As promised, I'm back with Pond's New Complete Solution review. Sorry if it does take a long time because I'd prepared something unusual.
POND'S Complete Solution 101 in Stop Motion
I spent a week to prepare all the properties and create the video :') I know it's not perfect but I really enjoyed the process because it's been a long time since I made a stop motion video for my college's assignments years ago. Moreover, they bring such a really nice concept and I was inspired to bring it in this video.
Okay, let's find out more about this new range :)
You might have noticed from the video above or from my previous post, Ponds bring three simple steps to keep our face clean without acne and oily skin problem. The three simple steps are CLEANSE, COMBAT, and COVER.
1. CLEANSE
I think this is a very basic and simple rule in all skincare methods. Good skin come from a great cleansing. A simple truth from me. Sometimes I forget to wash my face and go straight to bed. The next day, I will wake up with new and fresh acne or pimple. So I'd learned not to skip the cleansing process no matter how tired I am now :)
POND'S Facial Foam
Price : Rp 23.000,- (100 gr), Rp 13.200 (50 gr)
This new multi-action facial foam contains the combination of herbal clay, scrub, salicylic acid, and skin brightening essence.
- Herbal clay helps to remove any excess oil.
- Salicylic acid as one of the key ingredients in skincare products especially for treating acne.
- Gentle Scrub Beads helps to remove dead skin cells
- Skin Brightening Essence helps to reduce dullnes and achieve a brighter complexion.
So, this facial foam could help reducing acne and brighten your skin in the same time. :D
The scrub is really gentle and almost unnoticeable. It will dissolved immediately after you pour it with water, so don't worry about the scrubs as it will not irritate your skin :)
After usage, it left my skin a nice clean and matte feeling. The best part is my T-Zone is not as oily as usual. Less oily means less acne (for me). So I think the oil control does really work :9 Recommend if you're having problem with excessive oil in your face like mine.
POND'S Clear Solution Oil Control Cleansing Wipes
Price
Rp 12.900,- (7 sheets)
Rp 27.900,- (25 sheets)
It is damp enough when I take it out from the pack. I prefer damp cleansing wipes than the dry one because I feel that it could cleanse better. The formula is really light and doesn't left any greasy feeling after usage. I love it ^_^ .
Let's see how good it is on removing makeup
It could remove my bb cream and lip products but my eyeliner is still there. Not budged at all. I rub the eyeliner many times before it had finally gone. I guess it isn't meant to remove 'hardcore' makeup and more suitable for daily use. For example, there could be no way you will stay gorgeous if you're going on public transportation in Jakarta, stuck in terrible traffic, exposed to dirts, pollution, and sweat. So you need this to re-fresh the whole face xD #truestory
Dr. Eddy told us, using oil control film could clog your pores which may lead to acne in the future. x_X I was shocked because when my face is getting oily, I will surely take out my oil control film without knowing that I'd packed more dirts into my pores. So it is better to wipe your face clean with cleansing face wipes.
Cleansing wipes is one of my must-have-items in my bag now. I spent most of my time outside and of course I couldn't bring facial foam right? So it's really handy to have them in my bag. If I have to go home late and I need to wash my face, I could simply use them. That's why I always keep a pack of wet wipes and facial wipes in my bag. Just in case of emergency. :P
Although you'd wiped your face clean with the cleansing wipes, but I still encourage you to wash your face properly with facial foam right after you get home :)
2. COMBAT
POND'S Overnight Pimple Gel
Price : Rp 22.900,-
The packaging was made from plastic bottle with a securing cap.
Another safety lock by twisting the pump before you press it.
Green gel!
This pimple gel contains aloe vera and salicylic acid.
Aloe vera is known as a great ingredients to remove excess oil and soothe skin. And yes, it has a nice soothing-cool sensation when applied. It is used to calm down reduce acne, redness, etc. Judging from the gel's name, it is recommended to use it before your bed time as it is the perfect time when your skin regenerate and recover itself. I used it twice on a new acne and it's gone before popping out. :D
REMEMBER to use it properly only on the problematic area (such as on your acne or pimple). And please DO NOT apply it on the entire face since it won't help to heal your acne or pimple faster either. Just dot the gel with your finger or use a cotton bud. :)
3. COVER
I bet most of us experienced that acne somehow will appear magically right before our important event. That's how do I feel. :/ I have no acne for the whole month and right before my birthday, a big acne come out. #flip table
That's the reason why we need a concealer. We could have more confidence in our precious moment such as date, birthday, anniversary, prom, party, you named it. :9
POND'S Pimple Cover and Care Concealer Pen
I was super excited when I know POND'S have a concealer now. :D
Price : Rp 24.900,-
Mad cheap!
They had one shade at the moment and it match into most of our skintone (Asian woman). If it doesn't match with your skintone, you can always layer a BB cream afterwards. I was told that they might bring more colors in the future too. :D
It has medium coverage, glides easily, and handy as it comes in stick. It has a really creamy texture and can be easily blended by finger. Moreover, this concealer is formulated to cover your acne and take care of it at the same time. Great products!
I really LOVE this concealer!
It's really affordable and works well at the same time. I use it to cover my acne scars and redness now. :3 I don't know how it could be that creamy and glides beautifully although it come in stick. Most of concealer stick that I'd tried were dry and hard to blend. This is my favourite products from the whole range <3 Seriously, you should try it out :D
Another thing that I need to survive at 'school' from PONDS
Overall, I could only say that this new range is a big hit for those who are having problem with oily skin and acne. Somehow I kinda feel that it is specially invented for the teenagers. xD I remember how pricey a skincare set cost me back then. It's really hard for me to find a skincare that suitable for teenagers. But now you can easily find them on the nearest store or supermarket.
