Women today are full of energy and pursuing youthful passions well past their forties, yet there is a major gap between how old they look and how old they feel. Daily activities such as intense exercise, stress, technology usage and urban aggressors, including exposure to pollution, UV Rays and visible light, cause the skin to age.
As women age, the elastin fibers, which work as the skin’s natural glue to keep skin tight and smooth, begin to break,causing the skin to sag. Regular anti-ageing creams are not formulated to strengthen the skin’s collagen and bind elastin fibers back together.
Ageing is inevitable but the key is to age gracefully and enjoy the journey. So a couple of months ago I tried Pond's My Skin Advisor App,(see post here) and one of the anti aging products that the App recommended I use, was the Pond's Age Miracle Intensive Cell ReGEN Serum. It worked really well leaving my skin soft, supple and rejuvenated. After a good experience with the Pond's Age Miracle Intensive Cell ReGEN Serum I decided to supplement my anti-ageing efforts and try out Pond's new Age Miracle Firm and Lift range that was developed based on intensive research by the scientists of The Pond’s Institute.
The Pond’s Age Miracle Firm & Lift portfolio is composed of a 3-product skincare regimen - Face & Neck Lifting Day Cream SPF 30 PA+++ , Eye Contour Lifter and Targeted Lifting Serum Massager.

Y: The New Shape of Youth
Did you know it's not just fine lines and wrinkles that make you look older? It's the lower part of your face-known as the Y-contour that actually reveals your true age. Yes! There are also problems of sagging skin around the neck and jawline that need to be addressed.
The Pond’s Institute acknowledges that the lower half of the face—the neck, the jawline—also known as the Y-Contour, can reveal one’s true age. This delicate part is prone to loose skin and sagging. It is important to preserve the Y-shape, like it’s your fountain of youth. That is where the Pond's breakthrough fast-acting Firm & Lift treatment range infused with advanced Instant Lift Complex promises to firm and lift your Y-contour so you can look up to 10 years younger!
I have been trying out this range for 3 weeks now and will share my experience with you today. I will share my reviews of each product of the Pond's range in detail and also of the range in general.
A luxurious, highly concentrated lifting cream infused with potent InstantLift™ Complex, corrects deep lines and wrinkles and visibly lifts skin, while providing both UVA and UVB superior sun protection.
When used regularly with Ponds Age Miracle Firm & Targeted Lifting Serum Massager, this Day Cream is clinically proven to lift the skin around your Y-Contour by up to 0.40mm, while providing superior protection from the sun’s harmful UV rays.
My Review :
I really like the Day Cream from the Pond’s Age Miracle range. This one from the Firm & Lift range has a slightly thicker texture, and takes a little while to absorb into the skin completely. Initially, you will feel slightly greasy but within few minutes the greasiness disappears and it gives a good hydrated feeling to the skin. The skin feels well moisturized, without being heavy or greasy. For oily skin, you can skip the moisturizer if you are applying this.
My Review:
The next product is the Pond’s Age Miracle Eye Contour Lifter, which is a silky eye cream in a handy tube with unique cooling applicator head that helps in ease of application. The steel, slanted applicator is easy to use, maneuver and on application, the cream imparts a cooling sensation. It is extremely travel friendly and light weight.
I really find the metal tip soothing under the eyes, specially in the morning when puffiness under the eyes is at its peak. It just applies the product but doesn't massage it in, so you have to use your fingers to pat the eye cream into your skin.
The formula is light weight and non-greasy. It blends into the skin real quick, leaving your skin moisturized and non-sticky. Upon massaging, the cream hydrates the skin very well especially if you have dry skin. The eye area felt extremely hydrated and soft when I used the Firm and Lift eye cream. It works really well under concealer/ makeup as well. I don’t really have major fine lines or crows feet, though the dryness & puffiness are my main issues and it has worked on both these issues to a great extent.

It comes with SPF 30 which is a huge plus for Indian climate along with PA+++ protection and therefore you can take the liberty of skipping sunscreen. Sun damage causes wrinkles, dark spots and uneven skin tone, so this cream protects the skin from all these three skin problems too.
Day creams with SPF often cast a white layer on the skin but not in this case, it just gives a slight pinkish glow to the skin for few hours and fades off. Massaging this luxurious cream to the skin does feel good and you would notice the slight improvement on the skin immediately as the skin looks visibly smoother,
The tightening of the skin and fine lines fading is visibly noticed after continued usage of the cream and leaves the skin really firm and supple.

Just position it on the jawline & neck and then squeeze the tube lightly; the serum comes out of the metal roller and spreads on to the desired area i.e. jawline & neck. Then you can twist it to off mode and massage the serum gently into the skin in an upwards direction. The serum roller gives a cooling effect to the skin along with the smooth massaging. In fact, massaging the skin after a long day feels like a real pampering treatment for the skin. Massaging with the roller is incredibly easy and the best pampering for the facial muscles. Often facial leads to excessive chemical involvement and breakouts and therefore the roller is a great alternative. Once the firm and lift serum massager is absorbed by the skin you will feel that the skin is extremely smooth and soft. This is because the massage stimulates the blood circulation and makes the skin firm.
The Serum is a translucent gel which is absorbed into the skin almost immediately. The formula is extremely light-weight and doesn’t leave any residue behind. It gives a cooling sensation with a refreshing fragrance which I love. After using it for one week, I could definitely observe smoother, plumper jawline.
The Pond's Age Miracle Firm and Lift serum gives a wonderful matte look to the skin and also hydrates the dry areas. However, normal to dry skin might still require a hydrating moisturizer after this. It is a wonderful product for the sagging facial muscles and gives a through massage. If there is one product you are planning to pick from Firm & Lift range then it has to be this massager.
