Pond’s White Beauty Daily Spot-less 1 lightening facial foam- Review


After my Pond’s daily face wash- active cleansing system- Review, I naturally had to review the Pond’s White Beauty Daily Spot-less 1 lightening facial foam too, since after that the comparison between the two will be simpler and all my beautiful readers will have a clearer version on which product to pick and choose. 

Pond’s daily face wash- active cleansing system is my HG face wash as I mentioned before, and I find it really unbelievable that its sibling product did not live as much to the expectations as Pond’s daily face wash- active cleansing system did. 


Price and quantity: 60 INR (Around 1.5 USD) for 50 g


Product claim: Daily Spot-less 1 lightening facial foam cleanses deeply for glowing and brighter skin.

This gentle foam deeply cleanses and brightens skin, transforming your complexion to a radiant, look you’ve always wanted. The foam’s unique formula reduces dullness and brightens skin, while washing away old and weary, sallow skin cells. Skin feels soft, smooth and sparkling clean.


About the product:
The Pond’s White Beauty Daily Spot-less 1 lightening facial foam, is a sibling product of the Pond’s daily face wash- active cleansing system. The latter is way better than this one. Nevertheless the product lives up a bit to its claims and the consumer’s expectation.  It is apt for combination skin type and oilies. Dry skinned people MUST skip this. The texture of the foam reminds me of the good-old fair and lovely cream. 




Packaging:
Comes in a decently pink flip cap tube which ensures non messy disposing of the foam.



Ingredients: myristic acid, glycerin,water, propylene glycol, potassium hydroxide, palmitic acid & stearic acid, lauric acid, glycol distearate, decyl glucoside,glyceryl stearate polyquaternium-7, niacinamide, DMDM hydatoin & iodopropynyl butylcarbamate, perfume, disodium edta.


How to use it: Wet your face. Apply to face and neck and gently massage. Rinse off.

They have mentioned in a pink box: “Use along with Pond’s white beauty. Daily spot-less1 lightening cream with pro-vitamin B3” (nice marketing strategy)


Why I like Pond’s White Beauty Daily Spot-less 1 lightening facial foam:


• Affordable
• Easily available
• The soothing fragrance it has.
• Gives me a clean face after washing.
• Deep cleans, I use it for washing my face when I come back home from a dusty polluted day. 
• This might be a surprise, or may be it has happened only to me, I had some tiny mini pimple marks on my left cheek, and they have seemingly lightened. 
• Good for combination skinned people like me; this doesn’t really suck up all the moisture on my face whereas it can cause breakouts to the dry skinned people.


What I do not like about the Pond’s White Beauty Daily Spot-less 1 lightening facial foam:

• Not meant for dry skin. My friend used this, she is a horrid dry skinned monster :P. She had breakout, I even heard my fellow bloggers complaining the same.
• Sticks to the skin, you really have to rub it off to get rid of the foam.





Re-purchase/ recommend:
I won’t really re-purchase it and recommend it to combination or oily skinned people.  It’s a skip for the dry skinned people. 

Pond’s daily face wash- active cleansing system- Review

Hello Beauties,

I am back, was in an anniversary hangover all these days. :P

Today I am reviewing the Pond’s daily face wash- active cleansing system .

To start of with I have been using it for like 2 months now, and I am in love with it. I know its been like 2 months and I should have reviewed it earlier but then, I belive in testing and trying the product thoroughly before give an opinion about it.

Here’s why I love it. 




Product claim:

The first step in facial care for soft, smooth skin. For clean and soft skin that glows. Suitable for normal, dry, oily and combination skin types.
• Thoroughly cleanses skin without leaving slippery feeling on skin.
• Cleans skin. 100% soap free formula with rich lather penetrates and removes deep rooted dirt, leaving your skin cleaner and smoother.
• Gentle on skin. Active Cleansing System cleans gently and cares for your skin better than soap.






Price and quantity: 65 INR around 1.5 USD for 100 g


About the product:

Pond’s as a brand is trusted by the world for its dependable and effective products. This product is no different.

Pond’s daily face wash- active cleansing system is a daily face wash. It has a refreshing fragrance (I love the fragrance). 

The face wash is very gently and appears milky white gel-like (I couldn’t describe it better). 

A tiny bit of the product does its job greatly. 



Packaging:

The packaging of the product is refreshingly fresh looking (You see the light green lid and the design; I resemble it to something fresh and cool). 

The tube has a flip lid which ensures non messy discharge of the product. 




Ingredients:

Water, sodium, laureth sulfate, glycerin, cocamidropropyl betaine, cocamide MEA, perfume, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, titanium dioxide, methyl paraben, dimethiconol & TEA dodecylbenzenesulfonate,DMDM hydantoin, tocopheryl acetate, propyl paraben, guar hydroxypropyltrimonium chloride,BHT, tetrasodium EDTA, glycol distearate



How to use it (Packaging):

Splash water on the face and apply face wash on the face and neck. Rinse off. Pat dry. If face wash gets into your eyes, rinse well with water.


My version of using it: Use it as you use your other normal face washes. :P


Why I like the Pond’s daily face wash- active cleansing system:

• Easy on pocket.
• Available easily.
• Smells awesome.
• Suits all skin types. I say this because I and my mom have been using it, Mom has an oily skin and I have a combination skin (Sometimes acne prone). This product did not break me out, and neither did make my Mom’s skin oily or excessively dry. 
• It’s not drying.  Even for my combination skin. 
• After washing my face I can feel it is actually clean, I mean you get a clean clean feeling. 
• It’s soap free. 
• I “had to” apply moisturizer after baths and washing face, but with this face wash, I need not do it since it had Vitamin E and glycerin, which keep the face moisturized.
• I can see my face glow and can also feel how soft and supple it leaves my skin. One more thing it doesn't really stick to your skin, gets off easily leaving your skin clean. :)
• Apt for daily normal regular daily use. :P
• Easy to carry around. 

Why I don’t like the Pond’s daily face wash- active cleansing system:

This is the only con of the product.

• Contains parabens. 



Re-purchase and recommendation:

Definitely yes, as you can see I already have a back up for the product.  It’s my HG face wash now. And I would recommend it to all the ladies who are in a look out for a good effective face wash.


Rating:
4/5 ( -1 for parabens)

Hope this review helps all you beauties in picking the right product. 
