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.

I received my Ponds BB cream in Chocolate courtesy of Beauty Bulletin about three weeks ago and I was happy to receive a Pond's product and I was keen to try it. None the less I was not expecting any miracles. My million Randela question was, will it really work or am I gonna end up with clogged pores and breakouts?
I must admit that I have been sceptical of BB creams since the whole Beauty world touted them as the next best thing in make-up and skin care. I simply wrote them off as tinted moisturiser that has managed to captivate the beauty editors. So being sceptically-eager to finally find out, I started reading the Ponds package and saw the promises. The doubting Thomasina in me was curious to know if maybe, just maybe Ponds has beaten more that they can chew getting on the BB cream bandwagon. Was this indeed the package that has managed to package all the benefits of a moisturising day cream, even coverage of a foundation and the sun protection of an SPF cream?
My experience:
I love the texture of the Ponds Flawless Radiance BB, it’s smooth, creamy, light, glides on easy, water based thus non-greasy, adjusts according to one’s skin colour tone (this was on an African skin) and gets quickly absorbed by the skin. It gave my skin a lovely even tone and left it well moisturised. It left no smudges on my white collars, thanks to its effective absorption by the skin. The packaging is also just as impressive, sleek and modern. Its small size threw me off at first until I noticed that a little of the Ponds Flawless Radiance BB goes a long way, so a great value for money, no doubt. The sceptic in me has been silenced and I am a believer in BB creams, at least of the Ponds Flawless Radiance BB creams.

I am such a fan off BB Creams...I actually prefer them over foundation. And I am really wanting to try out POND'S BB Cream because their Gold Radiance range has been excellent for me. I will most certainly be purchasing this BB Cream and hopefully it will work well with the Gold Radiance products.

And here's the BB wave coming, come on ladies catch the wave because our well known Ponds cream which has been keeping women beautiful for over 150 years has created the most revolutionary BB Cream which will sweep ladies off their feet.
This amazing BB Cream has something which no other BB Cream on the market has, this amazing BB Cream contains GenActiv Cover, which is an active formula, which evens skin tone and reduces dark marks from within.
Ponds BB Cream Benefits:
• Instant natural coverage
• Non-pore clogging
• Light, non-oily texture
•Instant skin hydration improvement for a moisturised look
• Reduces dark marks
• Evens skin tone
• Protects from UVA and UVB rays (SPF30++)
So far I've been using the product for almost a week now and yes this BB Cream is amazing. The BB Cream gives me a natural yet flawless look with an amazing dewy but fresh look. The BB Cream has a light texture which is soft and absolutely fluffy. The BB Cream goes onto skin effortlessly and blends in to skin with a smooth and matte finish. The BB cream gives skin a beautiful medium coverage. This amazing BB Cream is especially for African skin, however I wouldn't really say that because it works on most skin types and works especially well on oily skin because it doesn't make you shine at all.
The BB Cream comes in a shiny packaging, with a shiny silver tube and a large twist lid in shimmering silver. The tube has a large bright pink section which has information about the product. The thing I really love about the BB Cream is the nozzle, it's really small so it allows the perfect amount of BB Cream that you actually want. The smell of the BB Cream is the usual dreamy but fresh smell of Ponds cream which makes skin burst with fresh scent.
The product comes in the following colours:
Beige
Chocolate
It's sad that there are only two shades of the BB cream, hopefully there will be more shades soon. This amazing BB Cream has some really amazing long term benefits for a healthier and stronger skin.
These benefits are:
•Skin tone evening efficacies
•Long term skin evening benefit that works at the epidermal level of the skin through continuous usage.
•Dark mark efficacies
•Significant dark mark reduction results on the surface of the skin.
•Long term dark mark reduction benefits that work at the epidermal level of the skin through continuous usage.
•Significant and superior sun protection.
•Increase in skin hydration levels
•Long term improvement in skin hydration for healthy
•Long term skin improvements in multi-targeted areas.
PRO's and CON's of Ponds BB Cream
PRO's
•Light texture with a non oily formula
•Sets to a matte finish
•Doesn't need to be dusted with translucent powder
•Fresh Ponds scent
•Evens skin tone after frequent use
•SPF 30
•Blends into a natural flawless finish
Gives skin a lovely dewy look
Very attractive packaging
CON's
•There isn't much of the BB Cream in the tube- only 25ml
•Only available in two shades
So this BB Cream turns out a little pricey because R89 for only 25ml of BB Cream which means digging deeper in your pockets. However this BB Cream is unique and works from the inside to solve uneven skin tone and imperfections. Overall I would recommend you give this product a try because the product blends in flawlessly and looks simply amazing.

The Pond's BB cream comes in 2 shades - Chocolate and Beige. The Chocolate shade is specially formulated in Durban for the South African market to suit true African skin tones - something South Africa should be very proud of.
The Beige shade is the one I will discuss as it is what I use for my skin. It is a little too dark for my skin, but when applied using a foundation brush I am able to blend it in nicely with my skin tone. The BB cream is silicon based which means that it makes your skin feel incredibly smooth and acts as the perfect primer for your makeup. During the day the silcon evapourates leaving behind the optics in the BB cream and this creates a light wearing, beautiful product. I have been using this for just over a week now and have started to notice certain inconsistencies in my face appear to be less noticeable and am definitely thrilled about that.
A lot of people have complained about the R89 pricetag for only 25ml, but few seem to realise that this BB Cream has an SPF of 30. In my experience, as soon as a product has a decent SPF in it the price goes up. Most skin care products have an SPF of only 15 so this BB cream is absolutely perfect for our climate and is a must - even in winter. Many people don't bother to apply sunscreen when we always should.
Overall I am incredibly impressed with this product, I haven't gone into all of the scientific explanations because I have tried to keep this review short and to the point.
Just a note: BB cream is not meant to be a replacement for your foundation or moisturiser - it is meant to compliment your current routine. It should be applied after you moisurise.

i got tired of waiting for my free BB cream so last week Saturday i decided to get it. went to clicks and got the cream. i wanted to know what the rave was all about.
it's well priced and in terms of spills you don't need to worry about that. it fits in my bag. coverage is great and feels and looks like a second skin naturally.
the smell is great and if you haven't tried it go get it too

Due t renovations at the post office I got my BB cream pretty late. I must say I was a bit sceptical about the colour. I thought that it was like these foundations. But I'm extremely impressed by it. The way it blends in with my skin and how my skin is improving. Dark marks fading &my skin is glowing
you'll be hearing from me very soon

I was sceptical at first because I used products that left my skin feeling dry and uncomfortable. When I first tried the BB cream however I was amazingly surprised. It made my skin feel moisturised, soft and radiantly beautiful. I would recommend it to anyone with dry skin, because it is just amazing.

Started using the BB Cream on the 5th May 2013. To date I have matte and even looking skin. The light application of the cream covers my blemishes and somehow gives me this radiant glow. It looks natural, easy to apply and small enough to put in my bag for when I'm moving from office to dinner meeting. It even covers my scars/open pores from acne. I'm really impressed with the product and will definitely continue using it. Who needs 3 different products when you can get all thier benefits in one tube? Definitely worth the retail price.

I remember Ambi had a BB cream before one was launched by bigger cosmetic companies for African skin in South Africa, i tried it out and had a bad experience so i was a bit nervous about using this BB cream.I am not someone who wears make up everyday so this was a bit of a challenge for me but, i liked the Pond's BB cream because it wasn't just coverage, it was a sunscreen and moisturiser as well; and it did not stain like how normal foundation would.I like that it wasn't heavy too. Basically all the scepticism i had about BB creams was eliminated by the Pond's flawless radiance BB cream. Im glad i gave it a chance and i would definitely recommend it to other ladies.

I’ve never really been too keen on BB Creams. In fact, I am terribly fussy about any product I use on my face. But, after trying out the new POND'S Flawless Radiance BB Cream in Chocolate, I understand the hype about BB Creams.
What I really loved about this product was the fact that it was so light and blended into my skin perfectly. It made my skin look fresh and luminous, and it didn’t leave any residue or leave my skin feeling oily. Also, it has the most amazing, invigorating smell!
I did, however, find that it didn’t give me that instant colour coverage that I really wanted. So, I wouldn’t exactly agree that this BB Cream was expertly designed for African skin. The BB Cream was dark and chocolatey out of the tube, as expected, but very transparent once it was smoothed into my skin. This isn’t a bad quality though. It just means that this BB Cream will suit just about every skin tone. What could be better than that?
With regards to evening my skin tone and reducing dark marks, I have yet to find out. Other than that, I am very satisfied with this BB Cream, and would recommend this all-in-one GenActiv™ COVER formula and SPF 30 advanced sunscreen protection skin care solution to all BB Cream addicts.

So today I finally tried the BB cream. this is my first time using a BB cream, I'm so used to putting foundation on. I tried it this morning after my routine and I love the smell(was hoping it would even smell chocolaty lol).
It just absorbed so nicely on my skin and guess what? My hands weren't even dirty. I was hoping it would be a little thicker but ey, it matched my complection. The product was nicely moisturised. So far I like the product.

I received a free tube of this BB cream from beauty bulletin... Unfortunately I received a tube of the chocolate and I'm fairly pale (but not quite beige either).
My mother however is an extremely loyal Pond's user and the chocolate was a great match for her colour.
She's been using it for about a week and so far we're quite happy with the product. It applies smooth and easy. It blends really well and is a perfect match for her skin colour. It doesn't feel heavy to her (she does not generally wear makeup), but I find it a bit thick. She has reported that it does tend to make her a little shiny (she has very oily skin).
It's a great product so far for moisturising and works much like a tinted moisturiser. I do wish they had a medium shade like Garnier does as the beige is too light and the chocolate too dark and I would rather not buy two products. While it's not a bad product I do prefer the Garnier one to this.

when i first squeezed some of the pond's bb cream onto the back of my hand i was not impressed. the colour is not the deep rich brown i expected from the name, so upon application i expected it to leave a grey cast on my warm brown skin. how wrong i was! the bb cream absorbs so easily and seamlessly and feels smooth even on application. no hard rubbing necessary to blend the colour in, score! the cream is very light and has a very clean scent which is not at all overpowering; in fact it's barely there, which is another score in my book!
the finish is natural and unlike most other bb creams created for dark skin, it has no orangey/red undertones which is another big win for pond's.
so far i'm loving this cream. this only day 1, so i'll be updating later to share how it lasts through a normal workday, and again in a week so to report any breakouts - i hope there wont be any cos i'm really loving this product!

It si moderate and doe snot leave em skin too oily or too dry therefore I am able to apply my make up on top without a problem. I has really blended well with my skin tone and I have decided to continue on using this product. I am quite impressed with the results. Thank you beauty bulletin!!!!

I have been using the Ponds BB Cream- Chocolate for two weeks now and have to say that though it is a good product, I just really wish it could give me more cover for me it only fails on that!. my skin is still the same no change at all. After applying it i also dab my powder for more coverage. I think it would work well on people who do not have dark spots.

I tried the BB cream, and it feels very smooth on the skin, and I love the fact that it has SPF and I don't really have to put a sun screen on my face.
The only issue I encountered with the cream is that my skin is very dry, so after an hour or so, I get very dry and need to re-apply it.

I received the the chocolate shade. I loved how light it felt after i applied it to my skin, and the coverage was good. The only downside for me was how shiny i was by midday. Overall its a good product.

As someone who hardly wears makeup, I am especially wary of wearing foundation as I have very oily skin and am therefore prone to acne and acne scars. As a result, I didn't want the foundation to cause any outbreaks. I was also skeptical of the chocolate BB cream and thought it would be too dark for my skin. However, after applying it, it blended perfectly with my skin tone, although it didn't cover my acne scars. It also felt light on my skin. Sometimes I would forget that I was wearing it, scratch my face, look at my smudged fingertips and be like: "Oh yeah." I only had to retouch once during the day with powder. [I use powder to retouch so my face doesn't look like it was dipped in sunflower oil.] The product claims to reduce dark spots, but I am yet too see that as I have only been using it for about 2 weeks now. Overall, I definitely recommend it.

I really do prefer using BB Cream as a base for those day's when you just don't feel like having much makeup. For summer this is great as it does contain SPF which we ladies all want and need to protect our skin from these harmful summer rays, especially if you living in Cape Town.
I have only tried this pond's BB Cream as it's affordable and does the job.

Newest to my collection and am loving it.
This BB cream is a really lightweight formula which is perfect for those days when you want minimum make up on .
I have been using just this with concealer every now and then and it gives a gorgeous dewy finish.
Be careful not to use too much as it can leave you with yellow under tones.

I don't usually use BB Creams, this is the first one I purchased.
I'm using it in the color of Beige. I apply this to my blemishes before I apply foundation. I don't recommend applying too much as it left my skin with a yellow tone when I applied too much. I find that this really covers my blemishes and blends well with my foundation. It has an SPF of 30 and it doesn't dry out your skin or leave it feeling oily.
The tube has a volume of 25ml. Which is more than enough ( considering that you shouldn't use a lot ).
I've had this for about 7 months now and it hasn't even hit the halfway mark yet.
If you have blemish prone skin like me, I would recommend giving this a try.

This BB cream has an extreme amount of durability. It sticks to the skin so beautifully without making your skin feel like its wrapped in cling wrap, it lasts the whole day without sweating off or going cakey and it provides endless moisture! Definitely a change from other BB reams I have tried.
There is a reasonable SPF of 30 in each tube which will protect you from harmful UV rays. However, this does not give you permission to doll yourself up and attend a pool party where you lie in the sun all day. You still need to be sun-smart!
The PONDS BB cream retails for about 80 something rand for a 25ml tube. I thought this was quite affordable seeing at most other BB creams on the shelves retail for about the same price. I dug a bit further and saw that the other BB brands have 50ml tubes meaning PONDS charges the same price but gives you 50% less. Very sneaky.
Due to the higher quality, you apply a lot less product for the same effect so this price per ml thing is just being really picky but definitely something to consider when browsing for your BB cream.
This BB cream worked way better with my skin than others I have tried (namely Garnier's BB cream) and I would love to repurchase it in the future

lovely foundation for poeple that just require minimum coverage. blends in perfectly with my skin tone and what I love the most about is that it does not make my eyes water. However you do need to touch up during the day. overall a good product for people with good, uncomplicated sk

I finally got to try out the Ponds BB cream. it was not my first time trying out a BB. But i feel like they promise too much and did not necessarily deliver on all aspects. i like the BB cream. i love how it provides the extra layer to my skin and i appreciate the fact that it has a sunscreen. but i am not convinced about the coverage. maybe i did not apply enough but i am not willing to apply more that i am otherwise i will go abit darker than i am.
I would highly recommend the cream to those who are starting out in their beauty routine. it is has a beautiful texture and makes skin soft. as for coverage... i am not too sure though. i will definitely give it more time and see what it can do over time.

I've have become a BB cream junkie as of late and the Ponds BB cream is the third I've tried from various brands. I think the best way to review this BB cream is to compare it to others in my collection. This BB cream has a much lighter texture and feel than the others. Once applied it feels like my own skin and not at all like foundation. It have a semi-matte finish, perfect for oily to combination skin and can be worn without powder. The coverage is minimal and it just gives me a hint of colour. I have to do a lot more concealing with this BB cream than with others but that being said this cream makes any make up applied over it go on so smoothly and beautifully. I would probably use this product to replace my moisturiser and primer and wear a foundation over it as I prefer more coverage. I havent worn this cream long enough to judge if the product was really evening out my skin as the colour is darker than my skin tone. I really wish this BB cream came in more colours because it really is a must have.

I received my BB sample from beauty bulletin. It's been a week that I have been using it and I love it. I have a pimple problem which I thought I left behind in high school, also my skin changed from dry to oily the older I got.
What I love about the BB cream that it is light, I expected to be quite heavy because of the coverage it gives you. The coverage is light and natural give you that glow, love how the colour matches my skin exactly. . My skin is starting to look brighter, I love this product so far.
Will post again 2 weeks of use again
