Before starting the review, I want to reiterate that I do not support fairness products. I have reviewed this solely out of my curiosity and I wanted to see how much of the hi-flying claims it supports.
Price: Rs 249 for 50gms
Pros
cute packaging
evens out the skin tone
Cons
makes me sweat a lot sometimes
sticks to one place on my skin and refuses to spread smoothly
doesn’t fulfil any claims of fairness (it claims to make your skin fair genetically)
can’t use it as a sunscreen (this is not exactly a con)
less on moisturizing
My Experience
So, this is my second fairness product. I remember long time back, I had tried out the Fair n Lovely sachet which used to come with magazines. I had tried it just once but I remember the texture of the cream which was a little powdery and felt dry. This Ponds one has the same texture.
I like the packaging, though. But, taking enough amount of the product is a challenge when it is a tub packaging. I really wish they come with pump packing so that one pump or two are enough for one use. Take too much and the product clumps on the skin. The cream is a little thick and creamy and doesn’t spread easily at all.
In fact, blending was a huge headache for me in the starting but then, I used my regular method of applying moisturizer and it worked really well. But, even then, I have to make sure that I have just enough of the product to cover my face otherwise it does end up giving a white cast and a patchy look. And, after applying the product, you can see some of the product clumped up in the lines of your palms which is extremely annoying.
Ok, to speak good of the product, it evens out my skin beautifully and gives a very pinkish look to my face. The skin looks brightened and a little glowy. However, I did not see any fairness or any skin lightening in the long run. I don’t think it works on removing the tanning but I am not really sure of that. It is suited for skin prone to more oiliness as it gives a mattifying look.
I do not really rely on my moisturizers to give me sun protection (I do not advise it either) so the product having spf is redundant for me. However, I have seen that the glow does stay till the evening on some days. But, this moisturizer is not enough if you have dry skin. It tends to make my skin dry even in summers (my skin is combination towards dry).
But, I did sweat more with this product at times which was a shame. So, if you are looking for fairness, I would not recommend this. But, if you are looking for a product which evens out your skin temporarily, yes, you should definitely go for this.
Fun Fact: I asked my dad to use this and his face was also a little brighter and even after applying this product. But, even he faced issues while blending it!
PS: Product sent by brand.
I have on of the ponds cream too and it is soooo difficult to spread it on your face. You literally have to spend time behind it. :/
try applying it on damp face…hopefully that should be easier!!! also, do try this tip: http://perfectskincareforyou.blogspot.in/2012/06/how-much-moisturizer-do-you-use-skin.html
its awesome!!!
I can see it is good, but it also has some negative points.
same story with all products, Demi 🙂
I have an oily skin,and maybe for this reason i dont find difficulty for applying it…only a small amount of it and it evenly spreads giving me a pinkish glow..but i promise that it has realy improved my skintone..and have got ridden of my dark spots with less time…i think it works well for oilyskin because i could not see the same difference for my cousin who has a dry skin.
yes, it does even out the skin really well which even I like but can’t say anything about blemishes…good that it worked out for you 🙂
I have this same issue so may i use ponds white cream i need your suggestion guys
i don’t think the product worked well for anyone!!

hi swathi mam am from hyderabad ap i have dry skin plz suggest best face glowing and white cream
i am sorry but i dont have recos for moisturizers because i have never yet liked any. but, i can suggest rustic art aloevera gel which is amazing for hydrating the skin but it has to be followed with some other moisturizer. you can also use almond oil. a drop or two will be enough for face and neck.

ALL GRDIANT IN CEARM INHBIT MELANINE THTS MY POINT
Oh really?
Guess thats melatonin you’re talking about. Please, understand that melanin and melatonin are two completely different things.
Melatonin is a hormone which aids in sleep & mood as you mentioned, while melanin is responsible for skin color.
Cheers!
well, i am sorry but i have not that much of knowledge on either front!

ok, I will just say “Meladerm” made by Civant Skin care is the best ever, do not waist money on something else.And yup, sunblock at least 45 and Neutrogena face shield is very good.

This cream remove blemishes??
did not for me!
hey.i was using ponds white beauty daily spot less lightening cream SPF PA++ and it was good and my skin was glowing after using it but today i just bought another pack (my old pack was over) and i bought ponds whit beauty daily spot less lightening cream pro vitamin B3TM multiple Uv protection and this is quite different form the one i bought before. its cap is of light orange colour not pink and is not that hard to spread as it’s composition is not hard or thick like before. it is like normal cream and after using it i found that it is not working fr me. infact it made my skin dull n black like never before. my clean skin was just ruined by this ….. first one was better with pink cap. so is this a fake product i just bought with orange cap..?? and the most hating part, i bought extra large size and now cant even return it to the shop . 🙁
hey Sampriti…well, quite possible that the one you bought was a fake one. there has been quite a lot black market in this sector as well lately. well, i would suggest throw it and don’t return to that shop.
hello, my skin is full of dark spot black head n dark now after pregnancy also more dry suggest me some cream
i would suggest rustic art aloevera gel for night and for day, stick to lotus white glow emulsion and sunscreen. but, i can not suggest you any product for blemishes!
though rustic art does help with dark spots and complexion but gradually.
i like the old ponds beauty skin care product
quite a lot of fans for the older product 🙂
i want to know that this cream help to remove pimple and its dark spot because my skin is very much oily …….????
no!
there are many whiteheads on my face. and my face looking dry always. please suggest me a cream
hello guys, if u look your face smooth, clean, white & remove your dark spot & repair your deep hole etc…. my suggestion is u can use only vicco turmeric wso cream. and safi hamdard product. I challenge u everyone it’s work only 6 month. your problem is solved.
this is my experience

Hi ,
I have using Ponds white beauty from past 5 years, but i tried to stop it for a week, immediately i have started getting pimples, is that anything related to stopping cream suddenly , Not sure whether i have to continue to put cream to stop this pimples. I never get pimples, this is first time getting pimple . Please advise.
Hi Sivani. That is weird actually. Have you introduced any other product in your routine? Or, just left using this product? You can do one thing – use the product for 15 days and see if your pimples disappear. Also,ski does take a bi of time to adjust to change in routine so it might be just that a sudden discontinue after 5 years might just have irritated the skin. Do not tease your skin. And, the second option with you is to not use anything on your skin for next 15 days and see if your skin returns to normal. Just use all other regular products which you have been using.
pls review dabur uveda
