I finally got the ponds BB cream and i tried i have to say i was a bit sceptical as i have dry/combinational skin,however i have to say it is good my skin feels soft and supple its not flaking and its not shining or greasy.I love the feel its not drying my face which is good as a was worried abt skin dryness as it winter.So far so good
I love the silkness feeling on your skin, its not creamy or oily it feels very light. i wore it with a little bit of moisutizer underneath still it felt very light and my skin was nice and moisture not oil at all. i wore it again without the moisturizer and it felt little bit tight on my chicks i think it's b'coz of the weather i have a combination skin. the only problem i hade is that it is darker than my skin tone. overall thumbs up.
So today I finally picked up my package from the post office. First of all the fact that it comes in tube is a plus. The packaging is so beautiful and the pink and silver gives it an 'expensive look' like the Clinique etc...
I was excited and curious to test it and see how it will score against the other BB creams that I already use. I usually use my fingers to apply foundation and liquid make-up. The cream scored a 10/10 for not leaving any colour residue on my fingers like the other BB creams does. It melted in my skin and covers the dark spots on my cheeks.
No matter how much you put on it still leaves your appearance natural yet you look like you have a foundation on.
Day 3 of my Ponds BB Cream.From the 1st day I applied it my skin felt lighter ,like it was breathing almost .That's the biggest plus for me because some foundations tend to clog up your pores .There is a certain glow to my face also .This is the first time that I see and feel results so soon after changing to a new facial product . I have uneven skin tone which meant I had to apply a lot of foundation before but with this BB Cream I dont need to apply a lot and my face immediately looks well blended . I'm LOVING it :-) :-) Thanks Beauty Bulletin and Ponds
I finally got my Pond's BB Cream. I have an oily to combination skin, so I wasn't sure if the BB Cream was suitable for my skin because anything with an SPF makes my face look and feel even oilier. The color, Chocolate also gave me a doubt because it looked a little more darker because I'm light in complexion. I gave it a try, and all I could say was WOW. It controlled the oil on my face and gave my skin an amazing luminous glow. It blended with my skin tone perfectly and covered all the imperfections on my face, with just a small amount. The packaging, the texture, the scent and the weight (featherweight) of the cream on my face it's just amazing. I'm so loving it. Thanx Pond's for an amazing cream and special thanx to BEAUTY BULLETIN for selecting me to be one of the product reviewers, it a great experience. I'm enjoying it.
I finally got my BB Cream, so the first thing I did was to smell it :)...So the smell attracted me. I've got the chocolate color. I was a bit scared at first because I thought maybe it was going to make look otherwise, but because this is an all in one, I couldn't even notice if I've got it on. However, I've got it on now, and my skin feel a bit only, but I'm not complaining because its winter and normally around this time of the year, my skin gets dry. I love this cream, its the best thing Pond's has ever done, and because I use Pond's Flawless Range, I saw that this product works the best when you've got the whole range...I really cant wait to see the results :)
Okay tis definitely not a foundation, don't be tricked by the colour of this product. My initial impression of this product was the pink & silver packaging, that's petit enough to be carried in my make-up bag. Just like most ladies have said that it is easy to use; no spilling! Just press for the amount required & "viola." Soft is not the word to use as to how it feels on the skin, but rather silky. It's day one for me and I'm yet to see the results. It looks promising but let's wait n see.
Okay day 3, which is today...I decided not to moisture and use the BB cream as the moisturizer, because I cant afford to have an oily face. Lets see how it works , but so far so good, my skin feels softer and radiant.
I LOVE HAVING A FAST MAKE UP ROUTINE AND THIS BB CREAM HAS GIVEN ME JUST THAT. I LOBE THE CHOCOLATE TONE IT MATCHES MY COMPLEXION PERFECTLY. IT HAS A LOVEU TEXTURE THAT ALLOW ALL OUT EVEN APPLICATION. THE MATT FINISH JUST COMPLETES IT. I AM NOT BOG OM HEAVY MAKE UP SO THIS GIVES ME A POLISHED NATURAL LOOK. LOVE IT MWAAH
Upon receiving my sample form the beauty bulletin, i have been using my bb cream for about two weeks now and i abolutely love it. It is light , non-oily and has mutiple benefits. I have not been wearing my usual make-up since i have received it. It gives my skin complete coverage mostly in the problem areas. i do not have perfect skin and certainly have blemishes to hide and this cream did just more than that, the blemishes have been fading bit by bit. As women sometimes we need a fast make up routine , and with the new bb cream you get that and more,giving you glowing and radiant skin. The color matched my skin perfectly. I hAve already recommended it to my girls.
Here's to fast, easy, perfect looking skin. I LOVE IT
Day five was on Sunday, I could not wait to wear my cream , I noticed something while I was driving to church, that my nose got a lot oilier because I was facing the sun's direction, but I used a small amount of the cream and wow, it covered the whole oiliness..I'm so hooked on this BB, its the best! I love it!
Yaaay, I'm on track now, today is day 6 :)....and this morning I suspected that my skin might be a bit bright(ish)and indeed, it is...one of my colleagues said I look different, lol, and I showed him the BB cream, it was fun...so Yes, I'm glowing! Still a bit oily, lol..lets do this Pond's...Woop Woop!!
Day 7, still happy with my cream, I think I may have a rash though, not sure If its my Pond's, but I'll keep an eye. So far so good though! I'm still glowing, and I think I see the difference already, lol, or do I see what I want to see? I'm still happy with my BB, there is still that oily issue, but like I said, it will be fixed! my skin is glowing though :)
Day 8 is almost over and I'm still happy, no complains, although this pimple is still there :(....I saw this morning that my cheeks are getting somewhere, they are different, lol....My skin is softer, the best feeling about this cream is that it blends so nicely with my skin and its so quick to use, Wow Im impressed. Lets see what day 8 brings! Thank you
Day 10, Still the same as day 9, except for my glowing face, I saw something last night when I was washing my face, I noticed that some of the sports are no longer darker than what they use to be, but hey let me wait, I'm so excited, I just hope I saw the right thing though....Will do Day 11 and 12 on Monday.
Day 11 was on Sat for me :)...Yay! I was at a family engagement party, You would swear I was soon to be the bride, lol, geese too much glow there! I was complemented left right and center. I saw my skin was not that oily, like the other days. I was sweating a lot though, because I was dancing, but for some reasons, I was wiping my face with wet wipes, but still felt like I've got the cream applied! I'm so impressed with this!
Day 12 was on Sunday :).....Woop Woop! What a day, I don't mean to brag, but damn I'm glowing! BB cream is the future! I've noticed marks that are disappearing, I'm loving this, like I said it saves time and its a quick fix :)
Day 13, yaay I'm on track, okay this is the last week for me to share the everyday joys of this BB cream. This should also be called a miracle cream by the way :)...I must say, I know this sounds like a lie, but I think my skin is there, all the results are showing, my skin is even, still a little bit of spots, but I'm getting there! This is a must have product! Will be doing a video review before the end of this week, I cant wait! Woop Woop
well funny how when i started using the Ponds BB cream i was a bit skeptical as i am 1 of those woman who actually prefer to use nothing on their skins. i tried out the BB cream and i must say it left my skin looking so flawless couldn't believe it myself when i looked in the mirror to see the great change that just occurred. funny how my grandmother keeps reminding her not to forget to buy the cream as she has also tried it and we are both in love with our skin and the results. will definitely continue using it.
Bought the new bb cream and wow. Being Indian I can never find the perfect color until now . Really amazing light weight and covers up what needs to be covers up. I wear it to the gym and after a hard work out I still look amazing. Good to go to work
Has a silky soft feel and perfectly made for any type of African skin. Gives the perfect illusion of an evened out complexion. From the time it touches your skin it makes the skin feel lovely. I was first a bit concerned as to wether the choclate tone would be too dark, but infact it was just right and blended into the skin perfectly. And what I love the most: it not only covers up light imperfections it also work on evening out your skin tone and giving you that flawless radiance that POND'S aims to achieve.Perfect for also using beneath a powder foundation instead of a normal Moisturizer, gives the face a lovely glowing matte look. Quick and easy. Just apply and you are ready to hit the road. Awesome product, you gotta love it! A definite must have from the avid Beauty queen to the on-the-go Home executive.
I finally tried out the Ponds BB cream in beige and very happy with its smoothness and quality. i have used many other bb creams before, and i shall for sure be sticking to this one!
I am a huge fan of BB cream, the Ponds BB cream in beige blends perfectly with my skin tone and it has an SPF of 30! It's really lightweight and doesn't clog your pores, I really love how it gives me flawless looking skin with a healthy glow without oiliness.
I bought this and it does a lot if mileage with me post gym, weekends away! It really works well and because my skin is on the drier side i dont have to use a powder to set or mop up any shine! V reassuring that it has a high SPF 30 and lots of other ingredients to ensure flawless matte appearing skin! Photographs incredibly well as well! I'm almost finished with the tube i bought about six months ago and while I may stick with a bb cream with more moisturising benefit i think this is a great buy for normal to combination skin!
Today I started using Ponds BB flawless radiance cream the chocolate one. And I must say it made my skin very clean and pure at the same time it made my skin even....I had a problem with my skin being oily but when I applied it this morning my skin was evenly toned but as we all know a product doesn't stay all day later on evening it faded away. But all in all its a very good product for a person who has uneven skin.

The BB Cream continues to be the latest craze in the world of beauty. Now, applying it properly is important for ensuring that you get the results you want from it. Initially, I would put it on as you would any other face cream. However, this would lead to uneven coverage by the Pond’s Flawless Radiance BB Cream. I looked up the best way to do this and this is what they recommended. First step is to squeeze a small amount of the BB Cream on to your finger. Putting too much means you will not be able to rub it all into your face and it will become messy. You can then dot this BB cream on your forehead, cheeks and chin. Blend in the BB cream and spread it outwards from the centre of your face. This will give you even coverage that looks natural. The best time to put your Pond’s BB is after you have washed your face and put on your Pond’s Day Cream. This will ensure that your face is clean and moisturised. The BB Cream can be the final step to give your face an even tone that also glows.
I have been using the Ponds BB cream for the past 5 days and i have to say it does work as i have dark marks and uneven skin tone but i have to say the marks are fading and the skin feels soft.I am also happy with the fact that it does not even dry my skin i love this product.Im happy definetly i will be buying this as it last longer and it feels smooth and it does not fade a bonus its that its not greasy
This product definitely lives up to all the hype.Has a beautiful texture, blends easily and the fact that it doesn't stain is an added bonus.For those with dark marks like my, it won't completely replace your foundation though as coverage is only medium.Works perfectly as a primer, make-up stays put,no streaks no oiliness, no shine all day long.Pond's just might have won me over!
I loved the bold new packaging and design of the cream, it was light and I could easily carry it around in my hand bag without adding any extra weight, there were no spills of the cream or cracks on the packaging. The tube was flexible and I could easily squeeze the cream out.
I tried out the Chocolate Pond’s BB Cream for five days now and the results are incredible. The BB cream left my skin moisturised and has a clean refreshing smell. The cream blended in well with my skin tone and stopped my nose from being oily throughout the course of the day. The BB cream left my skin with a smooth and silky soft touch. Another factor which I absolutely loved about the cream is that it was instantly soaked up by my skin, left no traces of residue and has a non-greasy feel to it.
I highly recommend this product for all African ladies!
The packaging is pretty, the product has a very pleasant smell (which is great) and it looks pretty on my dressing table. When my 25ml freebie is finished, I’ll be stopping by my local Clicks or Dischem to pick up some more. (I’m using the shade in Chocolate)
Day 2 was awesome, I'm getting use to the product now, still getting oilier, but during the day I apply it and it works better for me when I apply it twice a day.

The new Pond's BB cream is a must have in every lady's bag. For best results you can use it together with the Flawless Radiance range. We all have busy days and once applied in the morning and maybe you need a quick freshening up to do, you can touch up your face with some BB Cream for that extra glowing effect. One can still apply foundation on top of the BB Cream should you feel like it isn't enough (which I doubt will happen), what surprised me is that it doesn't fade away and doesn't need re-applying, doesn't block my pores AND the best ever was that my dark marks on the face and under my eyes started fading beautifully!
It is cost effective yet I think it comes in a very small tube.
I still love this BB cream, goes on smooth and even on my skin, looks like skin but better.. Doesn't melt off of my oily skin, ZERO breakouts, ZERO transfer, leaves my skin with a beautiful glow.
On those days you want to look fresh and let your skin breathe and not look "made-up" this BB cream is the product for you.
This BB cream is formulated for African women and comes in two shades, Beige and Chocolate. I received a sample in Chocolate, which is unfortunately much too dark for me, especially in winter when I tend to get pale very easily. The shade is however perfect for my mother. When testing the product I noticed two things immediately, it rubs in very easily and it has a matte finish without being dry. It rubs really easily into my skin. When my mom tested it, the product blended really well into her skin and it looked completely natural. Like most of Pond's other products, you don't need to use a lot of the BB cream to get a good coverage. A little bit of product goes a long way.
I'm not a fan or devotee of PONDS products but being on trend meant I had to try their version of the famous BB Cream. I've been using their Beige coloured cream or a month now(not everyday) and am very impressed.
POND'S unfortunately only released 2 colours that work best for African skin tones, luckily the beige and chocolate fit into the Indian spectrum of tones as well. The packaging is the typical silver and glossy pink, somewhat expected from Ponds. This to me was dissapointing, especially since the Chocolate colour was formulated right here in South Africa! Some homage to the country would have been a nice idea and would've helped spark interest in proudly South African initiatives.
The exciting bit of the POND'S BB Cream is that it contains NO Titanium Oxide. This is the teeny culprit responsible for giving skin an ashy/grey look. The formula glides onto the face smoothly and blends seamlessly. With an SPF30 protection it also helps to protect skin- cover and protection in one product.
I wasnt happy with the price sitting at R90 for a 25ml tube, even more so when POND'S is synonomous with being the people's product. But with all the advancements Pond's is making to their beauty and skin-care line their fast becoming a luxury brand with a price tag to match.
Definitely is one of the better BB Creams I've tried and will be in my make-up bag for when I need matte looking, covered and protected skin. POND'S has once again cemented their status with South Africans in bringing out a product that suits us best :D
My day 4 was on Sat, so I had no internet :(.....but happy to share with you bb, my skin was a bit better without the day cream, although I've this huge pimple now, but I'm sure it will go away, I'm still happy though!
Having tried The Flawless Radiance Range and hating it (because it broke me out so bad), even going as far as taking it back. I must admit, I was already having doubts about trying the new Flawless Radiance BB Cream. I have since used the BB Cream for a week and a half and this is what I found
Pro's ? Gorgeous packaging - shiny and pink ? Lovely application - no ashiness ? Moisturising - feels almost like a tinted mosturiser ? Leaves skin matte for most of the day
Con's ? For R89.99 the product is too small ? I feel it didnt offer much coverage and I still had to put concealer and powder
Okay I tried hard to wreck my brain trying to find more cons, but there arent anymore. I like the Ponds BB Cream but I feel it would be more suited to summer conditions and the plus side about it is, IT DID NOT BREAK ME OUT!

i believe foundations are designed to cover dark facial spot n blemishes amongst other things, the main point is to make us girls feel good and confident when approaching the public eye. i however, have never used it before, so on trying out the new pond's BB i was kind of scared of how i would look, when i finally used it, it gave me numerous surprises but the very first was "what!!!, it really blends in with my skin" i then smiled. later that day i met up with a friend and she complimented my skin(face) so now i was even more confident. i tried using it daily there after and it gave me good results everyday and today was my day 5 and i have noticed that the dark spots around my eyes are starting to get lighter without even using the cream. it is really working for me and i have not discovered any complication so far. i will definitely get myself a new one. it is a must have piece of make up for girls.
I've been using the BB cream for five days and I'm very happy with the results. It blends perfectly without give your skin the grey shade that ponds creams are known for.
So I finally got my BB cream in the post (took long enough) and I have to say I was pleasently surprised. I am a Pond's princess and have been for years so when this came around I was more than chuffed that I could only use the Pond's range without tainting like I was with the Garnier BB cream. I like the Garnier, its works fine, but it clearly has white pigments which eventually look ashy. The Pond's on the other hand, in Choc, has none. So it went on smooth and looked totally natural. It blended perfectly and left no oily sheen which is a bonus since I am made of sebum.
I have been using it for a few days now and I am really happy. I think I will have to be sticking to it. I prefer it over foundations anyway!
All in all, I am happy with the overall feel, look and smell of the Pond's BB Cream.
When I was chosen to review a Pond's product I cringed as I had to overcome my tainted image of the Pond's brand by actually using one of their products. The mail arrived and I was greeted by a lovely petite package. From day 1 this Pond's Flawless Radiance BB Cream sat well on my usually sensitive skin. It brightens my skin, provides the much needed SPF, gives me an even tone all while adding the required colour. The cream dries well, has a pleasant smell and feel on my face. I must commend it for working well with my dry skin as it provides sufficient moisturise in these Cape Town winter days. This BB cream won my trust when more than one friend commented on the change on my skins appearance, one of my buddies further tried my BB cream and loved it on her skin, we then went to Clicks to purchase her a tube upon arrival we found the Pond's BB cream on promotion and it retailed at R89.99 which is a relatively affordable price for something so magical.
I recommend the Pond's BB cream to anyone who doesn't need a lot of coverage and is "chocolate" or "beige" skin toned.
