Fabulous results!!!
I have very oily, acne-prone skin and have had a lot of difficulty finding a moisturizer that works for me. I thought Clinique's Moisture Surge was it, until I discovered Hope in a Jar!! I began using it in conjunction with Proactive and realized that I could achieve the same great results by using only the Proactive cleanser and Hope in a Jar (skipping the Proactive toner and repairing lotion s...read moreteps). My acne cleared up, my oil production decreased and my skin finally had a glow! I now no longer use any Proactive products and have switched to using DDF Acne Pumice scrub as my facial cleanser. It's much more cost effective! The only reason I didn't give Hope in a Jar a rating of 10 is that the smell reminds me of a wet dog. I'm pretty sensitive to smells and it grosses me out a little... but it's not overwhelming and probably wouldn't bother most people (besides, the smell fades fast)!This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 1 people said helpful

A great moisturizer
I really like how this moisturizer makes my skin feel. I am 44 and deal with breakouts and minimal lines. This moisturizer is so light and fluffy I really didn't think it would work at first but I am amazed at how much better my skin looks and feels. I have used a couple of jars and it keeps my skin younger looking and has minimized my breakouts.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 1 people said helpful

looking hopefull
am I the only person who actually likes the smell of this product? It was very emollient and worked great for me, I love the whipped texture of the product, I found it work best on my skin as a night cream b/c it made me a bit oily late in the day, however my skin never before felt so healthy and moisturized, Rich in vitamin E, I heard it was originally formulated for burn victims, no wonder it is so good at healing my winter chapped shin.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 1 people said helpful

Meh......
I'm not sure this lived up to the hype (for me anyway). I like the fact it has SPF. I'm not fond of the scent. Or the texture. It just doesn't seem to have enough "moisture" for me. I didn't see any changes in my skin tone either like I have with my new found favorite line Ole Hendricksen.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 2 people said helpful

Philosophy Hope In A Jar
Philosophy's Hope in a Jar is an award winning moisturizer for all skin types. It is packed full of antioxidants and also contains lactic acid to exfoliate skin. It is truly moisturizing even for the driest of skin types and doesn't over moisturize oily or combination skin types. I have noticed that for my combination skin, this product does NOT break me out personally, which is always a problem f...read moreor me. Hope in a Jar also brightens skin's appearance and boosts radiance with continued use. The scent is appealingly light and herby- I have heard some complaints about the smell but it doesn't bother me at all, although some may not like it. The consistency is lightly creamy, almost whipped like. This would be a good product to try for anyone looking for a great moisturizer to use day or night. If you have extra dry skin, you might want to get the version made specifically for dry, sensitive skin as it will be thicker and more emollient.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 1 people said helpful

So disappointed!
I really, really wanted to love this moisturizer. So many good reviews that I ignored the comments about the smell. I bought it and I hate the smell! I tried it for a few days, but it was all I could smell for most of the morning, and it is not a good smell. Smells like chemicals.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 1 people said helpful

Great For Combination Skin At Least At First...
All together my skin adores this product for the most part it creates a soft glow without being oily. The first two months I used it and it worked wonders. When I purchased my second jar it didn't work as good as the first. Not quite sure why...This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Not Impressed
Okay I bought this product based mainly on the hype and I don't understand waht everyone is raving about. This is like the worst moisturizer. It's so unbelievably heavy and greasy I feel like I need to wash my face after I apply it. I have yet to get any glowier and now my skin is breaking out. Maybe it works wonders for some and that's great but it did not spark any positive changes in my skin.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful
