Last week I visited the POND’s Institute to check out the brands latest innovation in anti-aging technology; the new POND’s Age Miracle with a Retinol-C Complex.
Those who read my blog regularly will know that I’m the biggest proponent of including a retinol formulation in your skin – especially if you’re over 35 yrs of age. Retinol works to gently remove dead surface skin cells, thereby speeding up cell turnover, boosting collagen production, reducing fine lines and wrinkles and helping to minimise discolouration. It’s an ingredient you WANT in your skincare.
You’re probably wondering, what is a Retinol-C Complex exactly?
The new POND’s Retinol-C Complex provides the powerful anti-ageing efficacy of Retinol, without the side effects on the skin – making it the perfect balance between efficacy and stability. The beauty of the Retinol-C Complex, is that it allows consumers to have the same gold standard as Retinol, but much milder. This Complex delivers double the lifting power, while releasing powerful anti-ageing actives continuously throughout the day to plump and firm skin. It has been clinically proven to reduce signs of ageing like wrinkles and fine lines within the first week of usage. By strengthening skin from the inside, new POND’s Age Miracle builds the foundation for the appearance of smooth, firm skin with youthful radiant appearance.
As per usual, I had a LOT of questions!
Through extensive research, The POND’s Institute has discovered that as women begin to mature in their late 30s, their skin can lose up to 30% of its strength! This results in lines and wrinkles, sagging and dull, uneven skin tone (especially in darker skins).
The newly formulated POND’s Age Miracle™ range is specifically designed to address these issues and it works to effectively plump and lift skin. The brand claims that a difference can be seen in just 7 days.
With this new range, POND’s have also introduced their first oil-in-cream formulation with the POND’s Intensive Wrinkle Corrector. This luxuriously rich cream is infused with nourishing Marula, Argan, Rosehip, Sweet Almond, and Jojoba Seed oils to keep skin beautifully hydrated.
The newly reformulated POND’s Age Miracle™ range includes a full spectrum of products, all designed to create an easy-to-follow, yet perfectly self-indulgent regime fit for the #Unstoppable woman.
The range includes:
I can’t wait to put this range to the test and see if the products live up to their claims (watch this space).
POND’s have also just revealed actress, radio DJ and Boom Shaka singer Thembi Seete as the official brand ambassador and the face of the NEW POND’s Age Miracle™ range. I have very fond memories of Thembi when I styled her for a True Love cover back in the early 2000’s. She was such a pleasure to work with and a consummate professional. I’ve been a fan since.
“I am beyond honoured to represent the NEW POND’s Age Miracle range. To be associated with a brand that is relevant to South African woman and has such a rich and vast heritage in our country, is a dream come true for me,” commented Thembi. “Getting older has many contrasting effects: although the future is uncertain, growing older is the source of strength that helps me face that future. And with NEW POND’s Age Miracle you can be certain that your skin stays as strong as you are. You get better with age, so make sure your skin keeps up with you.”
The range is also supported by radio and television personality Zuraida Jardine (who I adore), actress Sonia Mbele, and 5FM DJ Sureshnie Rider (one of the kindest and nicest women in radio).
Tell me, have you ever tried POND’s products before, and are you keen to try this range?
