Wow! I put some about three says ago, and my skin is still moisurized. I like the smell. It has that smell of the lotions that your grandma buys, but I still like it. I put it on for one night and the next morning my skin was super smooth and soft.

whenever i don't like a new mosturizer i always bounce back on this one. it comes in a cute little jar and makes my skin hydrated and silky smooth! also gives a nice radiant glow. i think ill just stick with this one for now!

This is too heavy for me as a facial moisturizer, but for everywhere else it is great! I do use it on my face if I get a flaky dry patch since this clears it right up, but I mostly love using this on my feet and legs, especially after a shower. And because I'm a huge dork there is something so rich feeling about the container when using it for body.. until I can afford a real expensive body cream I will use this and enjoy! Update: Ok so I think I used it twice on my legs and then threw it in a drawer.

whenever i come home from school, this is the only dry skin cream my mother has around.. so i have to use it. it leaves my face feeling really greasy afterwards, not so much mosturized. but, my mom swears by this stuff &i can't get her to try anything else. i wouldn't buy this product for myself - it just feels too greasy.

The first time I use this was because I had a bad experience with an acne product. I used it to help my dry skin get better, and it worked. It helped me within a few days but I do remember I broke out just a tiny bit. I stop using it for some time but now I started again. I use it after my cleanser in the morning and at night. It doesn't cause me any break out anymore. The only problem I have with it, is that my face is very shiny after but that's no biggie. I just wipe off the excess shine and I'm done.

I adore anything in jars, being old-fasioned like I am (at 31!) and this cream fits the bill. Great and comforting, quite a scent and very soothing. A little bit goes a long way. I use it everywhere--hands, face, feet, knees, and elbows, anytime of day. This is good stuff!

This is a rich, marshmallow-y cream; I've been using it at night b/c I use my Olay w/ SPF on most days. As the other reviewers have noted, you only need a little bit. However, I haven't really seen any dramatic effects from it. When I run out of this I will go back to regular pink Olay for nighttime.

This cream does its moisturizing job rather well but the smell is awful for me. Because of that I won't repurchase.

This is a great night time moisturizer for very dry skin. My skin started to flake and actually hurt recently due to a drop in humidity, so I picked this up. It's great, as 3 days later my skin is very well moisturized and looks great. Heavy creams ofter break me out, but this one didn't. I think the low points on this product must be due to people using it who don't have very dry skin because it has worked wonders on mine. I took off one lippie for packaging because I prefer a pump, but really, who cares?

I love this product! I'd been using Olay Night Firming Cream for years, but one day they were sold out and I picked up the Ponds...what a lucky break! I love this product!

Just for the record, I have fairly oily skin and I've been using this for about a month with no ill effects; in fact, quite the reverse. I use a moderate amount at night and a tiny bit during the day in addition to my usual Olay Daily Moisturizer. The glowing difference it makes is truly amazing. I receive compliments all the time on my glowing complexion.

It never feels heavy or greasy because you only need to use a very small amount per application. This has pretty much replaced the Olay night cream - the difference is THAT dramatic. Truly.

For $7, you get a lot of this product. You don't have to use a lot. It moisturizes my face better than others but it does leave a greasy feel and a teensy bit shiny look. But I learned that the greasy feel goes away after a while. I wouldn't buy this again, but only because I'm trying new moisturizers until I found my HG.

It was too greasy for my face, but I put it on my elbows and knees in the winter and it worked well. Although it wasn't expensive, I won't buy a moisturizer just for those two parts, especially since I've since discovered Jergens Ultra Healing Lotion [definitely my HG]

This stuff is absolutely amazing. Never have I been so impressed with a facial cream. Yes, it may seem a bit greasy at first but that is why you use much, much less than one would usually have to use. Having the insanely dry skin that I have, this product took it all away in a matter of one week while all of the other moisturizers I have used in the past couldn't even do it in a year. I use it both in the morning and the evening. Initially I was going to finish off the moisturizer I have been using in the morning but this is just too much of a good thing.

I don't use this as an allover moisturizer on my face because my skin is on the oily side, but I love using this around my eye area and my neck. It get's a bit greasy, except for when I massage it into those specific areas. The product itself is for people with very dry skin, so I wouldn't reccomend this for people with skin like mine to use as a regular moisturizer. Nevertheless, the price is very good and the jar of lotion will last a long time, especially considering the way I'm using it.

I wanted to start using a night cream, so I decided to give this a try. I have dry, mature, unsensitive skin. The light perfume didn't bother me at all, in fact, I thought it was very pleasant. I had to apply it twice as my skin drank up the first application. The second left my face feeling a little greasy, but that disappeared within 10 minutes. It took 3 nights before I noticed a difference, but what a difference. I've been using it for over a week now, and I'm over the moon with the results. My skin in the morning is so soft, and fine lines are definitely less noticeable. I wouldn't recommend it for daytime use, but it's perfect for nightime.

I love to use this on my feet, elbows, and face at night (I have extremely oily facial skin). It has a great, light fragrance, and sinks in pretty fast. It's cheap, too! =) I only wish that it came in a tube, rather than a jar b/c it's really hard to screw the cap back on & I really hate getting lotion under my nails, hehe. Other than that, go and try it!

I have dry very un-sensitive skin that doesn't really get irritated by anything, so I don't hesistate to put any new creams on my face...but I've learned my lesson. When I used this, after a few days my skin started to feel sort of tight, kind of itchy, and flaky. It took me two weeks to figure out that it was this cream that was irritating my skin. However, now I use it on my legs and feet and they are very soft and moisturized.

I've got super dry skin so I immediately wanted to try this out. I applied after washing my face and it turned my face into a pile of grease! I would try to apply it over dry patches that I had and it made my skin look glossy! This would be so awful for girls with oily skin, since it made my super dry skin turn oily. Would not purchase again. Yuck.

I have been using this product since I was a little girl because my mom would always buy it for me. I am now 22 and still use this wonderfully moisturizing cream! I love the way it makes my skin look and feel! I use this cream only at night because it is really heavy and doesn't have any SPF in it. If you have oily skin, I wouldn't suggest you try this product.. I have combination skin and during the winter my skin gets really dry. But not with Ponds! I also use a q-tip to get cream out of the jar because if you use your fingers, bacteria will get into the product.. Ponds Dry Skin Cream also smells really good! My mom got me started on this and I will get my daughters started on this! That is, when I have one.. UPDATE: I have been using this cream on my feet as well to get them flip flop ready!! Works AMAZING!! Just slather it on at night and put on some 100% cotton socks.. You feet will thank you! I'm sure any part of your body would love this cream on it!
