I use it to tissue off my makeup, then I apply again and warm cloth wash it off, then I pat dry, then I put it on as a night cream, and day cream. I'm sold on it. And BONUS: the price is unbeatable. I LOVE it. After years of Mark Kay and Merle Norman, and Clonique, I'm will never use anything else, I LOVE my ponds!
i use ponds cold cream after I wash my face with dove sensitive skin. then i wipe it off and put a little bit of jergens all purpose face cream when i go to bed and wake up with plump clean skin:)
There's a store on etsy that does various reproduction cosmetics including cold creams from Victorian and Edwardian eras and the 1700s. litttlebits.etsy.com as I recall.
I couldn't recommend them more highly! I love all their products, really (I'm a reenactor), but their cold creams are just the best! Adorable packaging, and there's rose, orange, and cucumber neroli scents. They're all great smelling and the cucumber neroli smells downright edible!
I have had really terrible skin since my youngest child was born, I tried everything and nothing helped. I was really frustrated because I had always had a nice complexion, even as a teen. Well your video got me into the cold cream isle and I had a light bulb moment, my mom grew up using Noxema, and I grew up using Noxema. Sure enough, within days my skin was perfection! My 54 year old Uncle also uses Noxema still to this day :) I had stopped using it because I had thought the tingle was an allergic reaction lol!
I make my own cold cream. I have extremely sensitive skin so most products give me allegories. It's super simple to make and it lasts up to six months. People should try making their own, it's super cheap and fun (if you like d.i.y.'s).
Good morning, I am italian, I use a special cold cream for very sensitive skin, Italian brand, I am very happy about it. Make up resist all the day, it is a glue.... No primer, no wasted money, a product for all. Thank you.
I have seen the light. I now only love non-foaming, soap-free cream cleansers like cold creams or any cleansing creams. I have oily acne prone skin too. Cleansing creams like cold creams clear the skin's blemishes up for some reason and your skin feels so, so beautiful! They even smooth out small tiny 'ice pick' scars from old acne :O. Cleansing milks are OK but only if they're very rich, heavy and creamy like the cleansing creams.
The preservative in the handmade cold cream could be making your skin tingle....I wish they would LIST what they use on their site!!! A preservative can be anything from an essential oil to ???? They are very easy to make yourself and I am making this my next homemade product to do list!! Thank you for your review!!!
I'm glad I finally decided to try cold cream. So far I've only used Pond's, but now I want to try a hand crafted one, or maybe even try making one myself! It's the only thing I use to clean my face- I swear by the stuff! I also learned that it's good for taking typewriter ribbon ink off of fingers!
I just started using the ponds cucumber cold cream, and I get a tingling from it but its not bothersome I'm loving it so far. I personally have extremely sensitive combination skin and rosacea so far ponds is the only thing not stripping my skin and over drying it. thx for the great video
I literally a couple of days ago discovered cold creams. I'm not sure why, I guess I have been living under a rock lol. I just bought some from the dollar tree. It's their version of the pond's original cold cream, and I love it! I love that it's like 3 things in one. A makeup remover, a facial cleanser, and a moisturizer. I haven't tried the ponds yet, but I definite want to. I'm also really wanting to try one of these home-made ones too! I love the vintage containers they come in. My mamaw was telling me about her using cold cream for removing makeup, and cleansing the face and what not. And she said that her mom, (my great grandma) used it too. I can't believe I'm just now discovering it! I'm never using those harsh makeup removing wipes again!
+Darci Stewart I hate those wipes! I am currently using Clarins Pure Melt cleansing gel, which has a water soluble Marula Oil in it, instead of cold cream, but that's just because it's free for me, as a Clarins girl. I'd miss it, but if I didn't have the option of it, I'd use ponds for sure!
+LisaFreemontStreet Awesome! Yeah those wipes are awful, now that I have tried cold cream. They're so harsh and rough on the face and don't get your face completely clean. Cold cream does!
I love this video! I use Jergens. I use it as a makeup remover, cleanser, and moisturizer. I have used it as a deep cleansing facial mask as well, though not routinely. I started using it every day a little more than a year ago. It has done a world of good for my impossibly sensitive skin. The reason I started using it was actually because before I started, my face cracked and peeled and it would hurt so bad when I slept that it started waking me up. That has not happened since.
When you first went blonde, I was like "No! Don't!" I just love red hair (was a redhead myself for ten years) and you were such a beautiful redhead but this blonde you have just suits you sooo well. It makes you look so youthful and ethereal. Its perfect.
The Ponds pink lid doesnt stay on my skin, I'm dark olive and as soon as I rub it gently over my face as a pre cleanse, it absorbs after 1-2 mins. I'm oily skinned!! I then use a warm muslin cloth to wipe my face. Boom! Marvelous first cleanse, all spf and makeup gone. The pink lid is lightly scented... parfum is last on the ingredients. I love it! I think its affordable compared to Etsy so I'm gonna keep using it! ❤
i really like this make up- nice to see something vintage but without the red lips. i have red hair and really pale skin and red lips look a bit OTT on me.
They say in some cases the tingle feeling you have on skin when you apply a skin product means it is working if there is no irritation afterwards , also you want a face cream to absorb otherwise it is pointless using it because like you mentioned it just sits on the surface and when a face cream or moisturiser stays on top of your skin then it wouldn't be effective to have any beneficial results. For a face cream to work it should penetrate.
I've tried Pond's just recently, and I, too, started by using a lot of it because my skin is usually dry as well. I tried using less than I did at first and found that it's easier to rub in.
the ponds cold cream is not the same that out granny's used, they changed the original recipe and have added all kinds of chemicals and it doesn't sink in anymore
You're right. I can't use the new Pond's because I'm allergic to parabens -- makes my eyes break out terribly. Was told by my dermatologist to avoid them. Wish they made the original formula.
Fred Allen I used pond's cold cream for a long while and it did really well for my acne. However, I think they changed the ingredients or something because suddenly I broke out like crazy *all* *over* my face. Then I used noxzema and it cleared up in about a week. Since then I've needed to switch to clean and clear, since noxzema gradually didn't clear my acne as well.
Exuviance Gentle Cleansing Creme is another option. I use it to remove my makeup and its moisturizing without being greasy. It's also fragrance free. Exuviance is a little more expensive than the clinique cleansing balm, but at 7.2 oz you get more for your money and it lasts a very long time.
Occlusive just means it sits on the surface of the skin. An "occlusion" is a blockage... or remember occlumency from Harry Potter? Haha. It just seals in the moisture that your skin already has. It doesn't actually clog pores. That's an old skin care myth ^_^
I did the same routine, cold cream then cleanser & then perhaps toner, all through my teens & twenties. Worked great, the original double cleanse! Then cold cream became difficult to find, & so I found other makeup removers. I think I will try that Vintage Doll brand, thanks!
You .... are me! I have such dry skin, I spent the morning trying to find a natural lotion but had to settle back with cetaphil. I have the most dry skin it’s always flaking and chapped AND if I don’t moisturize writhing 1 min of getting out of the shower, My skin gets red, stings and gets irritated. I NEED to buy this cold cream I’m sure it will work wonders! Thank you!!!!!!
Decided to pick up a cold cream a while ago and I have combination skin which is sometimes sensitive in certain areas a different times of the day year. I was surprised it's only £2.50 for so much compared to the other products near it. I heard only to use it in the winter which is why I have some more but it's great! Have to admit that for a few days after my skin gets more spots than usual and gets a little bit red but after a day or so it's all amazing and soft again :) Using again because my skin is overly sensitive for some reason and some anti spot face washes and scrubs I used made my face a bit dry and same with sensitive face wipes. So good and cheap
darlhow You're right, some skin can be sensitive to essential oils, but these particular products were unscented. So possibly she was sensitive to the olive or almond, etc. main ingredient oil used in the product with the water.
I use sukin derma moisturiser its a massive tub. Tend to use it maybe once maybe twice a week overnight as a sort of mask. Most sinks in and it gives a fine layer barrier sometimes in the morning depending on the season ill gently and lightly wipe off my skin in the morning but persobally my skin doesnt need to be cleansed morning and night so it also provides a great base for makeup and protection for my skin i just smother my face in sunscreen then apply bb cream or whatever else. At night i use an oil cleanser and give myself a face massage before i get in the shower and wash it off then in the shower ill brush my teeth wash my hair and then use a water based cleanser once im out of the shower i go sit down at my vanity and white my skin is still that damp plumpness from the shower i spray on a aha/bha toner which also works as a chemical exfoliant its gentle and then i use a hyularonic serum and then i apply a sukin daily mosituriser and eye cream if im not using the cold cream and then ill either lay down and relax on a neck roll giving my skin time to absorb before putting my face on the pillow or ill put on a sleeping mask or under eye mask if ive had a big day or am going to be doing something the next day like an event or special thing and want my skin to behave itself. Haha. If i wear heavy makeup i always do a clay sort of face mask after oil cleansing and then when i wash off the face mask ill use a water based cleanser to make sure i got it all off. I also make sure i get good sleep and do stretches morning and night cat stretches are the best for your neck and back but yeah not to mention i drink water constantly and besides cacao and milk i really dont drink anything besides water.
Maybe just plain plant oil could be good for acne prone skin, to avoid the mineral oil? Mineral oil is very occlusive and so can clog pores. In any case I just use coconut oil or almond oil and it's great for keeping blemishes at bay! Would love to give this a try though. Obsessed with your make up in this video!! Is there already a tutorial?
I am so excited for the skin care video. And I love your makeup in this video, tutorial please, or even what shadows are you wearing, it really is so pretty.
Hands down avene cold cream is the best! and it’s not only affordable but it’s also great for people who have sensitive skin. FYI I have combination skin. Plus it’s in a tube so I feel like that’s more cleaner than me putting my hands into the product but that’s just me
The "tingling" you experience may be a result of one ingredient. It may contain Borax ie, Sodium Borate which acts as a cleansing agent and was widely used/added to Cold Cream years ago. Many producers of Cold Cream stopped adding it as it was determined to be too harsh on dry and sensitive skin. I myself avoid any skin care that contains it since I have a sensitivity to it. Many people have no adverse reaction at all.
Hey :) Loved the video! Thought i'd comment as someone who adores cold cream and has combination skin thats both extremely dry (in winter) and a complete oil slick (in summer). Cold cream is honestly the only thing ive found that really does wonders. I use it on its own and wash it off with a flannel and warm water and then just before bed ill pop a teeny bit on areas where im extra dry and it makes my skin super soft, never breaks me out and ive noticed it takes a lot of the redness out too! x
I love my Ponds. The scent doesn't bother me but you're right it reminds me of an old lady haha And I've never actually thought of buying a handcrafted cold cream and I just might have to check into purchasing some or possibly making my own. :)
Oh my goodness Lisa! I've been binge watching your videos, and loving them. One serious problem though is about to give me a heart attack! I can't find Vintage Doll Cosmetics on Etsy! Have they disappeared?
It seems they have. :( There are other good homemade cold creams on Etsy as well and Clinique has a wonderful cleansing balm that I actually prefer to cold cream right now. :)
I never only tissue off cleansing creams and cold creams though I use a washcloth dipped in hot water to remove cold creams and similar cleansing creams.
You look lovely, and I'm going to give cold cream a try!!! Thanks so much for this video.....would you mind doing a tutorial on your look and/or share the makeup colors you used in this video?
The vintage doll has vitamin E. This is a known irritant (believe it or not)... The reason that handmade cold creams absorb is the type of oil they use. Some oils absorb into the skin (like coconut oil). Mineral oil, the main ingredient in the ponds cream, doesn't absorb into the skin. This is good or bad depending on what you want it to do. It means it won't moisturize the skin. But, it also means it is non-comedogenic. Some people break out from olive and coconut oils-- so some ladies beware!
It's not my favorite because all of the hand crafted cold creams I tried seem very similar. I like them all equally well. This is the best value I've had yet though...
Love your makeup in this video. If you aren't able to do a tutorial of it, could you please post the products you used on your blog or Instagram? I just love the eyeshadow color!
You look so lovely in this video . You hair and makeup is so pretty . So did I understand correctly that the Vintage Doll cold cream is unscented ? I love my Ponds cold cream , but the perfumed scent is so strong . I have bad allergies to scented products and perfume , so I would love to find an unscented cold cream . Thanks so much for posting this :)
I recently use Pond's cold cream because it is the only cold cream I could find in my hometown. However, I'm always worry about the mineral residual it may leave on my skin, which could make me breakout. Do you think a gentle cleanser like CeraVe could clear all the leftover oil from it? Cause that is what I use afterward. Or I need to use a micellar water?
Yes, is the perfect way to cleanse dry sensitive skin, even without makeup. Wash your face with it and use a warm cloth to remove it. You won't even have to follow up with moisturizer. I leaves your skin soooo soft.
you look so beautiful! i am now going to try cold cream after this review :) would love to see a tutorial on your look on this video :) keep up the awesome work!
![I followed a 1950s skincare routine for a week... [CC]](/img/n.gif)
I use it to tissue off my makeup, then I apply again and warm cloth wash it off, then I pat dry, then I put it on as a night cream, and day cream. I'm sold on it. And BONUS: the price is unbeatable. I LOVE it. After years of Mark Kay and Merle Norman, and Clonique, I'm will never use anything else, I LOVE my ponds!
Your hair makes you look like Cinderella
Mineral oil has many grades, one of which is cosmetic grade. It is refined and made just for cosmetics.
i use ponds cold cream after I wash my face with dove sensitive skin. then i wipe it off and put a little bit of jergens all purpose face cream when i go to bed and wake up with plump clean skin:)

I live for cold cream

Lush makes a cream cleanser called Ultra Bland. It's great.

I use the Queen Helene cleaning cream and I absolutely love it! :) Thanks for you video!
Oh I absolutely love cold cream and its variations, especially the Natio Gentle Cleansing Cream, it does wonders for my combination to oily skin type.
My grandma would buy cold cream for me when i first started wearing makeup and now I'm hooked :)
I love ponds cold cream it's my favorite makeup remover and nighttime cleanser 😉
Nivea was once my father's favorite. I use it as well.
Nivea is the bomb
i've been using cold cream for yrs good for dry skin and removing make up i also use it on the neck area !
Exuviance Gentle Cleansing Creme is another option. I use it to remove my makeup and its moisturizing without being greasy. It's also fragrance free. Exuviance is a little more expensive than the clinique cleansing balm, but at 7.2 oz you get more for your money and it lasts a very long time.

Ponds do two cold cream cleansers. One is the original the other is cucumber with a thinner consistency
I did the same routine, cold cream then cleanser & then perhaps toner, all through my teens & twenties. Worked great, the original double cleanse! Then cold cream became difficult to find, & so I found other makeup removers. I think I will try that Vintage Doll brand, thanks!
Your skin is gorgeous - can't wait to see your full skin care video. Also, love your eye makeup in this one.
Can you do a hair and make up tutorial for this look? I'm obsessed!

The tingling may be due to Essential Oils used in the cold cream.
darlhow that was what I was thinking.
darlhow You're right, some skin can be sensitive to essential oils, but these particular products were unscented. So possibly she was sensitive to the olive or almond, etc. main ingredient oil used in the product with the water.
There's no essential oils in ponds
My grandma said her mum used cold cream as a moisturiser right up until her final yeara and apparently had beautiful clear skin
You look like the woman in the black mirror episode *nosedive* love it!
Your make up and skin are flawless! :)
I have oily skin and still use cold cream just as you described and it works wonders
Yes this one is unscented but you can have scent added.
Omg, your hair and make up look amazing! Love love love!
I've been trying to achieve this makeup look and would greatly appreciate a tutorial. Even just a list of products to use. Pretty please! :)
Wow your hair color, you look stunning! Best hair color ever
I use sukin derma moisturiser its a massive tub. Tend to use it maybe once maybe twice a week overnight as a sort of mask. Most sinks in and it gives a fine layer barrier sometimes in the morning depending on the season ill gently and lightly wipe off my skin in the morning but persobally my skin doesnt need to be cleansed morning and night so it also provides a great base for makeup and protection for my skin i just smother my face in sunscreen then apply bb cream or whatever else. At night i use an oil cleanser and give myself a face massage before i get in the shower and wash it off then in the shower ill brush my teeth wash my hair and then use a water based cleanser once im out of the shower i go sit down at my vanity and white my skin is still that damp plumpness from the shower i spray on a aha/bha toner which also works as a chemical exfoliant its gentle and then i use a hyularonic serum and then i apply a sukin daily mosituriser and eye cream if im not using the cold cream and then ill either lay down and relax on a neck roll giving my skin time to absorb before putting my face on the pillow or ill put on a sleeping mask or under eye mask if ive had a big day or am going to be doing something the next day like an event or special thing and want my skin to behave itself. Haha.
If i wear heavy makeup i always do a clay sort of face mask after oil cleansing and then when i wash off the face mask ill use a water based cleanser to make sure i got it all off. I also make sure i get good sleep and do stretches morning and night cat stretches are the best for your neck and back but yeah not to mention i drink water constantly and besides cacao and milk i really dont drink anything besides water.
Maybe just plain plant oil could be good for acne prone skin, to avoid the mineral oil? Mineral oil is very occlusive and so can clog pores. In any case I just use coconut oil or almond oil and it's great for keeping blemishes at bay! Would love to give this a try though. Obsessed with your make up in this video!! Is there already a tutorial?
I just have to tell you that you're hair color is gorgeous! It's beautiful on you!
but do you really want a cold cream to absorb into your skin with all the makeup you're removing?? that sounds kind of not a good thing. lol
I love boots cold cream and Lush. I also use it as precleanse.
I am so excited for the skin care video. And I love your makeup in this video, tutorial please, or even what shadows are you wearing, it really is so pretty.
Thanks for the request. :) I am wearing Orly Gumdrop with Sally Hansen Gentle Blossom over the top.
mineral oil isnt that comedogenic btw! so if anyone is worried (unless you know for sure mineral oil clogs your pores) you should be ok!
Hands down avene cold cream is the best! and it’s not only affordable but it’s also great for people who have sensitive skin. FYI I have combination skin. Plus it’s in a tube so I feel like that’s more cleaner than me putting my hands into the product but that’s just me
I love how you do your make up here and hair, I love Ponds works for me and it is not oily leaves my skin soft clean :)
That birth control joke was FUNNY
I am sure she'll tell you without hesitation. That's the great thing about Etsy.
My grandma used Noxzema and I've used that to clean my face since I was a kid. I also use other cleansers on my face.
It's so easy to make. I used to make my own cold cream and then put some in natural soap I make.

I like the Star Wars outro! I also associate the smell of Pinesol with cleanliness :)

can u use it just a a cleanser, since I don't wear makeup?
Daniela yes
After using cold cream other makeup removers haven't even crossed my mind
i just started using ponds anti wrinkle cream. i have oily skin but damn this stuff is great
rose and lavender extract cause tingling. Do they include either of those ingredients?
I love my Ponds. The scent doesn't bother me but you're right it reminds me of an old lady haha And I've never actually thought of buying a handcrafted cold cream and I just might have to check into purchasing some or possibly making my own. :)
Your nails match the Pond's cold cream container :)
Oh my goodness Lisa! I've been binge watching your videos, and loving them. One serious problem though is about to give me a heart attack! I can't find Vintage Doll Cosmetics on Etsy! Have they disappeared?
It seems they have. :( There are other good homemade cold creams on Etsy as well and Clinique has a wonderful cleansing balm that I actually prefer to cold cream right now. :)
Thanks! Have an awesome holiday season!
I just started using Jergens All-Purpose face cream last night. Queen Helene makes one I want to try but it is $7 at Sally’s.
I never only tissue off cleansing creams and cold creams though I use a washcloth dipped in hot water to remove cold creams and similar cleansing creams.

Mineral oil, the main ingredient in the ponds cream, doesn't absorb into the skin. This is good or bad depending on what you want it to do. It means it won't moisturize the skin. But, it also means it is non-comedogenic. Some people break out from olive and coconut oils-- so some ladies beware!
Yesss I sware by ponds cold cream cleanser it works great for moisturizing and clearing up my skin
Oh my gosh I love your hair the color is perfect for you.
The cold cream here in Norway also has a bunch of vitamin A in it
Your videos are always so interesting. Love them.
It's not my favorite because all of the hand crafted cold creams I tried seem very similar. I like them all equally well. This is the best value I've had yet though...
I like to use the Ponds Cold Cream. Just wondering when I use it, am I supposed to wash my face after or just go in with a moisturizer?
I got it from a gal named Ursula who used to hve a shop called The Darling Plum on Etsy. I think she closed though. :(
You voice is so soothing :)
new subbie~
I tried to look up that cold cream, I don't think she sells it anymore.
+Jessica Tubby yes I know...it's frustrating. But there are many other hand crafted cold creams on etsy
Love your makeup in this video. If you aren't able to do a tutorial of it, could you please post the products you used on your blog or Instagram? I just love the eyeshadow color!
What cleanser do you use after you use the cold cream? Great video btw!
was he dollar store brand scented ? If not , do you mind telling me what it's called ? Thanks :)
Could you please do a hair tutorial? I love this, especially the fringe!
I just came across your channel and immediately had to subscribe. You're so gorgeous and have such a warm personality!
Yes anyone of any age...:)
You look so lovely in this video . You hair and makeup is so pretty . So did I understand correctly that the Vintage Doll cold cream is unscented ? I love my Ponds cold cream , but the perfumed scent is so strong . I have bad allergies to scented products and perfume , so I would love to find an unscented cold cream . Thanks so much for posting this :)
Very interesting thank you. Will look forward to seeing your skincare routine. Have a good day x
@jennifer Nelson, you're so right. I've found some hidden gems there and then some epic fails as well.
I recently use Pond's cold cream because it is the only cold cream I could find in my hometown. However, I'm always worry about the mineral residual it may leave on my skin, which could make me breakout. Do you think a gentle cleanser like CeraVe could clear all the leftover oil from it? Cause that is what I use afterward. Or I need to use a micellar water?
My skin is combo. But so bipolar and I never know if it will be dry and sensitive. Can I use this as a cleanser just by itself? I don't wear makeup
Yes, is the perfect way to cleanse dry sensitive skin, even without makeup. Wash your face with it and use a warm cloth to remove it. You won't even have to follow up with moisturizer. I leaves your skin soooo soft.
you look so beautiful! i am now going to try cold cream after this review :) would love to see a tutorial on your look on this video :) keep up the awesome work!
I wish could give this a go! Sadly, waxes break me out. Oh well. Thanks for the review, though, it was really interesting :)
Your hair looks gorgeous!
