Ponds Cold Cream Cleanser
Have you ever heard about Ponds Cold Cream Cleanser before? It wasn't until some years ago that I heard this brand, and it was after reading a newspaper article like "Ponds Cold Cream keeps Kylie Minogue young". That's when I decided to try it out. Is it really true? Let's find out...
The main reason I wanted to give it a try was that I needed a cleanser and this one was really cheap, it was below £5. It is such a bargain for such a promising product, don't you think so?
Ponds Cold Cream Cleanser is a thick cleansing butter. It doesn't only remove the makeup and cleans the skin, but also moisturises the skin so well. The texture is close to The Body Shop Camomile Cleansing Butter, which I really liked using (If you are interested in another skincare product of The Body Shop please check my post The Body Shop Vitamin E Sorbet. I've been using Cold Cream on and off for years. I mostly use it in winter (makeup removing waters make my skin really dehydrated in winter) when my skin gets kinda rough and needs extra care. You only need a tiny amount of it for cleaning the face starting from the eyes. It completely dissolves the whole makeup and in the mornings you don't need to worry about having panda eyes, you know sometimes it happens! After using Ponds Cold Cream Cleanser, my skin feels so soft and it glows.
Let's talk about the bits I don't really like. It kinda has a strong creamy scent, which I don't really like, because unscented products are my favourites. Also once you use it, you will need warm/hot water to remove the grease on your hands. Even though this cleanser might feel good on your skin, it definitely doesn't feel the same way on your hands for some strange reason. Except these two things, I am really happy with it.
Would I recommend it? I guess I would. It is definitely not ideal for summer (especially if you have oily skin like I do), however, it does a good job for the days when your skin needs extra hydration and moisture. The cream is also currently on offer at Boots.
And about what Kylie said... I haven't used it that frequently to say anything about it, but how realistic is it? I am sure her young looking skin is also because of all the facials she gets!
Have you ever tried Ponds Cold Cream before?

Well it has been around for years and years and people still buy it so that says it all. Although I have never used it. I like the sound of it. Have a lovely day. Gemma xx www.jacquardflower.uk
It is the only product I've used from Pond's. For that price, it is a good product. Have an amazing weekend, Gemma xx
Thanks you too xxx
wow..this one looks tempting... www.crazyaboutcolors.com
It is good!
I've never heard of this brand before, I think it's not sold here in Italy. I like the sound of this product though and at such a low price it would definitely be worth trying! http://carolinapage.eu
I don't think it is available everywhere. For that price, it is definitely worth trying.
I heard a lot about this cleanser. Most of the youtubers like this :D. I dont think this is available in INDIA. thanks for sharing. Nice post :) http://notsohardtobepretty.wordpress.com
I don't think it is available in many places. Thank you :)

When I need something strong then it is a good product to use:) have an amazing weekend, Nadia x
I've never heard of this before! I have oily skin too so would be good on days in the winter when my skin is starting to get a little dehydrated! <a href="http://rebeccacoco.co.uk" rel="nofollow">Rebecca Coco</a>
It is really hydrating so I mostly use it when I want more than a makeup remover.
This sounds nice. Didn't know ponds had a cream cleanser. Wish this comes to India.
Wish it was available everywhere.
I definitely prefer unscented products too but Ponds works very well in Winter
Unscented skincare products are the best.
I have seen Ponds a few times around, but never tried it. But I do love my cleansers, so the next time I see it I may pick it up. It is a bargain after all. <a href="http://lindalibraloca.com/" rel="nofollow">Linda, Libra, Loca: Beauty, Baby and Backpacking</a>
It is definitely bargain for such a promising product.
I put it on my list. You are an enabler!
I have oily skin too! So I couldn't use it in summer. But it sounds like a great product ♥ summerdaisy.net
I only use it in winter, It does a good job.
Wow it looks so good!!! I want a cream like this, thank you for the information! xx www.onlybmh.com

A product is always more enticing when it has been recommended by a famous face I think. The price is also amazing too. So the fact that you only had 2 small dislikes, it sounds like a really great cleanser.:) - GIVEAWAY! - www.veebzboo.com/veebz-boo-com-birthday-plus-giveaway - www.youtube.com/veebzboo - My Autumn Matte Make-up Look
Totally agree with you, that's the main reason I gave it a try :)
This is one of those holy grail kind of products that I've heard about but haven't tried for myself. Sounds lovely for this time of year especially x <a href="http://www.beautywithcharm.com" rel="nofollow">Beauty with charm</a> | AVENE GIVEAWAY
It does a good job. At least my skin feels hydrated x
My skin is rubbish in winter with the heating on all the time - I could really do with a product like this! x <a href="http://www.vivaepernay.com" rel="nofollow">Viva Epernay</a>
Changing weather is the worst. It gives such a good moisture.
I actually used to use this a couple of years ago and it was so soothing on the skin - perfect for removing heavy makeup too a I used to use it on set when I worked as a make-up artist too! :) Layla xx http://www.sprinklesofstyle.co.uk
It really removes the heavy makeup and leaves the skin so soft, it is a good product :) x
I used to use this a few years ago but I stopped in the end because of the reasons you mentioned above. I find it too thick to my liking. Xx eLLa <a href="http://everylittlething07.blogspot.co.uk" rel="nofollow">every LiTTLE thing07</a>
I prefer not to use thick products, there are only a few that I occasionally use x
I had creams like this one, and i was using a pad to moisturize my face, for the same reason because i hate the texture on my fingers. www.amisroom.co
I really hate that greasy feeling on my fingers!
Love the cream http://www.queenhorsfall.com/
It is good.
My skin gets dried out so easily so I would love to try this! Awesome post :) http://www.lincolnparksharp.com
Thank you:)
I have a jar of this in my stash which you reminded me that I really need to finish, totally agree with your review - its great at its job, but the smell isn't my favourite (I can definitely get past it though lol) Iqra | <a href="http://www.theblushinggiraffe.com/" rel="nofollow">The Blushing Giraffe </a> x
Unscented skincare products are the best, I really don't like scented ones x
I never heard of cold creams before. I'm going to check this one out next time I'm in Boots. www.mydailywear.co.uk
It is cheap and it does a good job!
I tried this out a few years ago because I had only heard good things (and read the article about Kylie using it) but it broke me out so bad after only a couple of uses! I had to give it away in the end! Glad your skin likes it though! <a href="http://www.daniellesbeautyblog1.blogspot.co.uk" rel="nofollow">Danielle's Beauty Blog</a>
Oh no that's not good. I don't use it frequently as I have really oily skin but I am glad that I didn't have any break outs
I need this in my life ! xoxo www.sorananistor.com
It is good x
I've never heard of this before, although I have used Pond's makeup wipes and I found them to be very good (although I agree with your stance on the scent) I prefer unscented face products! Thanks for sharing :) www.lindseyginge.com
This is the only product I've used from Pond's. I like how my skin feels however I really don't like the scent :)
I've never heard of cold cream before but I would definitely try this :) www.osiarah.com Camy xx
It is worth giving a try :) x
I know this brand but I completely forgot they were still around for some odd reason. It sounds great! I guess I need to try their stuff again :) http://allornothing-blog.blogspot.co.uk/
I didn't know this brands until some years ago and I still don't know much about them :)
I guess me too I know them but not that much! I used to buy their products when I was student as it was fairly cheap. http://allornothing-blog.blogspot.co.uk/
I've never tried this before but it sounds really similar to a cleansing balm and I love those! Thanks for sharing :) X Anjelique <a href="http://anjelique.com.au" rel="nofollow">http://www.anjelique.com.au</a>
It is really think cleansing balm:) x
very nice post! i haven't tried it but i would give it a go Irene www.thedailylace.com
Thank you:)
You know, I've never tried Ponds before, but have heard great things about how it removes makeup really well. I've just been hesitant because I have such sensitive skin and any little thing can cause either a rash or acne. So the thought of rubbing a cream and mixing it with my makeup has caused me to question if it would break me out, but I guess there's only one way to really find out, right?! Thanks for the review, I think I may give it a try :) I hope you have a lovely day and weekend ahead, beauty! XO, Jalisa www.thestylecontour.com
It feels weird to rub a thick cream on my face, especially on my eyes however it really removed the makeup properly. You better stay away from it, I don't know how it would be on sensitive skin :) Have a great weekend, lovely! xx
I've never even used a cleansing cream before! I tend to stick to my micellar water for makeup removal, it works wonders for me. :) This little cream I might try, though, the price is very attractive and I don't think I'd mind the scent - I love fragranced products! Thanks for the detailed review, dear. <3 Kay http://shoesandglitter.blogspot.com
I tend to change the products I use depending on the season. Micellar water is the best for summer however in winter I mostly use cleansing balm:) Price is really attractive, in the end if it is not a great product, you don't lose much :)
This sounds like such a cool product! I love this type of cleansers! Thanks for sharing! x clumsyagenda.blogpspot.com
It is a good cleanser cream x
Let's get this straight, Kylie remains 'youngish' looking because of plastic surgeon. LOL! I have used Pond's, it was the first skincare brand which I used as a teenager and that my dear, was a different lifetime a go. Gosh....I do feel old. Haha! I haven't used Pond's in so many years, maybe I should check out what they have these days. Shireen | <a href="http://reflectionofsanity.com" rel="nofollow">Reflection of Sanity </a>
Totally agree with plastic surgery;) I haven't used it frequently to tell anything about giving younger skin but I doubt it does. If so I should really stock up.
I absolutely love Ponds cream, such a classic product isn't it. I heard recently from a PR that they've gone into administration... so hoping that isn't the case! Elle www.theellenextdoor.com xx
I don't know much about pond's however I guess they've been around for long time. I hope it is not like that x
It is definitely gentle!
I wanna try this product on winter, i love cream cleansers! ❤ XX karinanopaisdasmaravilhas.com
Cleanser creams are really good xx
I remember see this brand when I was a young kid in Canada, and it was dirty cheap, like $1 cheap. Of course now that big names use it the price has "sky rocketed". Okay, maybe not so much, but you know what I mean ;) Angie x |<a href="http://www.chocolateandlipstick.com/" rel="nofollow"> Chocolate & Lipstick || UK Beauty and Lifestyle Blog </a>
When there's a celebrity included then price just goes up, I actually hate it x
This sounds amazing, I will have to try it! xx Kelly <a href="http://www.sparklesandshoes.com/" rel="nofollow">Sparkles and Shoes</a>
It is good! x
I tried Ponds a few years ago for about a 6 month period. Honestly it didn't really do anything for me, but I've heard so many people swear by it. I think it's more of a miracle worker for people with older skin. Right now I use Skindrink from LUSH and I always recommend it to friends & beauty/skincare lovers. What moisturizer were you using before you tried Ponds? <i>Z</i> · <a href="http://www.hellozauni.com/" rel="nofollow"><b>HELLOZAUNI.COM</b></a>
It didn't do anything impressive for me however I just like how my skin felt after using it. I haven't tried that from lush, I will make sure to check it out when I'm there next. I keep using different brands, I've been using L'Oreal and the Body Shop moisturisers lately.
I've heard a lot of rave reviews of this! I have very dry skin, so maybe I'll look into this, especially now that it's winter. Thanks for the honest review :) xo Kiki http://colormekiki.com/
It would be good for dry skin since it is such a rich cleanser :) x
Amazing product! Thanks Adi http://www.fancycorrectitude.com/
It is good.
Love this cream! It's such a nifty little essential x crossinglemons.com
It does a great job for that price x
I'd like to try this, sounds like it would be idea for my skin! Corinne x www.skinnedcartree.com
I use it in colder months and my skin feels well moisturised x
I would like to try it too, sounds great. Much love from Japan. Jennifer xo www.jenniferbachdim.com
It is really good x
I want to try this especially for being under a fiver! I have oily skin too so i may not work for my skin too good! Rebecca, rxbxcca.blogspot.com
In colder months my skin get complex and I need something rich to get rid of the dry bits, this is doing a good job at moisturising.
Yes, that Kylie Minogue thing is just an advertising expertise. I was really keen on buying this cleanser but my pal told me that it left the face greasy, so I didn't purchase it. Nice review! <a href="http://themeticulousperfections.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Chaste & Beautiful</a>
Advertisement is a big thing, even an average product can be shown great. I believe it is mostly ideal for dry skins so I only use it when my skin gets dry.
I've never used it before, or heard of the brand, but it sounds like a great product to have in winter, and affordable too! <a href="http://awayfromtheblue.blogspot.com.au/" rel="nofollow">Away From The Blue Blog</a>
It is really affordable and it is good at removing the makeup.

I heard about Pond's cosmetics but unfortunately here in Italy they are not available :( xoxo www.milleunrossetto.blogspot.it
I only saw them in the UK, I don't think they are available everywhere xx
I have never heard about ponds cosmetic but now that I have I can't wait to get my hands on more of their products:) http://anythingandeverything.weebly.com/blog/dear-santa-this-christmas-i-would-like-to
It is the only thing I've tried from Pond's and it is not bad :)
under five pounds is indeed a great price for such a great product. It seems perfect for winter and I do need a good cream cleanser. Too bad about the smell and the fact it doesn't feel nice on the hands, but I guess what matters the most is that it works on the face. All in all, seems like something to have in mind. Thanks for your review! http://modaodaradosti.blogspot.ba/
It works on the face so I try to ignore how it smells it feels on the hands. It makes my skin so soft when my skin gets really rough due to the cold.
Nice review Ela! I've never heard about it. It seems like a good deal, under 5 pounds and with that amount of product. I will check out if it's on my local drugstore haha Have a great day, Ela xox Sel♥ selenaponcestyle.blogspot.com.es
Thank you:)
Ooh this sounds lovely, especially with how dry my skin gets in winter. The price is amazing too! Surprised Kylie doesn't use more high end stuff haha :) <a href="http://touchscreensandbeautyqueens.com/" rel="nofollow">India | Touchscreens & Beautyqueens</a>
It is such a moisturising cleanser, when my skin gets dry this is what I use. Totally agree with you, I would expect her to splurge money on high end :)
I was bouncing back and forth between this and my normal cleanser when I was looking to save some money. I ended up not getting it for the greasy after effect you mentioned even though I have really dry skin. I might try that body version though! Chelsey | www.chelseythornton.com
This is the only product I've tried from pond's and it does a good job at moisturising, even tho I hate that greasy feeling I still use it when my skin feels rough.
I've never tried it, but for that price, maybe I will now :) -Lily from <a href="//www.withlovelilyrose.com”" rel="nofollow">With Love Lily Rose</a>

Ponds is my fav cream of all time.<3 http://www.deckedupbeauties.com/2015/11/review-bourjois-healthy-mix-foundation-light-bronze/
I am sure it is really good :)
Interesting product , it's like a balm cleanser ? Or is it oil based?. Sounds moisturizing enough fir the winter <a href="http://beautish-bymaya.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Beautish.byMaya</a>
It is in between however more like oil based. It is definitely good for winter.
Ooh I used to love this, it comes in a different (very plastic-y and cheap) packaging in America - but the one you have looks so gorgeous! Wish the one in the States come in a better packaging. I think I stopped using it coz I got lazy from having to use a washcloth or large cotton pad to remove it. I prefer using cleansing oils now :) Stephanie | <a href="http://www.beautybucketeer.com" rel="nofollow">Beauty Bucketeer</a>
When I googled it before getting it, all I saw was plastic packaging however this one is good but it is tiny, only 30 ml I guess. I only use it when I need a rich cleanser and I have time to deal with the mess. Micellar water is my favourite:)
Cold cream reminds me of my mom and her beauty regimen - so nostalgic, but still so useful. I used to use cold cream in the winter to help with dry skin. I agree - it's great this time of year, but not so much in the summertime. xx Yasmin http://banglesandbungalows.com
It is such a rich cleansing balm and my skin gets enough moisture whenever I use it. Since I have really oily skin most of the time, I can only use it in winter. x
I have never used Pond's products but my mom has. I also prefer unscented products. I don't like that this cream leaves your hands greasy. Thanks for the review! Danielle www.spring2spring.com
It os one of the downside of this product, except that it is really moisturising.
