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

Pond's Age Miracle Cell Regen Day Cream SPF 15 PA++ Review

I can't emphasise enough how anti-ageing products are important for our skin esp. if you are in mid 20s and above, start on your anti-ageing regime before your skin shows signs of ageing. 

Today I am reviewing the Pond's Age Miracle Cell Regen Day Cream SPF 15 PA++. Read on to know how this made my skin happy.

PRICE:  Rs. 449

QUANTITY: 50g

INGREDIENTS:

WHAT IT CLAIMS: 
It works deep within your skin helping it act younger and giving it 3X more renewal power# while protecting against age-accelerating UVA/UVB rays. It visibly reduces fine lines, wrinkles and age spots. Pond’s age miracle delivers the following results: 

 - Fights against fine lines and wrinkles - Visibly reduced appearance of age spots
 - Protection against the UVA/UVB rays
 - Deeply moisturised skin to preserve its youth

MY EXPERIENCE: Pond's Age Miracle Cell Regen Day Cream comes in a classy outer packaging but sadly it is of no use after you take out the tub. The glass jar/tub is a little heavy. I don't understand why Pond's invests on packaging so much. Even though they look so gorgeous, they are hardly of any use later. Back to the point, this cream did miracles for my skin. Yes! :D It did make my skin look better in more than one way. It worked on the acne marks and reduced them considerably to the point of invisibility ;). Those little laugh lines were less noticeable. And IT DIDN'T BREAK ME OUT!!! I enjoyed flawless skin for 2 months since I started using it.

The cream is thick in texture and moisturises skin well but I feel it doesn't do much on the hydrating part. Only a little amount is required for each application so one tub lasts quite long. It has got the typical Pond's cream smell that doesn't bother my nose much. On to the not so good part, it gives a whitish cast for initial 1-2 minutes but then it sinks into skin leaving a glow (which might "look" like bit oily in summers) on face. I totally love the effect. Other than that I don't find anything wrong with this one.

WHAT I LIKED:

• Works on acne spots and reduces them considerably.
• Controlled breakouts on my sensitive skin.
• Laugh lines visibly reduced. Don't have wrinkles, so can't comment on that.
• Skin does look younger and all glowy and radiant.
• One tub lasts two months easily even on daily usage.   
• Classy packaging. 
• Has SPF 15 PA+++ 

WHAT I DIDN’T LIKE:

• Gives a whitish cast initially on application.
• Might feel a little heavy in summer and won't suit oily skin in this season.
• Not a con, but I would like to suggest Pond's to invest less on fancy packaging and make it more pocket friendly maybe.
  

VERDICT:
I loved this one so much that I ordered the serum from this range next to try out in this summer. (But that's a whole different story and my skin is back to its dark days :( Would review that soon!) But gals esp. with dry skin, do check out this one if you want to start with your anti-ageing regime and looking for good products. This one is definitely worth a try! :)
