Customer Reviews for makeup optional skincare kit

amazing
Posted: August 24, 2009
"i am 34 and I have been suffering from moderate adult acne for all of my thirties. i've been to the dermatologist and esthiticians and have had countless facials and chemical peels with no results and have spent who knows how much money. i had been using amazing grace fragrance for a while and have been wanting to try philosophy skin care for a while, but was soo afraid it would make my skin worse like everyting else did. my husband bought me this kit for my birthday in June. my skin was radiant within 2 weeks. we are so happy with his investment. it is now the end of august and have only gone through half of the products (with everyday use). i'm in love with philosophy and even more with my husband for getting it for me."

philosophy lifer
Posted: August 12, 2009
"Findly philosophy at age 58 was like finding my husband (#2) at age 54 - I could finally stop looking for the best - I'd found it! and Using philosophy has simplified my life. no more buying other lines, trying them, tossing them - philosophy is for life! I've struggled with oily skin, large pores and breakouts all my life, and now it has finally settled down through using this basic, consistent, high quality skin care line."

"the purity is a world class cleanser. it's great for your face, fabulous for shaving and a great clarifying shampoo to clear off all the styling products from the week. the hope is not enough serum is a perfect product that can be used once or twice a day (i use it twice). the eye and lip cream is a great consistency - thicker than what you're probably used to, but it's smooth and hydrating. the moisturizer is awesome; not oily or greasy. It's a perfect moisturzer. the microdelivery peel set is a dream come true. you'll use it up and and have to go buy the full size! there's no better product in the world! this is a great set!"

Ok...
Posted: June 18, 2009
"This set is a nice set to try a bit of everything. I wasn't crazy about the texture of hope in a jar. Seemed a bit thin or watery. Guess Im used to ticker moisturizers. The smell on the hope in a jar and the serum was horrible!! It's nice that they are natural but the smell is just dreadful. To be honest I wish I tried a smaller sample kit first. I was not impressed with the 10 days it took to get from AZ to FL...and even less impressed with customer service not answering my e-mail. I will not order again and wish I spent the money on the Clinque turnaround set. I really wanted to like this line because I love all the causes they give money to, but i guess it's just not right for me. luckly i seem to be the minority!"

Review 5 for makeup optional skincare kit

acne prone sensitive skin...WOW!
Posted: April 8, 2009
"I never write reviews on products. but for this i just had too...especially because before i tried this i must have read two hundred reviews to hear what others had to say and it was helpful. first off i have tried EVERYTHING under the sun as far as skin care...the latest (for the past few years) had been proactiv but my skin completely platued was wayyy too dry. this is hands down the best cleanser i have yet to find and i am especially glad i got the kit because the other products are just as amazing. i could see results the first time i used them and my complexion is evening out more and more each time...i actually look forward to washing my face, and for the first time in years would consider going out without make up..thats HUGE! i could go on and on but the bottom line is i have sensitive skin and have tried everything...this WORKS for me! so try it!! (also the peels are amzing i am going to get more! :) thank you philosophy!!!!"

the only skincare kit u will ever need
Posted: March 25, 2009
"My mother purchased this kit for her self to start with but i nabbed it. :) when she got this i borrowed it and took it home with me to try. I have to be honest she never got it back. LOL thats how much i loved it and how great i felt after using it. i did purchase her another one but i couldn't wait to get mine. we both recieve tons of compliments on our complexion and it works great with the supernatural foundation. You look natural and like you are wearing nothing at all but have a great complextion at the same time."

great value/great products
Posted: March 13, 2009
"I've only been using the product for a few days, but i am very pleased with the immediate results it provided, and looking forward to the long term results. I tried philosphy about 4 years ago, and I did not like it. Although, i have to admit, i did not follow the suggested application techniques/tips or schedule. So, of course, it did not work for me. Try it, follow the instructions, and it will work for you. You won't be disappointed."

Review 9 for makeup optional skincare kit

Awesome! =)
Posted: February 9, 2009
"This produce it pretty good. If you can get past its smell and the fact that the first week you use it, it's probably going to break you out! That's good though because it's purging your skin. After about a week it cleared up! Oh, and if your younger and you don't have wrinkles then I would skip putting the eye and lip cream around your lips, it's too thick and would cause a break out. Other that, this product does exactly what it says it does! And I love the Micro-delivery samples that came with this kit! There awesome! I am going to buy some of it now for sure! =)"

thank you philosophy!
Posted: January 16, 2009
"i am so glad i tried philosophy. after using these products for only 3 days my skin is amazing. i always had issues with my skin, but now it is clear and just radiant. i have gotten more compliments on my skin since i have begun using these products. purity is an incredible cleanser. it never leaves your skin dry or tight feeling. hope in a jar is the best moisterizer i have ever used. i cannot say enough about hope in a tube. as i am getting older i have noticed more fine lines and wrinkles and this is the answer. if you want beautiful, healthy looking and feeling skin use philosophy."

Review 11 for makeup optional skincare kit

dry skin relief!!
Posted: January 15, 2009
"My skin is fairly clear, but incredibly dry. For the past few months I've been using dermacerin, prescribed by my doc. It keeps my skin from flaking off into a red scaly disaster, but it left my skin looking less than fabulous. The name alone (makeup optional) was attractive, but I kept an open mind as to what it could do for my skin. I LOVE what it has done to my skin! It provides enough moisture to soothe my horridly dry skin without making it greasy and it's light enough that I don't feel like I'm slabbing on the pancake batter just to keep my skin normal. I have found that most products that 'cater' to dry skin fall short, but this one has won my approval! On top of all that, it's made my skin look great"

love it!
Posted: January 14, 2009
"i love this kit! it is a great value and the products are all so good. i love the purity and hope in a jar especially. i notice a real difference in my skin with those two products. the purity is so great at getting all the makeup off and cleansing my skin but is still gentle. and the hiaj is a wonderful consistency and feels so nice on my skin. my skin looks smoother and feels wonderful and i really do feel that makeup is optional. will use forever!!!"

Review 13 for makeup optional skincare kit

breakout!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Posted: January 14, 2009
"i was so excited about getting this kit...I've been useing the same kind of facial products for years and i absolutly love the pure grace line so i though for sure this stuff would be great. it's not!!!!!! i read all the reviews that said it just melted away makeup...all it does is melt it all over your face. it just smeared my makeup!! it didn't remove it at all...also you have to use alot of the face wash for your face to feel clean and it dosn't suds up at all!! the lotion wasn't bad but it's a little greasy. my skin is very normal..not greasy not dry. I've never had acne problems and after using this product for about a week my whole face broke out!!! bad!!!! the serum seems pretty descent but it didn't do anything to give me a "rosier" complexion like it promises and the eye cream made absolutly no difference at all..it just added to the greasy feeling on my face. I love all the products i've tried from philosophy but this one. I gave this to a friend to see if she liked it and it did the same thing to her."

"This is a great kit! My husband got it for me for my <<30th>> birthday (with a couple of hints) and I have been using it for about two weeks now and I have noticed a difference in my skin already. He also got me the vitamin C powder that i add to the serum - not sure which one it is but it could be the combination that i love!"

For Normal skin?
Posted: December 18, 2008
"I've been using this kit for about 1 week and right now my forehead is very dry and flaky. It wasn't before I started using this, so evidently this isn't for real dry skin. I'm determined to find the right kit for my skin since philosophy is supposed to be a good skin care regime. So guess I'll keep on trying different kits until I find the one for me."

thank you! thank you! thank you!
Posted: December 5, 2008
"this was my very first philosophy product i ever tried.

well! lets just say after a lifetime of hating my skin, to get compliments on the way it looked after trying these 4 products after just 2 weeks was amazing!

The redness around my nose and on my cheeks went away, so did the blotchiness, almost no acne... I had been buying high end products to hide these unsightly conditions, i felt like i was applying paint, and boy, if the paint got wiped off, it was not pretty!

And the serious lines that i have been getting around my mouth and chin, very much softened, dewy looking skin, i just can't say enough good things about this kit, it truly delivered what it promised, and quickly. also was amazed by how long this lasted, a little goes a long long way.

Just got one as a gift for someone special, hope she loves it as much as i do!

3 WEEKS AND HAVE A fLAWLESS fACE
Posted: December 4, 2008
"IF YOU HAVE NEVER TRIED philosophy, THEN THIS IS THE KIT TO START OUT WITH! IN 3 WEEKS THIS KIT WILL DO A RADICAL CHANGE TO YOUR SKIN. yOUR SKIN WILL BE HEALTHY, BRIGHT, YOUNG AND PROTECTED.
purityL cleanses YOUR FACE AND "BODY IF WANT"
when hope is not enough firming and lifting serum, lITERALLY YOU CAN FEEL AND LOOK A FEW HOURS AFTER PUTTING IT ON, THAT IT IS WORKING.
hope in a jar, i USE IT ON ARMS, CHEST, AND OF COURSE FACE.
hope in a tube eye and lip firming cream jUST PAT A TAD ON AROUND LIPS AND UNDER AND ABOVE EYES. A TIP DON'T RUB IT IN, pAT. yOU THANK ME LATER.
yOU ALSO GET A 2 SAMPLES OF THE microdelivery peel, uSE ONE ON YOURSELF. oR YOU CAN USE BOTH. bUT i USED ONE ONY MYSELF AND THEN ASKED MY BFF IF WE COULD DO HER FACE. sHE IS VERY PICKY AND AFTER THE PEEL. wHICH IS SOOO LIGHT! NOT BURNING. i DON'T EVEN KNOW WHY THEY CALL IT A PEEL, IT SOFTLY TAKES THE OLD LAYERS OF SKIN OFF.
mY BFF ENDED UP BUYING THE KIT AFTER THAT ONE SAMPLE.
pHILOSOPHY IS JUST PLAIN AMAZING
