Renewed Hope in a Jar

Absolutely hated this moisturizer! The packaging is okay,sturdy and compact enough for traveling.However,it didn't hydrate my skin.Not only did it not hydrate my skin,it ROLLED OFF my face! I tried waiting longer for it to dry rather than the usual 10mintues,tried sweeping it on,patting it on,waited for my toner to dry down and then put it on,put it on while my toner was still wet,NOTHING …Read more

I really liked this moisturizer. Lightweight and absorbs fast and doesn't make me greasy or dry. Not sure if it's a placebo effect but I swear my skin looks more vibrant after using!!!

I love this stuff. Or reference, I’m combo skin and acne prone, I did accutane about 12 years ago. It’s a light to medium weight face cream. I have been using it at night, and every morning when I wake up my skin is clear, plump, moisturized, and a bit brighter. It’s got a bit of glycolic acid which I was worried would be too much with my retinol, but it hasn’t caused sensitivity at all. I …Read more

Listen... I was a huge fan of Cetaphil moisturizer for many years. But that was years ago when their formula was different. Now, Cetaphil feels greasy and just sits on my face after I apply it. So I picked this up from Ulta. It's amazing. It sinks into my skin immediately after I apply it, which is great because I can put my makeup on right after. It also makes my skin feel hydrated and …Read more

This is my second jar with this moisturizer. I have sensitive combo skin and this one never gave me any reaction or pimples. It is lightweight moisturizer and absorbs really quick. My makeup looks great and my poors look smaller. Overall I like this moisturizer, I just wish it would come in a pump or tube.

I had originally wrote a review after I tried a sample and thought it was too drying. I recently have been exploring the Philosophy line again and feel like they are the best. I don't know why I ever stopped. Their prices are even wonderful compared to other brands at Sephora. I still think this moisturizer is too drying if you have dry skin. It's a light daytime moisturizer that works …Read more

I've gone through almost a whole jar of this, and it's just kind of... meh. Not awful, but not great. First of all, though: why does it have to come in a jar!? Like, I get that the whole name is related to the packaging, but why not (Renewed) Hope in a bottle? Bottled hope? Jars are unhygienic and the formula isn't stable when exposed to oxygen. So even if this little jar contains …Read more

My review will be short & to the point:
Received a small sample tube of this for free. Would never buy this because A). the scent is too strong. I don't like it at all. Too perfumey. It would have gotten 3 lippies if not for the strong scent. & B). while this wasn't a bad moisturizer, it was certainly nothing special. There are better, far less expensive moisturizers out …Read more

I really like this product for my normal/combination skin. My pores in the t-zone have gotten larger with age, and this really makes them look better. It's not quite moisturizing enough for my cheek areas, but works fine everywhere else. And I, too, wish it were in a tube.

Not only am I using this cream but also the eye and SPF 30 versions too. This version I use at night and I really like it. The cream is light and absorbent and I wake up to better looking skin. The AHA in this is really helping my skin look freshly renewed. However, the SPF 30 version is impossible for foundation. I love the high sunscreen, but when putting liquid foundation over it, the cream …Read more
