Facial Moisturizer
Pond’s Dry Skin Cream
Overview
Pond’s Dry Skin Cream (often called the classic white tub with the blue cap, or Pond’s Crema S) is a rich, heavy-duty facial moisturizer — a legendary, time-tested skincare staple formulated to supply intense, long-lasting hydration to dry and sensitive skin.
01 The Classic Tub
Instantly recognizable by its white jar and signature blue cap, sold worldwide as Pond’s Crema S.
02 Rich & Heavy-Duty
A dense, deeply nourishing facial moisturizer built for skin that needs serious hydration.
03 Time-Tested Formula
A legendary, decades-old skincare staple trusted across generations of routines.
04 Made For Dry & Sensitive Skin
Formulated specifically to supply intense, long-lasting relief where skin needs it most.
Ingredients & Formulation
The magic of this cream lies in its classic occlusive-and-humectant formulation, which creates a protective seal over the skin to trap moisture in.
Mineral Oil & Petrolatum
Heavyweight occlusive agents that form a physical barrier on the skin, preventing moisture from evaporating.
Glycerin
Draws moisture from the air and deeper skin layers up into the outer epidermis, keeping it plump.
Isopropyl Palmitate & Stearic Acid
Smooths out skin texture and gives the cream its rich, velvety consistency.
Dermatologist Tested
Formulated to be safe for routine, everyday usage. Every batch is evaluated under dermatological supervision before it reaches the shelf. Build it into your routine without second-guessing it.
Hypoallergenic
Engineered to minimize the risk of allergic reactions — suitable for sensitive skin. The formula avoids common irritants that trigger redness or itching. A gentler choice, even for reactive skin.
Non-Comedogenic
Specially designed not to clog pores, despite its rich texture. It sits as a protective layer without blocking follicles underneath. Deep hydration, without the breakouts.
How It Works
Mechanism & Benefits
Deep Intracellular Hydration
Works from the inside out to significantly minimize flakiness, rough patches, and tight sensations caused by lack of moisture.
Moisture Barrier Protection
By utilizing petrolatum and mineral oil, it reinforces a compromised skin barrier, shielding your face from harsh weather, dry winds, and indoor heating/AC.
Softens & Smooths Texture
Regular application leaves the skin feeling touchably soft, supple, and radiant with a healthy glow.
Acts as a Makeup Base
Creates a smooth, hydrated canvas that prevents foundation or concealer from clinging to dry flakes, allowing for flawless makeup application.
How To Use
Step-by-Step Guide
- 1
Cleanse
Start with a clean face. Wash away dirt, oil, and impurities using a gentle facial cleanser and pat your skin dry with a soft towel.
- 2
Dot The Cream
Scoop a small, coin-sized amount of Pond’s Dry Skin Cream using clean fingers. Dot it evenly across your forehead, cheeks, nose, and chin.
- 3
Massage Gently
Using upward and outward circular motions, gently massage the cream into your face and neck. Do not pull or stretch the skin.
- 4
Allow Absorption
Because it is a rich cream, give it a minute or two to fully melt and sink into the skin before applying makeup or going to bed.
Use twice a day — once in the morning (AM) as part of your daytime prep, and once at night (PM) to lock in moisture while you sleep.
Good To Know
Additional Details & Tips
A thick, rich, creamy texture. While it deeply nourishes, it absorbs relatively well without leaving an overly slick oily layer if used in appropriate amounts.
A classic, clean, vintage floral scent typical of traditional Pond’s formulations. If you have extreme sensitivities to heavily fragranced products, it is wise to patch-test first.
Dry, very dry, combination-dry, and sensitive skin types. If you have exceptionally oily or acne-prone skin, this heavy formula might feel too rich for daytime summer use, though it excels during cold, dry winter months.
