Refreshing and Lightweight!
For disclosure, I recieved this product for free! I have really been enjoying this moisturizer. As a huge fan of the Pond's cold cream I expected greatness. It is not like the cold cream in texture! It's very lightweight and sinks right into your skin. I think it does well to moisturize your skin when applied generously.

POND’S Fresh Hydration Hyaluronic Acid Gel Moisturizer
This gel moisturizer from Ponds is quite light and absorbs quickly into your skin, leaving it feeling hydrated and more supple. It does have a strong scent so if you're sensitive to strong smells this may not be the one for you . I received this sample from Ponds in exchange for my honest review.

Fragrance is too strong
I wanted to love this because I’ve heard great things but the smell is just too strong, and it seemed to irritate my face. The consistency is perfect…but I should have listened to the other reviews :-/

Lightweight Moisture
Nice and non-greasy on the parts of my face that aren't oily. I like it for winter when my cheeks get dehydrated and this rehydrates them without the heavy feel of creams, which clog my pores

Don’t like the consistency
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product seems to help with dryness on my face pretty well. However, I do not like the consistency of this product. The scent is good. Not bad for sensitive skin. Like the packaging and ingredients seem good.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like the feel of the product, did not leave my skin feeling greasy or gross and I thought it felt very hydrated even after first application. I think it has a pleasant smell. I feel like there is a difference in my skin. It’s a great product for its price point.

Underrated gem for real!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wasn’t expecting this Pond’s moisturizer to hit like it did, but … it’s so good 😩💧 It’s super lightweight, feels like water on the skin, and my face just drinks it up! I have combo/sensitive skin and this didn’t clog me, burn me, or break me out. Just smooth, hydrated, glowy skin. It’s got hyaluronic acid, Vitamin E and B3, which is everything for hydration and brightening — and it honestly makes my skin feel bouncy and fresh without being greasy. High end feels. If you’re looking for a non-sticky, cooling gel moisturizer to wear under makeup or just keep you hydrated all day — this is the one. And it smells fresh but not overpowering. 4/5 for fragrance. Not a fan of fragrance in my skincare.

Hydating
I liked this moisturizer. It absorbs easily and I thought it did a good job with keeping my skin hydrated. If you prefer gel moisturizers than this is a good one. I will say though that it does have a strong scent to it so keep that in mind if you are sensitive to fragrances. I received this sample in exchange for my honest review.

Fantastic gel moisturizer!
I absolutely love this moisturizer! The gel formula feels incredibly lightweight and refreshing on my skin, and it absorbs quickly without any greasy residue. My skin feels instantly hydrated, soft, and smooth after each use. The combination of hyaluronic acid, Vitamin E, and B3 seems to be working wonders, as my complexion looks noticeably brighter and healthier. It's a fantastic daily moisturizer that provides long-lasting hydration and a lovely, dewy finish. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a simple yet effective way to boost their skin's moisture.
