I have been using this product faithfully for almost two years, and i think i took this product for granted. But after a one-day stray to Oil of Olay's Moisture Therapy lotion that resulted in several big pimples and clogged pores, i knew that my skin had this harmonious relationship with Ponds that no other moisturizer could tear apart. Only after that disastrous stray have I learned to appreciate everything this moisturizer has to offer. Silky soft, hydrated skin that looks perfect and radiant after a night's rest. Doesn't contribute to acne, and it doesn't clog pores. What I am mostly amazed at is the fact that this product is so rich and emollient, and yet it still remains oil-free; exactly what my skin wants in a moisturizer. Cheap pricetag too... only $6 CDN! Perfect product that has contributed to perfect skin. I'm just ashamed it took this long for me to appreciate it for everything that it's worth. I will never stray again... my skin will never forgive me if i do!

My favorite overnight lotion. I like the light floral smell, it's never broken me out and it absorbs instantly. I have acne prone combination skin, this gets rid of any dry patches and never makes me oily. I also love the Ponds Replenishing lotion for daytime. I wish they would make one with SPF.

This product doesn't do anything it claims to do AT ALL, in fact, it made my skin greasier!! The cream never sinks into my skin and I ended up having to wash it off my face because the greasiness was bothering me. I definitely won't buy this product again!!

This product is great underneath my make-up in the summertime. This would be too light in the winter time for my combo skin- in the winter I need a day & night time moisturizer with oil in it; Pond's Dry Skin Cream works great for me in the winter. I also have sensitive skin and this hasn't broke me out. I also love the lotion version of this- it is great under your foundation when you are going out in the sun all day. I have LOVED ALL Pond's products so far- I went to these AWESOME POND'S PRODUCTS when I tried Lancome, Chanel, EL, CDLM and I didn't like the results
Says on back of package: to use -"If your moisturizer doesn't prevent your skin from feeling dry & tight throughout the day." If you have normal or oily skin please don't use! Reading the packages is always helpful!

This might be oil-free, but it's not problem-free for me. The Cream is breaking me out, and I think the culprit is the stearic acid. This is a fatty acid used in cosmetics as an emoillient and thickener. Some skins don't react to it, but mine seems to. The Replenishing Moisturizer Cream's top three ingredients are water, glycerin, stearic acid; the Lotion's top four are water, glycerin, cetearyl alcohol, stearic acid. It's too bad, because otherwise this is a lovely cream--gives my skin a glow without being heavy. (I have normal, sensitive skin prone to product-related dryness and breakouts, for reference.) The fragrance is unappealing, similar to a drugstore hand lotion, but I was getting used to it. Couldn't be cheaper; I got mine for under $5 on sale. I'm giving it a 3 for its positive effecs.

I love this stuff! I have used the Replenishing Moisturizer lotion for about 1-2 months now, and I can honestly say it's the best moisturizer I've ever used. I'm a self-proclaimed product junkie, and I used to buy a new moisturizer every few months because I was so dissatisfied with the ones I had. I use this every morning and night in conjunction with L'oreal Visibly Clean Foaming Gel Cleanser, and my previously acne-prone, combo skin has now cleared up, and my skin has a glow to it that it's never had before. This lotion is also a great makeup base--my makeup lasts all day and stays smooth and even. I can't say enough good things about this--go out and buy it now!!

I used this because Cetaphil cream was making me break out horribly and I'm so glad I made the switch. The Pond's cream is non-greasy but just emolient enough to get rid of dry, flaky, winter skin. It seems to absorb quickly and doesn't seem to leave a greasy film on my face. It's also a great texture under makeup, except it doesn't have any sun protection. The only thing I would change about this product is the packaging, because the little pot of cream doesn't seem too sanitary.

Overall, I am very pleased with this product and will definitely be purchasing again.

Had run out of my Oil of Olay moisturizer so started using the Ponds Moisture Replenishing Lotion that I had bought a while ago but hadn't used up completely...and I think, I'm liking the feel of this one better than Olay. It makes my hands and face feel softer and is non greasy and I just love the smell. I'll probably switch back to Ponds and buy their cold cream as well!

I love this product. I use it at night before bed and in the morning. The fragrance is very light and disappears soon. I would heartily recommend this product.

This is my new HG moisturizer! Most moisturizers that I use tend to be way too heavy, or leave my dry skin feeling flakey in minutes. But this one is great, perfect even! It's oil free as well!

I love this! It makes my face sooooooo soft! I preffer this over Estee Lauder Face and Throat Creme!
some people said this had a bad fragrance, but you can barely smell a thing, and what you can smell isn't gross!

I love products that feel "old-fashioned," and let's be honest, Ponds has an "old" feeling to it. But, that's what I like! This is a very nice basic moisturizer for combo to dry skin. It smells nice and soapy, and the scent faded quickly on me. I didn't give it a 5 because it didn't smooth out a few of my drier patches on my cheeks, and I used quite a bit. It was $6.49, kinda expensive for a drugstore moisturizer.

Lovely! I use this at night, and neutrogen oil-free spf 15 mopisture in the mornings. I have a combo skin, that gets shiny at the T-zone during the day, and if I streess out or stay up too late, yes, I wake up with nasty syrprises. This cream is fantastic, because it moisturizes very well, but since i began using it, I haven't woken up with any more nasty surprises (bumps and pimples). Cheap and effective, I'm on my 3rd jar now. The scent is a bit floral, but I got used to it.
Skin feels very comfortable after using it. Great!

this cream may not have a greasy feel to it, but it still has a strange texture. it leaves my skin feeling sort of - squeaky. i also didn't like the scent, and it gave me a slight rash.

The cream's scent is overpowering and produced a slight burning sensation on my extremely dry cheeks. However, it moisturized my oily T-zone well and did not cause any breakouts. Overall, I do not recommend for sensitive skin.

I can't even begin to count how many jars of this cream I've been through, but I've been using it since I was 18. Love everything about it: Light texture, nongreasy feel, good moisturizing ability, doesn't cause breakouts, reasonable price, smells good (even after nearly 10 years). My HG cream.

I took off a point because I would prefer a pump bottle in place of a squeeze bottle... anyhoo...

This is a very good moisturizer, absorbs quickly & has yet to break me out (using for 4 weeks) However, if youre sensitive to scent- this may bug you out- it's heavily scented, otherwise it's a keeper.

This is the best moisturizer I've tried in a long time. It is very light and easily absorbed. I am terribly breakout-prone and I have had no problems with this cream. It adds the perfect amound of moisture without being heavy or greasy. My only wish is that Ponds would put this in a pump container because the mouth of this jar is tiny and leaves way for contamination. Beyond that, I couldn't recommend it more highly.
