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.
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 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.
I found the tube smaller than what i expected but the product consistanty was great and easy to apply on the run. Feels very dewy so can be set be with finishing powder and plush for a a more polished look.
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.
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!
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 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.
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 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.
So, if you are looking for an extra gentle all-in-one even tone expert that won't break your budget, this is certainly worth a try!
Million Thanks to Beauty Bulletin and Pond’s Team for giving me an opportunity to review the Pond’s flawless radiance BB Cream, I really appreciate it! :)
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 must really say I'm fallin in luv wit BB jst dnt tell hubby. since I've bn using I'm impressed. It blends in pretty well n quick. Wish I had taken th b4 n after pics. My hubby cnt stop raving bout hw my skin is no longer shiny bt glowin. U'd swear I'm preg lol
This is the 2nd week am still using the PONDS BB Cream every morning. Most of my dark marks have faded and am loving the feeling I get when I apply the cream,the softness, smoothness,the texture, the colour all are perfect for my skin. 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!!!!
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.
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!
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 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 started using Ponds BB 2 days ago, following my daily routine, cleansing , toning and applying ponds BB,. My skin looks polished and it covers the blemishes. Day 2 so far so good........
I love the BB cream,i really do not like foundations,so this cream is the best for me.It makes my skin feel mousturised and fresh while covering the dark spots.My skin has been looking a lot youthful in the 8 days i have been using it.I also do not like products with strong smells,the BB cream smells wonderful,i love the smell.It lasts longer on my skin,so i do not have to keep applying.With this BB cream i am covered the whole day.It is really an All-in-One Cream
Its my first time to use a BB cream and my Ponds BB Cream couldnt have come at a better time as i have been expiriencing lots of breakouts on my face. I have been using it for 2weeks now and i must say teh results are amazing! it blends well with my skin, isnt messy like foundation and my spots are disappearing day by day! Im nt happy with the price though, R89 for 25ml! Ouch!
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.... :)
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.
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 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.
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.
This product is absolutely amazing. I started using it on the 11th of May and today being the 16th of May I can tell there is a lot of difference, my dark marks are slowly fading away and am satisfied, my skin is so smooth and feels fresh all day. Great product it is!
the cream is great for our skin tone it really blends in. and with a bit of powder you are ready to go. no need for any heavy makeup. it works wonders. I recommend it.
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!
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
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 haven't tried out as yet but my teenager daughter of 16 uses it and she looks gorgeous and recommended all her friends to use it.I cannot wait to try Pond's BB cream.
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.
Love the new BB cream, love the luminous glow it gives to my skin. It has great coverage and does not make my hands dirty i.e no muddy residue. It has a great smell and wonderful texture.Its absorbed fast and does not leave me with an oily face. Love it!
