Pond's Cold Cream
Editor's Rating & Review
This was supposed to be a family secret, but I have to share: My mother, whose skin looks a decade younger than she is, swears by daily use of this thick, greasy cream. When I was a teen, the mineral-oil base made my acne-prone skin too shiny. Now I use it to remove stubborn makeup and give occasional moisture-rich facials. Its strong, lingering scent is a potential man-bugger. Oily skin types may find it too heavy.

I want to like it, but I'm not sure it's the right product for me.

I use Pond's Cold Cream strictly as an eye makeup remover. I dab a glob onto my eyelashes and massage it in, making sure the lashes are generously coated. I wipe my hands, brush my teeth, and then use some cotton pads to wipe off the cold cream. I then cleanse my entire face really well with Clinique Foaming Cleanser (which is really good at getting most of the cold cream residue off), and then cleanse again with Cetaphil. I probably didn't get breakouts like other reviewers, because of the two cleansers I used afterwards. PROS: Cheap. Smells nice. When using the method above, did a good job of removing eye makeup. Didn't burn my eyes (because of Accutane, my eyes were really really sensitive for awhile, and stung after using makeup removers). CONS: The little jar is difficult to get into. I have to be really careful to remove it with my other cleansers afterwards (although I always use two cleansers, to make sure I get off all of my foundation and primer!) I think I'm going to try to find a better eye makeup remover. — 2 years, 4 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 1 people said helpful

I use this to remove stubborn make up only! I can't get this all over my face or it will turn me into an oil slick. My mother used this on me when I was younger and got into her make up collection lol — 1 year, 1 month agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 1 people said helpful

Nightmare
leo1999 (543 reviews)
I thought I'd try this because it was cheap and easy to get at the drug store. I was so wrong to put it on my face! The fragrance and the mineral oils must have caused the reaction. My face broke out and swelled and my eyes swelled so they were practically shut. It was an absolute nightmare! If you have sensitive skin, it's best to stick with Aveeno and Clinique and pay the few bucks more. It took roughly four days to feel like I could even touch my raw skin again. — 2 years, 5 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 3 of 4 people said helpful
