POND'S Dark Spot Corrector Clarant B3 Normal to Oily Skin, 7 Ounce (Pack of 2)

It works more than fine, I’d even say almost great. If you have oily or combo skin as many of us- -including myself- - do, rest assured; it will NOT cause any further breakouts nor will it make your look any more like an oiled-up greaseball than you already do. Not only will it keep your face’s moisture levels decently balance but it WILL help diminish post acne marks and scars to clear up your skin tone and even out your complexion. It smells somewhat strong, but it’s not a bad smell... it’s just very much so “present.” Again, it really isn’t bad at all. It smells very clean but an also concentrated formula, like one of those mighty advanced therapy lotions for skin so dry it cracks. Think Lubriderm, or Goldbond.It acts almost as a primer does, in that it improves the appearance and texture of your skin by smoothing out and blurring it’s porous natural state, putting down the foundation for a great canvas (on which to apply your actual makeup foundation xD). It gives your face a definite matte, almost powdery finish and leaves you smelling fresh albeit also feeling almost moist, which of your skin is on the dry side I can’t imagine this being a downside.It’s effect far surpass that of its similarly priced counterparts at the drugstore level and even the higher end ones beyond. I’m by no means touting it as some sort of over the counter miracle worker, or as an end-all-be-all, but it more than gets the job done and damn good, too. You can NOT beat the value of this at the price it’s at. It may not be the best out there but it’s better than a lot of the others, you have nothing to lose by just giving it a try. It might take a while, but with time it’ll moisturize for overall semi-permanent results and it’ll remove many a spot and a mark as the weeks go on. I think I’ve been using this since I was at least 13. As the battle with my skin issues continue into my young adulthood, I can only think that there must be a reason I keep coming back to this cream. I have to say that it works. Slowly and overtime, but it works. (Not to mention that me deciding to still give it a 5-star rating despite the fact I only got half of what I payed for is an action that speaks for itself.)

Ok product

I had can’t growing up and every so often I’ll get a pimple. This totally evens out my skin, no more dark scars or sun spots. It’s not greasy at all, I always make sure to get the one for normal to oily skin. It works wonders!

So, first I will say, normally I buy the Ponds Dark Spot Correcting Cream for DRY skin. This 2 pack for OILY skin was on sale, so I thought I’d give it a try!DIFFERENCES:Scent: Dry has a nice scent, and Oily has a nice scent. They’re different, but I slightly prefer the Dry scent. The Dry scent it more “fresh” where as the Oily scent is more “perfumey”.Texture: The Dry one is more of a liquid, a thinner lotion texture. The Oily one is thicker, and has an airy, buttery texture.Now to focus on just this product: The Oily Skin Version!PROS: It has a nice scent, and it rubs into the skin very nicely. It feels good on my skin!CONS: My ONLY complaint is that I can’t wear makeup on top of it. This version dries on the skin nicely, but if you try to put foundation on your skin afterward, it will sit really weird, separate funny, and just look super bad. The Ponds Cream for Dry Skin doesn’t leave the same sort of texture on my skin, so I am able to put makeup right on top of it with ease.Overall I like this cream, and will continue to use it! I will just use it on a bare face, and not put makeup on top of it. In the future, because of my own personal preference, I will probably buy the version made for dry skin instead, but this one is still a good product.

It removed certain spots I had on my face and I still use it today.

I am 52 and have dark spots on my face from a combination of sun damage and scars from ongoing skin irritations (that I have been dealing with for years). I also have (had!) noticeably darker skin on both sides of my neck from sun damage, my neck has looked 2-toned for years (the center was much lighter due to my chin shadowing it, I guess). Literally after 1 DAY of using Clarant B3 AntiDark cream, the sides of my neck were lighter. I have been using it twice a day for about 10 days now and my neck is pretty much the same tone everywhere, as if that damage never happened!! My spots/scars are also much less noticeable but not gone completely, which is certainly good enough for me. I will keep using it to hopefully continue the lightening of the scars but I am already more than satisfied with the results I've had so far. I like the texture of the cream, it does absorb quickly and I have no issue at all with the smell - not strong or offensive at all, in my opinion. I did experience some pimply looking bumps around my chin the 1st few days but as long as I don't overdo it (meaning using it more than twice a day, which I did try...) the bumps stay away. I am very happy to have found this product.
