I love philosophy products because they do not add additional cost into marketing and packaging the product like the other large department store brands. I know all my dollars are going toward a great product.

Not at all greasy. A little goes a long way so it is good value and it absorbs quickly. My skin used to be a bit flakey in a couple of patches and now it is nice and smooth. I have been using this for about 3 weeks.

I have used a few jars of this and really do like it, it's expensive but lasts a long time. Some people seem bothered by the smell but it really doesn't smell that strong to me.
This jar seems thinner, more watery than others I've used though don't know if I got a bad jar or they have changed the formula. Works the same I just don't think it will last as long.

I moved to a high, mountainous elevation last fall and the dry air wreaked havoc on my skin; my old product just couldn't cut it. I did try Olay Total Effects and was totally turned off by the nasty residue it left. I basically tried HiaJ on a whim after reading several reviews, and have been very pleased with it. My skin has regained a normal feel, blemishes are fewer and I"m not having any trouble at all with my skin being oily (well, oilier than usual)- Hope sinks in quickly and lasts all day. The smell is strong out of the jar, but I don't find it unpleasant at all and it doesn't linger.

Hope in a Jar is a very basic, no-frills, daily moisturizer that helps skin retain moisture, makes fine lines look plumped-up, and makes skin feel soft. It's light and completely greaseless, so it can be worn under makeup or layered over an antiaging treatment for day and/or night wear. I like it, but don't love it, for two completely personal reasons: 1.Essential Oil: It contains lavender essential oil. This isn't an inherently bad thing, but, for some reason, when I use anything with lavender, after a few days it begins to feel like hydrochloric acid on my skin, causing my skin to become red, irritated, bumpy, and painful. (I tried Hope in A Jar for Dry, Sensitive Skin, and, unfortunately, it also has lavender as well as sage oils.) For centuries many, many, many people have found lavender to be soothing and helpful for skin, so my experience with it is a "red flag" only to others who are sensitive to/allergic to lavender oil. Most people love lavender in skin care, so it may be wonderful for your skin. 2. The Smell: When sniffed from the jar, this moisturizer smells fresh, with a soft lavender smoothness. Unfortunately for me, it smells really bad when it's on my skin. This smell lasts all day, and I constantly found myse;f thinking I smelled a "wet long-haired cat." In bed, my husband wondered outloud, "What stinks?" (Me.) In more concrete terms, it smells like Vaseline mixed with moth balls. Even though I've made a lot of negative statements about this moisturizer, I still recommend trying it (unless you have the above issues with lavender and odor malfunctions, of course). Hope in A Jar has a wonderful airy texture, like Cool Whip for the face, and it truly helps keep moisture in skin. I have no idea if it contains exfoliants or healthy amounts of antioxidants or such, but as far as I can tell it's a fine moisturizer. I think it's one of the biggest selling moisturizers in the entire world, so it must do something right!

I live in the west where it is dry. I think this moisturizer would be wonderful for climates that are humid and moist. It's a bit to light for me and it does not absorb quickly. Also might be a good product for a young person.

I'm 31 and started seeing deep dry lines on my forehead and dry skin on the rest of my face. I started using this product last winter and my skin has transformed! The lines are barely there and my skin is plump and smooth. It may be a little expensive but worth every penny and I think it works a lot better than the more expensive products I've tried.
