Love the feel & smells amazing

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received a sample of hope and my skin feels amazing! It has quickly become my favorite moisturizer. Hope is not too heavy and gives a flawless finish under my foundation. After using for about a month I've noticed my skin feels softer and fine lines have diminished. Love the scent~ & I highly recommend!

Very disappointed

I was a loyal customer because the original Hope in a Jar was truly one of a kind. It was lightweight, absorbed beautifully, and left my skin feeling hydrated without any greasy residue. My skin loved it, and it became my favorite moisturizer. Unfortunately, after the formula change, the experience is completely different. The added sunscreen makes the cream feel heavy, greasy, and uncomfortable on my skin. It leaves a shiny finish that looks and feels oily throughout the day. Instead of making my skin look healthy, it now makes it look worse. I was so disappointed that I ended up throwing both jars away. I really wish Philosophy would bring back the original formula or at least offer a version without sunscreen. It was a perfect moisturizer before, and it's heartbreaking to see such an amazing product changed so drastically.

The moisturizer that works

This moisturizer makes your face so soft. I'm 62 and my skin absorbs this moisturizer and it softens and moisturizes in no time. I have made this part of my daily routine. Love it.

My long time favorite fave cream

I have been using Philosophy Hope in a jar face cream for roughly 15 years. I love that it is lightweight and does not cause breakouts on my sensitive skin. I feel like it gives my skin a fresh glow and bounce

Sorry

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I didn't like this cream; it caused an allergic reaction and felt very heavy. That's why it took me so long to post about it -it didn't work for me. I tried using it several times, but it caused me to break out in lots of bumps.
