I've been using Hope in a Jar for three years and every time I think I'll try something different, I come right back.
This moisturizer is silky, lightweight, absorbs quickly, and doesn't create any sort of oily sheen. The scent is very strong in the jar, but disappears almost immediately after applying to your face.
I use this with philosophy's Purity Made Simple face wash and my skin is evenly toned and perfectly hydrated.
I have VERY sensitive, combination skin that tends to get flaky around the nose area and overly shiny on my forehead. Almost everything makes me both break out and turns my face scaly and red, with the exception of every philosophy product I've tried. I'm not sure how they're different, but finding their products has been a lifesaver.
I've been using Philosophy products for a while, and my only regret is that I didn't find Hope in a Jar sooner! The texture of this moisturizer is so light and goes on feeling like nothing, but delivers intense moisture that's perfectly balanced to treat my dry patches while keeping my t-zone at bay. I will probably be using this moisturizer for a while, and I would definitely recommend it!
