Pond's White Beauty All-In-One BB+ Fairness Cream Review

Hey ya ya ladies! Today I am going to review yet another BB cream on B.B.B :P. 

Pond's White Beauty All-In-One BB+ Fairness Cream is the new kid on the BB block and here is what I think of it.

PRICE:  ₹ 69

QUANTITY: 9g

INGREDIENTS:

WHAT IT CLAIMS: With the Pond’s Institute’s dual-acting sophisticated skin lightening GenWhite™ Cover Formula and SPF 30 PA++ advanced sunscreen protection, Pond’s white beauty™ BB+ fairness cream not only improves skin texture and effectively lightens skin from within but also provides natural looking instant glow for Indian skin.    Clinically proven to lighten skin tone and reduce dark spots, GenWhite™ Formula is enriched with a powerful mix of Vitamin B3, Vitamin E, Allantoin and advanced superior sunscreen protection. 
 

• Instant natural coverage     
• Non-pores clogging     
• Light, non-oily texture     
• Lightens from within epidermis level     
• Reduces dark spots     
• Evens skin tone SPF 30 PA++ protects from UVA, UVB and visible light.

MY EXPERIENCE: After the sad demise of Pond's TM and the onslaught of BB creams by every other brand, it became quite tough to choose one over the other. But Pond's once again made it to the top of my BB cream list with this new launch. Pond's White Beauty All-In-One BB+ Fairness Cream comes in a pretty pink-white tube with a tiny nozzle. It has got a nice subtle fragrance. Only a little amount (like in the pic below) is required to cover my face. I apply it after a moisturiser and this gives a semi matte effect when topped over it, on my dry skin. The shade suits me well and gives a nice glow and evens out the darkness underneath my eyes without giving a white cast. It stays put for quite a few hours and doesn't melt off easily like other BB creams, unless you are out in the sun for hours. 

Used flash, hence it looks a bit whitish

It doesn't provide much coverage (and I don't expect that too, since I use only a tiny dollop of it).  And neither did I see any reduction in dark spots or permanent whitening of skin (which b-t-w is an absurd claim). Since it comes in small tubes, one can just try it out without burning a hole in the pocket.

WHAT I LIKED:

• Brightens and evens out skin tone.
• Gives a semi matte effect when topped on my regular moisturiser.
• A pea-sized amount is enough to cover my face and neck.
• Doesn't give a white cast like most other BB creams. Blends well with skintone.
• Has SPF 30 (though I doubt the pea size amount would be able to give effective sunscreen coverage).
• Lasts for quite a few hours without melting.
• Didn't irritate my skin.   
• Comes in a travel friendly tube.
• Economical and affordable.

WHAT I DIDN’T LIKE:

• Comes in one shade.
• Don't expect much coverage.

VERDICT: Out of all the BB creams I have tried so far, this one suited me the best. I like the semi matte effect it gives and how it evens out my skin tone. A must try for sure!

RATINGS:  4.5 out of 5
