Can you feel it? The sun is out and it's coming in strong! Constant exposure to UV rays can be damaging to our health and skin when left unprotected. Thus, selecting our essentials extends beyond just staying hydrated, wearing protective gear, and staying indoors during the times when the sunshine isn't your friend. Applying regular SPF protection is a rule we must adhere to and never neglect—yes, even when indoors!

Luckily, we’ve got Pond’s behind us! Recently, they opened a paradise-like beauty hub called “Dream Summer Club,” treating beauty lovers to fun activities and personalized skincare recommendations. Kapamilya actress Julia Barretto also joined the celebration, where she confidently shared her experience with Pond’s sunscreen line, “I think Pond’s is just a great partner on this sunscreen journey, even for everybody, because they make it fun, easy, and accessible. They are now officially my sun partners.”

Furthermore, Julia elaborated on which of the two variants she keeps using and how she alternates between them to maximize their effects.

“You know what, I think it depends on what my skin needs. For today, I did a skin analysis, and they told me to use products that are more caring for the pores. I think I will use this religiously (Pond’s UV Bright Sunscreen) first for now, but I really love to switch it up with this (Pond’s UV Hydrate) because this one has Hyaluron, which is good for hydrating the skin. Sometimes I have combination skin, so [minsan] I have dry spots–so this is good for hydration.”

With Pond’s sunscreen, we’re guaranteed that our skin is protected from harmful UV rays that cause sunburn, premature aging, and dark spots. Julia has already given them her stamp of approval, making sure to include them in her summer tote bag, “(Inside) my summer tote bag would be (Pond’s) sunscreen, blush, and maybe my earphones.” Julia shared.

Julia’s profession as an actress requires her to wear makeup every day. Despite constant makeup retouches, how does she take care of her skin and keep it protected at all times?

“I love that I’m working with Pond’s for their sun line, specifically because I’m into skincare and sunscreen before anything else. Before I start my makeup, dapat meron akong sunscreen, and I really make sure of that. Even a toner that’s hydrating or any base that’s good for hydration. Para lang when you put on your makeup, it feels like your skin is healthy and glowing.” Julia answered. 

Pond’s dedication to continuously innovating its products is evident in its highly improved sun goodies. Both variants of their sun-protection tubes contain efficient chemical sun filter ingredients such as ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate, octocrylene, and avobenzone. These scientific terms might seem intimidating, but they provide the right amount of protection needed from UVA and UVB.


Our Review of the Pond’s Sunscreen Line

We tested Pond's sunscreen on different occasions over a month, assessing its wearability on our skin and evaluating its claims. Here's our honest and objective verdict:

Upon applying the sunscreen to our fingers, the viscosity is quite thick, denoting that it could leave a heavy or greasy feeling on the skin. However, when I applied it to the apples of my cheeks, it contradicted my expectations and smoothly blended without any difficulty. On top of that, it leaves a mattifying finish that makes my skin look fresh and supple, which is perfect for the humid climate of the Philippines.


Another amazing function I discovered with this product is that you can reapply it under makeup. Since the consistency is viscous, it didn’t disturb my makeup. Instead, it nourished my skin and made my foundation look freshly applied again.

Note that, since it’s a liquid sunscreen, it needs to be blended with your fingers to maximize its protection. So, expect a slight wear-off on our blush or bronzer pigments. Regardless, I didn’t see this as a significant issue because its advantageous effect remained abundant.
