Hello
I have heard really good things about Ponds Cold Cream but I just wondered if people have used it?
1) What is it?
2) How does one use it?
3) What does it do? Is it any good?
3) Where can you get it in NZ?
Would really appreciate any info :)
Thank you!!

Ponds Cold Cream

I remember Pond's cold cream using it when we were making clay flowers for a bouquet arrangement. We used it to keep the pigments easy to wash off our hands when we added when we would massage the pigments into the clay. It did feel nice and light the cream. But this was before I was wearing much makeup if any and I used a eye remover not cold cream to remove it. I do wonder what happened to the brand as I haven't seen it in years.
I only just found this post but I adore ponds cold cream and unfortunately yes it is discontinued in NZ. Ocassionally I have found it in smaller size jars at local food importer emporiums (Indian spice markets often carry the olay white radiance line of skincare products which is also really nice) I have imported it from the US a couple of times but it works out relatively time consuming and expensive waiting for it to arrive. It was pulled here about a decade ago and rebranded under the Dove 'essential nutrients line' the exact same formula but in a new jar except this too has been phased out and I haven't seen it for a couple of years. In my quest to replace it I have tried the indie brand 'Queenie mays' which is a more natural version and Home Essentials 'Cigalia cold cream' - both are good but not quite the same (Queenie mays is hard to get as well and a bit more pricey, Cigalia isn't the best for removing mascara). I am addicted to nostalgic rose scented products, I live on Nivea cream and am a lifelong fan of Olay beauty fluid also (despite hating how many chemicals it contains), and cold cream seems to be the best thing for my skin and I never have any dry patches, spots or blemishes while using it. I even knit my own super soft face washers to remove it. I also swear by rosewater. I think I was born into the wrong era! Such a shame as I and I know many other ladies would continue to buy the product if it were available and it really was a supermarket staple for many years!
I started using Ponds when I was 14 yrs old, I'm now in my early 50's, so have used this product a while, lol. My daily routine is the cold cream, wipe off with a warm face cloth, use St Ives Apricot Scrub and finish with the moisturiser. As I suffer from sinuses and have very sensitive skin, have never once had any issues from this product and people always comment about how great my skin is! Have taught all my grand daughters the 'Ponds' routine and no break outs! Love Ponds, I Iive in Brisbane so can still buy Ponds here but am alarmed that this is not in NZ anymore :-(
