Dust is subtle enemy. When your skin grows

cream, cream with a good oil base.
Ponds Cold Cream contains just enough oil to
work deep into the pores and thoroughly cleanse
them. Before you 60 to bed and after train or
motor trip, rub Ponds Cold Cream into the pores
and wipe it off. Your skin will be so much clearer,
so much fairer, that you will be amazed.
