I recently started using Philosophy line of skin care products and cannot say enough great things about them.  The products I use are:

• Philosophy Hope in a Jar Daily Facial Moisturizers for All Skin Types
• Hope Is Not Enough Anti-aging Moisturizer with SPF 20

Here's what I like about about Philosophy Hope in a Jar :

• The consistency is perfect -- not too creamy but definitely feels very moisturizing
• I saw immediate results!!!  My skin looked visibly more radiant after about a week of use.  I went traveling for a week and didn't use it, and my skin felt duller.
• Love how my skin feels -- I think the product has lactic acids which gently exfoliates skin -- my face definitely feels smoother and I have noticed that my makeup goes on better
• The product did not irritate my sensitive skin -- I tend to have skin that gets irritated and red easily, especially with many of the high tech skincare ingredients -- but my skin was never irrated with this product
• The price!!!  I used to use Creme de la Mer, also an excellent product, but it's ~$100/oz, where as Hope in a Jar is more like ~$20/oz or even less if you buy it on eBay!

Given all these positives, no wonder Philosophy Hope in a Jar was chosen by Oprah Winfrey was one of her favorite products in her Oprah's Favorites show!

Here's what I like about about Hope Is Not Enough :

• Smells so nice -- love the hint of lavender -- reminds me of being in Provence in the summer!  I find that most SPF products tend to smell so "medical" and artificial, but this one smells really nice.
• Perfect consistency -- SPF products can either feel very thick or too runny, but this one is perfect consistency

If you choose to get Philosophy Hope in a Jar, beware that the product comes in a couple of different formulas:

• Philosophy Hope in a Jar (original formula)
• Hope in a Jar for Dry and Sensitive Skin (This one doesn't have the acids.  However, like I said, I have sensitive skin tendencies but didn't really need this product.  Maybe it's necessary if you have truly very sensitive skin.)
• Hope in a Jar Hydrating Mask

You can buy Philosophy products at Nordstrom or Sephora, but why pay full price when you can get it for a Discount on eBay?
