Which one? I've tried many philosophy products, but am not sure to which one you are referring.

I love the 3-in-1 shower gels, hot salt scrubs, and the Falling in Love fragrance. I really haven't used any of their skincare line, though.

I tried Purity Made Simple cleanser from Philosphy-it was good, removed all my makeup and left my skin feeling clean. For some reason this is the only cleanser that I have ever tried(and I've tried a lot) that removes all my eye makeup without any black residue under my eyes. Smile

jn1234, I would be surprised if you can't. It's available in Montreal, although I only know one place that carries it.

I really like the When Hope Is Not Enough moisturiser, as it's very rich for dry skin. The Hope in a Jar/Tube for eyes wasn't bad either.

Holt Renfrew carries it and so does Beauty Court in Richmond. I'm not sure if Bay/Sears carry it in Pacific Center as they usually carry more brands than the other Bays/Sears.

"On a clear day"
This little bottole does a magic to my blemish or rash. Apply tiny bit on the skin, they are gone in a day! Since I don't break out much, but when it happenes, this is one that clears up the problem.

You can find it atwww.beautymark.ca. There is a storefront in Vancouver (1120 Hamilton St). Actually I think there are two: one is a beauty bar while the other is the full store.

I have yet to visit the store but it'll happen one day!

I've actually just started using Philosophy Hope In A Bottle for congested skin for the past 2 weeks, but it doesn't seem to be working for me. Instead of clearing up my skin, I've been getting small little bumps underneath my skin and some tiny red spots. I was wondering if it's just the purging stage or if anyone else has used this product before and had this problem? Do I need to keep trying it for longer?

I use hope in a bottle for congested skin only during PMS it works for me but its a little strong. I have oily skin. What's your skin type (uninspiredstar).

I have combination skin with an oily T-zone area. This is my first Philosophy product ever, so I didn't know if my skin was just getting used to it... or if it's just irritating my skin more and giving me these little bumps. Should I just keep using it? Also, is it just me, or does Hope in a Bottle stink? It smells like Windex (the glass cleaner) to me. Confused

Just to chime in here, Philosophy made me break out in a big way, sooo...your skin might just not like it.

I've used:
Hope in a Jar - didn't like; seemed really heavy/too greasy
Hope in Tube for Eyes - made my eyes sting &water
Microdelivery Peel - It's nice, but you can buy Oil of Olays for alot less $$--it's pretty much the same product
The Supernatural Concealer - just bought this last week and love, love, love it!

I also love their fragrances, especially Amazing Grace Smile

I have tried Purity and Hope in a jar. Personally I would NOT recommend this line since I've got very bad reactions from these two products. I'm still trying to get rid of the leftover breakout spots/marks from using this.

I have tried-

"Hope and Prayer" (vitamin C Powder) - LOVE and use this almost daily! Only C product that leaves me with a matte finish. Probably because it is not a serum. I love how I can mix it with any product.

and...

Resurface Kit- Vitamin C Microdelivery Peel-
Love this as well!!

I was very surprised by this line. It never appealed to me until recently. Smile

I am considering to get a product to even my skintone and reduce the size of the pore in my T-zone. The lady in Sephora suggested me to use this product from Philosophy. Anybody used it before? Is it really good? I need to know about it before I spend the 60 bucks on it...

This is a product named philosophy help me retinol night treatment. It is in a white tube.
It is said that it has the patented microsponge system containing retinol. I don't know whether it can even the skintone and reduce the size of pore. My skin is combination--dry in the cheeks and oily in T-zone. Thanks!
