Comments about Philosophy Hope In A Bottle:
Why on Earth did I drift away from this product for so long? After quite a hiatus, I purchased another bottle of this stuff. Though the price is a bit off-putting, I had a discount code and was going to receive a GWP on top of everything. I'm so glad I did! I had been using a salicylic acid spot treatment by Clinique for the occasional random breakouts on my sensitive skin. I realized this has twice the amount of salicylic acid (2%), and is gentle enough to use all over my face. Immediately, I noticed diminishing of blemishes and a smoothing of my skin texture. There is some dryness, but I've been able to use it four or five nights in a row without any adverse effects. My skin is very sensitive to many products, but no problems here as long as I moisturize in the morning. The best part about Hope in a Bottle is that I can put it on at night and sleep in it without fear of discoloring my pillow cases like I do with benzoyl peroxide products. It's an amazing product, and I won't let myself run out again. It's worth the splurge!

Comments about Philosophy Hope In A Bottle:
I bought a Philosophy travel kit to give the products a try and I was so impressed that I decided to buy the full sized items. I initially tried Hope in a jar (orig formula) and was very happy but I came across the "acne" fomulated mosturizer and decided to give it a try, and boy am I impressed. Granted, it has only been a few days but I see definite improvements in my skin and no new break outs! It is pricey and the smell isnt to great but I consider it a miracle product for me and worth the money.

I've been using this moisturizer for years! Even turned my kids on to it. My son, who was on Acutane was having such dry skin, found that this worked great without making him feel like he was using 'chick' moisturizer.

Comments about Philosophy Hope In A Bottle:
I don't typically write reviews, but I always read them! With "Hope in a Bottle," I've found myself coming back, bottle after bottle...
I've tried so many other products, from inexpensive to insanely expensive... but nothing has ever been GREAT enough to continue using, until this MAGIC in a bottle! (That's what I call it!!!)
"Hope in a Bottle..." has deffinetly given me hope for my skin.
I apply this product after using a face wash and my clairsonic - twice daily.
(The Clairsonic is also something everyone needs and something I can't live without)
It goes well under makeup.
I can tell a huge difference when using this product and when not using this product.
Initially I didn't notice anything... it was sort of all of a sudden... Kind of like, "Oh, wow, my skin is so nice!"
If you have oily/combination skin this is a must have!!! (I also reccomend a Clairsonic with the Acne treatment brush heads)

Comments about Philosophy Hope In A Bottle:
When this product was intially discountinued, I bought 3 bottles thinking it would be enough to get me through until I found a sufficient substitute... and when bottle #3 ran out I almost cried.
I tried several different drug store and department store products, including Philosophy Hope in a Jar Oil Free. My skin was either too dry or spotted with adult acne. Goldilocks, I was and then one day this little gem appeared online and in stores I almost cried again.
Trust me, NOTHING works like Hope in a Bottle.
Once again, my skin is clear and blemish free.
THANK YOU PHILOSPHY!!

Cons
- Pricey
Best Uses
- Acne Breakouts
Comments about Philosophy Hope In A Bottle:
I use this for acne breakouts. I'm not really sure why it is suggested as a moisturizer as well because I would never use it that way. However, it is a great spot treatment for acne breakouts. The only problem is that it is very expensive but I haven't found anything else that works as well. It does last along time. Buy when you can find it on sale.
Pros
- Evens Out Skin Tone
- Improves Skin Texture
- Non-Greasy
Cons
Best Uses

Comments about Philosophy Hope In A Bottle:
This product works so well. I've been using it twice a day for a week and the red marks from previous breakouts are fading and my skin is clearing up nicely. I wasn't sure I would like this, since I hate the smell of the Hope in a Jar, but the smell isn't too bad and it fades away after a little while. The smell is not enough to deter me from using this. Love it!

Comments about Philosophy Hope In A Bottle:
I have put a lot of effort into finding a moisturizer that won't irriate my combination skin. This stuff does the trick. I use it twice a day, every day. Occasionally, my skin feels tight after using but I'm not dealing with dry/oily skin anymore.
