Love It - 03.19.10
Quick Take: dimishes fine lines, tightening, preventative

I got this first in the Advanced Make up Optional kit and I love everything in it. My skin is so soft and smooth. You can really tell a huge difference in my skin. My skin is less red and looks so much healthier since I started the regimen. The serum absorbes very quickly.

Quick Take: dimishes fine lines, tightening, eliminated minor dry patches

When Hope Is Not Enough is now a staple of my skincare routine...I love the subtle but important improvements to my skin's moisture and wrinkle smoothing of WHINE. My skin also seems to be brighter, more glowing and firmer after three monthes of continued use.

Love it! - 03.17.10
Quick Take: dimishes fine lines, tightening, preventative

This product is wonderful. It really does what it says. I won't be without it! My esthetician sees the difference when I go in for a facial. My skin is much firmer and smoother.

When hope is not enough...try philosophy! - 03.15.10
Quick Take: tightening, preventative, evens out skin tone

I have been using this for about a month now and absolutely love it! I hit my 30's recently and started to really notice my skin starting to age a little bit. So, this was one of those products that I had heard about and had to try. Now, I can't live without it and my skin is smooth and firm and feels so soft! this is a great product for all women!

I have been using this serum for several years now.
I did try others, but none work as well as this one does.
I would never go without it.

This is a great serum for softening skin. I use it twice a day and it really smooths and softens. It also firms and tightens my skin.

Quick Take: dimishes fine lines, tightening, preventative

I used this serum a few years ago and I haven't used it for a while. I decided that I needed to go back to the products that made my husband notice my skin. And now he uses it too.

hope it will be enough - 03.03.10
I have been using this after I read several positive reviews. I haven't noticed any difference yet. It's been apx 2 weeks. I ordered the Vitamin C boost as well as the mini collection. Just got them yesterday. I hope the products help or make some difference! I will update this review if I notice any difference. Maybe it takes more time.

Quick Take: tightening

I don't know about this stuff yet- not enough time has passed. The smell really bugs me though- I feel like I'm putting essence of Christmas tree on my face. I love the smell of Christmas trees, but not for my face!!!

This product gives almost immediate results. I was without it for a few months and will not let this happen again, my skin looks so much younger and feels tighter!

Love most products from Philosophy but this serum made me breakout horribly. I have combination, sensitive skin and this did not work well on it. Will not purchase again.

so far so good..... - 02.28.10
Quick Take: not sure yet

I used this for about a week and my face started to break out so I gave it a rest....... now I am back and waiting for the break outs to begin but I guess it'll take a while. I REALLLLLY want this to work because I love how it makes my skin feel....... I want to glow and be really clear...... not sure what else to use. I have acne prone, very oily skin. We shall see!

Quick Take: dimishes fine lines, anti-aging

I used this serum once or twice (honestly!!) and immediately received comments from girlfriends that something was "different" about my makeup. They said that my skin looked fresh, almost "glowy"...I use it morning and night and have loved the results!! a good buy!!

Feels GREAT - 02.23.10
Quick Take: preventative, smooths complexion, healthy

I love love love this serum. I bought it as part of the advanced makeup optional kit. My main concern was not aging, but hoping it could repair damage from years of acne, and large open pores. The whole kit was good, but this is by far my favorite. It absorbs so quickly, and my skin feels firmer and smoother, also feels more moisturized. This gives my skin that 'drink' I was looking for. So refreshing. I definitely have noticed an overall smoother, brighter complexion after 2 months of using this. I tried another brands serum after finishing the kit, and immediately returned it to repurchase this. There is no substitute for this one! Also, some people are complaining of breakouts. I must say my acne has actually cleared since using this. It is not greasy, or pore clogging at all.

Quick Take: moisturizing

This is a great light moisture serum for your winter face. It soaks right in and leaves the skin soft and glowing.
