Pond’s Silk Cream Review

What the Company claims: Experience the latest nourishing treat from Pond’s! 24 hr moisturization + goodness of silk in a luxuriously light cream that moisturizes from deep within and gives you soft and smooth skin like never before.

Light non greasy formula.
Nourishing 24hr moisture lock.
Contains silk extract.

It is time to say goodbye to dull, dry skin and discover the secret to soft silky-smooth skin with the latest nourishing treat from Pond’s. Continuing its tradition of celebrating beauty by offering products that delight the senses and deliver beautiful results, Pond’s introduces the new Pond’s Silk Cream, a light luxurious non greasy formula that contains silk extracts. It prevents dryness while the 24-hour moisture lock helps to retain moisture to give you soft and silky-smooth skin.

Whether your skin is oily, normal or dry, changes in the weather can leave the skin dull, dehydrated and unbalanced. A good moisturizer not only helps in restoring the much needed moisture balance in the skin but also helps in keeping the skin soft and smooth.

The new Pond’s Silk Cream is an all year round moisturiser, suitable for all skin types that keeps the skin soft and silky-smooth all day long. Its light texture and easily absorbing non-greasy formula makes it an ideal solution for your daily moisturizing needs. The cream is also a great companion for the winter, when skin needs maximum care and nourishment.

Ingredients:

MRP: Rs.125/- for 100ml, Rs.80/- for 55ml and Rs.40/- for 30ml

It comes in a normal slightly round jar..has the trademark soft powder Pond’s smell..


This is super light and completely non greasy..I am not a fan of cold creams coz I do not like the heavy, greasy feel and the oil like slick they leave behind on face..

But this is soo good ! This is so perfect for oily, combination and normal skin too..Thank God Pond’s came up with something for us..otherwise it was always the rich heavy cream meant for dry skin..

It has Niancimide and Tocopheryl Acetate i.e Vitamin E (both help in healing any scars and marks and clear the skin) and Soybean and Lotus Flower oil..and also Peach and Strawberry Fruit Extracts..Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide (which act as sunscreen)

And its so economical..you can even keep it one in each bag at 40 bucks 😀 And its perfectly travel friendly.

Only issue is, it may be less moisturising for dry skin..as they need something richer..and they would have to reapply this, if using this…

But for other skin types, definitely try this ! I am sure you will like it..

This is my staple in winters..its in my bag..I use it like a hand cream, moisturiser, everything..my winter savior..I highly recommend this !!

Pond’s launches gold radiance™ Ultra Rich Night Treatment Capsules

Awaken to the Glow of Gold with
New Pond’s gold radiance™ Ultra Rich Night Treatment Capsules

Real gold serum concentrate and a rich vitamin complex infused in little capsules to recapture your youthful radiance.

Ask a woman what bothers her most about her skin and chances are that she will say dryness. It’s true; dryness is a common problem for women, regardless of skin type. However, what they don’t know is that as they age the skin dryness is a symptom and not the problem itself.

At Pond’s, we took up the task to study this deep rooted problem. What we found in our research was startling. The dryness women experience when they are young is different from the dryness when their skin starts ageing. And dry skin is more prone to dullness. So, we asked ourselves, how could we help women combat this dryness and recapture their youthful glow?

The Pond’s Institute knows that dry skin is different and struggles more to recapture the radiance of youth. That’s why Pond’s gold radiance™ Ultra Richproducts, infused with real gold serum concentrate, are especially designed for dry skin to provide the extra, rich care it needs to recapture the radiance of youth.

New Pond’s gold radiance™ Ultra Rich Night Treatment Capsules
For the first time from Pond’s, luxurious and high-performance nighttime formulation with real gold serum concentrate and a rich vitamin complex is captured for you in the New Pond’s gold radiance™Ultra Rich Night Treatment Capsules. As your skin goes through a lot during the day, the little capsule with combined gold serum concentrate and vitamin complex deeply* nourishes dry skin cells overnight. Its anti-ageing ingredient CLA also fights the tell-tale signs of ageing, so that you wake up youthful and glowing.
The little capsules are not only effective but also easy to apply. Before going to bed, just break open a capsule and gently massage the rich formulation on your skin with upward circular motion.Use it every evening as part of your daily skincare routine.

The New Pond’s gold radiance™ Ultra Rich Night Treatment Capsules is an introduction to our wholesome range of products.It includes Ultra Rich Day Cream with high performance real gold serum concentrate to keep you glowing through the day.Also, Ultra Rich Serum with potent anti-ageing ingredients gives your skin the extra care it needs to recapture its youthful radiance.

Pond’s recommends using these 3 products together forming your own little regime. It will make sure your dry skin stays deeply nourished and you achieve the best results.

Day Regime: For a glowing start to the day
Step 1:Get rid of the impurities on your skin with Pond’s gold radiance™ Facial Foam or Self Foaming Cleanser
Step 2: Treat your skin with Pond’s gold radiance™ Ultra Rich Serum and then apply Pond’s gold radiance™ Ultra Rich Day Cream over it.

Night Regime: To recapture youthful radiance overnight

Step 1: Thoroughly cleanse your skin to remove any impurities withPond’s gold radiance™ Facial Foam or Self Foaming Cleanser

Pond’s White Beauty Daily Spot-less Lightening Day Cream Review

Uncategorized, , , , , , ,
Pond’s White Beauty Daily Spot-less Lightening Day Cream with SPF 20 PA++ Review

Now thats a mouthful !

What the Company claims: After researching with over 20,000 genes, the Pond’s Institute identified a specific gene that significantly affects melanin production. Through this discovery, our most effective skin lightening formulation containing the revolutionary GenWhite™ formula has been created. It adapts to your unique skin to successfully lighten and even-out your complexion and prevent discolorations at the source.

What’s amazing about it is that the product works differently on each person. So, if there are areas on your skin that need extra help and contain more melanin, the formula concentrates on lightening and brightening those exact problem spots.

Sizes Available   50g         35g        25g     15g      9g
Price                Rs 249    Rs 140   Rs 80  Rs 49  Rs 10

Ingredients:

This comes in a pink and white oblong shaped tub..a trademark with Pond’s for the biggest size..since its made of glass..one has to be careful and its a little heavy too..not very travel friendly…it has a separate white lid on top which makes the rims messy always.

Its a baby pink colored thick cream with a powder like soft smell..not bothersome..now do not go by its looks..though its a thick cream, it is completely dry and mattifying..so much so that it would best work for oily combination skin..dry skin might needed added moisturisation.

Pros:

1. It does what it claims..it does lighten, brighten and even out skin tone, helps in lightening acne marks..and even helps in removing tan.
2. Completely matte and does not give that shiny greasy feeling..love that in summers.
3. Has SPF 20 PA++ protection..not enough..but something is better than nothing, right.
4. Comes in many different sizes and prices..and the other packing is not a huge glass jar..much travel friendly.

Cons:

1. Gives a whitish cast like in a high SPF sunscreen or a BB cream..its needed to be blended well..would be more so a problem for dusky skin tones.
2. Has parabens, phenoxyethanol and silicones.
3. And now time for some calculations..don’t mind I am a CA :p You get 9g of product for Rs. 10, so for Rs. 60, you can get 54g i.e 4g more than in this tub..so you pay about 4 times more just for the tub..and that goes for all increasing quantities..so its best bought in the smallest pack 😀
4. The white lid makes the rims of the tub messy every time.

Overall I did the cream and I am quite impressed with the formulation..best suited for oily to combination skin..would surely recommend this for them..dry skin may needed added moisture..and its best bought in the smallest pack.

Rating:

Quality: 4.25/5
Value for money: 3.5/5
Availability: 4/5

Overall Rating: 3.75/5

Would I buy it again: Yes

P.S: Product sent by brand for review but it has not affected my opinion.

Pond’s Perfect Match Contest Finale and the Winner


I hope you remember the four semi finalists of Pond’s Perfect Match Contest I shared with you..Ms. Swati Gupta, Ms. Sneha Kumthekar, Ms. Monal Kotak, Ms. Ayushi Bahuguna..Swati and Ayushi were from Delhi and Monal and Sneha from Mumbai..they had an interactive session with Dr. Aparna Santhanam last Monday…and then each of these girls were given a makeover through the week..I totally loved their makeovers..all four were looking fab..

I attended the finale on Saturday..it was at Renaissance Hotel in Powai, Mumbai…I loved the amazing setting across the lake..and the pleasant climate totally added to it..

They made the whole candle light dinner date setting to the right side of the stage for the lucky winner and Ranvijay ofcourse..

RJ Rohini compered it..and she has such super awesome sense of humor..Ranvijay interacted with each of the four girls..and then decided on the winner..

RJ Rohini

All four girls were introduced..and Rohini even interacted with their moms..

The moment seemed very tragic..and all four girls were nervous..well he felt he was more nervous and had never been so scared untill now in his life..never even during the most dangerous stunts…thats what he said..

So finally all girls closed their eyes and had their hand forward..and Ranvijay was going to keep a red rose in the hand of the winner..Ya it was Bollywoody (if thats a word) :p And Ranvijay gave the rose to Sneha Kumthekar..

And then they had the dinner date obviously..the lucky girl Sneha will also be the on the cover of some magazine..

Ok I feel like I am giving a running commentary now..but I loved the live band..they were all fresh and young..and the girl sang amazingly well..

The girl playing the guitar is just 16 !! And she was playing the keyboard too ! I guess her name is Shruti..do not remember exactly..but so talented..her face got covered..:/ my bad..

I loved how the contest and series of events took place..and the PR team was one of the warmest I have come across..everything was well planned and all fell into place..

Did you like the dream date setting ?
