products but was intrigued when my Nan mentioned that my great-nan swore by Pond’s Cold Cream, I was intrigued. I looked up reviews of the product online and apart from being bombarded with loads of articles about Kylie, also found many glowing reviews.
I blogged about this being part of my skincare routine a few months back and have been using it on and off ever since, only stopping to trial similar products for the blog. A little surely does go a long way.
The formula itself is quite creamy – application is easy, you just apply like any other cleansing product then remove with a flannel and water. Is it effective at its job? Yes, it has removed most makeup I wear over the months I’ve been using it, it has only slightly struggled once or twice with eye makeup but since I sometimes like to cake it on and do have a separate cleansing product for my eye makeup, that’s no biggie.
Would I repurchase? Yes, it’s effective at what it does – and if my great nan swore by it (who looked 20-30 years younger when she died aged 96), then it will definitely on my repurchase list for years to come.
You can buy Pond’s products at most beauty retailers.
Have you ever tried anything in the Pond’s range?
I love Ponds Cold Cream – it's absolutely brilliant! I had stopped using it for a while and used Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish but I actually prefer the Ponds cleanser!
Its amazing, isn't it?x
Yahoo! I use ponds moisturizer, it's great!
Glad other people love it too!x
I feel like I haven't used this in forever! I used to use it all the time, & I'm not sure why I stopped!
it's fab x
I'm yet to give Pond's a whirl actually but I often see it on the shelf and wonder whether I should! Next time I'm searching for a cleanser I may try it, thank you Bex 🙂
