just okay

Quick Take: good value
Expected so much from this product, wanted to love it, but... too harsh for my skin, some results, but not dramatic improvement on skin. and, when i was returning, sephora store associate mentioned that it should not be used daily (i used it every night). will try Korres next.. If you like this product, i recommend waiting until it goes on sale (online only, never saw it on sale in stores)

In parts, it's ok.
-03.21.13
Quick Take: travel-friendly
I reviewed this when I first started using it---within days of having purchased it. I should have waited. First, let me say I do like the retinol pads. I believe they are affective. The moisturizer is way too slick and greasy feeling. I tend to be oily and it cannot be worn under my makeup. I am still trying to lighten some discolorations using the lightening cream, which I like coming in a pump so it is protected from oxydation. The facial cleanser, Purity, is just ok. I seriously think I'd have done better sticking with the Alpha Hydrox cleanser. All in all, I think it's an OK set. I won't buy the whole set again.

Results but Not Miraculous
-03.15.13
Quick Take: expensive
I've been on this program for 2.5 months. I don't see the extremely positive results attested to by other reviewers, nor the dramatic improvements in clarity and radiance promised on the jar (my skin was in good condition when I started). I'll finish the kit, but thought it was long enough for an honest review. At first, my skin looked decidedly stressed in the morning after applying the retinoid pads at night. After several weeks, my skin adjusted and there MAY be a reduction in fine lines and wrinkles, but it is pretty subtle. Results are most visible first thing in the am, but that could be from lying down all night. Don't know that I will repurchase the whole regimen. I like the way the serum goes on and feels, so might buy that again. The moisturizer is too heavy for my skin and using it produces whiteheads every time. Jury is still out on the retinoid pads.

This stuff is the best. My skin is glowing, my once enlarged pores are tiny and my complexion is even. RX retinoids were too harsh for me. This kit has done the trick without drying out my skin. Love.

I cant say enough good things. i have oily slightly aging skin with large pores and just after one use i could notice a difference in my skin. after a week i loved it even more. my pores seemed smaller and my skin had a nice glow/sheen to it after. I love the pads, amazing. although my set came with a face serum instead of the eye cream. which i cant find now and i loved it as a trio to the set. So worth the money. i have tried so many products and i keep coming back to Philosophy- love thier products.

Why was this discontinued?

Quick Take: good value
I love this product! I have seen incredible changes in my skin's color, pore size, and fine lines. I used to have blochy skin and didn't like to go anywhere without makeup. Now I barely notice when I'm not wearing any! I am extremely disappointed that this set is now discontinued! I don't think I can afford these products separately.

Not a miracle
-01.24.13
My skin is acne prone and oily, but I wanted to improve wrinkles and fade acne and sun spots. I usually use retin a every night and my face has been clear for a long time. Wanted to try something different for my wrinkles but after using this for 2 weeks my face broke out in pimples everywhere. Also, the moisturizer is not good if you have oily skin!!! I will use the kit on my neck, chest and hands since it costs so much $$$. Very disappointed. Also, I don't see why people like the pads, they are completely dry after pouring all the serum on top. Just feel a little greasy.

Quick Take: good value, travel-friendly
I have been using this for ten days now and can see that my pores have dimished and my skin does appear to be smoother. I will order this again, however I do agree that there should be some kind of "welcome" and some instructions. They took the time to put a card describing the product, but fell flat with not being detailed in how to use it, especially the retinol pads, which I guessed at using in small circles all over my face. This seems to be doing the job. I am going to stick with this for six months, to be fair, and see what I think after that lapse of time. I would say get it. It is easy to do (once you figure it out) and it is effective.

LOVE this Kit!!
-01.21.13
Each one of these skincare products is amazing! Combined they helped smoothe out my skin and remove my natural redness in my skintone. The Miracle Worker moisturizer goes on so light and is very effective, its the best moisturizer I've ever used and I've used many! It helped make my pores less noticeable. I highly recommend these products to everyone looking for something that actually works!

The product that does work but needs work
-01.21.13
Quick Take: philosophy miracle worker set, smoother skin, brightens skin
I was shocked to find no instructions pamphlet.
The containers had peel off labels with tiny print minimum instructions instead.
If a person is purchasing an anti aging product, then, that consumer has eye sight that is not as good as when young, so, this was a major negative for this product.
I was determined to try it though, this product is very well known, so, it has to be good, right ?
Yes, it is very good.
I have seen results. My skin has a much nicer smooth appearance.
I will continue this beauty regiment until the jars are empty, but, it's doubtful I will reorder.
The instructions were so minimal in both print size and content that I am still not sure if I am applying the product in the correct order.
So, good product, but, so involved in the making of the product the company has over looked the consumer that will be using it.
No friendly welcome, no pamphlet about anything to include instructions which is simply ignorant, sad to be so blunt, but, this is an expensive product that should represent itself better, because it does show results.

Quick Take: fabulous, effective
I am in love with this kit! It's not exactly as described as there is not an eye cream, but the product is truly a miracle worker. I'm a nurse and have aged hands with all the hand washing. The wipes are used on the backs of hands after the face and literally within one day I noticed a difference. My face is smoother and pores are less visible too. WOW! I'll be buying this again and again!

This is my first experience with retinoids, and it seems pretty great. I use it every night - when I get up in the morning my face seems super oily, but maybe that is what it's supposed to do. Overall, I think my skin looks better.

This is an awesome skin care kit if you are concerned about slowing down the aging process. Retinol is Vitamin A and our skin need that in order to remain healthy.

-01.18.13
Quick Take: effective, evens skintone
I purchased this when it was on sale, and additionally with my VIB holiday gift card. It came out to be an amazing price for these 3 full size products. I've been using the eye concentrate and retinol pads at night, along with the Dr. Dennis Gross alpha beta pads, and I've noticed my skin becoming much smoother in both texture and tone.
Only caveat was that the face cream is too rich for my oily/acne prone skin, so I gave it to a friend who already uses and loves the cream.
