I was blessed with a great and flawless skin that elicits envious glances and some subtle hints of baseless infatuation that borders on obsession. All that has changed when I used a wrong soap that actually burned my skin and was in fact the real culprit on why my skin’s state presently is what I can only describe as insanely unpredictable. The soap my friends is none other than Dr. Kauffman. And if you’re going to ask me the reason why I used that damn soap in the first place, well, I guess I was just crazy and sadly, my insanity caught up with me and will hunt me for the rest of my life.
Cut to the present.
I was testing/using Avon’s Anew day and night cream as my daily moisturizer before deciding to try Ponds. You see, my skin has a love-hate relationship with Ponds products. There are times that my skin will cooperate with my pitiful financial issues and will not breakout and will be pleasantly fair when I use Ponds (because Ponds products are affordable!) but since my skin is totally unpredictable, halfway through the product, my skin will turn into an oilspill inferno and a pimple wasteland that will last me months even years to get rid of with scars that will be a reminder that something horrible happened to my face. You know, I always, always get scars. My effort of not popping my annoying zits are useless because my zits grow on the same spot every time. Everydamntime.
Anyway, for some miracle, Ponds Flawless White Cream somehow passed the test of time (and I’m keeping my fingers crossed on this one!). I’ve been using this cream as a moisturizer for the past 3 months and thankfully, my skin is behaving like it should. And I know, I may seem really crazy for trying out Ponds again after experiencing the devastating breakouts, but you guys need to understand that almost all the products I use turns out to be a complete nightmare so what more can I lose for trying Ponds again right? Boy, was I right!
The first time I tried putting the cream on, I feel a little heaviness on my skin. It feels greasy although I love the lingering smell. After putting it on (pea size is enough to cover a portion of your face) it turns into a matte consistency. I was actually anticipating seeing whiteheads or blackheads to form on my skin the morning after because eventough it turned matte on my face, it still feels heavy. I feel like the cream is actually blocking my pores. Fortunately, the heavy greasy feeling disappears after a few minutes (give or take 15 minutes). So far I havent seen any white/blackheads anywhere on my face. I’m not sure though if its because the product is that compatible with my skin or if its because I’m using Sensa tea tree oil facial foam (which I will review soon!!!). But yeah, so far so good.
So that’s it. The tube costs me around P120 I guess. I am thinking of using the entire flawless white line after I finish my facial wash and toner. (Watson store near us closed so I’m leaning on a more accessible product that I can buy anytime).
Will add more to this review once I try their facial wash and toner (if ever they have one!).
That’s it for now.
Ciao!
