Advantages: Cheap, moisturising, gentle, 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 ... ...problem before I started using Ponds was dry patches on my face. I assume that those dry patches were a result of me using harsh products on my face to prevent me from getting spots. I didn't actually need to use those products because a) I wasn't a teenager with mild acne anymore, and b) I hardly ever got spots; I was just being overly-paranoid about getting them. Plus, I never moisturised; I thought that, because I had relatively oily skin, I really ...

Advantages: Cleanses really well Disadvantages: Can be too greasy for some
...in elite circles as:
PONDS COLD CREAM CLEANSER!
I buy mine from Pharmacy2U for £4.20 for a 100ml jar, this lasts me about 2 months because I don't always go about looking like Liz Taylor. My mother used Ponds on her skin and it is a well established and renowned brand affiliated with Elida Faberge. We have never had cause to complain but should you want to those Pondlife (hahaha) can be found at;
FREEPOST, Admail 1000, London, SW1A 2XX or telephone ... ...Freepost, Leeds, LS14 2YT
The packaging is simple and distinct in a white plastic jar with the name and emblem (I remember when the jars were made of china - not very good for travelling.)
Now the selling point of this cleanser is that it does so without drying your skin out. If you are prone to greasy skin, then this is probably not the cleanser for you. If you are like me and have dry skin or wear foundation, this is the business. It has a thick ...

Advantages: Great for sensitive but spot prone skin, cheap, fairly pleasant to use Disadvantages: Not the most trendy or aesthetically pleasing product
...the same application/removal technique with Ponds Cold cream did wonders for the skin. At only around £2.50 for a jar of Ponds and roughly £4.00 for a big pack of muslin squares from Boots, I thought I may as well give it a go before shelling out for the Eve Lom cleanser. Skin Type - I had great skin until about a year ago when I began to get acne type spots in certain areas (red, stayed under the surface for ages, left a little purplish scar). I ... ...which helped a lot but I still seemed to have problem skin. I was using a face wash twice a day packed with salicylic acid etc to prevent spots, which I thought was a good idea but started leaving my face dry and red in areas. I realise now that this was probably the point when the pill kicked in (after about 3 months) and oil production calmed down so my skin (which is really quite sensitive) was being dryed out far too much, This combined with ...

Advantages: nice size, removes makeup well Disadvantages: smell,leaves face a tad greasy
...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 "International Ponds Institute", and the commercial would close with something ... ...when I thought of the Ponds brand and those commercials from my youth. I knew Ponds was most famous for it's original cold cream, which claimed to remove makeup and not clog pores. I bought my first jar of Ponds Cold Cream at the local drugstore *cough* chemist's for around 10 $ -- about 4.50 Great Britain Pounds. To me, for a chemist's product, this is a tad expensive. But, the jar is big so it should last for awhile.
The jar is 190 mL and almost ...

Advantages: Thoroughly cleanse leaving skin velvet to touch, it's purse friendly, it smells lovely, perfect! Disadvantages: Glass jar was a bit awkward for a butter fingers like me!
...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 and ran out of cleanser so i though "What's the harm, its not like it could make my skin worse!" So I followed the instructions on the back, you smooth it on with your fingers and then wipe gently with either cooton wool or a warm flannel. I did both gently with the ... ...followed with a dab of Ponds Hydro- Nourishing Cream. I would whole- heartedly recommend this to anyone suffering with fickle skin, it truly is severly under-rated, it has miracously re-balanced my skin, i now feel like i have normal skin! Went to work today without a scrap of make- up and actually felt good ( says the girl who only a month a go wouldnt go out without primer, foundation, two types of concealer and a coating of powder!!!) And a £3.99 ...

Advantages: Great cleanser for winter time Disadvantages: Can get a bit too oily for certain skin types
...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 pore cleansers. This magnificent cream cleanser is a cold cream and a cleanser in one package. The jar is a classic ponds' white one with ... ...and with the work of your fingures you can take as much as you want.
This cream cleanser is great for winters for dry skins. It worked extremely well for me to remove my make up. I use a lot of eye make up and lipstick generally and this cleanser takes away every trace of make up leaving my skin squeaky clean. I have also used the cleanser for just cleaning my face before going to bed and trust me, it makes you feel all light and oil free. I would ...

Advantages: Great cleanser, works deep down and leaves skin feeling so smooth 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 ... ...muslin cloth (a la expensve Eve Lom) if you soak this in hot water when you take off the cleanser it works to open the pores and cleanse deep down. After you've wiped the cleanser off with the muslin cloth, then clean your face with cold water, either on the cloth or just a splash, this will help close the pores. ...

Advantages: Excellent cleanser which does not irritate the eyes.Very mild and gentle 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 ... ...wear make up every day and have to use it every night. Even if you have an oily skin, it is still a good cleanser because you are wiping off the residue and you can apply a toner afterwards.
It comes in 100ml white jar. Not very exciting packaging but it is easy to tuck in to your luggage if travelling. It retails at £3.19 from internet shops e.g. Pharmacy2u and at £3.39 approx. from local chemist shops. Boots used to stock it but haven't had it ...
