Pond's Complete Solution Acne Clear Review

I just finished washing my face with this when my sister said to me, “What happened to your face?” I thought my face is reddish but instead it was ghostly white. I wonder why every time I use Ponds, even their other variants, it felt like my face is super white. As if I was soaked in vinegar. How lovely it is to have a radiant and youthful face instead of just bright.

Labels
Expiration Day is embossed in the right side of the sachet. If you read carefully, you will find the format of the date somewhere near the bottom. (DD/MM/YY) It is best before 3 years from the manufacturing date.

Texture
Compared to the green variant, Ponds Acne Control has larger amount of tiny beads. It can be uncomfortable to use and annoying during the first few days of usage of the scrub. I've gotten used to it eventually. I just tried my best to be gentle.

Instruction
This facial foam + scrub exfoliates dead skin cell. It is recommended in morning and evening but I only use it at night. Other than that, there's no further instruction. Should I leave it that way or its okay to use a moisturizer or a toner?

Results:
It really brightened my face and I look pale after wash but I still like it. It has a very nice and truly instant effect with whiteheads but the blackheads were as stubborn as it was before. Maybe the real remedy for my blackheads is visiting a spa since it’s below the skin surface. The wash don't make me feel oil free, instead I feel dry with the prolong use.

I used it straight for 1 week and only stopped when I suddenly have breakouts. I switched to the black ponds (with activated carbon) but I still use it for exfoliation every after 2 days. I was still satisfied during the first 3 days. Then I start taking into consideration that everyday exfoliation is not good.

The breakouts really disappoint me and frighten me at the same time. There is a myth of transition phase with some products. You have to see the worse before experiencing the best result. But I stop using it.

For me, it has an instant effect but not for prolong use.

Dislikes
-The beads get quite annoying to use in the face
-Insufficient instruction
-The expiration date is hard to read.
