great for congested skin
Posted: January 2, 2009
"i use the hope in a bottle on my chin and nose mostly. i have trouble with breakouts on my chin and Hiab seems to make them go away much faster! my breakouts are hormonal, so it doesn't really keep them from happening, but i have noticed they don't stay around as long as before! the salicylic acid seems to work much better than benzoyl peroxide for me. it keeps my oil under control on my t-zone too! I have combo skin, so i use hiaj on other areas b/c the hiab can be too drying there. a little bit goes a long way for me, so i don't have to repurchase very often!"

"My skin tends to be combination in the summer. when warm weather comes, i switch from hope in a jar to this. it's the perfect amount of moisture without sending my skin over the edge."

this stuff is awesome!!
Posted: December 27, 2008
"I had terrible adult acne, painful huge zits on my face, and this stuff cleared it right up very quickly!! I ran out and didnt use it for a couple weeks and I started getting pimples again, so I know that it is the secret agent to clear skin. Lots of people tell me that I look much younger than my age (36), so I think this stuff rocks!!! :)"

miracle!!
Posted: December 8, 2008
"i suffer from adult acne. i have been using hiab for several months and have seen a considerable difference in not only the severity of my pimples but the frequency as well. now i only get the occasional pimple as a result of my monthly cycle. i have also noticed that this doesn't dry or age my skin as many other acne related products had done. hiab is fabulous!"

congested skin no more!!
Posted: December 6, 2008
"Purity and hope in a bottle--the 2 skin treatments that i cannot and should not do without!! !i've been using these 2 for almost 2 years and my skin has never been clearer, softer, or now because of the hope in a bottle virtually blemish-free!! i am committed to keeping a stash of this and re-order another bottle when i reach half way the current bottle. if you have oily,congested, and over-40 acne-prone skin this is the 'hope' you need."

not good for my sensitive skin
Posted: December 5, 2008
"i'm not sure what it is, but something in all of these moisturizers irritates my skin. i really wanted to love this product because everyone else loves it and raves about it. it just didn't work for me. bummer!"

Best moisturizer for combo skin
Posted: December 4, 2008
"I know hope in a jar gets all the hype, but I think this is even better if you have combination skin. my skin is sensitive, but even at 50+ , i still get breakouts occaisionally. hope in a bottle gives my skin moisture without making it oily, and I very rarely break out any more. I will never be without this product - it is that good."

great for acne prone skin
Posted: December 4, 2008
"this product works great for skin that is prone to acne. i get breakouts on my forehead and nose and after using the HIab the breakouts have greatly decreased. it also helps keep your t-zone less shiny during the day."

Best acne treatment around
Posted: December 3, 2008
"I have acne prone skin along with dark scaring when the acne goes away. It would always take a long time for the marks to disappear and this frustrated me. When I started using this product, I noticed right away that the marks were fading. I love my skin now and will never be without hiab!!!"

The best I have ever used!
Posted: August 27, 2008
"This is by far the best moisturizer I have ever used. I wish I hade discovered it sooner! I have oily skin in some places, but not others, and this makes my face feel great all over, and assists with potential breakouts! I noticed the difference in my skin from the very first application."

this should not be considered a moisturizer...
Posted: August 24, 2008
"This product was very drying on my face. I applied it in the morning and by the end of the day my face was very dry and because of the dryness it seemed to highlight every little line on my face... ones I'd never seen before or knew existed! it made my breakout prone areas irritated, PROBABLY BECAUSE OF THE ALCOHOL IN THE PRODUCT. i SHOULD HAVE READ THE LABEL BETTER. aNYWAY, SAVE YOUR MONEY AND OPT FOR SOMETHING ELSE."

sometimes the best gifts are unexpected
Posted: August 17, 2008
"december 2007 was the first "secret santa" gift exchange in which my super-huge extended-family participated. the criteria was $50 maximum: that's a lot of philosophy combos of their classics! plus, around the holidays, philosophy has cute limited edition gift sets. i listed dozens of philosophy items i wanted...but *not* this one...yet this is the one i received. i was baffled, and slightly embarassed/insulted - was somebody trying to tell me something? i didn't think i had acne bad enough to receive a gift *not* listed! however, receiving "hope in a bottle" was a happy accident: i rotate use of the "bottle" and the "jar", and my skin has not cursed me with pimples since, even when they ought to be there (i am one-big-ball-o-stress). i still prefer the "Jar", but once in a while, i have to bring out the "bottle" to keep things in-check. it's very gentle, yet effective. great for super-sensitive skin (like mine)."

best moisturizer for combo skin
Posted: August 13, 2008
"I've been using hope in a bottle at least 6 years. It keeps my skin clean and clear without drying it out. While I do not suffer from acne I do have combo to oily skin and can get very congested pores. hope in a bottle has saved my skin. Keeps the oily parts clean and shine free while my dryer areas are soft and hydrated. Pores are definitely less noticeable too. light feeling on your skin so it works great under make up, even though i don't need it any more. friends commented on how radiant my skin looked after only one month of use. This product truly does what it says. hope in a bottle is a must have item if your skin tends to be oily or congested. You have to try this one."

"This has just the right amount of moisturizer while not saturating my face and causing it to break out. I started using this with the purity face wash after my skin started breaking out in my late 30's. all cleared up!"
