Bought this while I was living in San Francisco. The dry climate caused fine lines to surface. At the time I was 22. This did nothing to reduce my fine lines. Wasn't moisturizing or effective at all. I'm not sure it did anything. If it can't reduce a 22 year old's fine lines (very fine), I'm not sure it would be effective for anything more extreme. I switched back to Dr. Dennis Gross Alpha Beta Daily Face Peel and Lush bar serums and that worked better to take away the fine lines. Now using Dermalogica AgeSmart line and completely fine line free, at almost 25 :)

Horrible... tried to use this twice - 3 months separating each use (gave it a one week timeframe each time I tried, with the results I was scared to use more than one week) and same nightmare end result each time. I'm 32 and my skin is still pretty oily - I use 2-3 of those blue sheets a day for the oil, and I didn't have any real wrinkles yet, just a deepening of smile lines over the past year - which aren't a big deal since I know teenagers who have those deeper than mine.

Purchased at the recommendation of the sales person at the Edge / Dillards along with my Clarisonic Mia.

I purchased the "kit" containing cleanser, treatment, spot treatment, & day lotion... 1st time using last Fall, and then again two weeks ago (when I ran out of other products).

I had the same results both times - my skin became raw, super sensitive, and eventually cracked & peeled all over. The peeling led to congested pores and the biggest cystic type zit I've had since the last time I used this product. I also believe it actually CAUSED two tiny fine line wrinkles to come up on my upper lip - they came up after my skin in that area cracked & peeled, I just hope they will fade over time.

My skin is finally recovering after a weekend of slathering on moisturizer, exfoliating 2-3 times a day, using my Tanda ZAP & wearing no makeup. I went back to Philosophy Purity Made Simple this week when it arrived, and finally finally getting back to "normal".

Very rich and moisturizing formula, but too much if ur very acne prone. 0.5 is not strong enough to be an effective acne treatment! Im oily skinned with mild to moderate acne, but 31 with fine lines developing so I figured id get an acne and anti aging treatment in one. Wrong, after 2 weeks my pores were so clogged and congested I was having to wring the gunk out. This is for aging women with normal to dry skin ONLY and who have only very mild acne. NOT FOR OILY SKINNED LADIES!

This was a pretty meh product in terms of results. My skin was fine while I used it, but I didn't notice any major improvement in acne *or* wrinkles. Also, .5% salicylic acid is really low. Texture and application were nice, though. Not buying again.

I've been using this product for about a year now and it has really cleared my skin. I'm not sure about the wrinkle reducing part, but it hasn't caused me to get any additional wrinkles which is great. I apply acne.org AHA moisturizer afterwards and my skin looks great!

The entire skin care industry is predicated on two things: a) we can't go back in time; and b) they're counting on us not to realize that correlation does not necessarily mean causation. How many times have I wished, okay, now let's rewind the clock and see what happens to my skin when I use another product. And without extensive rigorous testing, it's not possible to say for sure that using a specific product caused your skin to behave in a particular way.

As the cruel reality of perimenopause seems to involve simultaneous acne and wrinkles, at least on me, I welcome a product that handles both problems. I began using the product in the fall, a time when I'm not exposing myself to much sun anyway, but I am seeing a small improvement in line smoothing on my face. However, the effect on my acne (oh, how difficult it was to type that phrase) was temporary. When I first used it, it seemed to be effective, but lately (February/March 2011) it seems helpless against major breakouts in the T-zone. I use one pump spread over the whole face in the morning, before makeup. I don't use it at night, and still treat myself to my beloved philosophy Microdelivery Peel on Saturday nights. If this continues, I may have to downgrade this to "would not purchase again."
