First of all I would like to thank the ladies at Beauty bulletin for giving me this opportunity. Not only does the Ponds flawless radiance BB cream work, it makes your skin silky soft and feels refreshed, I was a bit skeptical at first as I thought as other foundations, it would make my skin feel flaky and oily, yet again I was proven wrong, the cream does none of that, my face felt as if it was fresh and youthful. the cream is really easy to apply and I would definitely recommend this product to my friends. PONDS!! the way to go.... :)
This was my first introduction to BB creams. And I totally love the idea. Besides the fact that the shade didn't match my skin tone wasn't a train smash. I still tried it :). The fragrance is amazing and it doesn't feel all that bad on the skin. Doesn't feel harmful at all. It feels like u can feel the nourishment the product gives from the second u apply it. I loved the glowy effect it gives the skin.
It's light on the skin and again, did i mention how lovely it smells?
i've been using the pond's bb cream in chocolate for 5 days now. the cream gives light coverage which is perfect for my mostly blemish-free skin. sadly (for me) as great as it looks on and as silky as it feels, the finish does not stay natural long enough for my lifestyle. if i was the go-powder-my-nose-every-hour type of girl i would be thrilled with this product, but unfortunately i'm not that type of girl. i'm more the put-it-on-in-the-morning-and-forget-about-it-till-lunchtime type of girl. the bb cream had my face shiny long before lunch and since i'm not trying to look like an oil slick i have to continuously blot and/or apply powder to keep the finish looking natural - which is NOT ideal for my job/lifestyle. it's still great for evening wear if you're having a quiet dinner but if you're going dancing under bright lights i'd suggest using a light dusting of your favourite powder over it. all in all, great product with a good finish, just not the best for MY skin type due to the fact that my face starts showing oiliness too quickly.
This is a great product for us dark skinned sisters. I love the smoothness on the product on my skin and the fact that its not oil because I have oily skin. I love the fact that its not like a vanishing cream that leaves you looking pale and white as if you have just powdered your face. it covers my marks and I can see a difference within 3 weeks of using it! LOVE IT !!! ill definitely be buying this ponds product!
Finally….a facial cream I can call my favourite!!! All thanks to this amazing new Pond’s BB Cream…. If you’ve ever looked for a cream that could hydrate and add moisture to your skin for the whole day, while making your dark marks appear lighter with each application…almost blending in with your natural skin tone - look no further than Ponds BB Cream! Each time I apply Ponds BB Cream, it smells fresh and soothes into my skin, leaving it feeling as soft as a baby’s bottom without looking oily or greasy. Just like love-at-first-sight, this cream was soft-at-first-touch. My skin feels amazing, and everyone keeps complimenting me on my perfect skin tone. Thank you, Ponds!
This product I have had since it was released but haven’t used because I’ve used ponds before and I find it more targeted for oily skin so it is not as hydrating as I need for my dry skin. It has the same scent as the other flawless radiance products(citrus scent) I do like the fact that it has such a high SPF without making me look like a caste and the fact that it has color changing technology that adapts your skin tone. Also the benefits it offers of evening skin tone and fading dark spots is great. It gives a nice matt finish so no need for any powder.
I managed to svcore a free, reasonably sized sample of this at Dischem. It looked interesting so I scooped it up.
I am not a huge fan on Ponds since the last time I used the skin care my face broke out tremendously I was a bit sceptical to try it out.
Nevertheless, the application of the cream, beige by the way, was fair and easy because it is very smooth. I was not very impressed with the coverage; perhaps my skin coulour is too light or the cream colour is not suites to my complexion.
Anyway, I decided to leave the cream on anyway for the day just o get a feel for it and it really was not that bad.
Not something I would really consider buying or using again in the long term.
I was excited to try this product, if only to see if I was better than the Garnier BB Cream, which I truly adore.
It isnt. The coverage is minimal to none. While I understand that the coverage for BB Cream is not much, I feel that the Pond's BB Cream is more moisturiser and hardly any tint at all. My skin looked the exact same after applying the product, even if it did feel well-moisturised. Another pro is that it was not heavy or cakey on my skin.
I would not buy this again. It needs to be more tinted so that it DOES something in terms of coverage. the Garnier BB Cream remains my favourite at this point.
Let me start by saying I've been wearing this everyday for the past 10 days. Firstly I really liked the texture as is it thicker and a bit creamier than most of it's counterparts. I've been using the Chocolate coloured one and i have to say it doesn't do much as a moisturiser although you can really see the difference in tone as it evens the skin so minor imperfections are hidden.
It gives matte and medium coverage, so with my combination-to-dry skin it tightened and dried my skin terribly as it made all my blemishes visible. therefore unlike your usual greasy BB creams - this one I had to use a moisturizer to blend it in and that made huge difference. When I applied it with a moisturizer it smoothed onto my skin really well and keeps matte so no getting greasy during the day.
with this product i found that i had use a concealer for my blemishes and a moisturizer either to blend it or before applying it. But with that being said it is a good product and would work for a lot of skin types. I would recommend it to anybody although it may be a bit problematic if you have dry skin or blemishes.
POND’S Flawless Radiance BB Cream – a light, non-oily, multi-benefit cream expertly designed for African skin that combines superior skin care with a cosmetic benefit indeed.
I Have been using the BB cream for a few weeks now. initially I did not expect much from the product but as the weeks went by it changed my mind.I'm not it was 100% effective but I did see some improvement after a few days. Overall it is a fair product and it smells lovely.
I finally decided to get in on the BB cream hype (yes I know I am a bit slow sometimes ;-). Here are my thoughts:
PRO'S: 1) SPF30++ to protect from UVA and UVB rays 2) Non-clogging 3) On special at Clicks at moment at R10.00 off (normal price R69.95). 4) Convenient small tube fits into handbag 5) Smell is light and fresh
CONS: 1) Not really suitable for dry skin. Somehow my dry skin feels even dryer after application. 2) As base, the coverage is minimal (yes I know it is not really suppose to cover, but cream is extremely thin). 3) Because cream is so thin, one tends to use more, so do not think the tiny 25ml tube is going to last very long. 4) I am not crazy about how it makes my skin feel and could not see that foundation applied easier because of it. 5) From the claims about evening out skin tone, I experienced NIKS, NADA, net mooi STUFF ALL ;-).
FINAL VERDICT: I usually like Pond's products, but will definitely shop around until I find a BB or CC cream more suitable to my skin. So overall, NOT IMPRESSED.
I finally received my Ponds BB Cream: Chocolate. Lovely packaging and easy to use. The cream blends well and I would prefer to use it instead of foundation as i can feel my skin breathing when i have it on.however it does not offer much cover as promised. Though i love how it feels on my skin. its not creasy. i loved the fact that it has a SPF +30. it feels great on my skin.I will keep on using it and update you my peeps.
I really love the look of the packaging, I like the cream because it makes me look really natural and my face is not heavy with make up. The SPF 30 is what makes it a good produt to use. I think in summer i will have to use it with a powder because when i walk in the sun my skin becomes oily. i will definatly buy the product.
I have totally forgot to write my review sooner. It was a nice experience to try the BB cream since I do not really use make up. Thanks for sharing the product with me. Now, l need to buy it more. :-)
love the pink and silver packaging. Initial reaction upon seeing the chocolate cream was: ''this is too dark for me!'' And then I checked the insert to see if it was foundation. Rubbed it into my skin and it blended well. I expected to see tide lines but there were none. It has that typical Ponds smell. And as with other Ponds products I've used it always feels as if I didn't put enough on so I then reapply more- it's that fast- absorbing! The 'glow' was there and the silky feeling- I kept stroking my cheek. It is day 5 of using this product and I don't see any difference in my blemishes but we'll see in another few days.
Pond's BB Cream promises an even-tone, flawless radiance with natural coverage. I saw and loved the radiance it promises, but was greatly disappointed with the coverage. Unfortunately,due to the lack of coverage, I will not be repurchasing it.
This is a glorified tinted moisturizer Having tried the sample for a few days this is how it went. On the first day I had probably put on too little, I did not see a difference in my skin tone. The next few application days I tried to use more of the product so I can see if there is a difference. The cream is nice and smooth, great packaging. I feel like the cream does not provide enough coverage but my skin does feel hydrated. The only difference I can see is that my face does not dry out as fast during the day. I use the cream with my normal facial moisturiser. I wish they could take the colour of the dark Garnier bb, make it slightly lighter and use the ponds texture. That would be perfect! It good for a summer day out and for those who want minimal fuss with make-up.
I got a sample sachet of Pond's BB Cream, I tried it for the first time this morning, I think it was a bit too light so I blended it with my normal foundation, I'm pretty impressed with the results, it really left my skin flawless as I can still see my blemishes peak through when I use my normal foundation on its own, i like the way my skin feels and it dries quickly, unlike when I use my normal foundation on it's own, I will definately go out and purchase it, the correct shade for my skin tone. Beautiful product :)
I recieved my Pond's BB cream and immediately loved the packaging. It has lovely shiny and elegant packaging. I know if I had bought it myself, I would have been crying about the size, but I do admit that it is great for placing in the little make-up bag fo re-application later; Because re-apply you do.
Firstly, it is a lovely moisturiser and made my skin feel great, espescially since I have such a dry skin. I did not worry about the feeling all day.
Secondly, the product's coverage is minimal to none. I had to use powder to keep matte for the rest of the day. Once I had powder on, I found that there was much need for reapplication. I would not advise this for anyone with oily skin.
Unfortunately though, after some days my skin did not agree with the cream. I naturally have a sensitive skn and my eczema stated to show up, and so I had to stop. This is true for most of the Pond's products I have used in the past. I could not use any thing for a prolonged period so I never really see the effect of Pond's products.
I really wanted to like this one, but it doesnt deliver enough for me to go back, so I am more disappointed than thrilled.
So off I went rushing to try out the new BB cream by Ponds after all the hype of its release. What with BB creams being hailed as the new miracle creams so popular in the East, I was extremely excited to have one that's home bound. I must say very disappointed with the product. Only comes in two shades beige and chocolate. While the beige was not an option for my skin tone, the chocolate did nothing for my skin. It looked like I had a heavy sunscreen on. So no, sorry not for me. Perhaps, if Ponds couild look into extending the colour range?
I was quite disappointed with this product...the packaging is so attractive in pinkand silver and it smells great BUT when I put it on it made my skin way too matte and kinda looked chalky. I ddnt see any difference in my skin after 7 days. I think this BB cream will be great for those with very oily skin who want that matte finish.
I hated this. So much. Which makes me sad because I was SO excited to try it. So first, here are my stats: I have a fair skin, not really pale, but not tan. I have a bit of a yellow undertone. So I tried the Beige shade of Pond's BB cream, and while it was nice and creamy, it left me looking like a Jerseylicious girl. It looked like I had dipped my face in self-tanner or something. It was just SO orange, I couldn't bear it. Had to wash it off immediately. It's a pity that there isn't a wider variety of shades to choose from. I could have loved it.
