Philosophy Hope In A Bottle

Pros: Effective, lightweight, very little product needed to achieve results.
Cons: Pricey. Can Leave Your Skin Feeling Greasy, Shiny

At $32.50 for 2 oz., it seems expensive...but it really works. I discovered Hope In A Bottle over 2 years ago and I've kept a bottle around ever since.

The Magic Ingredient
"hope in a bottle" is a moisturizer with 2% BHA,...

Pros: Got rid of my blemishes and the oil!
Cons: Price

Hope in a bottle is yet another philosophy product I have been lucky enough to try. (I went on a philosophy shopping spree, don't tell my husband!) Unlike some people, I have not yet tried a philosophy product I have not liked and hope in a bottle is one...

Pros: light, smooth, improves skin texture and appearance
Cons: not cheap

A Millionaire Invented This!

OK, I don't know this for a fact. But if the folks who came up with this product line are not millionaires, their financial managers should be fired if not shot. Philosophy is a fabulous personal care line...

Pros: gently heals blemish areas, mild salicylic acid
Cons: small size, a bit pricey

In the past few months, I have switched over pretty much all of my beauty products to that of Philosophy. I was greatly impressed with Hope in a Jar and Purity Made Simple - they have been a great cleanser/moisturizer team for my skin. During that ...

Pros: Gives smoother, firmer texture to skin after first use
Cons: slightly annoying smell like the old Noxema

Philosophy Beauty is a high quality skin care and makeup line found in better department stores, at Beauty.com, and on television retailer QVC, where I first heard about it.

The first time I saw a QVC presentation and heard about the products...

Pros: lightweight, crisp, clean
Cons: pricey

When I first came upon this line in Nordstrom a few years ago, I was intrigued. I love to read the titles of the products and the blurbs under them. I was interested in Hope In A Bottle because I had read about it in fashion magazines.

I...

Pros: Leaves Skin Fresh & Clean, Reduces acne, Uplifting Package
Cons: THE SMELL!! The price too.

First let me explain that I have spent the last 10 years of my life trying adult acne products. I never had acne as a teenager, but, lucky me as an adult I have been plagued with it. I also have sensitive skin, so, many acne products irritate my skin. ...

Pros: Does not dry out skin
Cons: An expensive risk...no positive outcomes

After reading rave reviews for Philosophy's product line, I gave it a try. I am 22, with very light acne, combination skin and large pores and blackheads. I initially purchased the Jump Starter Kit ("Purity Made Simple" cleanser, "Hope in a Jar" ...

Pros: Helps keep oily skin moisturized, but not gressy or oily.
Cons: Doesn't get rid of my acne.

I'm a Philosophy junkie! If they make it, I want to try it! I started off with a "Philosophy Girl" sampler kit that contained Hope in a Jar. But it didn't seem to work well with my "blemished" skin. I felt greasy after applying it. So I consulted ...

Pros: oil-free, great for fine lines and blemishes
Cons: no SPF

Last year I turned 31. Since that time I have been on quest for anti-aging products and moisturizers like never before. The problem is that while my skin is aging and a bit sun damaged, I still have blemishes. Most of the "anti-aging" products...

Pros: Expensive but so far it seems to be working.
Cons: Expensive

I first saw this product on QVC a television retailer. I watched the presentation several times before I finally ordered. I have very very dry skin since menopause and nothing seems to be working. I've tried so many products and still have dry skin....

Pros: Lightweight non-greasy formula .
Cons: Pricey to continue using this line.

Wonderful and expensive!!! I love the philosophy line. Hope in a bottle is top of the line when it comes to skincare in my opinion. I bought this product in a sample kit and much to my surprise my skin was in the best condition it ever has been . I love ...

Pros: improves skin clarity, softness, quick results
Cons: the bottle should be bigger for the cost

No one was more skeptical than me of using moisturizers. I have always had oily skin and the last thing I wanted or needed was to make it even more oily.

I am eternally grateful that I listened. You only need a dime sized amount of the...

Pros: light, non-greasy, last a long time
Cons: pricey, but worth it

I have never used moisturizer until I found Hope in a Jar. I have the type of skin that is oily in some places, not so oily in other, and dry in other places. I describe it as a real strange version of combination skin. Most of the similar type...

Pros: Great texture, see results quickly, not greasy.
Cons: Don't use too close to eyes, that's it.

Ok,so my title is probably a LITTLE BIT misleading--you see, it was MY GIRLFRIEND who gave me a bottle of this FABULOUS moisturizer for a recent birthday (Hmm...maybe the title of the moisturizer was a little "hint" about this current b-day??...
