Awaken to the Glow of Gold with New Pond’s gold radiance™ Ultra Rich Night Treatment Capsules

Real gold serum concentrate and a rich vitamin complex infused in little capsules to recapture your youthful radiance.

Ask a woman what bothers her most about her skin and chances are that she will say dryness. It’s true; dryness is a common problem for women, regardless of skin type. However, what they don’t know is that as they age the skin dryness is a symptom and not the problem itself.

At Pond’s, we took up the task to study this deep rooted problem. What we found in our research was startling. The dryness women experience when they are young is different from the dryness when their skin starts ageing. And dry skin is more prone to dullness. So, we asked ourselves, how could we help women combat this dryness and recapture their youthful glow?

The Pond’s Institute knows that dry skin is different and struggles more to recapture the radiance of youth. That’s why Pond’s gold radiance™ Ultra Rich products, infused with real gold serum concentrate, are especially designed for dry skin to provide the extra, rich care it needs to recapture the radiance of youth.

New Pond’s gold radiance™ Ultra Rich Night Treatment Capsules

For the first time from Pond’s, luxurious and high-performance nighttime formulation with real gold serum concentrate and a rich vitamin complex is captured for you in the New Pond’s gold radiance™ Ultra Rich Night Treatment Capsules. As your skin goes through a lot during the day, the little capsule with combined gold serum concentrate and vitamin complex deeply* nourishes dry skin cells overnight. Its anti-ageing ingredient CLA also fights the tell-tale signs of ageing, so that you wake up youthful and glowing.

 

The little capsules are not only effective but also easy to apply. Before going to bed, just break open a capsule and gently massage the rich formulation on your skin with upward circular motion. Use it every evening as part of your daily skin care routine.

The New Pond’s gold radiance™ Ultra Rich Night Treatment Capsules is an introduction to our wholesome range of products. It includes Ultra Rich Day Cream with high performance real gold serum concentrate to keep you glowing through the day. Also, Ultra Rich Serum with potent anti-ageing ingredients gives your skin the extra care it needs to recapture its youthful radiance.

Mamma'S Review : Olay Total Effects Anti Aging Cream

Hello beauties...
I am yet again coming up with another review of product My Mom used .... Its Olay Total Effects Anti- Aging Cream.

My mom is very much into using age-defying creams and uses them religiously everyday. So when I received this product for review purposes, she happily tried it out.

Let's see what the product claims?  

Total Effects Fragrance-Free Daily Moisturizer (Gentle variant) hydrates skin, providing the total anti aging power of moisture fused with vitamins and antioxidants.

Total Effects fights 7 signs of ageing (fine lines and wrinkles, rough texture, uneven skin tone, dullness, prominent pores, age spots and dryness) by:

• Minimizing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
• Smoothing skin’s texture with gentle exfoliation
• Balancing colour and tone while reducing the appearance of age spots
• Fighting dullness for healthy-looking radiance
• Refining to minimize pore appearance
• Moisturizing to nourish dry skin and to help firm and subtly lift its appearance
• Protecting skin’s surface with antioxidants

Colour-Free. Fragrance-Free. Oil-Free. Fast-Absorbing. Dermatologically Tested. Non-Comedogenic. 

My MOM'S Take on the Product: 

My mom was not very impressed with the quantity of product that was provided. It was too little to draw conclusions .. Three uses and wham!! Your product is finished ... !!!

It did worked a bit with her... Her skin is dry and hence the light textured cream gets easily absorbed into her skin and keeps it moisturised.

It did not irritate her skin at all which was good.

She does not have acne problem ( Lucky Her!!) so can't really comment on whether the product makes you break out or not ?

It did not even out her skin tone. She feels other creams she has used works better than this one.

Regarding the claims of reducing age spots, wrinkles and radiance - She did not see any difference in her skin in that terms. Continuous usage of cream over weeks can vary the result.

She thinks if the cream did not get over so soon - MAYBE it would have worked a bit on her skin...

Himalaya Refreshing Fruit Pack

I was going through a very bad bouts of break-outs sometime ago and that was when my dermatologist suggested me to use face packs to soak up all the sebum from the oil glands of the skin. Since then I have been a regular user of face packs. Face packs have definitely improved my overall skin tone and also have helped me to control my oil glands of the skin.

I believe that if you are not a regular visitor of beauty parlors for regular clean ups and facial, you must definitely use face packs regularly at home which will cleanse your skin and also help in maintaining the firmness of skin. It also helps in maintaining your skin balance.

I have had oily skin for quite sometime now and I swear by the miracles of mud packs and Fuller earth. I am having an affair with them. I keep coming back to it no matter whatever new product I try. So when I was given the opportunity to use Himalaya Refreshing Fruit Pack - I was curious to see how it will work on my skin.


Product: Himalaya Refreshing Fruit Pack.
Quantity: 50 gms
Price: 60 INR

Action:
A unique formulation of natural ingredients that rejuvenates the facial skin. Enriched with Apple, a rich source of natural Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs) that nourish and improve the skin glow. Fig and Cucumber, provide cooling effect to your skin. Papaya removes freckles and smoothens the skin. Fuller’s Earth soothes the skin and removes blackheads and deeply embedded impurities.

Usage:
Clean face and neck with Himalaya Herbals Deep Cleansing Milk. Apply Refreshing Fruit Pack evenly over face and neck, avoiding area around eyes and mouth. Let it dry for 10-15 minutes and remove with wet sponge/towel. Rinse with cool water. For best results, use once a week

 My Experience with the Product:
The face pack comes in a sturdy tube like packaging with a green flip cap. It is very travel friendly.
This product worked well on my skin. It did not do any wonders but I guess it will work better for normal to dry skin toned people.
The first time I applied it, I felt a tingling sensation on my face which was weird.Anyway - the pack was successful in firming my facial skin tone. It did not brighten up my skin or anything.
With regular use, this face pack is successful in smoothing your skin tone.
I could not test its claim of whether the face pack is successful in removing blackheads because I don't have any.
The texture of the pack is very creamy which effortlessly spreads onto your skin and has a nice cooling effect on your skin.
I love the smell of the face pack which is chiefly of apples and papaya.

Love it or chuck it ?
Its a good face pack for normal to dry skinned people. Regular usage will certainly show results.

All About Packs !

Your daily Cleansing-Toning-Moisturizing routine will cleanse the outer layers of your skin. Adding a face pack once a week will take your cleansing deeper.

What does a face pack do? A face pack deep cleanses your skin by penetrating deep into the pores to remove impurities, dead skin cells and excess oils. It keeps skin hydrated by restoring its water content, leaving it soft and supple.
Face packs also brighten skin by lightening spots, blemishes and pigmentation.

How to choose a face pack?
Firstly, you must know your skin type in order to choose the right face pack.
Secondly, look for natural ingredients like saffron, neem, papaya, apple, aloe vera in your packs as these are gentler on the skin.




If you have normal skin
You are lucky! However, even normal skin needs a skincare regime.
We recommend: Himalaya Fairness Face Pack. An easy-to-apply pack with Saffron, Turmeric and Aloe Vera. Saffron and Turmeric improve skin tone and lighten spots. Aloe Vera is well-known to hydrate skin.



 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 If you have oily skin
You have overactive oil glands! The oil glands produce more sebum, giving the skin a greasy shine.
We recommend: Himalaya Clarifying Mud Pack. Enriched with Fuller's Earth and Walnut, the face pack deep cleanses skin by absorbing excess oils and removing impurities.




If you have dry skin
Your skin produces less sebum. As a result, the skin may flake and look lackluster.
We recommend: Himalaya Refreshing Fruit Pack. A fruity punch to get rid of dull and patchy skin. It has Apple, a rich source of Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHA), for nourishing skin. Fig and Cucumber for relieving dryness. Papaya helps in lightening blemishes.




 













If you have pimple-prone skin
You need to take care of your skin without aggravating the condition.
We recommend: Himalaya Purifying Neem Face Pack. An instant pick-me-up for pimple-prone skin. It has Neem, a time-tested herb known for its antibacterial properties, that keeps skin troubles at bay. Turmeric, with its antiseptic properties, improves complexion and fights blemishes.

Remember to remove the pack off your face gently. Wash with lukewarm water and apply an ice pack to close the pores.

Mint, a natural antiseptic, helps heal eruptions like pimples or blackheads on the face and body. It also restores your skin's natural oil balance and stops scaling. 

My take on the Product:
I have combination to oily skin so this face pack is so very apt for my skin. I am also troubled with acne so i am extra careful in choosing which products will touch my face.
This face pack is light brown in color and consist of very fine minute granulated powder. 
The first time I used this product I was smitten with its aroma. The smell of the product takes back to your childhood when we use to buy 2 rupees worth peppermint candies from the shop. 

I mix the face pack powder with Gulabari Rose water and sometimes with Tvam's Toner. The result is the same it gives your face an extra glow afterwards.
The face pack is true to its claim of preventing acne. It also keeps my skin oil free for few hours.
All in all It is an excellent face pack for us oilies.

This face pack will be best for dry-skinned people. Nevertheless I did use it for sometime. 
It is light yellow in color and the smells mostly of almonds. I like the tightening effect of the face pack. It didnt however work on me that well since my t-zone started getting oily after a bit. 
I used with face pack by mixing the finely gridded powder with Tvam's toner and It did bring a glow on my face. 
Overall - This is best suited for people with dry skin. I ll give this face pack to my sister since she has dry skin type.
