Best Moisturizer For Oily Skin: Ponds Light Gel

If I tell you the benefits of moisturizing and hydrating your skin, you wouldn't be surprised. We start to understand the importance of a hydrating layer on our skin in our teenage years.

The beauty market is crammed with moisturizers, both good and not so good. However, when we come across a moisturizer that is everything we dream of: "Non-greasy yet hydrating", the cost makes our eyes pop out. You may find a prince but finding a good moisturizer is much harder. But hey, that is why we are here for. We have found a recent beauty market entrant that checks all the boxes for a moisturizing cream. Lo and behold, it is Ponds gel moisturizer, our knight in shining blue box..:D

Let us look at the important details of this product or shall I say, review it !!

Packaging

This moisturizing cream comes in a blue plastic container/tub and an outer cardboard packaging. The container is really sturdy and does not break easily. When you first open the lid of the container, you will see the silver seal and if that is absent, then you shouldn't buy it. However, I personally would like it more if the container was a pump bottle or something similar because when you take the product out using your fingers, there is a risk of contamination.

My Experience

I'm one of those people who experience sliding of makeup, thanks to the oil residing on my skin. There was no way I could manage moisturizers even though they are not to be skipped. In summers, the situation worsens. I came across this product when I was browsing a website. I purchased it immediately because of the affordable price and it turned out to be the best decision I've ever made for my skin. It leaves a hydrating glow on the face and is not greasy at all. However, you might want to skip it in winters because hyaluronic acid dries out the skin in winters/dry seasons.
