 Is What It Says, "Hope" in a Jar September 6, 2006

*****
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.

I think these 1 star reviews are bogus. This cream is good January 15, 2007

I am very surprised by many of the one star one line reviews here claiming serious allergic reactions. First off, this product has been around for years and is always in the top 10 selling products in Sephora and is in countless magazines as their top picks as well. I can understand how some cleansers, mosturizers etc.. can make certain people break out, rash whatever but most of these one star reviews are quick one liners, by people who only leave this one review (check the "see my other reviews") and do not have a real name verification. Oh and most were within the same 2wks. Seems to me it is either the same person or moles from competing companies.
Anyway, I have been using this cream for 2wks now and I really like it. I have horrible sensitive combination skin. Dry in many areas but large porses and blackheads in other areas. This is the only heavy moisturizer I have ever used that seems to actually even my skin without weighing it down. Since I do have some oily skin and tend to breakout, I do not use this 2 times a day. I use it at night only. In the am, I use the hope in a bottle. I use only Purity to clean my face with and also use the micropeel system and my face has never looked better. I personally do not think it smells bad, I can't smell anything to it which I like. What DOES smell bad is the When Hope is Not Enough serum - ugh, that makes me want to gag but if it works - it is totally worth it.
Wonderful product January 22, 2006

I'm allergic to everything, so I was thrilled to find "Hope in a Jar." Not only did I NOT break out, my skin is improving. Well worth a try.
I'm finally loyal...Love this stuff! March 3, 2006

I admit it. I have been a fickle customer. I have tried dozens of moisturizers and I have thrown away dozens of barely used containers after they sat in the cabinet untouched for months. They were all too something: too heavy, too greasy, too perfumy, etc. This is the FIRST ever jar of moisturizer that I have used all of. I personally love the smell although I can't describe it. It has a whipped consistency and very little is required to cover your face and neck. The 2oz jar has lasted me over 6 months. The feel is light and silky and when you use it morning and night your face retains that feeling all the time. I LOVE this stuff and will definitely be buying more.
Absolutely fantastic for problem skin November 5, 2006

I have been trying for years to find the right moisturizer for my skin, which despite being super oily and prone to breakouts, dries up and flakes in certain areas. It's been so severe that I have not been able to wear make-up, because it would just accentuate it. From the first day I used this cream, the problem was eradicated. It wasn't too heavy or oily, and the dry spots were gone! Not only that, but my skin was wonderfully clear and soft. After I ran out of this, I tried using a more expensive Estee Lauder cream, and the dryness was back in a few days. Yes, the price tag is a bit steep, and as some reviewers have mentioned, some people may be allergic to it (which is true of every single product you put on your skin). If you think you'd like to try it, but aren't sure how your skin will react, look into one of Philosophy's gift sets, which bundle smaller jars with other products for only about $10 more than the price of a 2 oz jar, or check your local stores to see if they have samples. This moisturizer is well worth looking into!
