My The Ordinary and The Potions bottles are already empty and I don't feel like re-purchasing them. I'm actually planning to start using rejuvenating products during my postpartum to remove all impurities in my skin from my pregnancy days. However, the rejuvenating brand that I love can only be bought in the Philippines, and my sister in the Philippines is currently processing the shipment of the products. So, at the moment, I researched and found some other products that are good for my skin.
I remember this famous influencer in the Philippines who keeps raving about Pond's. I can't find her video where she talks about a certain product from Pond's, so I just helped myself and researched which is the most effective Pond's product on the market right now. And the results keep suggesting the Pond's Age Miracle. Pond's Age Miracle has day and night cream and essence. It's honestly quite expensive compared to my usual The Ordinary brand but when you combined the shipment fee, well it sums it all up.
- POND'S Age Miracle Ultimate Youth Essence
I can't find the exact website of Pond's about the Age Miracle Ultimate Youth Essence, however, I found the information in Beautyhubph:
"POND'S Age Miracle Ultimate Youth Essence is a fast-absorbing anti-aging serum that helps reveal soft and supple skin. Though lightweight and non-greasy, it's infused with 10 powerful anti-aging ingredients (including collagen, retinol, niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, prebiotics, and more) that are known to renew collagen in the skin. With regular use, this serum can help:
- Promote collagen renewal and density in the skin
- Repair and restore skin's suppleness, elasticity and bounce
- Reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
- Brighten skin and fade dark spots
- Deeply hydrate skin from within the epidermis
- Speed up skin's natural renewal cycle (proven with skin renewal in-vivo test of peptide, used regularly. Results may vary.)
- Counteract sun damage and UV-induced skin ageing"
My Thought
First I'm not quite sure but I think I bought the upgraded one, it has Vitamin C according to the label. Anyways, the packaging is unique I never had any experience using a product that you can press the top of the cap to draw up the serum liquid, then press again to dispense. It's very convenient actually, and the pressing is very smooth, I like it. Like any other essence, the texture is liquidy-gel and lightweight. If you didn't know essence helps the serums and moisturizer you use to absorb into the skin better. With the information above Pond's essence contains powerful ingredients such as collagen, retinol, niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, and prebiotics. I've been using Pond's Age Miracle Ultimate Youth Essence for more than a week now and I can say that I see changes in my skin, I can see that my skin is glowing and I noticed that my face brightened, no joke at all. The essence immediately absorbs with no tackiness, and the fragrance is not overwhelming. At the end of the day or the next day, my skin looks plump and like Korean glass skin. I think the major outcome of this Pond's essence is to renew your skin color from dull to bright and make it hydrated, it doesn't remove my blemishes and dark spots. If you wanted to remove those I think you need to start using rejuvenating products or retinol. Overall, I like the Pond's Age Miracle Ultimate Youth Essence it really delivers the results after 7 weeks.
- POND'S Age Miracle Anti Aging Day Cream SPF 18 with Retinol C and Niacinamide for Skin Renewal
Again, according to Beautyhubph POND'S Age Miracle Anti Aging Day Cream "POND'S Age Miracle Youthful Glow Day Cream SPF 18 PA++ contains ingredients that are proven to stimulate collagen production in the skin.
- Retinol-C is a timed-release retinoid that penetrates the skin and continuously releases powerful actives for 24-hrs, non-stop; when used regularly, it reduces the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and crow’s feet.
- Niacinamide brightens skin, fades dark spots and evens out the complexion.
- Collagen, Hyaluronic Acid, Ceramides and Prebiotic to nourish, plump, and replenish the skin."
My Thought
The packaging is great, simple and clean, it smells like a mild classic fragrance, the color of the cream is light pastel pink, and lastly, the texture is creamy but it's not heavy on the skin when applied. It spreads easily and gets absorbed into the skin without greasiness. The same with the Pond's essence it brightens my face, feeling smooth, soft, and looking radiant. I love that the cream comes with SPF already so I don't need to apply another sunblock to my skin. Once again, it doesn't remove my blemishes and dark spots, I really need the right product for my unwanted skin problems like the rejuvenating products.
- POND'S Age Miracle Anti Aging Night Cream with 15X Retinol C and Niacinamide to Boost Collagen
According to Beautyhubph "Pond’s Age Miracle Youthful Glow Night Cream is an anti-aging cream here to help protect your skin against premature signs of aging and keep you looking and feeling your best.
In this POND's cream, retinol is the star ingredient, containing the highest concentration of POND'S most advanced technology, Retinol-C Complex. It releases powerful anti-aging retinol actives into the skin, working 24hr non-stop to help reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines from the inside. Pond's Age Miracle night cream leaves you with skin that feels youthfully radiant inside and out.
With added Niacinamide, POND's anti-aging night cream also helps strengthen the skin’s protective barrier as well as brighten and even out dark spots and dullness. In addition, it also contains 4D Hyaluronic Acid, Collagen, Ceramides, and Prebiotics to moisturize, plump, and restore skin while you sleep.
Used as a part of your nightly skincare routine, it can help reduce the appearance of wrinkles and boost your skin's youthful radiance."
My Thought
I want to be honest with you loves, I'm not really into moisturizers, my skincare go to is either essence or serums. That's why I always forget to apply moisturizer at night, so basically for almost two weeks now I rarely use the POND'S Age Miracle Anti Aging Night Cream. The smell and texture are the same as the day cream. I also noticed that when I used the night cream the next day my skin looks fresh and shiny, not the oily type but the glass skin like Koreans.
Final Thought
Should I buy again the Pond's Age Miracle essence and the creams? Well, as of now I have love and hate feelings with products, especially the creams. As I mentioned above I'm not really a fan of moisturizers, especially the creams, but probably I will buy again the essence. Pond's Age Miracle is a nice skincare product on the market, in all fairness of all the products that I used in my existence only the Pond's Age Miracle that I see results in 7 days.
