Product reviews of Philosophy Hope in a Jar 4 oz
Review: Smell is awful
Beauty product: 1 Stars
Although I'm a big fan of philosophy products, this cream I had to give away due to the stinky odor. I just couldn't bare the smell as I felt nauseous. Review: May be for all skin types, but
Beauty product: 1 Stars
The All Skin Types Hope in a Jar is not all that it is stated and in some cases more than you want. Be careful of possible alergic type reactions. While I don't need a moisturizer due to living in a tropical climate, this product came in a kit with other things. I used it a few times and although past 50 I don't have wrinkles. I tried it after washing my face and at first it seemed to make my face have a nice glow.
Three months later and 2 specialist doctors later I have finally found out why I have the worst chapped, cracked and bright red sore lips. I have never had this in my life, and don't use any product on my lips, including the Hope in A Jar. It took a lot of hit and miss guesses on my and my specialists part to finally figure out that the Hope In A Jar that I was putting "around" my mouth area was causing a reaction to my lips. This was due to the Retinoids which are the most frequent chemical induced causes for chapped lips.
I mention this for help to other women who may be having this issue and not realize that it is not related to the cream you put on your face. I have stopped using all Philosophy products and my lips are almost back to normal.
Review: This product needs little of your patient
Beauty product: 3 Stars
I have a combination asian skin. This is the first US product I tried. I red most of the reviews before I buy it, and they are right on the reaction this product do to your skin.
The first week after I tried, I had breakouts on my face. So I stopped for 20 days and tried it again. Seems my skin slowly adjusted to the product and no more breakouts since then. I now use it everyday morning and night. It is not greasy at all and easy to be absorbed by skin, and it is very suitable for hummid weather in Florida.
I believe the smell of this product is an issue. I use the original formula. First time I thought I smell fish. But, I guess I like the product a lot so somehow I tolerant the smell. After a while, I just get used to the smell.
I will suggest to try a small sample for first time user. If it doesn't work on your face, you can use on your neck area as well.
Hope this review helps.
Review: Not for Sensitive Skins-- Perfume is Unnecessary!

Not for Sensitive Skins-- Perfume is Unnecessary
Why would a company put such a heavy perfume in a facial moisturizer? It seems that the majority of the negative reviews are because of the odor.
I usually use Clinique, or Bare Minerals which is completely fragrance-free. Even then, I sometimes get reactions (usually to chemical sunscreens that are in a lot of day creams).
This product is not a good choice for women who have sensitive skin. It didn't make me break out, because it actually burned and I had to take it off immediately. This product contains Diazolidinyl Urea which is irritating to a lot of people (including me).
Conclusion: Lots of good reviews, so I guess it's worth a try, but skip it if you don't like perfumed moisturizers.
Review: Awful!
Beauty product: 1 Stars
I bought this moisturizer based on all of the rave reviews I've read thru the years -- and I absolutely hated it! The smell is terrible and it made my face break out. A previous reviewer mentioned she thought all of the 1-star reviews were either bogus or from a "mole" in another company -- and I can assure you that I am neither. I'm just trying to find a great moisturizer -- and this ain't it! Keep in mind that not everybody's skin is the same, so of course there are going to be some of us out there who aren't impressed with this product.
