In case you have not ever heard of the brand Philosophy, let me introduce you.

Philosophy “is a lifestyle brand that celebrates feeling well and living joyously.” The star products of the brand are it’s skin care products, inspired by years of medical research that have changed the way plastic surgeons, leading dermatologists and customers treat their skin. The company believes in heath and wellness rather than health in beauty - saying that “only when you feel good, can you truly be the best that you can be”. The company tag line -Philosophy: the best cosmetic is great looking skin.

Best known for Hope in A Jar, as it was named by Oprah in the mid 1990’s as one of her favorite things. The brand, and the hope, took off from there.

 
Hope is what Philosophy brings to the market. If Hope in a Jar original formula is not for you, there is hope, as there is the perfect formula for your skin care needs.

Hope in a Jar SPF 20

This is the original high-performance moisturizer with the added benefit of a must-have for daytime, SPF 20. This light cream hydrates the skin, provides a gentle exfoliation, and helps improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, texture, and tone.

Hope in a Jar Therapeutic Moisturizer for Dry, Sensitive Skin

 
This is a more rich, high performance moisturizer with antioxidants to help reduce environmental damage. The additional ingredient of rice bran oil, is an excellent source of vitamin E, as well as vitamin A for softening skin, increasing elasticity and preventing thickening of skin.

When Hope is Not Enough

This facial firming serum contains a powerful blend of potent ingredients to revitalize and firm the skin, while working to reduce the signs of premature aging.

Hope in a Tube Eye & Lip Cream

This is a spot treatment aging skin around the eyes and lips. It works wonders on skin that is dehydrated and showing signs of environmental stress.

Hope in a Bottle

 
This bottle contains a formula for more problematic, oily, or acne prone skin. It is a daily oil-free moisturizer that contains microencapsulated salicylic acid to help correct then enhance the skins texture and appearance.

When Hope is Not Enough Replenishing Night Cream

 
This is the richest cream of them all, but is a non-greasy formula. The cream not only works on it’s own, it works with your other night time treatment products to help seal in the benefits for the optimal results. This cream is full of important antioxidants, to help smooth and soothe the skin while building up the skins defenses.
