This has been my daily moisturizer for several years. It makes my skin very soft, very healthy looking, and glowing. It makes me look radiant. I have given it as a gift to my sister and to other women, and they have all liked it as much as I have. No one has had any adverse reactions. You can notice a difference after just one use. When I’ve run out and used something else temporarily, I always can see the difference again once I start back up. It is as close as it gets to a miracle cream.
I do not wear makeup, so Hope In A Jar is it. I am 49 years old and I think my skin looks incredible. The friends I have given it to also like to keep a natural look and prefer their skin without heavy creams, thick moisturizers and sunscreens, or makeup.
The women I know who are fans of Hope In A Jar are like me. We’re kind of lazy no-fuss “one cream that does it all” people; instead of one jar of something for one thing, and another for something else—eye creams, night time moisturizers, daytime moisturizers, etc.—we’re the type that wants just one that can do the job and then be done with it. In other words, we don’t have the patience to fuss with our looks a lot, or to spend money buying bunches of different creams to keep track of and remember to use.
Unlike other reviewers, I love the smell, which is not perfumey, but definitely pleasantly distinctive. I use it around my eyes also, and have not had an allergic reaction. It seems, though, that these are the two biggest problems with Hope—the distinctive odor and allergic reactions among some people. I would suggest buying it the first time from somewhere you could return it if you don’t care for it; although in my opinion, this would be unlikely, apparently it is possible. Philosophy now makes another version of Hope In A Jar for sensitive skin; if you know that your skin in tempermental, perhaps it would be better to also try this version. I have stuck with Hope In A Jar because it works so well for me.
It seems expensive, but it is not because it lasts a long, long time. The two-ounce jar lasts me about six months. I use a toner and then Hope In A Jar and that’s it. I’m done with my face in 30 seconds. Plus, it gives me a look that most women use makeup to get, so I think it’s a bargain.

As a reviewer in my mid-forties, I have gone through many brands of moisturizer in the last few years looking for something that worked well for my “normal” but sometimes stressed skin. After spending a small fortune on skincare products, I have finally found a product I can count on. Hope in a Jar leaves my skin with a clean yet moisturized feeling, and is a perfect base for foundation, as it is not greasy or oily. And, as an added bonus, the price seems reasonable for something that lasts so long. It is necessary to use a good eye cream as well, as this product is not meant for the eye area, and can be slightly irritating. Overall, I have seen a marked improvement in my skin in the last 3 months since using this product.

I finally tried this one. I really like Philosophy products, but I was afraid of those half and half reviews. I finally bought 0.5 size jar. The smell is really not my favorite, if I`d have to describe it- an indistinct smell of the sphincter. I`m happy that you actually can experience only when you inhale from the jar.
My skin feel really moist, not oily, no breakouts so far. I like the little redness on my cheeks after I use it. So far works pretty good. I wouldn`t call it luxurious, but I`m happy with the results (after 3 days of using it twice a day). Some people complaint about breakouts-probably cream contains some pore clogger, the best is too google the ingredients.
One star down for the odour, of course. I`ll buy again.

I’m in my 30’s, light skin, everybody was talking about this product so i decided to give it a try; didn’t work for me, after using it for a while I had break outs and my skin became greasy. It’s not what they say it is, I’ve tried many philosophy products the only one that is what they promised is Amazing Grace for your body, but the skin care products are a scam, go for Neutrogena or clinique , good luck
