Product Description
What it is:An advanced skincare system for skin that is congested, blemished, and acne prone.What it is formulated to do:When used regularly as a system, this kit will help decongest and minimize the appearance of large pores; help reduce blemishes and excess shine; and help minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Instead of simply owning makeup that conceals, you'll own the clearest, most youthful, radiant skin of your life. If you like to wear makeup, this advanced skincare system will allow you to look 100 percent better wearing 50 percent less makeup.What else you need to know:Philosophy believes the best cosmetic is makeup optional skin; skin that makes wearing makeup an option instead of a requirement. Often times, specific skin concerns cause us to feel self-conscious about our skin and we compensate by covering it up with makeup. If you struggle with clogged pores, excess shine and oil, and find yourself fighting the signs of aging, this kit is just what the doctor ordered.Kit contains:- 8 oz Purity Made Simple (one-step facial wash)- 1 oz When Hope Is Not Enough (a peptide-rich, oil-free firming and lifting serum)- 2 oz Hope In A Bottle (topical treatment moisturizer for congested skin)- 0.5 oz Hope In A Tube High-Density Eye And Lip Firming Cream- Plus a three-week supply of the Microdelivery Peel

Summary: GREAT! 2008-11-04
Comment: This is my first review on amazon ever because well...I just didn't bother. But this product has made me SO SATISFIED that I've decided to write something for it! I have used this entire kit for a little more than 1 week and today was my first time using the microdelivery peel. My skin is normally good but it looks AMAZING after i washed off the peel! It is much softer, and my pores are significantly smaller. One thing to keep in mind though: I have nail polish and I think i carelessly dipped my nails into step II of the peel and now my nail polish has gone a little weird. I know this is my fault =( but just be careful girls! I also love the smell of the face wash and when hope is not enough. They are soothing and the face wash wakes me up every morning now. Try it and you won't regret!!!

Summary: I wish this had worked. 2008-04-23
Comment: I hate to be the only one writing a less than happy review, but this product didn't live up to my expectations. It did improve my skin a little (I was using Proactiv before and it DID NOT work at all for me.) I really liked the cleanser, it has a great feel and smell to it. The other products didn't really seem to do much. It cleared my skin up a bit, but left my skin with a rather rough feel to it. I think that maybe I just have exceptionally difficult adult acne.

Summary: Great Product 2008-02-10
Comment: So far this product has really helped my skin. It took a couple of weeks to really see results, which is something to expect when you start any new skin care routine. My pores appear smaller, my skin is smoother and firmer, and I am having fewer breakouts. I have poly-cystic ovary syndrome and therefore have a great deal of trouble with my skin. I use a prescription medication for cystic acne, but it dries out my skin and leaves it looking terrible. This routine has made it look so much better, I highly recommend it.

Summary: Great face repair kit!! 2008-01-18
Comment: I love these products. I went from a red, patchy, itchy face to skin that is smooth and relieved from irritation. I've continued to purchase this brand of skincare. Try it for yourself if you've got the 'red itchies' on your face. This just may do the trick for you too!!

Summary: great for acne 2008-01-12
Comment: I usually do not write for these types of things but all of the postings on here were really helpful to me when I decided to purchase this kit from philosophy. I bought this approximately 3 weeks ago and I have already been back to the local make up counter to check out and get more product. I have had what I would call cystic acne not a lot of them but probably 3 or four on each side of the face that hurt and never seem to fully clear. I will say that although my face has not stopped breaking out completely the ones that I have come to the surface and then dry up usually within a day. They also sent a sample of their vitamin C peel that I think works wonders. It helps to clear off the dry skin from when my acne dries up. I have only been using for three weeks so I am hoping that after using religiously for a while that maybe my acne will clear up all together.
I will say for those that were saying that the product smelled bad that there are some products that do not have the greatest smell. The hope in a bottle does smell a little something like sour milk but it is nothing that you wouldn't be able to handle. Especially if you have acne and want to clear it up, the smell is hardly anything to worry about. All the other products I think had very little smell at all.
One of the products I went out to buy at the counter are the Vitamin C pads that you swipe over your face in between the Vitamin C peels. The jury is still out on this one. They are very juicy but they do leave a little tacky residue on your face. I haven't noticed that it has effected my makeup though as I usually put the moisturizer on over the top of it. I also purchased the Oxygen Peel as the lady at the makeup counter thought maybe this would be a bettter option for my acne. She thought maybe the grains in the Vitamin C peel might actually cause more acne by irritating my skin. I usually switch off now. I usually do one of each during the week.
The last product I will let you know about is the hope in a tube for eyes and lips. This also comes in the kit and I have noticed a big difference around my lips. It seems to fill the tiny lines around your lips pretty good. They are much less noticeable and once it wears of from eating and stuff throughout the day you can tell a difference. I have not noticed as much around my eyes, but this may be because I wear glasses and don't pay as much attention to that area.
hope all of this helps somebody out there.
