Philosophy The Joy of Great Skin ($156 Value) The Joy of Great Skin
I've had this set for about a week now. It's probably the most expensive skincare regimen I'll ever buy and you know what? I think I might be so bold as to say it'll be the only skincare regimen I buy from now on.
This kit covers the essential skincare steps: cleanse, moisturize, exfoliate. It contains 6 products: a larger 2 oz. jar of their famous Hope in a Jar moisturizer, a 0.5 oz. tube of Hope in a Tube, an 8 oz. bottle of The Microdelivery Exfoliating Wash, an 8 oz bottle of Purity Made Simple Cleanser, a 1 oz. bottle of The Microdelivery Peel Step 1 and a 1 oz jar of The Microdelivery Peel Step 2.
This is an amazing value for the number of products you get and the size they come in. I've tried all the products so far and love them. I only have a few comments: the Hope in a Tube tends to sting my eyes only for a second or two after I apply it to my eye area which is weird because it's an eye treatment. However, after daily use, I'm beginning to see fewer fine lines on my eyelids and under eyes.
The Hope in a Jar has worked so well for me as a moisturizer that it's actually reduced if not eliminated the patchy red areas on my skin (around my nose, mouth, and brow area). I will note however that this moisturizer does NOT have a pleasant smell in my opinion (it smells like a combination of musk, seaweed, and wet dog). If it wasn't for the results I was getting from this product, I would've returned it, however, I saw results after the first day and decided to put up with it.
In the end, The Joy of Great Skin kit from Philosophy has delivered on its promises so far (at least for me) and has left me with soft, moisturized, even skin that looks great with or without makeup!
