Size Name:4 pc.
I had the opportunity to preview this product in philosophy's Radiant Face In A Box kit(available at Sephora.com). It is wonderful, but very high priced...that is my only concern. Two
steps are involved-a vitamin C exfoliator that goes on like a
cream but becomes a massaging scrub, and a white cream activator
that becomes a tingling rinse off mask when applied to the C complex. It is invigorating but in no way harsh, and has a tingling but soothing citrus smell and feel. My skin was still
baby soft the next day! An increbible product to use with purity
made simple and hope in a jar, if you can afford it!

These products are the best I've used. The purity cleanser is luscious and I feel like if I used only it, it would be sufficient. Following with when hope is not enough drops is invigorating and luxurious and I love the evergreen scent. I use hope in a jar sparingly on my face because I tend to be oily and this does seem to add to it if I overdo. I use the eye and lip firming tube only at night for the same reason. The peel - free samples included - is fantastic! I try to use it twice a week and I LOVE it. When the samples are gone, I plan to buy more, even though it is more than I would normally spend. I have seen smoother skin with a lovelier tone and a reduction in pore size. I've received compliments on my skin, which is unheard of for me. This is my first experience with philosophy. Had to try it after "Oprah" and I'm very glad I did. I'm 46 and have used cheap products all my life. Now's the time for a little pampering, and this is the stuff to make yourself feel pampered!

No miracle for me, not even for $78. The peel made my skin flake for two weeks and then break out for almost a month. Bad, bad, bad. Lots of hype surrounding these products, which most of my friends have tried, and most think are just average. My skin can have its moments, but it's not extremely reactive or dry...It should be remembered that no beauty product is for everyone.
Microdelivery Peel: Um, no thanks. It is common for peels to make your skin flake, but afterwards your skin should feel soft, smooth, and renewed. This just made my skin break out in a way that it has never done before, and this went on for more than a month. Six weeks later, I still have the dark red marks to show for it, and my skin is MORE congested than before. Makeup is anything but optional right now, since without it I look like a have some sort of disease.
Hope In a Jar: A lot of people love it, a lot of people hate it. I kept using this after the other products, and while I liked the scent and the way it felt on my skin, it gave me zits on the side of my face on which I continued using it. If you ever break out or have had an allergic reaction, stay away. The formulation has preservatives in it (diazolidinyl urea/imadazolidinyl urea) that can cause the allergic reaction reported by so many users, and the vitamin E is not in an active form that will do anything for your skin long term. Does give some people a "healthy glow" but this is the result of some unhealthy chemicals.
When Hope Is Not Enough: You can get cheaper and equally effective products with better ingredients, for example Avon's Vitamin C Serum (I think it's under $15, especially when they have a sale). It has been established by science for many years that the one topical product that will really diminish fine lines and wrinkles is Retin A. You can get it with a prescription from your doctor, or you can find it at 60 and 30 concentrations from La Roche Posee (around $40).
Purity: Just an average cleanser. I liked the smell, but comes no where near cetophil, neutrogena, la roche posay, or most of the other pharmacy brands that are regularly recommended by my 5th Aveenue dermatologist. Save your money.
My dermatologist was horrified that I had tried this kit, and unsurprised with the results. I am horrified at what it did to my face, as well as at the $78 down the drain. A lot of hype surrounding these products, but not much in the way of science. stick with something with active and pure ingredients that backs up its claims (and just because it markets itself as "pure" does not mean it is).
