Pond's Cold Cream Cleanser 3.5 oz

I have tried many, many different types of cleansing and make-up removing creams, gels, liquids, foams and oils. Despite this, I have never come across anything as effective and gentle as Pond's Cold Cream... This stuff was invented in the late 1800s and probably was in every household by the early 1900s... I remember as a child my grandmother always had it on her dressing table... I've used it on and off for most of my life (currently late forties)... And yet, I am always looking for something better, the new-and-improved, a completely natural alternative or the latest innovation out there because it's in my nature... Look at the label and you'll see many ingredients that are less than ideal such as mineral oil, beeswax, carbomer, ceresin, acetyl alcohol, et cetera... Things that must surely clog pores or cause rashes and issues for my sensitive skin... And yet......somehow it doesn't. It does not cause me to break out or get rashy even when I use it every day... EVEN when I used it when I was a teenager. How is that possible? I have no Idea, but it's true. I've tried the "Burt's Bees" cold cream but besides the comparatively high price tag, the texture is too thick and waxy and leaves my skin feeling stripped and dry. The texture is also NOT conducive to removing eye make-up without much manual rubbing which is round on my eye lashes and delicate eye skin... I've tried the "Noxzema Deep Cleansing Cream Plus Moisturizer" but it burns my eyes so bad, I dread using it and I don't want cleaning my face to involve many steps and products, vis-a-vis a eye make-up remover before I cleanse my face with the Noxzema and rinse my face with water and on and on... Ponds doesn't require a running water rinse... So I keep coming back to this ridiculously simple, super cheap, easily found basic solution... When I get home from work I put up my hair or otherwise pull it back and put a huge doll of Ponds on my dry face with clean hands and rub it all over my face, neck and chest. It feels nice and removes every trace of make-up and grime including waterproof mascara and eyeliner with no effort. If it gets in my eyes as it often does, there is no irritation what-so-ever although if I'm wearing my contacts, it gets a little blurry... In the past I've just wiped it off with a dry soft cloth which works fine but recently found out a much better way is to use a warm damp cloth instead... Specifically I use, "Plush MojaFiber Microfiber Face Cloth: Ultra Dense 3 Pk - 12"x12" which I also bought on Amazon and LOVE! This little routine feels really nice, very relaxing... It leaves me skin so soft and so clean and moisturized but not greasy. Then, given my face tends to be on the dry side, I put on a moisturizer... If I wash my face again in the shower I take before I go to bed, well it feels like overkill and bothers my sensitive skin so I just wash the rest of me and go to bed. The nicest thing about this product is it's versatility... It functions as both make-up remover and cleanser and in a pinch, moisturizer as well with no break outs or irritation...although if your skin is oily or combination, using it as a moisturizer may feel greasy for you. When I go camping it's amazing as a one step product before I go to bed, no rinsing needed, just wipe it off with a dry cloth. When I travel internationally I take a tiny jar of Ponds which weighs virtually nothing and alittle goes a long way. Liquids are so heavy...

For context, I have normal skin that gets dehydrated easily and becomes oily when dehydrated. This is hands-down the best makeup remover I've ever used, and I wear a lot of heavy eye makeup. This cold cream removes the eye makeup quickly and effortlessly upon being rubbed in—and the best part is that it does NOT sting my eyes at all, which is a rare feat for most make-up removers that end up in my eyes. (Sometimes if too much of it gets in my eyes, my vision will get blurry, but it's easily flushed out with water / wet washcloth and has 0 long-term effects as far as I'm aware.) I also use this as a general face wash for the 1st step in a double-cleanse routine, to break down sunscreen (I wear both physical and chemical sunscreens depending on the day). I find it incredibly nourishing and hydrating on my skin, and I have rather dehydrated skin. It is the only cleanser I've ever used that doesn't dry me out AT ALL. I usually use this 2x a day, morning and night, and find that every time I finish using it, my skin is SOOO soft and plump and has that nice, cool mochi skin feel to it, which is so incredible! How I use it: I take a thick/generous dollop and rub it into my face, focusing on areas where I've applied makeup (mostly eyes). After rubbing it in for ~30 seconds, I take a wet washcloth and gently pat until I no longer feel oily residue. And voila! I'm ready for the 2nd step of the double-cleanse. Note that without a double-cleanse this cold cream does leave a very thin film, but it's never too oily or thick of a film—so on days that my skin is feeling particularly dehydrated, I actually skip the 2nd cleanse step because I like that very thin, protective film that this cold cream leaves me with. And then there's the totally unbeatable price—drugstore prices for what feels like high-end skin treatment (and I've used my fair share of premium products that didn't work half as well as this $5 tub). My skin has started to really glow in the last couple months of use, and I'm pretty sure I have this cold cream to thank as I've changed nothing else about my 5-step routine in the last year!!! My one gripe is the smell: it has this cloying "grandma" smell (think medicinal flowers) that gave me a headache the first 2 times of use, and I almost threw out the tub if not for the wonders it did for my skin and for makeup removal—and I'm so glad I stuck with it, as I've now gone nose blind to the smell. That said, there is a fragrance-free version of this same cold cream that I will buy in the future instead. Overall, so so happy that I've found my HG first-step cleanser that doubles as a highly effective makeup remover and eliminates the waste of makeup remover pads and the need for so much tugging of the skin around my eyes!!

Love this product for my sensitive redhead skin. I use nightly as my cleanser/gentle makeup remover. Removes EVERYTHING with no pulling or aggressive cleansing. 2 minutes of rubbing all over face and neck and remove with warm washcloth. I have purchase many times. Each container probably lasts me 2-3 mos. So the 3 pack is wonderful. My grandma used Ponds, my mom, me, and now I have my daughter using it Great product.

I’ve been using it for years

Pond’s Cold Cream has quickly become one of my favorites, along with their Hyaluronic Acid Gel Face Moisturizer. It feels amazing on the skin, provides great moisture, and works well for my dry/oily combination skin without causing breakouts or irritation. Even though it’s unscented, it has a very light, clean cream scent that isn’t strong and doesn’t linger after washing and doesn't cause headaches. Overall, it leaves my skin feeling smooth, hydrated, and comfortable, perfect for sensitive skin. I highly recommend this product!!

Really good cream, removes my waterproof mascara . The scent is not noticeable and texture is very smooth. I do recommend. The small container will last me at least 2 to 3 months. Worth the money.

I have been using this on and off for over 60 years and it is still special. My skin is now pretty thin and dry and I use about a generous teaspoon of the cold cream and then a gentle toner before bed. It cleanses thoroughly and leaves the skin feeling soft. The larger 9.5oz size pot lasts me several months so the pack of three will do the best part of a year. Great value and quality still.
