philosophy Hope In A Jar Smooth-Glow Multi-Tasking Face Moisturizer - 2oz - Ulta Beauty

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Silky smooth texture, gentle scent, glass jar feels luxurious. Great for use in the morning and at night. Hydrating even though it's a lighter cream. The only drawback is that the packaging doesn't specify that this is a facial moisturizer, and I only learned this with a product search.

I cannot start my day without Hope, my moisturizer. I have used it for years. Before I started using it, I would get dry patches. Not anymore!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First time trying any Philosophy products the cream is soft and smooth not runny pretty thick. Smell is minimal a little goes a long way. My face loves this cream I like when products come in glass.

The convenience of purchasing at Target vs Ulta. MIL favors this brand. Target Red Card 5% off is a bonus!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Ugh, Houston summers are brutal, right? I feel like I'm gonna pass out, and I'm even getting sunburned without feeling it! But hey, I remembered I had some moisturizer, and it's amazing. The smell is nice and light, and it soaks in fast, unlike some others. I'm totally buying more.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great moisturizer by philosophy. Leaves my skin glowing but not oily or wet looking. Love using this both in the morning and at night. Not heavily perfumed scent very light which adds to why I love it.

[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.] 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’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.] 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.] 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.] 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.] 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.] This was my first time trying this moisturizer, and I was very surprised with it. The moisturizer had a light scent and gave my face a nice glow that lasted all day. I did not have any breakouts while using this product and plan to continue using it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This moisturizer is so nice on my skin. I have very sensitive skin so I have to be careful about which products I use. The scent is very fresh and my skin stays hydrated all day.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The smooth-glow multi-tasking moisturizer by philosophy is really nice. It has a light scent that is not too strong and is creamy. It goes on so easily and leaves my skin soft and smooth without being greasy.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I actually love this, it’s truly so lightweight and hydrating, I love to use under makeup. The packaging is glass and heavy which I appreciate. Really good quality I like how it came with a plastic barrier after taking off the lid so the moisturizer doesn’t spill everywhere. It’s a very light scent dosent bother me. I will repurchase.

Used this for 20+ years. Have used most products from Philosophy satisfactorily
