I can't say enough about this product! After one use I noticed a huge difference! My red skin, and sun damage was no longer a factor. This cream made my skin on my face look clear and brighter! I feel as though I glow! Instantly rejuvenated! I do use a moisturizer with it and have had no problems whatsoever. I love you Philosophy.... Where have you been all my life:) ladies give this a try, it's worth ever penny and more! Wish I would of discovered " help me" a long time ago! I feel years younger when I wake up in the morning every day! Can't be without it!

does nothing
I will return it. It dried my skin, so the few wrinkles that I do have, are way more noticeable. Waste of money

Must have!
This was the first product I ever bought from the philosophy line. It is one of my very favorite skincare products of all time. A pea size application every night will definitely show improvements in the way your skin feels and looks within a few weeks. Trust me, I started selling skincare in my early 20's and now this 56 year old face wouldn't live without this product. I absolutely love it and have turned many of my 50+ year old friends on to it as well. You will not be disappointed!

Best Ever!
I have only been using this for about a week and 2 very large pores are already disappearing! I'm not sure how it works but my entire face looks brighter and fresher. I have been to a dermatologist about my pores and she said there was little that could be done about them. Looking forward to my next appt. with her to 'show and tell'. I am truly amazed with the results. Best product ever - thanks Philosophy!!!!!

It Works!
I've tried different products for my adult acne. At 58 nothing smooths my skin like this retinal treatment. I highly recommend this!
Did I say I've been using "Please Help Me" for six years? There is nothing better!

Incentivized review
Absolute Skin Saver!
I was told that a retinol cream would prevent aging, acne AND give your skin a more youthful glow. I searched "retinol creams" on the Nordstrom site and browsed the options. I bought this based on the reviews and WOW does it live up to the 5 star reviews. My skin is clearer, smoother, and more supple. Just re-stocked on my third tube, I apply almost every night. Truly LOVE this product.

HELP ME.....IT HAS!
I DON'T KNOW WHY I WAS SO SURPRISED TO SEE SO MANY WONDERFUL REVIEWS ...BUT USUALLY THE BEST PRODUCTS DO. I HAVE USED THE HELP ME FOR SEVERAL YEARS NOW AND TRULY SEE THE DIFFERENCE THIS LOVELY PRODUCT MAKES ON MY DELICATE SKIN.
IT HAS BECOME A STAPLE IN MY BEAUTY ROUTINE. THERE IS NO RED IRRITATED PEELING SKIN, JUST BEAUTIFUL GLOWING SKIN THAT LOOKS FRESH, CLEAR, AND HELPS DIMINISH OR TAKE AWAY ANY LINES... IF YOU ARE SENSITIVE WITH DELICATE SKIN, START APPILICATION EVERY FEW DAYS BUILDING TO EVERYDAY...THIS WORKED GREAT FOR ME, AND I HOPE YOU TOO!
