If you're looking for an affordable, and effective makeup remover, stick around I have something I want to tell you about. In all honesty, if I would have seen this on the shelves, I would have never picked this up on my own. I heard about it through the blogging community. It's not a product that you hear about frequently but it has been around for so long. It's a "tried an true" product that I wanted to test out. I've been using this for about a month, and let me tell you- it works. At the end of the day, I want a makeup remover that will remove my makeup, not burn my eyes and leave my skin feeling hydrated and not stripped. This cold cleanser does all of the above. I wash my hands, take a small amount of the cream out of the pot and apply it to my face. I massage the cream into my skin, around my eyes and the makeup melts away. I use a polyester cold to wipe it away, and then I wash my face as usual. It's so quick, easy and no panda eyes in the morning.

I'm quickly learning that I like balms and cream cleansers to remove my makeup over other cleansers. I've tried oils, and micellar waters-  both have not worked for me. I refuse to use makeup wipes, it's too expensive and I haven't found any that I really liked. Oils feel messy, and micellar waters burn my eyes.  If the Pond's Cold Cream feels a little too thick, I quickly dip my hand under the faucet to add a little bit of water to thin it out. My skin feels so hydrated and refreshed when I'm done. As a first step to remove my makeup, I couldn't ask for more. It does it's job wonderfully. It does have a slight scent to it, but nothing that would bother me and I'm very sensitive to scents.
