Philosophy When Hope is Not Enough Firming Serum
By Melissa Bushman on
Philosophy brand When Hope is Not Enough Facial Firming Serum is a fantastic product that delivers everything it promises. It tones, firms, and hydrates skin. This oil-free product is intended for use after cleansing the face and prior to the application of moisturizers or night creams. It can be used in the morning and/or the evening.
When Hope is Not Enough Facial Firming Serum instantly hydrates the skin much like a satisfying drink of water on a hot summer day. The toning and firming action could be seen almost immediately upon the first application. After only a few days of use my skin was noticeably softer and firmer. In addition, existing lines on my face were minimized considerably. The light scent that is present upon application quickly dissipates, so this product can be used safely by those, like me, who prefer unscented products.
Two weeks after I began using When Hope is Not Enough Facial Firming Serum, something happened that reinforced my belief that this product really works. I was purchasing something at the grocery store that required the buyer to be 18-years-old (I am 39-years-old). The woman at the checkout asked for my identification. I thought she was joking, but she was serious. Then, she asked me who the lady was that I was talking to in line earlier. She asked if it was my mother. I had been talking to my younger sister!
I purchased Philosophy When Hope is Not Enough Facial Firming Serum from QVC. Though it may seem that this product is expensive at $38 for a 1 fl. oz. bottle, you only need to apply a small amount daily, and the 1 fl. oz. bottle will last several months. With rapid results that are so evident, I believe this is a wonderful product and a great value for the price.
What a great comment! I bet that made your day! I would love to try this product. I wonder if they sell it at Sephora stores? They just opened a store near me. Sounds like a winner!
Sounds like a great facial care product! I will check this out.
Tell Tink yes, they sell it at most Sephora stores, or on-line at Sephora.com or Philosophy.com, and it's probably worth every penny. I use Hope in A Jar, and haven't been able yet to bring myself to use something with this product's name. I think they should consider the product names a little more carefully; I bought a lip set that has a lip exfoliator and a lip gloss, and on the box in big letters it says: For Dry, Aging, Wrinkled Lips! Well, thank you, Philosophy, for making me feel like an ancient hag! On the other hand, they do have GREAT products, and you're right, a little goes a long way!
I love Philosophy products and this one really is great. I love to use it when my skin is looking especially tired. It does a wonderful job of perking up my skin. And a small bottle lasts me a long time.
This sounds like a wonderful product. Thanks for the information.
My skin has always been very finicky; it's sensitive yet acne prone so I've had a lot of trouble trying to find a moisturizer that works for me. Over Christmas 2008, my fiance bought me the MADE FROM EARTH Vitamin Enhanced Face Firming Serum. I was skeptical due to how my skin tends to react to different products. Well, I fell in love with "Made from Earth" immediately. From the texture, to the way it melts into your skin and doesn't leave that greasy feel, and the fact that it keeps my skin pretty much shine-free all day long. I'm now 7months pregnant, and I was worried that my skin would completely breakout from the hormones, but Made from Earth's "Green Tea Toxin Cleanser" face wash and "3 Berry Face Serum" have kept my skin breakout free and wonderful. I love the Vitamin Enhanced Firming Serum - and a little bit goes a very long way, so it's worth the money!
