    Obsessed!

    I absolutely love this! It was extremely refreshing as it cooled my skin down (important in your 40's lol) and it had the perfect amount of hydration! My skin instantly felt soft and smooth and no oily residue afterwards! I often use it immediately for aftercare in the sun and if you were a 80's kid you know about the white zinc cream in the dark blue jar that almost instantly cooled your sun skin down and trapped moisture, well this stuff did even better! 10!10 totally recommend!

    Freebie

    Got this free sample and it was nice. Only thing is it's hard to decide if product is good when samples so small sometimes. This is that case but overall pretty good product.

    I have always liked Ponds face cream. When I tried this gel moisturizer, it was quite different from the lotion. It was definitely lighter and felt refreshing but I didnt feel like it did a great job as a moisturizer. For me , it would be great for a cool off, but not my every day moisturizer. It reminded me a little of aloe vera . I received this from Ponds for my honest review.

    The way this product feels on my skin is amazing. It goes a long way, absorbs nicely, and leaves my skin feeling nice. I can't get past the scent, but that's a personal taste. I do think it's worth giving a shot, because the scent is my ONLY complaint. It works well, does what it claims to do, and feels really nice! Just be aware that the scent is strong if that's a thing that bothers you. I recieved this product for free in exchange for my honest review.

    Light and hydrating

    I received this item for free in exchange for my honest review. Overall, I really liked this moisturizer. The gel was light, and the product absorbed well. It also wore nicely under makeup. The moisturizer smelled really nice, but be aware in case you are sensitive to scented products. I would definitely use this again—especially during the summer.

    Pond's POND’S Fresh Hydration Gel Moisturizers

    I truly enjoyed the complimentary sample of POND'S Fresh Hydration Gel Moisturizer. It was remarkably refreshing, cool, and had a sensation akin to cold water. Although it wasn't liquid, I felt invigorated, much like splashing cold water on my face to awaken. The most appealing aspect was that my face felt moisturized without any greasiness, and it possessed a very subtle fragrance. I will certainly be purchasing this product again.

    Comparable to Neutrogena

    If you want a lightweight moisturizer that gives your skin that fresh, dewy look without feeling greasy, the POND’S Fresh Hydration Gel Moisturizer is honestly a really solid budget-friendly option. The texture is what stands out most right away — it’s a cooling water-gel that melts into the skin almost instantly and feels super refreshing, especially in warmer weather or if you have combination/oily skin. I received this item for free in exchange for my honest review.

    lightweight formula

    I recieved this product from Ponds in exchange for an honest review. it is a lightweight formula that I find especially useful for summer. It hydrates and doesn't feel heavy. It is a light moisturizer and I don't like to use it when I feel especially dry

    I received a sample to try. Honestly it was okay but I wouldn’t purchase again. I didn’t feel it truly hydrated my skin. It more so felt like a layer of gel over my skin and felt sticky as it was drying.
