Spotlight on Philosophy Skincare: Your Top 5 Must-Haves

Philosophy Skincare is a US-based brand that catapulted to practically instant fame in 1996. After just a few months on the skincare scene, and with only one product in the range, Philosophy received a boost from mega-influencer Oprah Winfrey. After this global celebrity gushed about Philosophy Skincare on her popular daytime TV show, the brand was set for life, and could begin to develop their product range to suit a range of skin types and concerns.

Now, in 2017, Philosophy Skincare are a staple in the beauty industry. Boasting tailored skincare solutions in addition to body products, fragrances and more, everyone has seen this stunning brand floating around. We’re excited to now say RY is amongst their ever-growing list of stockists around the world.

Purity Made Simple ($35.00)

Purity Made Simple was the first ever product in the Philosophy range–yep, the same product Oprah raved about all those years ago. (You get a cleanser! You get a cleanser! Everybody gets a cleanser!) This 3-in-1 favourite not only removes makeup with ease, but also soothes and nourishes the skin, and lifts any impurities from the pores. The result is a stellar, all-round clean that will leave your complexion feeling fresh and flawless.

This product is a must-have for any skin type, from oily and acneic through to dry and sensitive. The gentle nature of the formula ensures that it won’t upset your skin’s natural balance or cause breakouts or redness. Natural oil extracts help to condition and hydrate the skin lightly.

Who needs it: Literally anyone.

Why you need it: This is your one-step solution to clean, makeup-free skin, ideal for using as part of a double cleanse routine or on its own as a precursor to serums and moisturisers.

Renewed Hope in a Jar ($68.00)

Renewed Hope in a Jar…what a beautiful, aspirational name! Doesn’t it just make you feel optimistic? If your skin needs a little optimism, in addition to some serious hydration, this could be the moisturiser for you. It’s reached cult status in the beauty-sphere despite only being released back in 2015 to the global market.

The formula is lightweight and features a whipped consistency, making it perfect even for combination skin types that experience some oiliness. Once applied to the skin, it absorbs quickly and then begins to target any pesky dry patches. AHAs and exotic fruit extracts provide the complexion with a quicker cell turnover, unlocking that coveted, healthy glow all girls dream of!

Who needs it: Those suffering from dryness or dehydration.

Why you need it: This all-round moisturiser soothes, hydrates and nourishes even the most tired and hopeless of skins–hence the name!

Enriched with key ingredient Vitamin C8 at a high potency, Time in a Bottle relies on breakthrough technologies and an expertly developed formula to deliver results like you’ve never experienced. Not only does this product protect and strengthen the skin against further damage, it tackles existing damage by spurring on the skin renewal process. The quicker and more effectively your skin cells turn over, the better your collagen production and elasticity, so this formula helps to boost these actions.

Why you need it: Unique ingredients in a revolutionary formula help to combat all existing and future physical ageing signs, including wrinkles, fine lines and elasticity loss.
