PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
- "This is a very good moisturizer i really don't like that my moisturizers have smells to them because sometimes the fragrances can clog up your pores but using this has really helped my skin. It protects from any environmental damages and it is very hydrating the smell is the only downside but my skin looks so dewy and it is hypoallergenic so it wont clog pores. So anyone with acne prone skin this is your match made in heaven " in 97 reviews
- "I've been a loyal customer of philosophy for as long as I can remember. Every winter I stock up on this stuff because my face gets so dry. After a couple of uses I noticed a huge change in my face. My face was back to glowing and it wasn't dry at all...and not too oily. Its great for year round dry skin too! I use it sometimes in the summer when my face decides to lose its moisture!" in 90 reviews
- "I have super sensitive skin and have a hard time finding moisturizers that don't clog my pores. I love this one so much and honestly never even noticed the smell. It's really lightweight which is exactly what I was looking for! " in 74 reviews

From the first time I used this product I could see a difference in my skin. I highly recommend it to anyone with dry or sensitive skin.
I love this moisturizer! It doesn’t feel thick and heavy and my face thanks me every time I use it! It is pricey but definitely worth it!
This stuff rocks a little goes a very long way it doesn't feel greasy it ab when i use it regularlsorbed quickly and my skin looks amazi
Love Hope in a jar so much! I would by it as much as I could but it can get a little pricey. This tub does last a good amount of time.
Great cold cream cleaner! Worked with my sensitive skin, however, it left too much of an oily residue afterwards that made me break out
This is great, it hydrates the skin and helps with aging only downfall is if you have sensitive skin the fragrance will burn your skin
Perfect moisturizer. It hydrated my face without it feeling greasy. Plus a little goes a long way so you really get your moneys worth
It's ok. Not a fan of the smell. But it works on light acne. I wouldn't recommend only because more stuff out there that works better.
My favorite for moisturizer that doesn't leave skin greasy, clogged up, or overly shiny. It's my go to in my lineup of facial products:
I have oily skin so although I think this product is really great, i think they have other moisturizers that work best w oily skin.

Lisa, I don't currently use this moisturizer, but I have in the past. I think that it is a good moisturizer, but I can't say that it made a huge difference in my skin. It did it's job...it felt nice on my skin and didn't irritate it (I have sensitive skin and rosacea), however I didn't find it to be any different compared to other moisturizers I've used. Hope this helps!
I tried this product from a sample. Anyone else think the smell is terrible?

Philosophy's Hope in a Jar is one of the most terrible smelling moisturizers ever made on this planet. Some people are coming on here and reviewing Renewed Hope In A Jat, which is a totally separate product and lumping it in with the Hope in a Jar which is still on the market today and is a totally separate product from Renewed Hope In A Jar. Hope in a Jar smells like rotten fish mixed with a whole bunch of other foul, putrid odors thst equates to the most funkiest moisturizer I have ever probably smelled. I have absolutely no idea how this product ever made it to the market. It smells absolutely disgusting, is way overpriced, and does nothing truly worthwhile for one's skin at all. This moisturizer has gone as far as to even make me gag, a number of times, because of just how bad it smells. And, no the putrid smell has nothing to do with it having gone bad or being expired, because every jar I have gotten of it has that same off putting, nauseating smell to it. For anyone that tries to convince you that this stuff actually smells good, please take it with a grain of salt and keep it moving.
How is this product on sensitive skin? My skin is dry and tends to be irritated very easily.

I have dry sensitive skin that hates almost any product I use but I did not have any issues with this at all.
How soon do you see the affects after using this moisturizer?

I saw it immediately and so did my boyfriend. He commented on my skin the first day I used it and he didn't even know I was trying something new.
Does it have a strong smell or is it a light scent?

I've only had samples of this but I didn't notice a strong scent when I used it.
