Not worth it

Hope in a jar is not!
Used Nature in a jar for years, wonderful for dry skin. Hope in a jar was recommended but is not smooth at all. Skin flakes after a few days use and not flattering under makeup. Nature is a jar is no longer available and that is so disappointing. Why stop manufacturing a great product?

Love it!
I am 55 and my skin is better than it has ever been. I have combo skin, am Scandinavien, and live in Minnesota - humidity I knew I knew that youin the summer and harsh conditions in the winter. I have used it religiously every night for two years and I look younger now than I ever have. I have no blemishes, no dry spots. I will buy this for the rest of my life. Please do not stop making it!

What a disappointment.
I used this product for years before the company was sold and got away from it, then stopped. And have come back to it and decided to order it again. Because it used to be wonderful. But this actually made my skin drier. The fragrance is different and the results are certainly different. I am so disappointed; I used to give it five stars, and now I would return it if I could.

What Happened to Hope?
I have used Philosophy for many years, including Hope smooth-glow multi-tasking moisturizer. I have a chronic illness that affects my skin, so I have to be very careful with facial products. Hope has been one of the only products that always provided excellent results (lasting hydration and smooth healthy glow), while being gentle enough. I waited all the way until Black Friday to repurchase. I am so disappointed. This jar does not moisturize or give a healthy glow like usual. It does the exact opposite. No beautiful light and whipped texture as it’s supposed to have. It also doesn’t have the very distinctive fresh and clean scent that I love so much. It caused me to breakout with whiteheads all over my face, which is never a skin issue I have. Instead of being moisturized, my skin is dull, dry and patchy/flaky. I used to get compliments on my skin all the time and would recommend this to everyone! I especially recommended to people who suffer from my illness. I’ve always received many thanks for the referral. I am so disappointed. This is nothing like the product I loved and trusted!

It must have in your moisturizer arsenal with SPF
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a basic in any facial tool kit. I’ve used this product for many years and I highly recommend it to friends and family. I’ve given it as gifts as well.

Love!
This product is amazing!! Everything of Philosophy is amazing! I love that this also has SPF in it. So it’s a 2-in-1 step that simplifies my mornings! It also doesn’t have a strong scent and the scent doesn’t linger. I really like this product!

Best face moisturizer!!
I have very sensitive skin. Nearly any sort of fragrance and my skin gets irritated. I took a chance on this cream and I do not regret it. This face cream goes on so smooth, like buttah. It has helped with skin discoloration & complexion. Truly grateful I found a cream that works for me. This is my holy grail.

Prefer the Miracle cream over this one
I bought this since I couldn't locate the Ultimate Miracle Worker cream on the website. The smell is stronger than the other product, this felt heavy and greasy on my skin compared to other products. I would've preferred the Miracle product over this any day.

Perfect facial moisturizer
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love that the scent is light and not overwhelming, packaging is cute and easy to open. Texture feels light not greasy. After applying for some days i definitely recommend, it hydrated my skin without leaving any greasy areas and is great for mix skin.

Lightweight but moisturizing
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great moisturizer! I love using it in the morning. It is very light and moisturizing and gives the skin lots of moisture without feeling heavy. I have really liked using this on no makeup days as well. I feel like it does give a subtle glow that while not necessary does make you look more lively. Great product!
