New Pond's White Beauty Oxygenated Pearl Cleansing Gel: Fresh. Gentle. White.

You know what's going to be big in Beauty this year? Hydration. And under this category are Gel- based skin care products-yup, we've all felt the presence of these products last year when a couple of beauty brands introduced gel moisturizers such as Pond's and their Flawless White Dewy Rose Gel, a whitening moisturizer in a refreshing gel form.

This 2015, Pond's stays ahead of the game by bringing us another skin care innovation called Pond's White Beauty Oxygenated Pearl Cleansing Gel, a whitening gel facial wash that is safe even for sensitive skin.

If I could sum up the key benefits of this product (according to Pond's), it would only take three words: FRESH. GENTLE. WHITE.

FRESH- this product comes in an oxygenated gel format that promotes better dirt removal for super fresh and super clean skin.

GENTLE- Note this: most whitening soaps use harsh peels to give you white skin and the downside is these ingredients destroy the lipids, resulting to dull and dry skin. With its non-occlusive consistency, ultra light fragrance, and non- drying and good-for-sensitive-skin formula, Pond's raises the bar in skin whitening by making Pearl Cleansing Gel not only effective, but gentle as well.

WHITE- The combination of Niacinamide, Vitamin B3, and Pearl Essence promises to give you rosy, radiant, and fair skin.

So what do Pond's really mean when they said gentle whitening? It's sometimes hard to believe such claims because almost all brands are saying the same thing also so to demonstrate the claim, Pond's had conducted a mini experiment in their Blogger launch held last week in Aracama, BGC. Click READ MORE and find out what happened in the experiment.

On the left corner, we have a dish that contains an orange liquid and that is water mixed with another brand of whitening soap while on the right corner, we have a dish that contains a milky liquid and that is water mixed with Pond's Oxygenated Pearl Cleansing Gel. The triangular, Pink paper cut- out is a special kind of paper made with a special material that mimics the Proteins in the skin. A piece of cut- out was dropped in each dish and left soaked for 2 minutes.

After two minutes, the cut- outs were pulled out and laid out on cotton pads. If you've noticed, the cut- out on the left looks a lil' deformed and the Protein- mimicking material seem to have worn away. Meanwhile, the cut- out on the right remained intact. Based on this experiment, do you think Pond's White Beauty Oxygenated Pearl Cleansing Gel is for you? Will you try it? Let me know in the comments section. ;)

With my main girls, Mikki and Kumi. Thanks for the lovely time, loves!

So that's all for this fun and informative event. Personally, I prefer gel- based moisturizer and facial wash because I have oily skin, not to mention I love its playful texture and easy-to-rinse-out formula.
