Since 1846, POND’S SKIN INSTITUTE has been at the forefront of helping generations of women achieve their ultimate skin through pioneering innovations and technologies.
POND’S SKIN INSTITUTE boasts a respected scientific community with hundreds of scientists working across five research and development centres worldwide.
POND’S SKIN INSTITUTE has always been rooted in pioneering science. The brand was founded in 1846 by pharmacist Theron T. Pond, who invented the ‘Golden Treasure’ – a formula extracted from witch hazel, which he discovered could help with small cuts and numerous other ailments. Soon after, the product became widely popular as the POND’S Extract.
This set the stage for what would become one of the first skincare brands. One with a history of skincare breakthroughs, dedicated to helping women keep their skin radiant and soft with the unique duo of POND’S Cold Cream and POND’S Vanishing Cream – both designed to help women retain their grace, softness and femininity.
The brand has been unwavering in its commitment to delivering the best skincare, by innovating groundbreaking technologies to revolutionise skin science.
After 15+ years of research, POND’S SKIN INSTITUTE has made an even bigger leap into making the miracle of ultimate skin possible with its latest discoveries in both brightening and age management technologies – Niasorcinol™ and Hexyl-Retinol™.
These breakthrough ingredients were premiered at the World Congress of Dermatology in 2023 and received endorsements from various dermatologists and medical professionals.
When Theron T. Pond first founded the brand, he was held in high esteem because his products were loved by queens, princesses, actresses and politicians.
And generations of women from all walks of life have placed their trust in POND’S SKIN INSTITUTE ever since. Nearly two centuries later, they still experience a miracle in every bottle. The brand has been steadfast in its pursuit of empowering women to achieve the skincare results they desire.
