This is not harsh at all or gritty, as are some other microdermabrasion products. The result after use is smooth, vibrant looking skin.

i mix 1 scoop of this with my moisturizer and spread a thin layer over my face and after about two to three uses i can already see my skin starting to brighten and look MUCH more healthy! 

well it's not the BEST moisturizer but i would recommend it,i still use it sometimes,it gives me a nice rosy glow while keeping my skin smooth and silky,its a good moisturizer if you're not looking for something intense 

i had yet to find skin care for my lips and there it was lol a lip exfoliant! this stuff is great,its like a mini-microdermabrasion for my lips,it keeps it soft and removes all the chapped dead skin off my lips,leaving with fresh looking and feeling lips! 

I love the feel of this light eye cream,it doesnt feel like my skin moisturizer.I dont have dark circles,so there is nothing to report there,but I do notice the minimizing of fine lines around my eye area.I do not have lines in the lip area so this should last a good while. 

I truly love this product after trying the dry sensitive skin formula.This is light and penetrates the skin very well.There is also no medicine smell like Ive read in other reviews on other sites.It doesnt take much on application so dont over apply. 

I am reviewing the formula for dry sensitive skin.While it did not have a bad smell to it,it kinda just sat on my skin,it was too heavy.My face felt and looked as if I had oily skin which I have never had,and it made my pores show! That was a first and I am 43 years old. 

I was hoping to like this, but I didn't. It didn't seem to be moisturizing enough for my skin which isn't even too dry in the first place. I dislike the unsanitary packaging and would much prefer a pump. All in all, there is no bang for the buck with this one. Will not repurchase.

This product thoroughly cleans off all kinds of makeup, eye/face/waterproof, tones the skin and doesn't make your face feel tight or stripped of it's natural oils afterward. It isn't fragranced, but has lots of natural extracts that make it smell really nice and clean, and it is fairly concentrated so a little goes a long way. Also, it's a great brush cleaner.

This moisturizer is amazing, and it works great for most combination skin types, and slightly dry skin types. If the small amount of oil in this formula causes you to break out, you should be using the oil-free Hope in a Bottle with Beta Hydroxy Acid which will benefit your skin type more. The original formula of Hope in a Jar contains lactic acid, a mild Alpha Hydroxy Acid, that gently exfoliates the skin while hydrating it. It also has beta glucan, an oat protein that acts as a preservative for the skin. If you dislike the smell of the cream, that is the culprit, although it makes skin look amazing. This cream is not average, or over-priced at all in my opinion. If you look at the price per ounce it is actually dirt cheap compared to other moisturizers in department stores. I would recommend against buying the giant 8-ounce size for $100+, as most face creams have a two-year shelf life at best once opened, and don't apply it right up to the eye area because it might cause eye irritation from the lactic acid.

First few days I used this, thought it was wonderful.  Then had a terrible breakout.  Waited a few more months and same deal.  This is a top seller at Sephora so it may work for others but not me!

I was on autoship with the Makeup Optional.  The moisturizer is average at best.  It has no spf and they would not let me swap it out for one that did (I was willing to pay more).

I really like this moiturizers. Its very light and seems to make my skin look smoother. Its £35 in the UK(about $65) so I get my friend to send over the 8oz size which works out much better value. One of my faves and a definate re-purchase.

Purity imo is a good facial cleanser.  It easily removes all traces of cosmetics including all eye make up regardless of what brand and type that I wear.  Another good thing about the product is that it is not drying on the skin.  An additional bonus is I never need to use toner after using this cleanser.

Hope in a jar.  I really did hope that this 4 piece set advertised as formulated to  create "makeup optional skin" really would come close to providing many or at least some of the on air promises made.  For me it didn't.  What it did do ( primarily this Hope in a jar) was break me out with a facial bump or two regularly each time that I used it.  The cream is rather thick and not especially oily but I noticed no exfoliating going on - which  is supposed to happen gradually thereby leaving you with a clearer more even toned complexion.  Not.  I still have 2  jars and have decided to use them during the winter on the heels of my feet.

I use this in the shower! I put a tiny bit on my hands and massage it in. Takes off EVERYTHING without stripping my dry skin, doesn't sting eyes. I love Philosophy products and this is no exception.

I would say this is nothing more than an average moisturizer. It is very lightweight,  which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but I think it is too light for someone with dry skin or for use in the winter. It does leave my skin soft, but I want a little more out of a moisturizer at this price. For $5 more I can buy Clinique's Superdefense moisturizer which is much better and has an SPF of 25.  I also don't like facial moisturizer with a scent. This has lavender oil which gives is a lavender scent, but it's not even that pleasant. It was more obnoxious. That alone would keep me from buying this product again.

I'd recommend this and also the on a clear day blemish serum...it was really good at clearing up my face within a few weeks and it wasn't drying at all like most acne medications.
