Not for me

Hearing so many good things about Hope in a Jar from Philosophy I purchased this as a night cream, since I already have a daytime moisturizer with SPF that I love. I was so terribly disappointed with this. It does not feel good going onto my skin after cleansing at night. The smell was unpleasant (though not too strong, thankfully) and the consistency was odd. It felt like it was just sittin...read moreg on top of skin not doing anything. After using this I would wake up to a terribly oily face with clumps of white residue. It was so bad it required me to do an extra cleanse just to get the junk off my face. This one product completely puts me off the entire Philosophy skin care line.

Very silky and smooth !

I compared this product to the intensive night hope in a jar moisturizer and i found this to be a lot better because it went on my skin nice and smooth making my skin feel silky. I felt like it was just enough moisturizer for my skin with out over doing it. It was not to thick or too thin when applying it . When a moisturizer is too thick it tends to make me break out so that is why i really liked...read more this product . You do not need much at all either , a little bit goes a long way with this moisturizer. The price is a good deal . I usually buy the travel size as i go because the travel size will last me for usually about two moths or so. I use it underneath my make up as well and i have not had a problem with it looking too caked up or unnatural at all. so that was a big plus for me because i like to use moisturizer under my make up for protection against the suns rays . I also used this at night too but find i like it better during the day because it hydrates my skin while im going threw my day. I have dry combination skin so i need a good moisturizer. I do highly recommend this especially for those who like light moisturizers but that can give you a really nice moisture to your skin. The fact that it comes in travel size was a miracle to me because i usually can not afford the actual full size. I found that to be a huge bonus for those who can not afford it either because you are still getting a really great product but on a level you can afford and like i said it really does last especially if you use it sparingly to your advantage. The texture is like a gel based moisturizer and I even grew accustomed to the smell which seems to have not that strong of a scent which I like . Within minutes I felt like my face felt refreshed, and I felt like it gave me a nice clean feeling still .... I currently make this my every day and night staple in my regime. However, I've been using clean & clears moisture gel and just using hope when I need a little boost. I have been getting compliments regarding my skin having a glow. Sometimes I mix the Hope in a Jar with my liquid foundation during the day and it gives me a dewy, glowing complexion which I like so I can switch it up every now and then. I wished I had tried this years ago. It will be a permanent part of my skin treatment regimen and you should too. Overall, I am defiantly rating this a ten because as I said it really is a good price and it does a really good job at what it says it does. A lot products really can not offer this so I was a bit surprised how nicely this product disbeliever actual results.

I love my skin the next day...

I use this at night, and by morning, my skin is so soft and smooth. I finally learned the trick to application, not to rub it in, otherwise little "pills" form. Just pat it into skin. My only issue is sometimes I get neck acne when I use it. Maybe a coincidence...Feels luxurious!

Not the best - at least not for me!

I heard and read so many good reviews about this product and thought I would give it a try. It is a nice mouisturizer however it did not do any drastic changes to my skin and the smell is not very pleasent for me. Even my husband noticed the awkward smell and asked me not to put it on at night! It is just not for me. I would not buy this product again.

May Be good but not for me

I tried this out and I had an allergic reaction so hard to tell what had caused it. People tend to have good reviews so ill give it a 5/10.

Very thick and oily product

I'm Asian with combination skin (oily t-zone and dry cheeks) and my face felt greasy after using this. Very thick and oily product. Smells just like Philosophy's Purity Made Simple. Very expensive product!

No Longer Hoping

This product feels silky, smooth and substantial when you put it on your skin. My chronically dry skin is nicely hydrated and because it is formulated for sensitive skin, it does not make me break out like so many other products. The cream soaks in very well and my skin immediately feels softer and it remains that way as long as I use the cream every night. Compared to many other night creams t...read morehe packaging is very simple and plain but I much prefer a product that works to a product in a pretty package. I think it is a very reasonable price for such a great product. I've paid much more for other creams and have not been happy with them.
