Yes, genetics does play a major role in looking young, but but but you can’t tell me that taking care of your self does not also helps. My mom and her family have horrible skin issues, but also they don’t even take out their make up when their sleep. They also don’t use sunblock and have horrible diets and some smoke like there’s no tomorrow. I have great skin and everyone ask me how? I’m like 🙄 well I take care of it! Duh
I’m a nurse who has worked private duty for some extremely rich women over the years. On many of their makeup vanities were some of the most expensive beauty brands in the world - but the one brand that many of them had in common was Ponds cold cream & yes, they were all very beautiful!
To be honest I know a very pretty girl as well. She always stood out as one of the prettiest and coincidentally she also uses this pond make up remover.
I've used ponds as well however it's just a glorified jar of emulsified Vaseline and wax, if you read the ingredients. It's not a miracle just an occlusive lipid that can be used to removed oil and makeup.
So, how do you use it? Leave it for an hour over makeup or sunscreen and then remove it instead of using a cleansing oil? Do you use it also on clean skin?
I truly hope the girl who created this original message sees this. Ponds cold cream was an outstanding product in its original formulation. My grandmother used it for decades and she had immaculate skin. However, and this is a huge caveat - Ponds was bought out by Unilever a few years back and they changed the formulation and added a number of chemicals to it. It is not the same product anymore. A number of us contacted them with our request to change the formulation back but of course received no response and they are still using the bastardized version. It is not the same thing that your mother used and does not work the same. Maybe think of using your platform here to get millions of women behind a request for Unilever to change back to the original formulation. It would be worth it.
Thanks for sharing! I actually picked up a pot a couple months ago but was devastated when I had this really bad reaction. I couldn’t figure it out, I had used Ponds my whole life cause it’s all my grandmother used, until I was my 20s and started using other skincare. Its just a shame that I cant go back to an old favourite cause they’ve changed the formula. The formula didn’t change for over a century! Why?!
@@im-on-a-rolla_gay that’s the question we asked too. My only guess was maybe chemicals have it a longer shelf life. That, or big Pharma is happy to give us diseases via chemicals through yet another route so they can provide the pharmaceutical “treatment” - never a cure, mind you. Or that’s my conspiracy theorist subconscious speaking, lol
I am 70 and have used Pond's cold cream to remove my makeup since I started wearing makeup when I was 15. I always wear a waterproof mascara and have never had a problem removing it with Pond's. I have very few wrinkles and never get guessed my age and I swear it's because I use Pond's. Love this product!
i think this proves how important hydration is. moisturizing the skin keeps it plump and maintains that full plumpness which keeps wrinkles away. if this doesn’t work for u it’s fine. i can’t imagine my skin would like this since it seems to have fragrance
Exactly what I said too! It’s like spraying fragrance on your face and letting it sit on your face for 8 hours. Than you come home and remove it with more frangrance (makeup remover) and than we later skincare products that defeat its very purpose with more frangrance and than in 10 years we are asking ourselves why we have so many wrinkles and age spots

i mean yeah, cleansing your skin properly is very important. if all you do is cleanse properly every night and wear sunscreen every day, you will have really nice skin your whole life lol. ponds cold cream doesnt do anything for your skin except lift makeup and excess oils off the skin and break it up, so when you wash your face with an actual cleanser, everything just slides off. 90% of women's skin concerns can be solved by properly cleansing at night, since yall tend to cake your face with makeup. this is also why the memes of women's boyfriends having better skin than them despite using bar soap to wash their face exists. they dont cake makeup all over their face, therefore their skin gets to breathe all day, and their pores dont get clogged. for ACTUAL anti aging products, heres some of the staples: retinoid serums at night time(retinol, retinal, adapalene, tretinoin). retinoids are the one for all of skincare. they target every skin concern there is, and they do it better than any other. however, retinoids are very harsh on the skin, so they have to be used properly and with caution, and some people with more sensitive skin cant use them at all. improper use or intolerance of retinoids can cause damage and irritation to your skin that wont heal until you stop using retinoids. peptides and ceramides. peptides have similar end results as retinols, they firm the skin and enhance collagen production, but theyre much gentler and much more easily tolerated by everyone, at the expense of mainly only targeting collagen production and skin firming, as well as helping with skin barrier health, and at lower efficacy than retinols. ceramides are a skin repairing and soothing ingredient, helping with skin barrier health, which is one of the most important concerns everyone should have. if you have a damaged or weak skin barrier, all your expensive serums and creams you put on your skin are wasted. petroleum jelly. vaseline, aquaphor, cerave healing ointment, all of these things are petroleum jelly based. this ingredient is the best occlusive there is. occlusives help prevent water loss, locking all the moisture and ingredients you put on your skin in. this is the best product you can use on dry skin, irritated skin, damaged skin, etc for protecting them from drying out, which helps them repair and heal at optimal speeds. finally, sunscreen. sunscreen is arguably the most important thing you will ever put on your skin. many dermatologists say 90% of skincare improvements is from finding a sunscreen your skin likes, and wearing it every day, while reapplying every 2 hours as long as the sun is up(unless youre inside, you dont need to wear sunscreen when youre chilling inside at home, or if you work indoors). wear sunscreen if its raining(clouds DO NOT block UV rays, it doesnt matter how dark it is outside due to clouds), if you live somewhere that isnt sunny, it doesnt matter. your weather app on your phone should tell you the UV rating at that moment, and anything 3 and above, you should wear sunscreen, no exceptions. this is particularly important from the times of 10 AM to 4 PM, as these are peak sunlight, and thus peak UVA/UVB times. bonus ingredients: urea. urea is a super underrated ingredient, it pairs really well with exfoliants like salicylic acid, as it softens your skin and helps it retain moisture and enhances the skin's natural exfoliation process. this ingredient is most common for treating cracked super dry heavily calloused feet, and heels. that right there should prove its efficacy. it can be used anywhere on the body, and is valuable everywhere on the body, even face. any skin type can benefit from urea, but especially dry skin. another bonus: centella extract. cica plant serums and creams are excellent at soothing skin, helping repair skin damage, and protecting the skin in general. paired with ceramides and selective petroleum jelly application on particularly bad areas, your skin will be super thankful you add cica to your regimen. i love this ingredient, and believe everyone should use it.
So like how do you use it? Like before going to sleep or in place of moisturizer in our skincare or just anytime during the day? Also do you put it on like a normal cream or apply a thick layer of it? It would be really helpful if you reply.
Mum was a MODEL. Genetically dispositioned to have good skin. You can slater yourself in ponds but if your genes wanna give you wrinkles, that’s what you’ll get
@@electricpurple4112 Right! 😂 Kendall Jenner is a model too and her skin is not that great. People blame everything on genetics. Lifestyle plays a big role in how your skin ages. And, YES, the products you use impact your skin too.
I think what you're also saying is that if you were a model you also HAD to take care of your skin (it was your money maker) and you had access to prof that educated her on how to take good care of it
I use ponds, cold cream myself, my grandmother used it and so does my ❤ mother. I’m 61 years old and my skin on my face shoulders and neck. Look like Alabaster there’s not a wrinkle in sight ❤ Thank you 🙏 ponds
Since it’s a wash off product you won’t benefit from the Vitamin A unfortunately. It’s also not a controlled form of Retinol either. I recommend Adapalene or Tretinoin
I think this works akin to slugging, where it traps the moisture in your skin, so no it doesn’t have any exciting actives, but it still certainly could work wonders!
Correct, I'm not a doctor but based off the ingredients it's just occlusives so it does work as an oil based makeup remover/cleanser and also an occlusive
It helps preventing ageing by retaining moisture in the skin - other measures are needes as well as good nutrition, sunscreen and etc, but it sure helps
This was golden back in the day and it's still golden in 2023. I'm the 4th generation to use it & I always get compliments on my skin. Ponds for the win!
I don’t know y’all…. Genetics do play a huge role but Ponds has made some of my developing lines fade away 😂 I’m 29…no wrinkles but noticed a subtle line on my forehead, started using Ponds and it’s gone a few months later.
my grannie used Ponds her whole life and died at 94 with gorgeous skin, part of this is genetics ( my mom also had wonderful skin and i'm 45 with no wrinkles) but she always had that plumped beautiful skin snf i remember her applying it religiously at night before bedtime
@@AlinaMilaya I buy tubes at tj max, Marshall’s or Ross, it’s less expensive there n u can find organic. After I shower while I’m still wet I rub it all over my body. Starting with my face all the way to my feet. Then u towel dry. Then I apply ponds on my face. That’s it.
Yes! Use Ponds, or similar product (Jergen's for me, better for acne-prone combo skin); don't smoke anything; don't drink alcohol; do wear sunscreen/don't sunbathe; have minimal caffeine intake (dries out the skin); get regular sleep; eat fresh vegetables and fruit, and drink 2 quarts of water-based, natural fluids per day. Amazing how lovely your skin will look. Oh, and don't forget to walk 30 minutes, twice a day (outside, in the fresh air).
We know that leaving any makeup overnight ages you, so I’m guessing the “anti-aging” property in this is just that it takes your makeup off effectively so you don’t have to scrub it off (which could damage your skin) or leave bits still there (which would definitely damage your skin).
I'm 21 and I use a couple of ponds products. They're hit and miss. But I gotta say, they work. I hate how people hate their products because "they're old." "They're too basic." 🙄🙄🙄 the brand lasted for decades for a reason.
Lol yes! I agree with you. It’s better to trust brands that have been around! I’ve had girls ask me which moisturizer I use. I tell them it’s an Estée Lauder one & they don’t want to try it because that particular moisturizer is from I think around the 1950’s and it’s not “new”, or something else I’ve been told for “old women”. It’s worked on so many people so why not stick to something that is known to work.
But they’ll use Max Factor and I’m not sure when Maybelline came out, there’s a few others. I rather like old stuff, I’m fascinated by the 1920’s. And I usually have a tub of Noxema around, I like the scent. I know my girlfriend has used Crisco for years, all her sisters and mom did, and I’m good with coconut oil. I think what bothers me more is when the stores DROP a brand, or it’s not made anymore! I find the reliability comforting.
My great grandmother did too. One of my favorite memories when I was a kid. She raised me and she would leave it on for Bout 15 to 20 mins and dab it off with a Kleenex and he skin was beautiful.
I’m 62. Ponds has always been my go to. I never heard of leaving it on my face for an hour. It does leave my skin feeling very soft. Sunscreen and genes are what I attribute to my youthful looking skin.
My kokum is in her late 80s but her skin is insanely smooth, she told me the only product I’ll ever need is Vaseline 😂 (doesn’t work on my skin, I get those little bumps but she slays)
@Kyle Justice You must be one of those difficult people that have an issue with everything. How did you read that simple question? wow! Did you even read the beautiful reply? Go fix yourself man.
My Mom was using Ponds Cold Cream in the 1970's. I used it when I was young then tried many other makeup removers (some very expensive) but I always came back to Ponds. I am 57 and still use it today.
I learned the importance of a good skin care regimen when I worked in a nursing home. All of my patients used the Ponds Cold Cream and Oil of Olay moisturizer.
ohh yes!! 100% my grandma died in 1986, she was 85 years old, and her face was amazing! My mom still uses it, she is 80 and she looks 60. It is the best cream! green lid to take make up off and blue lid as moisturizer
This is so much my aunt-she swore by this and chided me for washing my face with soap and water. She said here (handing me the ponds) use this…maybe I should have listened to her. She had good looking skin forever & no wrinkles!
This was my mams must have, her skin was amazing, she used this for yeeears and not a wrinkle in sight, it made her skin soft and supple and its all she ever used ❤
The only shop I can buy Ponds cold cream from in New Zealand is in Indian Shops . Like ones that sell Indian spices and Indian foods . It's not sold in normal supermarkets are drugstore, chemist shops. Otherwise I have to buy it online ❤
My grandmother, 92 years old but looks 72 years ago only uses Pond's and has not a wrinkle on her face or neck, she doesn't even wear make up but has always had flawless skin I recently started using it too.
There is also Ponds Dry Skin Cream which I use as my moisturizer. I haven’t been able to find anything that works as well. I’m 62 and I’ve tried everything.
TBF, I am convinced half the secret is using a moisturizing product at all. I used to work in drugstore beauty, and you have no many idea how many gorgeous older ladies would confess that their "secret" is Pond's, Oil of Olay, Noxzema, L'Oreal. The common factor? They'd all been using it for 40+ years. I suspect now that everybody knows just how important skincare is (and lifestyle factors; i.e. not sun-worshipping or smoking) we're all gonna age like Highlanders.
I think its really about having whatever skincare suits best for your skin. Cuz my grandma is 79 minimal wrinkles never got botox nothing but she uses gold dial soap.
My mom is 65 but looks 50, I'm 30 but I LOOK 30. Why? Because I got my dad's skin. My mom barely looked after her skin and she has not a single deep wrinkle. I've had a skincare routine since I was 18. The only thing that ever helps my skin is organic virgin coconut oil (I get the Nutiva brand). I take a dime sized amount and gently rub it into my skin before washing. Even though you're cleansing it off, you'll still notice the glowiness it leaves behind and the amazing softness!
Probably because of the fragrance, it says no fragrance on the front but the ingredients list fragrance, my face is super sensitive to fragrance but the skin on the rest of my body is not.
My mom swore by this when I was younger. She has been using it for decades and bought me my first jar when I was 13. She’s 57 and looks 40. Maybe I should run out and get some 🏃
My grandmother used this until her last days and she did not loom her age. I have been using this also the Ponds with the blue cap and people do t believe I am 52..they tell me I look I'm in my mid to late 30s..its my Holy grail..
My grandmother swore by it, she looked like a 900 year old witch, wrinkles and saggy skin, but... as someone who was a punk and eventually goth (80s version) this stuff will remove any kind of makeup, however permanent or waterproof. I stopped using cold cream in my late teens, it's pretty greasy.
I say this all the time to people and stand by it completely because I’ve seen first hand how it works wonders… my grandmother passed at 98 and looked in her early 50s. Everyone she ever met has always said how amazing her skin was and how she barely had wrinkles and joked A LOT about how she must of found The Fountain of Youth. She swore by Ponds cold cream, that she used morning and night since she was 14. She slathered it on her face, hands, and décolleté. At the end of her life her skin still looked plump, no deep lines, full of radiance, and very very soft. She never had acne or anything either. Thankfully she passed me on some of those good genes.
I bought a Ponds moisturizer like 10 years ago and just finished it off- it was my go to for whenever my face/hands were severely dry. It worked so well😊
I started using Ponds cold cream at 19 because I thought I should start anti-aging early... and ended up with cystic acne for years, still trying to recover from it. My skin was crystal clear before using this product and now I have scars that won't go away. Please consult a professional before using a cold cream, it is so popular and everyone might think that it'll work for them. If you have dry skin, it might work for you, but my oil skin babes steer clear of this unless you want to end up with damaged skin like mine!
Best eye makeup remover for me is the Ponds cold cream with the blue top. I like it better than anything. Not oily or greasy… and works as a great moisturizer too.
I love Ponds cold cream. I use it every night and consider it an important part of my skincare routine. It is not magic, but it is gentle and maintains a healthy moisture barrier. As a part of a solid care routine, it makes a positive impact on skin.
You might be experiencing irritations from one of the preservatives/thickeners. The cold cream is literally just an emulsified jar of Vaseline and beeswax, you can probably replicate with just Vaseline.
Love this stuff but use the blue cap. Also I’m in california and found a ponds made in Mexico and it’s way better. It’s way creamier and more hydrating.
I used to live by that stuff. I had severe acne at one point and it was the only thing that I could wear that didn't irritate my skin. I didn't use it to remove anything. I left it on ...
I don't wear makeup frequently though. I am near 40 and I usually only use lip balm, mascara & I fix up my eyebrows. I have a skincare routine but my question is, what is this going to do for you if you don't need it to take off your makeup?
I've had numerous patients in their 70s+ who swear by this or olive oil and they look 50s or younger. But you have to start with it and stick to it.... Its just moisturizing like there is no tomorrow. Doesn't undo but prevents
@@ItsMeHello555 you’re welcome ☺️ one more thing is to find thick moisturizers that have been around a long time and still have great reviews. It shows that it works and it’s not something that’s new that you might not know if it will work in the long run. 💕 of course there are new things that will probably work just a suggestion 😊
I drink water and use tretinoin. But mostly rely on genetics. My mom looks good for her age, and considering she did crack in her 20s and still look good now I'm confident that my skin will still look good in 20 to 30 years.
No joke. My dad passed away in his 80’s and barely had any wrinkles and looked 50’s. He did NOT use Ponds cream or any face cream. It was genetics.
Lmao! Well thank heavens! I’m not sure why your comment made me laugh, but thank you! And bless you and your dad! I’m sure he was a fabulous man 💕

my grannie used Ponds her whole life and died at 94 with gorgeous skin, part of this is genetics ( my mom also had wonderful skin and i'm 45 with no wrinkles) but she always had that plumped beautiful skin snf i remember her applying it religiously at night before bedtime
Coconut oil and ponds moisturizer in blue cap has been my go to since I was 18. I’m 47 and my skin looks 30
Coconut oil is pore clogging and problematic for a lot of people
@@palladium607 yes I know. It’s great stuff if your body can take it
How do you exactly use it though??
@@AlinaMilaya I buy tubes at tj max, Marshall’s or Ross, it’s less expensive there n u can find organic. After I shower while I’m still wet I rub it all over my body. Starting with my face all the way to my feet. Then u towel dry. Then I apply ponds on my face. That’s it.
I've been using ponds for years!!!! Since I was a teen. Now in my 30s and still love it. Seen my mom use it for years and now I can't live without it.
Same!!
Yes! Use Ponds, or similar product (Jergen's for me, better for acne-prone combo skin); don't smoke anything; don't drink alcohol; do wear sunscreen/don't sunbathe; have minimal caffeine intake (dries out the skin); get regular sleep; eat fresh vegetables and fruit, and drink 2 quarts of water-based, natural fluids per day.
Amazing how lovely your skin will look.
Oh, and don't forget to walk 30 minutes, twice a day (outside, in the fresh air).
I use the Ponds moisturizer, but at night. I really like it.
We know that leaving any makeup overnight ages you, so I’m guessing the “anti-aging” property in this is just that it takes your makeup off effectively so you don’t have to scrub it off (which could damage your skin) or leave bits still there (which would definitely damage your skin).
It’s mostly just the moisture factor, but that’s helps too.
I'm 21 and I use a couple of ponds products. They're hit and miss. But I gotta say, they work. I hate how people hate their products because "they're old." "They're too basic." 🙄🙄🙄 the brand lasted for decades for a reason.
Lol yes! I agree with you. It’s better to trust brands that have been around! I’ve had girls ask me which moisturizer I use. I tell them it’s an Estée Lauder one & they don’t want to try it because that particular moisturizer is from I think around the 1950’s and it’s not “new”, or something else I’ve been told for “old women”. It’s worked on so many people so why not stick to something that is known to work.
@@user-sc9pn3tq4y EXACTLYYYY!
But they’ll use Max Factor and I’m not sure when Maybelline came out, there’s a few others. I rather like old stuff, I’m fascinated by the 1920’s. And I usually have a tub of Noxema around, I like the scent.
I know my girlfriend has used Crisco for years, all her sisters and mom did, and I’m good with coconut oil.
I think what bothers me more is when the stores DROP a brand, or it’s not made anymore! I find the reliability comforting.
My Mom is 86. She doesn't look it at all. I remember her doing the same thing with Ponds.
My great grandmother did too. One of my favorite memories when I was a kid. She raised me and she would leave it on for Bout 15 to 20 mins and dab it off with a Kleenex and he skin was beautiful.
If you do not have ance prone skin,then you have lots of choises to keep your skin healthy and young looking
I’m 62. Ponds has always been my go to. I never heard of leaving it on my face for an hour. It does leave my skin feeling very soft. Sunscreen and genes are what I attribute to my youthful looking skin.
I have been using Ponds to remove makeup but it has started to break me out. I'm 62 so don't usually get breakouts. I just can't use it.
I would break out also. It's okay to use as a step one for makeup removal and then follow up with a toner.
Same here
It has mineral oil pore clogging! Way better products out there than this🙄
Yessssss! My Mom used that way back in the 80’s. Now I’m using it as well ❤
A vast improvement to all the derm recommended skincare I had given to me. Love this stuff! Whether it anti ages or not.
My great aunt used this til she died at 99 she looked so good!
My kokum is in her late 80s but her skin is insanely smooth, she told me the only product I’ll ever need is Vaseline 😂 (doesn’t work on my skin, I get those little bumps but she slays)
Do you mean your grandmother?
@@polives yes, that’s what we call her in my culture :) my grandma
@Kyle Justice You must be one of those difficult people that have an issue with everything.
How did you read that simple question? wow!
Did you even read the beautiful reply?
Go fix yourself man.
My Mom was using Ponds Cold Cream in the 1970's. I used it when I was young then tried many other makeup removers (some very expensive) but I always came back to Ponds. I am 57 and still use it today.
Agreed!!! Love it but also use other good products before bed
I learned the importance of a good skin care regimen when I worked in a nursing home. All of my patients used the Ponds Cold Cream and Oil of Olay moisturizer.
My mom has always used ponds as well!! Love that stuff!
ohh yes!! 100% my grandma died in 1986, she was 85 years old, and her face was amazing! My mom still uses it, she is 80 and she looks 60. It is the best cream! green lid to take make up off and blue lid as moisturizer
I appreciate this testimony! Thank you for clarifying which lid is best for what ❤
This is so much my aunt-she swore by this and chided me for washing my face with soap and water. She said here (handing me the ponds) use this…maybe I should have listened to her. She had good looking skin forever & no wrinkles!
Wrinkles are beautiful!❤
That’s what they try to make us believe, but………
haha...here comes that person
don’t lie please
You're just saying that to make yourself feel better
This was my mams must have, her skin was amazing, she used this for yeeears and not a wrinkle in sight, it made her skin soft and supple and its all she ever used ❤
She used it as a makeup remover only?
My grandmother is 91 and has used Ponds cold cream forever, like literally 60 years. She barely has a wrinkle on her on her face.
My grandmother used it too on her hands and face but esp on her hands and she always had hands of an angel
Honestly I can agree with this. My grandma used this and had great skin in her 80s! I am acne prone so don't use it but have definitely considered it.
The only shop I can buy Ponds cold cream from in New Zealand is in Indian Shops . Like ones that sell Indian spices and Indian foods . It's not sold in normal supermarkets are drugstore, chemist shops. Otherwise I have to buy it online ❤
My grandmother, 92 years old but looks 72 years ago only uses Pond's and has not a wrinkle on her face or neck, she doesn't even wear make up but has always had flawless skin I recently started using it too.
Ponds was the only thing that got the horrible bright green facepaint/oil off of me in drama club. So thankful for it.
There is also Ponds Dry Skin Cream which I use as my moisturizer. I haven’t been able to find anything that works as well. I’m 62 and I’ve tried everything.
TBF, I am convinced half the secret is using a moisturizing product at all. I used to work in drugstore beauty, and you have no many idea how many gorgeous older ladies would confess that their "secret" is Pond's, Oil of Olay, Noxzema, L'Oreal. The common factor? They'd all been using it for 40+ years. I suspect now that everybody knows just how important skincare is (and lifestyle factors; i.e. not sun-worshipping or smoking) we're all gonna age like Highlanders.
You are probably right. My MIL had beautiful skin & no wrinkles & used L’Oreal face cream. She was beautiful❤️
I think its really about having whatever skincare suits best for your skin. Cuz my grandma is 79 minimal wrinkles never got botox nothing but she uses gold dial soap.
My mom is 65 but looks 50, I'm 30 but I LOOK 30. Why? Because I got my dad's skin. My mom barely looked after her skin and she has not a single deep wrinkle. I've had a skincare routine since I was 18. The only thing that ever helps my skin is organic virgin coconut oil (I get the Nutiva brand). I take a dime sized amount and gently rub it into my skin before washing. Even though you're cleansing it off, you'll still notice the glowiness it leaves behind and the amazing softness!
You probably have a very expressive face.
@NovaDoll I do. I squint a lot when I smile, and my forehead lines are pretty deep from raising my eyebrows!
My grandmother loved that stuff.
I use it for makeup removal. I just work it all over my face, eyes then take a warm,vet wash cloth to remove everything.
ponds make me break out in hives lol
Probably because of the fragrance, it says no fragrance on the front but the ingredients list fragrance, my face is super sensitive to fragrance but the skin on the rest of my body is not.
@@stacyketner yea, probably
My mom swore by this when I was younger. She has been using it for decades and bought me my first jar when I was 13. She’s 57 and looks 40. Maybe I should run out and get some 🏃
My mom uses this every night for yrs, I don't think it helps with wrinkles but it def makes her skin look amazing and hydrated
I love to remove my make up using ponds and a warm white washcloth. It makes my skin baby soft and supple.
My grandmother used this until her last days and she did not loom her age. I have been using this also the Ponds with the blue cap and people do t believe I am 52..they tell me I look I'm in my mid to late 30s..its my Holy grail..
Yes, it works only for makeup remover and also as a foot cream
I'm all about the nivea its so hydrating, and I don't break out with it.
My grandmother swore by it, she looked like a 900 year old witch, wrinkles and saggy skin, but... as someone who was a punk and eventually goth (80s version) this stuff will remove any kind of makeup, however permanent or waterproof. I stopped using cold cream in my late teens, it's pretty greasy.
I have oily acne prone skin in summers and dry skin in winters but ponds cold cream has been a life save for me in both seasons ngl i love it
It's not about that cream specifically, it's just about proper consistent moisturizing
I say this all the time to people and stand by it completely because I’ve seen first hand how it works wonders… my grandmother passed at 98 and looked in her early 50s. Everyone she ever met has always said how amazing her skin was and how she barely had wrinkles and joked A LOT about how she must of found The Fountain of Youth. She swore by Ponds cold cream, that she used morning and night since she was 14. She slathered it on her face, hands, and décolleté. At the end of her life her skin still looked plump, no deep lines, full of radiance, and very very soft. She never had acne or anything either. Thankfully she passed me on some of those good genes.
I’ve used Ponds cold cream since I was 16. It’s really a super moisturizing cream. I’m totally hooked on it😊
It is a good makeup remover. It’s also cheap compared to makeup removing balms.
Love it works great, very gentle ❤👍
My Mom always used Pond’s cold cream!!! Used it for removing her makeup and slathered it all over her face before bed. She had very few wrinkles.
MaryKay Timewise cleanser is a goodchoice too!
omg I totally use to use ponds to remove my make up and then Olay of Ole moisturizer. (circa 1999) Maybe I might have to just try it again.
I bought a Ponds moisturizer like 10 years ago and just finished it off- it was my go to for whenever my face/hands were severely dry. It worked so well😊
Aveeno moisturiser repair for dry skin works just as well and alot cheaper!
I started using Ponds cold cream at 19 because I thought I should start anti-aging early... and ended up with cystic acne for years, still trying to recover from it. My skin was crystal clear before using this product and now I have scars that won't go away. Please consult a professional before using a cold cream, it is so popular and everyone might think that it'll work for them. If you have dry skin, it might work for you, but my oil skin babes steer clear of this unless you want to end up with damaged skin like mine!
My mum used this since she was a teenager and at 85 she had amazing skin.
Best eye makeup remover for me is the Ponds cold cream with the blue top. I like it better than anything. Not oily or greasy… and works as a great moisturizer too.
The blue lid is not a makeup remover. It’s a moisturizer.
Helped clear my acne actually enjoy it for make up removal as a second cleanse (Liz earle also great but £)
I love Ponds cold cream. I use it every night and consider it an important part of my skincare routine. It is not magic, but it is gentle and maintains a healthy moisture barrier. As a part of a solid care routine, it makes a positive impact on skin.
Unfortunately, this did NOT work good on my face. I have combo/oily skin… made my skin irritated.
You might be experiencing irritations from one of the preservatives/thickeners. The cold cream is literally just an emulsified jar of Vaseline and beeswax, you can probably replicate with just Vaseline.
Just look product with beeswax based... instead of petroleum
My mother also used Pond and did not have wrinkles in her eighties until she got sick
Love this stuff but use the blue cap. Also I’m in california and found a ponds made in Mexico and it’s way better. It’s way creamier and more hydrating.
I actually use this and it keeps my skin clear and moisturized
I used to live by that stuff. I had severe acne at one point and it was the only thing that I could wear that didn't irritate my skin.
I didn't use it to remove anything. I left it on ...
Yes yes absolute great product
I don't wear makeup frequently though. I am near 40 and I usually only use lip balm, mascara & I fix up my eyebrows. I have a skincare routine but my question is, what is this going to do for you if you don't need it to take off your makeup?
I think you're supposed to use the blue lid moisturizer instead. Many people still swear by it for hydration
WE are Ponds People
My Mom is 98 doesn't look it or act it
She still use Ponds Cold Cream
I use the newer updated ones
I've had numerous patients in their 70s+ who swear by this or olive oil and they look 50s or younger. But you have to start with it and stick to it.... Its just moisturizing like there is no tomorrow. Doesn't undo but prevents
I use ponds cold cream to remove makeup and sunscreen as part of a double cleanse but I would never leave it on as a mask. Way too heavy on the skin.
SAME!!! I used to kiss my mom goodnight and I’d end up with ponds on my cheeks too lol she’s now 55 and still looks amazing for her age
My mom did the same thing. And she said people were shocked and told her it clogs pores. this was 20+ years ago she told me this.
Get some Clinique moisturizer too, main ingredient is mineral oil.
I use ponds cold clean as my second cleanser and it’s changed my face so much more hydration
Coconut oil does the same thing, too
My dad has good genes, he died young...at 54 but he looked 30. I wish i inherit that. He occasionally used cold cream, esp during winters
It causes extreme acne and breakouts for me. I had no idea what was causing it. My dermatologist pointed it out. I quit using it. Skin cleared up.
Me too, Just use a thick moisturizer instead massage it in ❤️
@@user-sc9pn3tq4y , thank you. I appreciate it!
@@ItsMeHello555 you’re welcome ☺️ one more thing is to find thick moisturizers that have been around a long time and still have great reviews. It shows that it works and it’s not something that’s new that you might not know if it will work in the long run. 💕 of course there are new things that will probably work just a suggestion 😊
@@user-sc9pn3tq4y , sounds like good advice to me! Thank you!
I am a ponds cold cream stan but only as a makeup remover lol
I drink water and use tretinoin. But mostly rely on genetics. My mom looks good for her age, and considering she did crack in her 20s and still look good now I'm confident that my skin will still look good in 20 to 30 years.
