CherryRed said:Yes, Ponds replaces your regular soap or cleanser. I use Oil of Olay moisturizer in the day, and Olay night cream at night.
Miss Neecerie said:Ponds has a lighter version of a creme, which you might use in the shower and alternate with the regular cold creme...

Miss Dottie said:OK--so you are telling me that you all use cold cream in place of a facial cleanser/soap? And then do you put on moisturizer--like and SPF or something afterwards?
I'm just fascinated and very willing to try this. I've only used cold cream to get off stage make up in the past.
This is a fascinating thread and I'd love to try it for getting rid of blackheads too.
You lounge ladies are the best!

In many of my WWII-dated women's magazines, the ads for Pond's recommend this as a "One Minute Mask." Then I rinse it with a warm washcloth and apply witch hazel toner on a cotton pad to remove any excess greasiness. My skin is producing much less oil than it was before and I only have to use a tiny amount of moisturizer if any.
VanillaT said:Yeah, I have heard somewhere before that the only thing that can disolve oil is OIL, so I guess that might explain why it could dissolve the hard oil plugs that blackheads are...
I swear by Ponds. My mom and Granny have been using it forever,, they both swear by it. It is a great make-up remover. I also use the ponds cleansing pads, soft little pads that have a cleanser built in. Just add water, and they are very gentle on the skin and great make-up remover. Dove makes a very gentle face cleanser pad like this too that works very well.Paisley said:The Pond's cold cream is also a good eye makeup remover. Why is it cold cream? It feels warm on my skin.
I use Queen Helene mint julep mask, too. For an exfoliant, I use Jason's tea tree oil liquid soap and a bit of corn meal with some water. Refreshing!
Problem is, I'm in the States. The shipping alone would probably break the bank! Does Boots no longer sell their own cold cream, or just not online? Is the jar you have in that old-timy looking tin someone posted a picture of?~landgirl~ said:I have an unused jar of boots cold cream if anyone wants it?
