REVIEW: Pond's Cold Cream - The Cool Classic

I ran out of The Face Shop's Herb Day Cleansing Cream last week and I did not have time to buy. I checked out the stuff I had and I found Pond's Cold Cream (The Cool Classic). With all the BB creams, foundation and concealers on my face, I was in dire need for a makeup remover. 

I'll be doing a review for Pond's Cold Cream - The Cool Classic. 

I think every Filipina girl who were born during my time has one way or another tried a Pond's product (especially their facial wash!). 

******************************************************

I have already said goodbye to this product when I was getting old (hmm.. not really old.. should I say 'when I was gaining years in my life'). So when someone gave me this  Pond's Cold Cream, I was not too excited to use it. 

But since I had no choice, I had to use this last week. Here's my take on this: 


THE PRODUCT: 
- It's a COLD CREAM CLEANSER. It's used as a make-up remover/skin cleanser. 
- This cold cream is CLASSIC. It's not advertised that much compared to other skin care products that they Pond's have. It's a bit difficult to find this product in our local drugstores and supermarket. I tried looking for this last weekend to check the price but I couldn't one in Watson's near in our place. 

- It comes in a jar.
-Net Weight: 6.1 OZ / 172g 

Product Description: 
-This is a soap-free cleanser gently removes dirt and make-up, even waterproof mascara, without drying skin. 
-HYPOALLERGENIC
-SUITABLE FOR SENSITIVE SKIN
-WON'T CLOG PORES
-DERMATOLOGIST TESTED 

Directions for use: 
- Apply gently to skin. 
-Wipe with tissue or wet washcloth to remove. 
-Rinse with water if desired. 

WHAT'S INSIDE: 


- The SCENT: Oh!! It has a very strong scent. It's quite strong and reminds me of the creams that our grandmothers use. I was a little hesitant to try this because of the scent but since I had no choice, I had to scoop out a blob and apply it to my face. 
- Once you scoop it out, you will notice that the cream is thick. It is also quite oily. 

Hmm.. oily. 

The APPLICATION: 
- I massaged this to my face so that the BB creams and all those makeup would easily come off. 
- This is way too oily. After applying  Pond's Cold Cream, your face will feel like someone smothered you with butter. 

- After applying this on my face and wipe it using tissue or a piece of cloth. 

- I actually I liked what I saw after wiping my face with tissue.

Oh dirt! 

WHAT CAN I SAY?
- Hmm.. I can't decide whether I will praise this product or give it a thumbs down. Here are the reasons: 


PROS: 
- As a makeup remover: a big THUMBS UP! I must admit that this is a perfect make-up remover. It removes all my stubborn makeup in just a few wipes.
- Removes make-up without drying skin: With all those 'oil' on your face, I really doubt your skin will dry. 


CONS: 
- Oh the scent!!! Once you open the jar, that scent lingers in your nostrils until you've wash it off. 
- Oh the oiliness!! It's really oily. I had to wash my hands with soap for 2-3 times to remove the oil. That's why I am a bit hesitant to leaving the product on my face overnight. 
- I had a breakout the next day. This is something I've expected. But after 3 days of using  Pond's Cold Cream, the zit somehow subsided. 


Will I buy this?
- Maybe. As a make-up remover, this product is all worth it. The scent? too strong.  I love The Face Shop's Herb Day Cleansing Cream but since I am saving my money, I will just stick to this for a while.
