    It always amuses me to see such different takes on a product. This works for me. I think it's worth giving it a try if you have dry and sensitive skin or do not like fragranced face cream. I like...

    Awful moisturizer. Once again, I fell victim to packaging and hype and was very dissapointed. My skin is not prone to breakouts at all and the day after I tried this, I had 3 blemishes on my chin....

    I've been using Hope in a Jar for almost three months now, and I have to say that is one of the absolute worst creams I have ever used. The formula is very thick and it has caused me to break out...

    Its heavy. You can feel it on. It made me break out (cystic kind). It may have been on Oprah's favorite things, but if you are acne prone - forget it.

    I was underwhelmed by this product, esp. since "Hope in a Jar" has been touted extensively thanks to Oprah. And to be fair, maybe it does work for Oprah; it might work for most people but,...

    I did not have good luck with this product. In fact, the normal skin version felt much less stringent and provided more moisture than the specialty dry/sensitive version for my own very dry,...

    Pros: Got it as a sample Cons: Does not absorb well, sits on top of skin and makes it shiny.

    This is a great moisturizer. I love it. My face is combination and this has cleared my acne scars, I think because of the retinol in this product.

    I got this as part of a kit and it’s just okay. I have very dry skin in the winter -- and this helps, but it makes my face too greasy. I’ll be using this at night – to use it up, but won’t buy it...

    This product left my skin tight and needing moisture. Not enough for 50+ skin. I've returned it. Nothing special.
