Getting Philosophical about a moisturiser.

PHILOSOPHY 

RENEWED HOPE IN A JAR

It has been years since I was last acquainted with the Philosophy brand, I had a huge love of a Vitamin C powder that I used everyday and the facial peel duo which gave my skin a super smooth feel. As time moves on, there were so many brands to choose from and then I worked for Yves Saint Laurent which gave me nice selection of skincare to use. 

Now I have returned and headed towards the popular pot of moisturiser 'Hope In A Jar' not just any jar though because it is renewed. 

This jar offers non-stop renewal technology which refines the texture of the skin, which will help improve the appearance of pores. 

Follow this with a dewy and smooth looking skin that is constantly hydrated.

As with all products containing AHA's be aware that this can make the skin sensitive in the sun and prone to burn easier. 

Pout Thoughts:

I have always admired the simplicity of the packaging, more font than fancy, which I rather like.

There is no discernible fragrance with this, the cream is rich but not overly thick, it works seamlessly into the skin and leaves a non fussy base for makeup application. Although it doesn't leave a dewy finish on my skin which is generally my preference, I really like this finish - my skin texture is smooth to the touch, not matte, just even. Skin is hydrated all day, the feel of my skin and look throughout the day tells me this is a definite product for the re-purchase list.
