I received this for free to try and give a review from pinchme. There is a very light scent that is noticeable when you take the product out of the jar. It dissipates in seconds. Goes on very easily. Absorbs quickly into the skin. Not really sure of I noticed any difference in the moisture in my skin afterwards.

Strong fragrance
I bought this because I liked the Ponds cold cream and moisturizer. I have used Ponds throughout my lifetime ( I am 67) and saw this new gel Hyaluronic acid face cream. It was a great price and I was excited to try it. I have other hyaluronic products ( Good Molecules and The Ordinary) and not one of them smells like this. Well, when I opened the jar the strong perfume fragrance hit me in the face hard! It is so strong that I don’t know if I will continue to use it. Fragrance this strong smelling should not be in a gel that you put on your face. Sensitive skin to fragrance will not enjoy this product. I must admit that it did hydrate my skin, I didn’t have a reaction, not to say if daily use will not cause one. Please take this strong fragrance out of this gel as I feel it has no benefit for your skin. I think I will stick with my other products that are clean and not perfumed. I don’t recommend this product and I will discontinue using it.

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.
