My new skin cream
-04.23.13
My mother used this and now I know why her skin looked to beautiful. In a matter of weeks, my skin is plumper, my age spots have faded and the wrinkles are not so deep. I love this cream.

disappointed
-04.18.13
I was looking for a richer cream for the drier winter months and had been happy with some other Philosophy products. This did not work well for me at all. It is so thick it is almost impossible to spread over your face, and takes forever to"melt" in. Wearing it during the day under makeup was out of the question, as was using it other than during the very cold and dry months. I never noticed any extra volume or lift, but honestly didn't expect any!

Review 6 for Full Of Promise™ Dual-Action Restoring Cream
Full of Promise lives up to its name
-03.25.13
Quick Take: amazing, promising
This is a very promising product. I am a (young) 50 year old and I am thrilled with this product. If i had it when I were younger I probably wouldn't need it today LOL! Get it, use it, love it.

Review 7 for Full Of Promise™ Dual-Action Restoring Cream
AWESOME Moisturizer
-03.18.13
Quick Take: intensive
I am a huge fan of this moisturizer. Even though it's marketed as anti-aging, I love what it does to my 26-year-old combination skin. It's moisturizing enough for me (which takes a lot) without making me break out. My one complaint is that it doesn't absorb perfectly, which leads to a little sitting on top of the skin for a while. But it actually looks very matte, so it doesn't bother me much.

Review 8 for Full Of Promise™ Dual-Action Restoring Cream
OK product
-03.15.13
Quick Take: absorbs quickly
It is an OK cream.I don't know if it's worth the money though(it's around $100 in Canada for the small jar, 60ml) as you get the same results with less expensive brands.
I have been using it for 2 weeks, twice a day now and I have not really seen any difference in my skin.
It kind of made my skin break out on my chin a little bit which it rarely happens....
I will try The miracle worker and Hope in a jar night cream to see if I find something that works better.
It is weird, I have tried the sample and it was fine and I was impressed by it but the actual product seems to be less potent and give less results.....

A baby's bottom!
-03.13.13
If you love hope in a jar, you will love this even more! It has an extra touch of softness that hydrates, firms, and leaves your skin glowing! I use this product as my Am and Pm moisturizer! As my title states, your skin truly feels as soft as a baby's bottom!!!

Review 10 for Full Of Promise™ Dual-Action Restoring Cream
Not For Me;(
-03.06.13
Was using HIAJ, which is not really moisturizing enough for me (maybe in summer months) Thought I'd try this but am disappointed. Not seeing any tightening or firming (maybe I don't need it yet?). Will return and try Miracle. I DO love Philosophy's products and get compliments on my skin all the time. And I'm 60 this year!

Review 11 for Full Of Promise™ Dual-Action Restoring Cream
Amazing!
-02.28.13
I was nervous at first because the cream seems heavy, but when I woke up the next morning my skin was soo smooth. I can definitely tell my skin is tighter and brighter after a few uses! I will be buying this again!

Review 12 for Full Of Promise™ Dual-Action Restoring Cream
all day moisture
-02.25.13
I have dry skin and have struggled to find a moisturizer that isn't too heavy but will still keep my skin hydrated all day. I got a sample of this when I purchased the new serums. I tried it, not expecting much but was pleasantly surprised to find that my skin felt hydrated immediately and stayed that way all day. i was layering 2 moisturizers on, now I only use this one.

Review 13 for Full Of Promise™ Dual-Action Restoring Cream
Love It!
-02.17.13
I have been using this since it first came out. It is rich, yet it is absorbed into the skin easily. I feel like my skin has become softer and plumper. My friends and even some strangers tell me that I have such nice skin. That's good enough for me.

Love This Stuff

Quick Take: intensive
I use Philosophy products alot. This is a great product. Definetely better for aing (50+) skin. Much thicker than Hope in a Jar but doesn't feel greasy and absorbs really well.

Review 15 for Full Of Promise™ Dual-Action Restoring Cream
Dries my skin
-02.05.13
I give this lotion 3 stars because it does seem to make my skin look tighter and smoother. It is real thick and creamy which is nice too. On the negative side, it really makes my skin feel tight in a dry sort of uncomfortable way. I think I'm getting used to it by now. When I first started using it I was applying it several times a day or using a tinted moisturizer on top of it. I was using Philosophy's Miracle Worker so I will probably just go back to that when this container is empty. My skin is naturally very dry so maybe this just isn't the best fit for me.

Review 17 for Full Of Promise™ Dual-Action Restoring Cream
Wanted To Love It
-01.31.13
I read all the great reviews, and wanted to just love this cream! It was just okay. I used the whole jar, morning and night. I have fair, sensitive skin. On the plus side, this did not make me break out at all. It just honestly didn't really do anything. My skin didn't feel any different, or look any different. I guess I was hoping for more.

Moisturizing, firming...but not pore-clogging
-01.27.13
A lot of heavier moisturizers/treatments make me break out. I have sensitive skin and have bad reactions to a lot of products, especially heavier ones. Philosophy products cause no problems with my skin, and I have been using Full of Promise as my nighttime moisturizer for two weeks. LOVE!

Review 20 for Full Of Promise™ Dual-Action Restoring Cream

Sad Face
-01.21.13
Quick Take: not for everyone
I really wanted this to be the best thing ever. I do not consider my skin to be very sensitive, and can usually start using a new product without incident. The first day or two of using Full of Promise were fine, and my skin looked great...but then I began breaking out with these rough patches of tiny little pimples all over my face. I had to take it back. Upon taking it back I learned that it is not uncommon for a select few to be sensitive to Philosophy's products. I would advise using it on a small area of your face for a few days first, just in case!
