    5 Stars An excellent, classic product. 06/06/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Cheap, moisturising, gentle,

    Disadvantages Disadvantages The general product image, which makes this product seem a bit boring.

    BEFORE I USED PONDS Ponds Cold Cream Cleanser is just like Vaseline- timeless, cheap and very effective. You would forgive me for not considering using Ponds earlier on in my life- in my head (and probably in many other people's heads as well), I saw Ponds as an old-fashioned product which probably wouldn't work (because it's so cheap) and assumed it was favoured by older people who are stuck in the same skincare routine as they were 20 years ago. How wrong I was. It's a brilliant cleanser. I have sensitive skin which occasionally produces the odd spot here and there, but my main problem ... more

    5 Stars The name's Pond 03/12/2002
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Cleanses really well

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Can be too greasy for some

    Sorry about the title but feeling odd today. I am a would be luvvie. I haven't actually acted in a play for quite a number of years but the theatrical spirit is there. And so is the quantity of slap. I remember in the dressing room with Larry (the caretaker not that famous bloke) when the mascara was an inch thick and foundation was like concrete, he said, "Mellie, be a good girl and use some of this to rid your fair skin of that muck." [He was very poetic our Larry]. And to this day I have used the very same potion, known in elite circles as: PONDS COLD CREAM CLEANSER! I buy mine from ... more

    5 Stars Surprisingly good for problematic skin! 03/03/2005
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Great for sensitive but spot prone skin, cheap, fairly pleasant to use

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Not the most trendy or aesthetically pleasing product

    I am only 20, so was fairly reluctant to start using something that seemed very much aimed at the more 'mature' customer but this has been surprisingly successful and I would certainly recommend anyone to try it. I love spending obscene amounts of money on pricey beauty and particularly skin care, and was just about to purchase Eve Lom cleanser (said by Vogue to be the best in the world) and was checking some reviews of it when I came across one from someone that had begun using Eve Lom, then realised that the key to its success was in the use of a muslin cloth that came with it, not ... more

    3 Stars Not a very exciting product (or review). 06/11/2004
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages nice size, removes makeup well

    Disadvantages Disadvantages smell,leaves face a tad greasy

    Before our stripping cleansers, our superfluous toners, our comodogenic moisturisers, our crackling facial masks, our harsh exfoliants, there was. . . . . .Ponds Cold Cream. This cream has been around since 1918. My first experiences with the Ponds brand were as a little girl watching television commericals. I remember one had big white swinging French doors. They would open, and you would see lots of dark-haired beautiful women walking around in what (to me) looked like a ballroom. In the middle of a ballroom there was a large fountain. An announcer would say something about the ... more

    5 Stars The perfect budget cleanser for all skin types! 13/08/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Thoroughly cleanse leaving skin velvet to touch, it's purse friendly, it smells lovely, perfect!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Glass jar was a bit awkward for a butter fingers like me!

    I have extremely problematic skin prone to every affliction under the sun from acne, blackheads and oiliness to dryness, ezcema and flakiness sometimes all at the same time! In desperation I have tried every brand of face cleanser going, for every skin type; nivea, garnier, clearisil, simple neutrogena, liz earle naturally active( not cheap), boots own , superdrugs own, asdas own, tescos own to name but a few. I had heard of ponds cold cleansing cream before but thought it was a bit old lady for me, and sitting amongst the pretty pots in boots it looked a little bland. But I was short on cash ... more

    5 Stars Truly cleansing, leaves your skin soft and feeling GREAT! 18/06/2011
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Great cleanser, smells amazing, nice new packaging, can be used as mask too

    Disadvantages Disadvantages People with oily skin MAY not find it as effective

    When it comes to my skin, I'm always worried about what I use because of its ability to dry out SO QUICKLY! So, I wanted a cleanser that wouldn't dry out my skin and would take good care of it. After hearing Kylie Minogue uses 'Pond's Cold Cream' to look after her skin, I thought why not? Her skin looks amazing, especially for her age, and it's reasonably priced- what do I have to lose? Pond's recently changed their packaging, putting the cream in a petite pink-lidded pot making it easy to carry around. However, don't be fooled by its size- there is A LOT in there and it will last you a long ... more

    5 Stars Ponds Cream Cleanser 19/01/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Great cleanser for winter time

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Can get a bit too oily for certain skin types

    I somehow have a penchant for picking up and trying different kinds of facial cleansers. I know it's generally said that you should stick with one kind and one brand to see if it suits your skin and eventually it is good for the skin as well. But I am never satisfied with one type. Recently when Ponds introduced their cleanser in the same packaging as their famous creams (that they have been selling since ages), I was tempted to buy the green white jar. Ponds was known to me as a trademark for thick facial and cold creams. They later also came up with the cleansing products like cloths and ... more

    5 Stars Pond's Cold Cream Cleanser 25/09/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Great cleanser, works deep down and leaves skin feeling so smooth

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Has an old fashioned image which may put people off but its great!

    I thought this would be really thick and gloopy but it was the best cleanser I have tried in a long time. My skin hasn't felt really cleansed for ages, since I've been using wipes but after using Pond's cleanser my skin feels so smooth and moisturised and it removes all trace of make up - even tough mascara. I was so pleased with it, I'm converted. My Gran would be so proud that we use the same product! I've trried it with water and cotton wool but I've found the best way to be with a muslin cloth (a la expensve Eve Lom) if you soak this in hot water when you take off the cleanser it works to ... more

    5 Stars A Cream for a Lifetime! 07/01/2004
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Excellent cleanser which does not irritate the eyes.Very mild and gentle

    Disadvantages Disadvantages May be slightly greasy for those with oily skin

    I have used Pond's Cold Cream Cleanser for more than twenty years and have found it to be the mildest and gentlest cleanser I have ever used. It does not irritate your eyes as some cleansers do, and it leaves your skin feeling clean and refreshed. For those of us with a drier skin, it leaves the surface of your skin smooth and does not require the application of a night cream. It doesn't have much of a smell, but is quite fresh. It is good value for money because it lasts for ages, even if you wear make up every day and have to use it every night. Even if you have an oily skin, it is still a ... more
