Something New: Ponds Gold Radiance

Months ago, I got a dinner invite from Ponds that served as a sort of soft launch for their new skin care line:

Pond’s Gold Radiance is the first Pond’s product which has real gold micro particles. These gold micro particles is blended with Pond’s patented anti-aging ingredients which in harmony fights dullness and recaptures youthful radiance and gives instant glow to the skin.

Facial Foam, has rich creamy formula with luxurious lather designed for aging skin. Gently exfoliates to reveal youthful radiance. Php 249/ 100g

Day Cream, proven to lift away dullness and reveal skin's youthful radiance. With SPF 15 PA++ for sun protection. Use daily in the morning. Php 799/ 50g

Serum, has 50x more real gold microparticles than the day cream. It helps boost skin radiance to give instant glow on the skin and has Vitamin B3 proven to reduce age spots. Php799/ 30ml

Eye cream, refreshes tired eyes and diminishes puffiness and dark circles to make eyes look instantly brighter and younger. Php 699/ 15ml

two more Ponds Radiance products will become available early next year:

Cleansing Mousse, transforms into a light, satiny yet thoroughly effective cleansing foam to lift away dullness and reveal youthful radiance without making skin feel dry. Php399 / 150ml

Night Cream, rejuvenates and regenerates skin while sleeping to recapture youthful radiance. Php799 / 50g

among the items from this new line from Ponds, I find this one the most interesting:

Ponds Radiance serum, which reminds me of the face primer (also with gold speckles) from another luxury brand. I've tried it a couple of times and it does give the face a brightening effect. Don't get intimidated with the tiny specks of gold, you won't look like a disco ball, i promise!

the gold specks make me feel rich! imagine applying GOLD on your skin?

But is Gold safe for the skin?
Being a natural mineral, gold have no known adverse reactions on skin. Also, the amount of gold in this new line from Ponds have been tested to be safe for all skin types. So all you get is instant radiance to the skin while enhancing skin's renewal process and skin elasticity.

What other ingredients are in Ponds Radiance aside from Gold?
Ponds Gold Radiance employs the patented technology of Ponds anti-aging with these ingredients:
1. CLA to stimulate natural cell turnover
2. AHA to weaken bonds of old/dead skin cells on the upper layer and promote skin renewal
3. Retinol/Retinol derivatives to stimulate collagen and elastin production
4. Retinol boosters to enhance the Retinol efficacy

I am looking forward to trying this line soon...but I would have to put this on hold since i am currently under skin medication. I've been a Ponds user (cold cream, facial scrubs and detox creams) for years now and I'm sure this new line from them is promising!

watch out for a review, ladies!

(i might ask somebody else to try this in case I won't be able to use it on myself)
