A BUDGET-FRIENDLY face cream transformed one woman’s appearance after years of worrying about her premature wrinkles.
She was previously considering getting cosmetic injections to rejuvenate her aging skin.
The 28-year-old revealed on Reddit’s Beauty forum that she’s had fine lines on her face since around the age of 21.
She confessed to having felt “super self-conscious” of the skin around her mouth and on her forehead.
“I don’t go outside much and I always wear makeup with 50 spf,” she said, writing under the handle Smokeyeyepie.
“I have (what I THOUGHT was) a really intensive skincare routine that took years of perfecting since everything breaks me out.
“I’d considered Botox, I even researched the earliest you can get a facelift because I knew over time these lines would only get more prominent.”
She would stare at herself in the mirror even when trying to force herself to “make peace” with the fine lines.
However, a simple swap in her beauty routine suddenly got rid of the issue.
“I switched out my moisturizer for Ponds and…guys…the lines are gone [crying],” she said.
“All these years of being insecure and my skin was just THIRSTY.”
Redditors were amazed by the woman’s post and curious to find out which Ponds cream she used.
“Oooh I am beginning to have fine lines too and am also thinking I should get Botox lmao,” one person wrote.
“I didn’t even consider it’s because I don’t moisturize enough lol, which Pond’s are you talking about?”
“It was the dry skin one with the light blue lid!” the woman replied.
“Yasss! Ponds dry skin cream (blue lid) is amazing!” a Redditor said.
“My 89-year-old grandma has been using it forever, and her skin is the softest.
“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!!” another said.
“I’ve been using it for over ten years and my mom has used it all her life, people consistently guess she’s 15 years younger than she actually is.
“It’s so affordable and gives the skin such a healthy glow after you apply it.”
