Pond's Silk Cream Review

Hello my lovelies,

How's the summer heat treating you all? We at FOMO for sure can't wait for the rains to bring in some cool breezy relief :)
Coming to today's post, it's our review of Pond's Silk Cream. Think Pond's and the first thing that comes to mind is 'Googly Woogly Woosh' :p Now before the jingle starts playing in your head as well, let's see if this cream does what it claims.


Claims :

- Light non-greasy formula
- Nourishing 24 hour moisture lock
- Contains silk extract
- Experience the latest nourishing treat from Pond's! 24 hr moisturisation + goodness of silk in a luxuriously light cream that moisturises from deep within to give you a soft & smooth skin like never before.

Packaging :

Pond's Silk Cream comes in cardboard box inside which is a simple white color tub containing the cream.


Texture and consistency : 

The cream is milky white in colour and has a rather soft texture. It is very light-weight hence glides on and gets absorbed into the skin very easily.


Fragrance :

Pond's Silk Cream has a pleasant ,signature Pond's fragrance though I found it to be a little too strong for my liking but the good thing is it subsides in sometime.


My Experience :

Honestly, I haven't used too many Pond's products in the past and more so I'm always skeptical about trying something new, specially on my face. But it was summer time and the emulsion I normally use for my face got discontinued :( so grudgingly I gave this product a try as the product claims seemed bang on for what I was looking for, a light cream to just provide adequate moisture during summers.

As mentioned earlier, the soft texture of the cream got absorbed into my skin rather easily and left my skin feeling soft, supple and hydrated. And honestly, I felt like touching my face again and again but that's not a very good habit, so should be avoided by you ladies as well :) I tested it on my hands first and then progressed to the face. A small pea-size amount worked for my entire face without making it look or feel greasy, nor did it break me out. Thank God! Adult acne is the last thing I'd want to deal with. 

Now coming to the cons, it has a long list of chemicals which I wish they'd go a bit easy on. Also the claim of 24 hour moisture lock, I'm not very sure of but since it's summers I didn't really need to keep re-applying the cream. And last but not the least, I've never been a big fan of tub packaging due to the hygiene factor. 


Pricing : 

Pond's Silk Cream is very reasonably priced. It comes in three pack sizes, 30 ml for Rs. 55, 55 ml for Rs. 99 and 100 ml. for Rs. 150. I tried the 30 ml pack size.

Pros :

- Travel friendly packaging.
- Three pack sizes
- Soft skin
- Glides on easily
- Doesn't grease the skin
- Works like a wonder for normal and dry skin
- Easily available
- Affordable

Cons :

- Contains a lot of chemicals
- Tub packaging
- Not suitable for oily skin

Final Verdict:

Pond's Silk Cream is a boon for normal and dry skinned ladies but not so much for oily skin people. You could probably try it only on the areas which usually feel dry and see if it works for you. It makes the skin extremely soft and hydrated without burning a hole in your pocket. Worth a try. 

Rating :

3.5 out of 5!
