We Tried the Philosophy Moisturiser With a Cult Following

Who’s it for?

One of the best features of this Philosophy moisturiser is that it can work for a huge range of skin types and ages. We’ve broken it down by skin concerns so you can see how it’ll work in your routine.

Acne-prone or oily: Renewed Hope in a Jar is ultra-light and non-comedogenic, so it won’t clog pores or add to the greasy feeling you may sometimes experience. It’ll ensure your skin stays hydrated without ever overwhelming it.

Dry: Despite being light, though, it still delivers a punch of hydration to the skin. Dry types will adore this moisturiser as it restores that moisture balance long after you apply it, absorbing deep into the skin’s layers.

Dull: Key radiance-boosting ingredients are at work within this Philosophy moisturiser, making it a go-to if you experience a lot of dullness. Say hello to brighter, glowing skin within just a few days of adding this baby into your routine.

Hyperpigmented: Optimal skin cell turnover is important if you want to eradicate pigmentation spots, so the AHAs in this moisturiser will help encourage a healthy, even complexion in time. Pair it with products tailored at hyperpigmented skin — the Philosophy Microdelivery Daily Exfoliating Wash is a great everyday formula.

Mature: If you’re worried about the signs of physical ageing, Renewed Hope in a Jar can help you retain that youthfulness you desire. It refines the skin, working gently at fine lines and wrinkles, and efficient hydration is always beneficial for mature skin.

The Renewed Hope range

Now that you’re convinced about Renewed Hope in a Jar (TBH, the brand had me at Oprah) it’s time to discover the whole Renewed Hope range. Perhaps the brand’s most universal product line, in the sense that absolutely everyone can benefit, there’s more than just a cult-fave moisturiser to the range.

Try the Renewed Hope in a Jar Night moisturiser for accelerated benefits while you sleep — it’s essentially like the day moisturiser stepped up a notch. If your skin is particularly dry, you may find you need something a little more potent than the original formula, so we’d recommend opting for the Renewed Hope in a Jar Dry for added hydration.

Does your under eye area need a little TLC? Give the Renewed Hope in a Jar Eye a go to smooth fine lines, reduce puffiness and tackle dark circles. There’s also the Renewed Hope Hydrating Mask for those days where skin’s feeling worse for wear, and the Renewed Hope in a Jar Revitalising Creamy Foam Cleanser for a little rejuvenation on the day-to-day.
