Review: Pond’s White Beauty Pearl Cleansing Gel + OOTD

March 5, 2015 / 107 Comments
What? Pond’s White Beauty Pearl Cleansing Gel (Facial Wash)
How much does it cost? 155php/100g 
Where to buy? Zalora, Watson’s, Mercury Drug, SM Beauty and other leading department stores (It’s FREE on SampleRoom.ph for a limited time)

Before anything else, I can’t stress enough how much I’m in love with Pond’s Dewy Rose Gel as my night-time moisturizer for my face. It feels very much like those Korean night sleeping packs except this one is much cheaper and gives a rosy and dewy glow the longer you use it. You can see it’s effect in as little as 2 weeks. Enough about the gel and let’s talk about it’s partner. The Pond’s White Beauty Pearl Cleansing Gel.
Finally! They came up with the perfect partner to pair with our favorite dewy rose gel.

Random Chat: I told myself I won’t be writing any blogs today, but both my mind and hands were itching to write. As if it’s needed to be done. I was actually planning to relax by watching game walkthroughs of The Last of Us on YouTube. Do you guys know that game? How are you by the way?

INGREDIENTS

Water, Sodium Laureth Sulfat, Glycerin (keeps moisture!), Acrylates, Copolymer, Cocamidopropyl Betain, Cocamide MEA, Perfume, Sodium Chloride (cleanser! oxygenated!), Sodium Hydroxide (cleansing oxygen!), Tetrasodium EDTA, Niacinamide (Vitamin B3 for whitening), PPG-9, Hydrolized Pearl (whitening agent), Xanthan Gum, Lactic Acid, Potassium Sorbate.

WHAT THEY PROMISE

  • fresher rosy white glow
  • great for sensitive skin
  • deeply cleanses without drying skin
See the bubbles? Those are the oxygen. It smells really good too! Like fresh roses. I love love love the smell on my skin. However, it is not as foamy as other facial wash. It doesn’t make plenty of lather but that’s good. The lather was made up by scientists to make us feel that the soap is cleaning our skin. But actually, we don’t need the suds to cleanse the face. I guess that’s why Pond’s Pearl Cleansing Gel is perfect for sensitive skin. My full review and thoughts at the end of the post.

I was invited by Sample Room and Zalora on both launches of the product. Both require me to wear white. I prefer my OOTD on the Sample Room event where I had loads of fun with other beauty bloggers.

Off Shouler Top: Divisoria (LOL)

Lace Shorts: Blind Clothing (instagram)
Red Studded Peep-toes: Payless Shoe Store

Instead of listening, I was too busy taking photos. LOL
Thanks Earth for the photo! I like showing off my tattoo all the time HAHAHAHAHA

With Rochelle, Earth, Kath-neko, Donnarence, and Jessa! They’re not on the photo but Donnarence, Earth, Gemma, Tellie and I grabbed a couple of beers at Bugsy’s after the event. It was super fun and I hope we get to do that again (attention RHEA BUE! Join us next time!)

REVIEW

What I love about Pond’s products is that they’re backed with science. They’re not just some company who makes false claims about so and so without any proof. During the event they made a demo on how Pond’s Pearl Cleansing Gel is really gentle to our skin by dipping a special kind of paper. One on ordinary soap, and one with Pond’s the one with Pond’s didn’t get damaged. See photo below.
  • It cleanses really well. I know so because I tried to swipe some toner after washing my face and it ran through clean.
  • It doesn’t dry my skin. My face feels so soft and bouncy after washing. 
  • It smells so good!
  • It’s effective in helping achieve that rosy white glowy complexion. I was frustrated days before because I noticed how dry my skin has become. I’m super thankful that I got to try Pond’s Pearl Cleansing gel!
  • Perfect for sensitive skin. It cleanses ever so gently so you don’t need to worry. This is the perfect whitening facial wash for girls with sensitive skin.

NO FREAKING FILTER. I’m having red-eye during the time of this photo or was I teary eyed? Can you see how radiant and glowy my skin is. My usual problem now is that my skin gets dry all the time from using whitening soap bars. I’m addicted to using Pond’s Pearl Cleansing Gel because it cleans so well but it doesn’t leave my skin taut. Trust me, if ever I run out, I’ll buy a new tube all the time. (I was a fan of their charcoal whitening range before)

    Thanks a lot for the reviews! Nice to have a lot of choices. I really need to lose some weight, so this is the most healthy way along with exercise. I did try Fitness Gourmet and Gourmet Guys (expensive but got a discounted voucher) and both were delicious – preferred Fitness Gourmet though because the portions were more filling than Gourmet Guys. I will try the others as well.

    Please review Weigh To Go Ph. I think this meal delivery service is owned or co-owned by Chef Rosebud Benitez whom I watched on TV in some cooking show a few years back.

    Hi Miss K, i've been using the ishigaki premium for a week now then i developed 2 cystic acne on my chin (lumiit na din nmn) and i got rashes on my face as well (parang mga pantal na maliliit pero nawawala din nmn). Are these signs for me to stop using it or nasa phase ako ng "purging"? =)

    Hi, Kat! Thank you for the review. This was really helpful. One question though: Did you have to take Vitamin C supplements with these pills? Some gluta pills already contain Vit. C, but I read Ishi Premium's specs, and it's not one of those. Hope Yoi can shed some light on this. Thank you!

    Hi Miss Kat. How are you? I hope you're doing well. Matagal ko nang nirereview mga post mo and I really admire kasi you share them. Nag-try ako ng SnowCaps because of you and I really like the outcome kasi naging makinis muka ko and mas naging maputi pa talaga ako. Pero I wanted to try yung iba naman kasi alam ko mild lang ang SnowCaps. I wanted a rosy white and yung makinis talaga skin. Just want to ask something kasi it really confused me. Which you think is more better? Authentic Relumins Advanced White Oral Whitening Formula Capsule (Maximum Strength? or Ishigaki Premium? Or Ishigaki L-Gluta? Please please please. I need your answer! Sayo po kasi ako nagdedepend. Thank you so much! Sana mapansin mo 'to. Thank you Miss Kat.

    Sa relumins, I got the "putla white"
    for Ishi Advanced I got "yellow white" for Ishi premium "normal white"

    How much is your budget? If it's tight, I reco, ishi premium, pero if you have budget MET is actually good!

    Hi Miss Kat. I trust you pag dating sa pag take ng gluta capsules. I am planning to buy ishi premium after holy week. First time ko pong mag t-take ng gluta and based sa lahat ng review mo about gluta caps e ishi yung maganda ang kaya ng budget. Maputi na ko pero gusto ko talaga pumantay kulay ko and pumuti ung extremities ko. Tanong ko lang po sa first bottle po kaya may difference na kong makikita? Legit din po kaya ung sa cheskasstore? Nabobother lang ako ang mura kasi niya. Ayun thank you Ate Kat I hope you'll notice my post. Have a good day!

    Hi Miss Kat! I was searching for Gluta brands and I came across your blog. I really enjoy reading it kasi very informative! Anyway, I have some personal questions lang. I'm 19 years old and I haven't tried any Gluta products yet. My current complexion is medium brown and I really want to have white skin. I see you had great results in Ishigaki and Relumins. Which one can you recommend for me? 🙂 Hoping for your response po. Thank you so much and more power! 🙂

    tried Ishigaki Premium,, on my 4th bottle.. di sya ganun ka-effective sa akin,, very minimal glow or natural glow lang ng balat ko yung nakikita ko. di pansinin yung effect nya gaya nung ibang nagamit ko.. sayang ang pera ko…

  • mykpando .

    June 1, 2015 at 4:58 am Reply

    pag na-achieve nyo na po yung lightening effect nya,, kailangan i-continue. kailangan maging part na sya ng daily routine mo,, if you wanna see the continuous progress sa whitening..

    Hi, you are my no. 1 blogger when it comes to glutathione reviews. I also venture the glutathione market but check first reviews such as yours before trying it. My 1st time use of ishigaki was a success but my 2nd bottle wasnt something that I expected.I turned dark so I immediately stop. Hay same seller naman ako pinagbilihan. I hope you can suggest a good one. Thanks

    Talaga sis? Geez.. thanks for this. I actually stopped taking Ishi na since 3 months ago. I'm taking snow caps as of now. Hanggang July na lang contract ng agelessbeautypotion sa banner sa taas, naka 1 yr kasi sya. Hindi ko na lang irerenew. Sayang credibility ng blog ko.

    Actually sis, ok yung 1st bottle ko sa kanila so I tried my 2nd bottle sa kanila din. Then ayun paitim kami ng paitim:(
    Binabasa ko muna reviews mo before I try the brand. I know kasi honest ka when it comes to your reviews. Yung vitapack sis,ok talaga and now I am taking snow caps. Medyo bumabalik na kulay namin. Hope to read more of your reviews sis.

    Hi Good Day! because of your blog, I decided to give Ishi a try but it's too late na coz i bought Ishi Advance instead of Ishi Premium. Ngaun ko lang kasi talaga nabasa ng buo ung mga comments/feedback. I check agelessbeauty website last week but it's out of stock. so nakita ko ung Ishi sa Lazada.. Now I have one. Eto un Ishigaki Advanced Ultrawhite L-Glutathione 1000mg Capsules Bottle of 60. Sana hindi naman magyellowish ung skin ko.

    Question, 1 cap is recommended daily but I was wondering if it would be better if I take 2 caps daily since I'm morena and I smoke pa. Would that make the effects faster/better or same lang and masasayang lang kung 2 caps? Thank you!
