Dry Skin Cream — Reddit Reviews
by Pond's
Updated September 16, 2026
Rich, fragranced cream hydrates dry skin well but may cause acne breakouts.
What the community says
A thick, old-school cream that melts into dry skin to provide deep hydration. Loved by many for winter and very dry skin but disliked for its heavy finish and fragrance. Can trigger breakouts or irritation on acne-prone and sensitive skin.
