REVIEW - POND'S WHITE BEAUTY PEARL CLEANSING GEL

 Disclosure
" Pond’s Pearl Cleansing Gel is the first whitening facial wash in gel formulation that cleanses your skin, making it whiter and fresher, without drying it. Gel skincare products are lighter in texture and generally have milder ingredients allowing its essential properties to dissolve faster and more effectively into the skin. The Pearl Essence is known and tested for noticeable skin whitening. WIth its oxygenated formulation, it cleanses and refreshes while locking in moisture, making skin softer and more supple. Also, it is perfect for sensitive skin as it has milder ingredients compared to drying, whitening soaps. "

size : 50 gr and 100 gr
price range around IDR 13rb-25rb

the product comes in white-pink-transparant tube with flip cap, which i hate... WHY? because (i don't know if it just me) the cap became harder to close as i more and more frequent closing and opening it, at some point it didn't want to close at all.

Clear white gel.. with bubble (perhaps the oxygenated formula?)

aside from that i LOVE everything about the product.
- IT didn't dry out or irritate my sensitive-dry-mature skin, didn't leave that tight feeling that you get often after you wash your face, didn't give that "filmy" feeling that sometimes you get when using facial foam and DOESN'T BREAK ME OUT.
- IT has faint rose floral scent which i loveee and i usually didn't like my cleansing product to have any scent
- IT claims to have whitening effect, but i don't notice that or should i say it wasn't my top priority when i used the product.
this is the first product from Pond's that i own for this long in my stash ( been using this since 2 or 3 months i think ), read about this on one of the blogger i follow and since that i've waited for this to "arrived" in Indonesia.
now this has become my Favorite "over the counter-drugstore" Facial Wash, i kept repurchasing this.

 ================================================================================

basically a cleansing water without drying or irritate even on sensitive skin..
Bioderma has been my favorite cleansing water EVERR (here's my REVIEW)... because i ran out of those i might try out other product.. this caught my eye while i was (originally) searching for Bioderma, for price this is cheaper than Bioderma say.. around Idr 200k (250ml)... while this one is Idr 190k (500 ml), just make it short.. i got this because it was cheaperrr... :D

the product comes with a pump, you have to be careful not pumping it too rough, make sure to place the cotton pad not too far from the pump or else it will get messy. 2-3 pumps are enough for my whole face.

in term of cleansing Corine De Farme cleanse like Bioderma, and just like Bioderma you have to use separate eye make up remover (for me i use baby oil ) for waterproof mascara ( i used L'OREAL Butterfly Effect mascara ) and this is slightlyyyyy sting my eye when i accidentaly get some into my eye while i was cleaning my eyeliner.
- for the Hydrating part, i don't think this is hydrating enough for my skin - i have acne prone/sensitive/mature/dry skin.
-"without prickling or tightness" sorry to say i do have a little prickling and just a bit tightness after use (before i continue clean my face with facial wash).

Top :

Mascara - Loreal butterfly effect waterproof

Bottom R-L :

- Jordana 12 Hour Made to Last liquid eyeliner pencil

- Dollywink liquid eyeliner pen

- Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain

- Pixy BB Cream

my routine for night time is always to cleanse my skin twice.. with cleansing oil or cleansing water then facial wash especially when i wear sunblock and bb cream/foundation.

the one thing that puts me down when i saw the ingredients list was PERFUME.. personally i don't like my cleanser to have perfume or at least not too much, this has that sweet floral milky scent (not too strong though) and now after using it for a while the smell is bearable.

overall i think this is a pretty good product if your looking for a cleansing water as well as Bioderma
as for my skin concern i still prefer Bioderma, but this do the job just as well as Bioderma, it would have suits you if you have normal-combination oily skin.
