Skincare Sunday: Ponds Dry Skin Cream Review

Happy Sunday, ladies and gents! How goes it?

And no, I'm actually not a body laying at the bottom of the Dead Sea... because that's actually not physically possible, I would just float because of the high salt content.. right?

I'm incredibly sorry for being MIA, I've just been.. dilly-dallying as a normal teenager does. I've got a lot of posts written up, though, so let's get to it! Getting to the first Skincare Sunday in history, today I will be reviewing the Ponds Dry Skin Cream, as mentioned in the title. 

I was first drawn to this moisturizer last winter, when the air was dry and so was my skin. I have combination skin (oily in the T-zone, dry in the cheeks), and I had bad, dry patches on my cheeks. I needed a deep moisturizer to fix those, and since I had heard a lot about the Ponds Cold Cream, I thought I could give this a try.

Ingredients

claims and directions

Packaging/Design? It's a pot with a screw-off cap, which is not exactly the most hygienic. You have to dip your fingers in and collect the product. The jar is kind of bulky as well.

Pros?
- Nice thick, creamy texture (which some may dislike)
- Moisturizes very well; leaves skin soft and supple the morning after (if used as night cream)
- Soothing, almost a cooling effect on the skin.
- This stuff lasts a longgg time
- Affordable

Cons?
- Leaves an oily residue behind
- Packaging wasn't my favorite (bulky and jar form)
- There was a distinct baby powder scent

Cost? $7.69 at Target for 10.1 oz.

Overall Rating Out of 10? 8/10

Repurchase? Most likely not.

Other Comments? To me, this could be a good cream for your body (like for dry elbows or something along those lines) or used to soothe sunburns. I only use a little amount of the cream on my cheeks (because a little truly goes a long way) because if I used it all over my face, I believe it was just make an extreme oil-slick of a mess on my forehead. All in all, it does its job

I hope you enjoyed my review, many more posts to come!

Lots of love,
