Absolutely Love This!
PostedJuly 17, 2012
i received this as a sample with a gift with purchase. I love it and will be buying a full size. aside from what a lot of the reviews say about this product having a bad smell, i personally like it. it smells clean and refreshing. i like that it doesn't have a strong perfume smell to it. to me, it smells more citrusy. I like that it's not greasy and absorbs into my skin. it's a perfect moisturizer to put on before makeup application because it's not oily. it's great!

This moisturizer works very well. it feels a little weird going on - kind of soupy until it absorbs into your skin, but after that it works. it's not too heavy - good on my normal skin. however, it smells so bad I decided i couldn't use it. i put a lot of thought into it as my jar kept getting lower and lower, but when it came time to buy more, i went back to clinique. i love all other philosophy products but they need to do something about the smell of hope in a jar.

Hope in a Jar
PostedJuly 10, 2012
The feel of the product is wonderful.The smell is more than awful.I used the sample,that I received with my last order,went to bed thinking the smell would fade.It did not,I had to get up wash the product off my face,before I could go to sleep.i really do like the philosophy products,but not this one.would be nice if you would fix the smell.Sorry,it cannot get a 5 from me,but a 1 is all i can give it.because of the awful smell.

Best moisturizer I've used!
PostedJuly 2, 2012
i'm in my late 50's and noticed my skin was becoming very flakey. NO matter what brand i wanted to buy had ingrediantes that did not work on the dry flakiness. this is a wonderful product for my skin problem, also no white or black heads. the smell is a bit offensive when first applied, but disapates as the cream settles in the skin. So glad i took a chance and tried this product line!
