Excellent moisturizer!
Posted: December 26, 2009
"I really like this moisturizer. It is great for me as I will not go without an SPF. this is one of the very few spf products that doesn't cause me to break out! It does a nice job of hydrating and i like the peachy tone to is. Plus, I like that it has treatment ingredients in it as well. It is a great multi-tasker!"

a wonderful moisturizer
Posted: December 20, 2009
"i love this moisturizer. it has a pink tint to it which gives my face a nice glow, it smells like soothing lavender and a little goes a long way. a small dab is enough for complete coverage. i generally only use it in the winter months because it is quite a bit heavier than hope in a jar."

wonderful !
Posted: December 11, 2009
"this is the best spf moisturizer I have ever tried!!!!. it is not greasy at all, but you still feel it moistures your skin a lot. i also need to say that this moisturizer is NOT tinted at all (which I read from previous reviews). the pink color it has is just like any other cream from other brands that has a color, but it is Not a tint at all, so do not be afraid to buy it : > . It goes on smooth and does not leave any color on your face :-) . simply wonderful! thanks philosophy!"

Excellent spf
Posted: November 23, 2009
"This is a great moisturizer with spf. i have oily skin so heavy moisturizers make me look all greasy. this one keeps my skin hydrated and protected without any greasiness at all! the product is absorbed quickly and doesn't feel heavy. also, i live in the south, so it's great to have an spf moisturizer that protects without melting off in the summer heat.
usually, spf moisturizers smell awful - they have that cheap sunscreen smelll. not this one! the smell is light and pleasant and fades quickly. doesn't leave my skin all shiny like most other spfs do.
as for the tint, i don't find it bothersome at all. i have a light olive complexion and the tint is not noticeable at all. it evens out my complexion without the heaviness of concealer or foundation, which i never wear (thanks to you, philosophy!) - all the benefits of makeup and none of the nastiness!"

great for dry, sunny days
Posted: September 29, 2009
"this moisturizer is great when you are going to be exposed to the sun and it's dry outside or you have a dry skin. I took off a star because I don't really like that it's tinted."

good stuff
Posted: July 31, 2009
"i stopped using this product because i don't care for the philosophy skincare fragrance, and my skin protested! i had to switch back, and i am getting used to the scent. it's not bad, just not my taste. anyway my skin gets what it wants, and this is it!"

best of both worlds!!!!!
Posted: July 30, 2009
"i live in the sunny south and did not like putting on a moisturizer then a sunscreen. this is the best of both worlds. it sinks into my skin, not greasy at all. this is one of my favorite philosophy products. i would be lost without it."

Review 10 for when hope is not enough spf
Posted: June 22, 2009
"I love this hope is not enough w/ spf 20. it goes on smoothly, it doesn't feel as greasy as some moisturizers I've used. After I got pregnant my skin started to get really dry and I was out to find a moisturizer to take care of the dryness & protect it from further damage. At first i was reluctant to use it b/c of the pink tint, but it wasn't an issue when i tried it. I've noticed a dramatic change in my skin since using this product for about 3 months. it looks smoother and finally no more dry face. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who has dryness issues on their face and is concerned about protecting their skin."

my everyday moisturizer
Posted: May 5, 2009
"this is my everyday moisturizer. i am fair skinned and use anti-acne and retinols, so i need the daily spf. it soaks in well, is light enough for my oily skin, and is not irritating like many other spf products i have tried. love the herbal/lavender scent also!"

nice, but not extraordinary
Posted: April 22, 2009
"i was really excited about this moisturizer, but the actual product was only acceptable. the cream is orange and looks like a suntan lotion and i felt like i was putting weird chemicals on during the day. it might be good for your skin, but i just didn't enjoy the texture or color. also, i didn't notice much of a different in my skin after a good six weeks of use, and i was hoping for some noticeable improvements. shortly after, i switched to MK miracle set with a separate moisturizer and day lotion and omg, that stuff transformed my skin. i don't know what's going on, but after dealing with a pimple practically every day of my life (i'm 24), since i started mk a month ago, i've had one. and i got it the day i didn't use it. my skin is smoother, it glows, it's softer, and that's saying a lot for someone who lives in a very polluted city and with a smoker in the house. sorry, philosophy!"

MUST USE EVERYDAY !
Posted: March 24, 2009
"aFTER USING PHILOSOPHY PRODUCTS FOR nearly 8 years now WHICH BEGAN RIGHT AFTER MY THIRD SON WAS BORN, i NOTICED A GREAT DEAL OF CHANGES TO MY SKIN & WHAT I HAD BEEN USING HAD ~STOPPED~ WORKING FOR ME. I STARTED USING HOPE IN A JAR, BUT KNEW I NEEDED SPF AND WAS MIXING NEUT.... SPF WITH IT. THANK GOODNESS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF THIS PRODUCT ! AT APPROX. 40 I DEVELOPED CANCER ON MY FACE (I'M VERY FAIR) FROM ALL THE YEARS I DID NOT USE SPF AND HAD MOHS SURGERY, BUT THRU IT ALL CONTINUED WITH THIS PRODUCT. I GUESS I HESITATED TO USE SPF ON MY FACE WHEN I WAS YOUNGER BECAUSE LIVING IN fLORIDA WITH SUCH HUMID SUMMERS, MY FACE WOULD JUST DRIP AND THE SPF WOULD RUN IN MY EYES (BURNING THEM) & MY SKIN SEEMED TO PRODUCE A LOT OF OIL NATURALLY & ALL THE SPF'S WERE REALLY HEAVY & GUNKY WHITE, SO FIGURED I'D DO WITHOUT. THAT SAID...THIS PRODUCT IS NOT GREASY, LIGHT, ABSORBS QUICKLY, STAYS PUT, IS SILKY, VERY LITTLE SMELL, & KEEPS MY FACE MOISTURIZED ~ALL~ DAY.
I DID NOTICE A SLIGHT DIFFERENCE IN THE CONSISTENCY WHEN PACKAGING CHANGED FROM THE BOTTLE VERSION TO THE TUBE... IT NOW GLIDES ON EVEN EASIER, ALMOST MORE OF A MARSHMELLOWY EFFECT. i OFTEN NOTICE I'VE DISPENSED MORE THAN I NEED, AS IT REALLY GOES A LONG, LONG WAY. i REALLY WOULD LIKE THE SPF BOOSTED TO 30 AS THAT'S THE MINUMUM MY DERMATOLOGIST RECOMMENDS.
IF YOU HAVEN'T TRIED THIS, IT'S A STAPLE PRODUCT & A MUST FOR EVERYDAY USE EVEN WHEN YOU'RE NOT GOING OUTSIDE ! (bYE THE WAY i'M 44)"

like it, don't love it
Posted: March 7, 2009
"i refuse to use two separate products in the morning for moisturizer and sunscreen, so i was excited to try this product. however, there is something about the texture and scent that i just don't care for. however, it works well as both a moisturizer and sunscreen, so no complaints there. i prefer the texture of hope in a jar with spf and the way it makes my skin glow. i will go back to it as my daily moisturizer."

Posted: February 15, 2009
"I was excited to try a Hope product with SPF. I was disappointed for 2 reasons though. 1) it smells like a sports sunscreen to me 2) for its thickness, I don't think it moisturizes as the hope products without spf. i end up having to use another moisturizer before or after this one so my makeup will go on smoothly. still, for the spf i would recommend it. i just haven't been able to use it as my primary morning moisturizer as planned."

Can't Live Without It
Posted: January 24, 2009
"I have tried so man y moisturizers, and I have also tried so many Spf's. Well, when hope is not enough spf is the only moisturizer I'll ever put on my face during the day -- and it goes on my skin every single day of the year! Not only does it have a great SPF, it also is full of great peptides and other good things for my skin. I have comb skin with oiliness in the T-zone. However, this lotion never leaves me greasy even if I wear it all day. It is a godsend and i can't ever go without it!"

great product
Posted: January 11, 2009
"i love this sunscreen/moisturizer! since it is also a moisturizer you don't have to use a different moisturizer underneath it, which is great and quick in the mornings. the smell is wonderful and the light pink color blends great with my skin, also absorbs well and doesn't feel heavy. i use this when i feel dryer and then other times of year i use pigment of your imagination spf."

everyday!
Posted: January 5, 2009
"I put this moisurizer on every morning and love that it has spf protection already in it, one less step. it is non-greasy and blends beautifuly. even in hot humid weather it soaks right in, i'm pretty amazed! i never had an issue with the light tint, it helps to make sure i cover all my skin. the best part is that i'm not allergic to the spf and it does not cause me to break out like so many other spf moisurizers. i bought this as part of a kit and i am thrilled to find something so useful and effective. also, i like that it comes in a tube to keep it sanitary and portable."
