My Thoughts About It :

Its not the first BB cream that I have tried . Rimmel was my first one and it was a big NO for me because it makes my skin super oily within few minutes.

Lots and lots of travelling between Lhr-Isl-Murree makes my skin less oily (more tanned) . I guess from super oily skin now i am having oily/comb one. Also i can't really apply foundation and all on daily basis but still i want something that can give me some coverage while giving me that glowing look. After reading many positive reviews I decided to try Ponds BB+ cream .

Initially i just hate the product , as it was super mattifying and makes my skin dry or cakey . But not anymore ... will reveal a great tip to work with this beauty ...

Ponds BB+ Cream comes in a squeeze tube .The consistency is perfect and you really need a teeny tiny amount for your whole face. So the point that people are raising that it comes in a very small tube makes it expensive and all isn't true . I am currently using one from the past Two months and it still is almost full . The best part is that its so easy to blend . It just glides on my skin smoothly and so perfectly that you can hardly notice anything on my face. I have applied it with my sanitised fingers and with Sigma F 80 , both ways it glides over the skin flawlessly .It was like next to my original skin just slightly hiding all the imperfections.

As I mentioned above , Its super mattifying and drying nature makes my skin look dry and cakey . So i figured it out how to work with this legend :

A Great Tip :

If you have a combination/oily skin just mix Ponds BB+ with any good moisturizer of your choice and Voila enjoy your dewy flawless skin . I mixed my Ponds BB+ with Johnsons baby lotion (when my skin is super dry ) OR with Garnier BB Cream and the results are AMAZING. Go give it a try and you can thank me later ;)

Yes Ponds BB+ cream almost gives you a complete coverage . I do not need any concealer to hide any imperfections after using this beauty ( as shown in above pic , am using Only Ponds BB+ Cream with a Blushon and lipstick ). For people having some major skin issues , I can say that you might need some concealer or correctors to hide imperfections BUT it can definitely minimise the quantity of your foundation/concealers you used to apply if you pair them with Ponds BB+ cream .

I do agree that for some people its too pale and variety of shades are not available to match your skin color ( sorry I am not sure about available colors in the market). In my view , that's the only drawback .

It surely helps to control or minimise the oil on my face for good long hours. After pairing it with Garnier BB cream , it gives me that dewy glow for good long hours (almost for a whole day full of outdoor activities ) without making my skin oily or shiny during winter/spring season .

To sum it up I can say it’s easy to use, feels light on skin, did not oxidize , controls the shine/oil on my face along with minimizing the appearance of pores . I LOVE LOVE LOVE my PONDS BB+ Cream. It’s a Life saver product for me and its Affordable too !
