Pond's Cold Cream Make-Up Remover 2-Pack, 3.5 Oz Ea

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...

I've used this product for many years as a makeup remover. I like that it's not heavily scented and not greasy. This smaller size jar is the perfect size for travel and not taking up a lot of room in my cabinet.

No matter how many cleansing balms and makeup removers I try, I always end up coming back to this. It removes makeup so easily (even stubborn eye makeup) while still leaving my skin feeling soft and moisturized instead of stripped. It’s simple, effective, affordable, and just works every time. Definitely a staple product for me.

I have waited to post my review because I wanted to give an accurate description of my experience. This is my first encounter with using a cold cream cleanser. I am pleasantly surprised by how well it removes makeup. First, I tried applying the cleanser and then removing it with a tissue (which turned into 4 tissues) because that's the way I've seen other women use it. I didn't like that method because it felt like a lot of tugging on my skin. However, it did indeed thoroughly remove my makeup. I first applied the cream heavily thinking that it was going to require a lot to get off all of my makeup. The second time I tried it, I applied the cleanser and then removed it with a damp cloth. I applied a little less cream this time since I was also going to be using a damp cloth. The makeup still came off easily, but I felt like 1) I just ruined a perfectly good wash cloth because of all the makeup residue and 2) I washed away the moisture in my skin and was left feeling really dry. Still.... I'm impressed with how much makeup came off. My tried and true method that I prefer is applying a light layer of cream all over my face and then removing it with a facial wipe. I like the Co$tco brand since it's cheap and it's light and the cloths are plenty big enough that I just need one and it still leaves plenty of moisture behind. I should mention that I use a very high quality foundation made to really stick to your skin and last throughout the day and waterproof mascara. I find that if you really massage it into your skin, and also let it sit for a few extra seconds on your lashes, it breaks everything down easily with only one application. You can actually feel it breaking down the mascara as you gently massage it in. I should also mention that I normally have oily skin and I was super hesitant to add something greasy on top of my skin. However, my oiliness has reduced and I haven't had a single breakout since using this product (been using for well over a month). I am astonished at how cheap this product is and how well it works. How is it possible that no one has ever recommended this to me before??

Just what I expected but jars are smaller than the last one I found at the store. I guess it’s like everything else you get less for your money

I am 92 years old/I have been USING PONDS cream since I was FIFTEEN. I am still getting compliments on my complexion. I do not have a camera, there for no picture Sorry. Sue A Sayles

Feeling a bit nostalgic and looking for inspiration for retro design I began watching a series of YouTube videos about life in the 1950s. I was getting a kick out of a few that featured life of the average woman… You know… like the ones of women who are afraid their husband is going to return home from work and you haven’t clean the toilet bowl. Gasp!! Whatever should they do? I began noticing a few tips that still apply even in our modern tech world. One was the use of Ponds cold cream. I remembered my grandmother used it as did my mom. Both had great skin. I even vaguely remember the commercials when I was a kid. It’s inexpensive so for the heck of it I ordered a jar. In shock! This product actually has better results for removing make up, moisturizing, and cleaning my face better than any expensive product I’ve used in my life! I’m not exaggerating! It works incredibly well. Very few ingredients. I’ve now become a fan and use it regularly. It’s very efficient. I honestly can’t believe the difference in my complexion all for pennies on the dollar comparative to really expensive products that had become a routine over the years! One jar lasts quite a long time, taking the place of a make up remover, of face cleanser, and a moisturizer that I’ve used at the cost of approximately $45 monthly! I’m not exaggerating! The jar doesn’t have the elegance of a lot of today’s products. In fact, it hasn’t changed much over the years and likely that is on our side because of the lower cost. We pay for a lot of product presentation. The contents make all of the difference. There is a reason why this product has been around for generations. If you have the impression that this product is too old-fashioned to work well, as I thought, give it a try. It’s so inexpensive comparatively to most products on the market today you can always toss it if you don’t like it and not feel like you’ve wasted money. I’m telling you for a fact that my husband who loves me in Brigette Jones “just the way I am” has commented more than once that I have brighter and fresher look. Several friends have been very complimentary lately and this is the only thing in my routine that’s different. It’s not a miracle of any type. It’s just a very clean and basic product that gets the job done without a lot of extra additives. I’m loving the results and the low cost.

Love Ponds Cold Cream! I use it daily to remove makeup and facial sunscreen. Leaves my skin feeling moisturized I get fragrance free. No irritation to my skin.

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!!

This pond's cold cream is great i use it every day as a skin care routine daily. I have found that this skin care brand is perfect for my type of skin which is sensitive and it does not irritate my skin. the scent can be a bit over powering if you have a sensitive nose but for me it is OK. The cleanser quality is great as it gets rid of makeup and grime from the day away with ease. I don't have to use a lot as a small amount goes a long way which is amazing. the value for the price i got this item is just right. it doesn't cost too much and it the right price for me. I would highly recommend this product if your looking for a vintage style face cleanser with great quality and great pricing.

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.

Used for 20yrs one of the best cleaners on the market it removes waterproof mascara so easily no matter how much you put on and leaves a nice silky texture on the skin

Without doubt one of the best makeup remover.
