I was ashamed of my wrinkles – they disappeared with my new cream
A BUDGET-FRIENDLY face cream transformed one woman’s appearance after years of worrying about her premature wrinkles.
She previously considered cosmetic injections to rejuvenate her aging skin.
The 28-year-old woman revealed on Reddit’s Beauty forum that she has been struggling with fine lines on her face since she was 21.
WRINKLE WARRIOR
She confessed that she felt “super insecure” about the skin around her mouth and on her forehead.
“I don’t go out much and I always wear makeup with spf 50,” she wrote under the name Smokey Eye Cake.
“I have (what I THOUGHT was) a very intensive skin care routine that I’ve spent years perfecting because I break out in everything.
“I considered getting Botox, and I even researched how long you could wait before having a facelift, because I knew the lines would only become more pronounced over time.”
She kept staring at herself in the mirror, even as she tried to force herself to “make peace” with the fine lines.
But a simple change in her beauty routine suddenly solved the problem.
“I switched my moisturizer to Ponds and… boy… the lines are gone [crying],” she said.

“All those years that I was insecure, I was just THIRSTY.”
CREAM CRAZE
Redditors were surprised by the woman’s post and wondered which Ponds cream she used.
“Oooh I’m starting to get fine lines too and thinking about getting Botox too lmao,” someone wrote.
“I didn’t even think it was because I wasn’t hydrating enough, lol, which Pond’s are you talking about?”
“It was the one with the dry skin and the light blue lid!” the woman replied.
“Yasss! Ponds dry skin cream (blue lid) is amazing!” said one Redditor.
“My 89 year old grandmother has been using it for years and her skin is super soft.
“It doesn’t prevent wrinkles, but man, her skin is so amazingly soft. I love the way it sits under makeup. I can always count on it.”
“I love ponds cream!!” said another.
“I’ve been using it for over ten years and my mother has been using it her whole life. People consistently think she’s 15 years younger than she actually is.
“It’s so affordable and gives the skin a healthy glow after you apply it.”
