    Smelled terrible

    I tried to use this product. It smells awful, but I really wanted to try it. The smell was so foul that about three minutes after I applied this, I went back to the bathroom to wash this off, and even THEN I couldn't get all of the scent out! I usually love Philosophy's products but this one was not a winner.

    Not worth it

    It did nothing for my mom even after a week. The only thing it did do is start to break down into its individual components. There was an oily layer that started to form on the top and was just disgusting. Returned it for our money back.

    hope in a jar

    Did not seem any better then other moisurizers. After using mine for a while I threw it away because of the smell. It had the smell of a sour dishcloth

    Awful

    Mine separate in the container. It was oily, went on really weird, and smelled. I'm a philosophy girl and really really dislike this product. The sweet lady who sells me philosophy said that they've had quite a few problems with this moisturizer.

    too oily

    I find this stuff way too oily for me. My skin is usually a little on the dry side and this was way too over powering still. It caused me to break out badly. I am so glad that I only bought the sample size from sephora, because it would have been a huge waste for me. Even the sample size was too expensive for how terrible this product was . I'm very disappointed.

    Not so great

    I love Philosophy products, however, this is not one of my favorites. It's not at all like the regular Hope in a Jar. This moisturizer has a weird, clumpy texture. It's difficult to scoop out of the jar and difficult to apply to your face. Another thing I don't like about this product is the smell. It has a strange chemical/sunscreen smell. I don't mind smelling like sunscreen in the summer,...read more but I don't care to smell like it in the fall/winter. It's not a good sunscreen smell either. Finally, this product makes my face VERY shiny. Not a nice natural, dewy glow, just shiny and greasy. Skip this stuff and just use regular Hope in a Jar with your own sunscreen.

    "Hope"-ing this isn't indicative as to the quality of Philosophy's other products

    When it comes to sunscreen, I am appreciative of those companies who do not try to fool me into thinking I am getting sun protection but leaving me unprotected against UVA rays. (SPF is a measure only of protection against UVB rays.) So I have to give credit to Philosophy for including avobenzone in this formula. That, unfortunately, is the only good thing I can say about Hope in a Jar SPF 20. ...read more I experienced some of the same problems mentioned by other reviewers (product separates into oil and cream, breakouts with regular use, et al.) but those paled in comparison to the scent issue. I found the perfume-y fragrance overpowering and had to discontinue use - and I rarely stop using a product before it's finished, even if I'm not a fan.
