History

Pond's Cream was invented in the United States as a medicine by scientist Theron T. Pond (?-
1852) in 1846. Mr. Pond extracted a healing tea from witch hazel, with which he discovered he
could heal small cuts and other ailments. Soon after, the product would be known as "Pond's
Extract". [1][2]

In 1846, the "T.T. Pond Company" was formed, with Pond and other business people as
investors. Theron Pond's health was failing, however, so he sold his portion of the company soon
after, and he died in 1852.

The company then moved to Connecticut and later to New York City.

In 1886, Pond's began to advertise nationally. They would, however, advertise under the name of
Pond's Healing until 1910.

By the twentieth century, the company's main strategy was geared towards selling cosmetics
products, and so the "Pond's Vanishing Cream" and the "Pond's Cold Cream" were created,
marking the entrance of Pond's products into the facial care industry. Today Ponds is sold around
the world. Its strengths are in Spain, India, Japan and Thailand.

[edit] The 1910s

Pond's vanishing cream print advertisement, 1910

By 1910, Pond's was a well established brand among Americans. Concentrating mostly on their
vanishing cream, the Pond's company began an ad campaign that would become notorious
because of the celebrities involved in it. "Pond's Healing" took a back seat to "Pond's Vanishing
Cream", as "Pond's Healing" and "Pond's Cold Cream" would be announced in small print under
the "Pond's Vanishing Cream" advertisements. [3]

By 1914, mentions of "Pond's Healing" were taken off the ads, and the Pond's company began to
advertise "Pond's Vanishing Cream" and "Pond's Cold Cream" together, making sure to explain
each cream's different purposes on the new ads. One particular ad line read "Every normal skin
needs these two creams".
As a result of the new campaign, "Pond's Vanishing Cream" had a 60% increase in sales during
1915, and "Pond's Cold Cream" had a 27% increase.[citation needed]

[edit] The 1920s

By 1922, sales of the products had gone down, as many believed that such an easily available
product could not perform as well as other, "designer" products. Because of this, the Pond's
Company then targeted Royalty, politicians and people of high class stature to become
advertisers for the company. In addition, these ads were printed in magazines such as Vogue and
others, to give customers a feeling that they really were getting a quality product for a fair price.

In 1923, Queen Marie of Romania visited the United States, and she enjoyed the product so
much that in 1925 she wrote to the Pond's Company requesting more supplies. Her letter was, in
turn, used for advertisement, and Her Majesty joined the list of celebrities who had previously
sponsored the products.

Around the time of Queen Marie's visit to the United States, the Pond's Company began to place
samples of their products at their magazine ads, and the characters of "Peter" and "Polly Ponds"
were created, as part of their campaign to entice normal people into buying their cream again.
The marketing strategies proved successful, as sales of the Pond's facial creams went up again.

"Peter" and "Polly Ponds" disappeared from the company's ad campaigns after 1925.

[edit] The 1930s

During the Depression Era of the 1930s, the company's business slowed down somewhat.
However, the Pond's company expanded slowly, adding Face Powder and Angel Face products.

[edit] First merger

Pond's Company was merged in 1955 with the Chesebrough Manufacturing Company, which
had a good percentage of brands in the facial care field. With this merger, "Pond's Creams"
would become sisters with the Cutex nail polish brand and the Matchabelli perfumes. [4][5]

With the Chesebrough Manufacturing Company in command, "Pond's Creams" became available
at many supermarkets across the United States. The creams' bottles consisted of small, glass
bottles with a round cap.[6] The bottles could be recognized by their distinctive colors, usually in
green, blue or white. That bottle design is still in use by the Pond's brand.

[edit] Second merger

In 1987, the Chesebrough Manufacturing Company by most known as "Chesebrough-Ponds",

was acquired by Anglo-Dutch company Unilever, giving "Pond's Creams" a more international
reach.[7] Then 14% of the company was subsequently traded privately to Bhosle Group of
Industries for an undisclosed amount of money.

Pond’s Oil & Blemish Control Beauty Color Powder

Purpose
I must admit, I’m not a huge fan of Pond’s. It’s not that there’s anything wrong with it. It’s
simply a brand that I don’t use often. When I’m shopping for beauty products, I tend to pick
Olay, Dove, or Nivea over Pond’s. In fact, Pond’s Oil & Blemish Control Beauty Color
Powder is the only thing I have in my closet from Pond’s, and it wasn’t me who put it there. My
mom made me use it. Ouch!

Pond’s Beauty Color Powder line comes in three different colors: blue, pink, and tan. The blue
powder gives an even, porcelain shimmer, the pink powder gives your face a nice blush, while
the tan powder gives off a bright, bronze finish –  all while controlling the oils in your face and
preventing pimples and blackheads. The back description of the blue powder claims:

Long Lasting Control

Contains Derma Silk Mattifiers that give long lasting oil control that leaves your face shine-free.

Prevents Pimples and Blackheads

Has Bactistat that fights blemish-causing bacteria, so your face stays beautifully clear.

Gives a Fairer, Porcelain White Shimmer

Blended with fine Bluish Pearl Powder from our European Colour Palette, designed to balance
out uneven skin tone to give you that effortlessly fairer, porcelain white shimmer.

Whew! With all those fancy words, this thing has to work, right? Well, we’ll just have to see!

First off, the packaging makes the product resemble that of talcum or baby powder. It’s
interesting to note that they didn’t just package it as a loose powder, which is what it really is.
The packaging however makes for more convenient use. Simply slide the top, pour some on your
hand, and pat your face. Perfect for the girl on the go! Although this method tends to distribute
the product unevenly on the face. Personally, I pour the powder on a small container and use a
powder brush to apply it. Takes a bit more work, but it gives better results.

As for the finish, it does even out my skin tone a bit. The blue powder blends in perfectly with
my fair skin while neutralizing my yellow undertones, but what I love the most is how it
eliminates shine. It also sets my foundation nicely. While the purpose of the product is to control
oil and prevent pimples, I find it to be a great alternative for face powder. As for oil control, I
find that it’s not as long lasting as it claims. My face looks pretty good for a few hours, but after
that time I see a bit of shine on my face. As this product wasn’t completely meant to be make-up,
I assume it was made to be reapplied regularly. But that’s nothing too awful to gripe about.

Overall, I’m satisfied with Pond’s Oil & Blemish Control Beauty Color Powder. It pretty much
delivers everything I need in a powder: eleminates shine, evens out my skin tone, and sets my
foundation. It’s definitely a product worth trying. Unfortunately, I’ve only seen it here in the
Philippines. I hope someone can correct me, but I don’t think the sell beauty color powder in the
US. But don’t fret! There’s always Seafood City and good ol’ Internet to shop for overseas
products
