philosophy Hope In a Jar Smooth Glow Moisturizer - SPF 30 - 2oz - Ulta Beauty

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really wanted to love this moisturizer, but it broke me out. I love the packaging and texture of this product, but I feel like it sits on top of my skin rather than absorb. I think the spf is great.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love Love Love…. It is very moisturizing and works great on my skin. The package is pretty and lightweight, you can carry it everywhere. It’s not heavily scented either. Would highly recommend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] super nice packaging, very minimalist design, very use to open, I’ve had no issues with leaks or anything of the sort. as for the product itself, i love that it has spf included, it cuts out an extra step during busy mornings. the scent is super lightweight, very pleasant, and this cream leaves my skin feeling soft and refreshed!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been trying this moisturizer for a few weeks now and I love it! I only need a tiny bit to cover my whole face and it doesn’t leave it feeling greasy at all. I also have sensitive skin and this did not break me out. I would purchase this in the future.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love philosophy products I’ve been using even for a long time but I had never tried this moisturizer with sunscreen. I loved that it’s not heavy, smells light and fresh and doesn’t leave skin greasy or dry. It goes great under makeup and has sunscreen which I love. I also like that with continued use it smoothes out skin and it looks glowy and radiant. I have always liked their packaging too. Thank you INFLUENSTER and Philosophy for allowing me to try this product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love using this cream on a daily basis. It’s not too thick and perfect under my everyday make up. I personally really like the smell because it’s very fresh but light.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve really enjoyed using this multitasking moisturizer! It’s packed with pro-vitamin P, glycolic, and hyaluronic acids, and it truly delivers on its promises. My skin feels smooth, hydrated, and has a healthy, glowing appearance that lasts all day. I’ve noticed it has brought back a more youthful look to my skin, which I love. Overall, I’m very happy with the results and would definitely purchase this product again.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using the Philosophy Hope in a Jar Smooth-Glow Multi-Tasking Moisturizer for a couple of weeks now, and it’s been a good addition to my routine. The texture is creamy but still feels lightweight, and it melts into my skin without leaving a greasy film. It layers well under makeup and gives me that smooth, slightly dewy finish I look for. One of the main things I noticed is the hydration. It really does deliver long-lasting moisture, and my skin feels comfortable throughout the day. Philosophy uses an enhanced hyaluronic acid in this formula, and I can tell the difference compared to basic moisturizers I’ve tried. On top of that, it has 2% glycolic acid, which gives a very gentle exfoliation. My skin looked a little clearer and brighter after the first week, and I didn’t have any irritation or tingling, which is usually my concern with acids. The brightening ingredients are a nice touch too. There’s a radiance complex with pro-vitamin P and tangerine peel extract, and I’ve noticed my skin looks more luminous overall. It’s not an intense glow, but more of a natural, healthy brightness. That said, I can see why longtime fans of the original Hope in a Jar might not love this as much. It doesn’t have the same “bounce” to the formula, and I’ve read some reviews saying it feels sticky or caused breakouts. I personally didn’t have those issues, but I do miss the simplicity of the original. For me, the pros outweigh the cons: • Texture: Creamy, fresh, and lightweight. • Hydration: Deep, lasting comfort. • Renewal: Gentle exfoliation that smooths without irritation. • Radiance: Subtle glow and brighter tone. • Everyday Use: Works great under makeup. Overall, I’d recommend this moisturizer if you want one product that hydrates, smooths, and brightens all at once. It’s not exactly the same as the original cult classic, but on its own, it delivers noticeable results and leaves my skin soft, refreshed, and radiant.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A little goes along way. If you use too much it takes a little longer to rub in. Does not leave a white cast and worked great underneath my makeup. Stood up in the Jamaican heat on my vacation. Does not have a weird scent and would definitely recommend this product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So I’ve been using this for 2 weeks and I love it! It’s creamy, absorbs quickly, doesn’t leave that sticky feeling, and the fragrance is delicate. The SPF is enough for daily errands but would still need more if you’re going to be outdoors! The packaging is the same packaging they always use for philosophy

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I always get a little nervous trying a new moisturizer, as my skin is a bit sensitive. To help prevent irritation, I've gone back and forth between using this moisturizer & my old one for about 2 weeks now. I normally would have totally switched over by now, but I've not been 100% sold on the philosophy moisturizer. It has a light floral scent to it and is a bit greasy, whether I use it with a sunscreen or without. It's also thicker than I prefer a moisturizer to be. I've noticed my skin has been more red and textured than normal (even where I've never previously had issues), and while I can't definitively say it's because of this moisturizer, I would wager that it is. A little goes a long way, though, so you definitely won't need to repurchase often. I also like the heavy glass jar that it comes in & the cute packaging, but prefer when you don't have to scoop the product out with your finger, as I feel that this just makes the product even more greasy over time. Overall, I do prefer my other moisturizers better, especially for the cost.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is definitely very moisturizing and I’d almost categorize it as more of a sunscreen moisturizer since it is definitely heavier. It absolutely has that sunscreen type scent but it’s not overpowering. It is thick and it almost leaves a subtle sheen but nothing super noticeable. I am all about skin protection so I am totally okay with it. I’ve worn it daily and I haven’t gotten burnt on my face and it lasts through humidity sweat and getting rained on and being in the pool. I’ll take that as a win. I had it on in super strong sun too. I really like this and will definitely continue to use and plan to take it on a beach trip coming up. Highly recommend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely loved the moisturizing component of this and was thrilled that there was a built in spf. However, my skin must have not liked something in this because after applying it i would get little balls of, im assuming the product, all over my skin. I played with it to better figure out what might be causing it, but even on clean skin, I was getting little clumps of the product. Letting time pass before applying make up didnt help either. I really love the brand and everything it stands for in the world of beauty and skincare, this product just didnt work for me as well as id hoped it would. I'll still use it when im not going anywhere, but to leave the house with little balls of build up, it's a no for me.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m in my 40s, so my skin wants hydration, smoothing, and maybe a little time machine. Philosophy’s Smooth Glow Multi Tasking Moisturizer checks a lot of those boxes. The texture is creamy but light, and melts in like butter on warm toast, without the greasy aftermath. The scent is fresh and clean, like your face just took a spa day. After a week, my skin felt smoother, looked a bit brighter, and my fine lines were politely told to chill. Bonus: it layers great under makeup and doesn’t make me shiny by 3 p.m. I do like it best for daytime, as I personally like something that feels like a weighted blanket for my skin at night.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This has been my go to lately! It’s super creamy but doesn’t feel heavy. Does a good job melting into skin. The smell reminds me of a light powdery scent. The packaging is simple. Get the job done.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have really enjoyed trying this philosophy moisturizer. A little goes a long way and really leaves your face feeling smooth and hydrated without being oily. It’s a great texture , not too thick or greasy. Love that it’s unscented as well.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] To say im obsessed with this moisturizer is an understatement! Its so hydrating without being too heavy. Leaves my skin feeling soft, smooth and refreshed. The lught and fresh scent is subtle and just enough! Not to mention how much I love the luxurious glass jar.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like how smooth the cream is and the smell is really nice. I love products that’s have multipurpose such as this one doubling as a moisturizer and spf. I love the packaging it may seem small but a little bit goes a long way and it’s easy to take on the go because of how compact it is. It’s sturdy too so no leaks!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Enjoyed this moisturizer! The texture was smooth and easy to use! Perfect amount! The scent was nice and not overpowering. Packaging was quality too!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product for free in exchange for my honest opinion- Full disclosure, I am a melanated woman and this product may work differently on fairer skinned people so please take this review with a grain of salt. This is a decent spf, however not a great moisturizer. It does leave a little bit of a white cast and takes a while to rub in. However it does do what it promises with regards to protecting your skin from uv. I did need to add a different moisturizer to my face in order to get the moisture that it needed. In my honest opinion there is only one brand (fenty) that has mastered the mixture of spf and moisturization. Decent product just needs some fixing.
