There's a similar thread though it doesn't mention the products or kits you refer to specifically:

But yes this is the correct forum. I got excited, thinking for a minute that you might also mean their bath and body range.

I tried their acne kit. My only complaint is that the serum in the blue bottle with the dropper made my skin peel after about 4 days of applying it each night. But, if you think about it, that's exactly what glycolic acid & salicylic acid are supposed to do! lol! I found it a tiny bit harsh though & stopped using it. Every other product in the kit was great for me though. And I surely see a difference when I use the h202 cream. Gentle, good stuff!

I just love the purity made simple cleanser and the microdermabrasion- it does wonders for my skin, although my acne is mild it still has helped out quite a bit.

I love Purity Made Simple as well!!
I have super oily skin that is prone to acne, but this has done nothing but smoothen my skin! It isn't oil free though.. it has oils like rosewood oil, meadowfoam oil, sage oil, cassia leaf oil, sandalwood oil, carrot seed oil along with a host of other extracts and whatnot. But trust me, I have not broken out at ALL from this! Nor does it leave a filmy residue =)

Has anyone tried philosophy products?
I was just wondering if anyone has tried philosophy's purity cleanser and if it is worth the buy because I read some reviews and some ppl say it causes major breakouts and does anyone know if hope in a jar is a worthwhile buy and on a clean day!
If there are any good recommendations for cleansers and moisterisours please let me know!
Thank you to all who post!

Purity is my absolute fave cleanser ever. I hated it at first(smells like Ivory soap, which I despise), but once I ran out, I missed it terribly. I went out and bought the biggest size I could find the very next day. It lasts forever, and is GREAT at taking off makeup...esp eye makeup(main reason I love it).
I'm very prone to breakouts and sensitivity with cleansing products, but have had absolutely no problems with this. My bet is those that complained of breakouts were using something with scrubbies, AHA or BHA in their cleansers before using this. They probably didn't exfoliate enough when they switched cleansers, thereby clogging their pores.
I still use an exfoliating cleanser with AHA & BHA 2 or 3 times a week(in the mornings) in addition.
My main cleanser is Purity, though. I could never go back to not using this stuff.
As far as Hope in a Jar goes, it's a nice, light moisturiser, but stinks something awful. After a few days, it made my skin look lovely, but I could never get used to the smell. Some people like the smell(lavender, I think), but most people I've seen review it have agreed with me. NASTY smell. It did get a little better with some use, but again, I never completely got used to it.
I use Origins A Perfect World moisturiser at the moment, and absolutely LOVE it.

I really like Purity. I have dry/sensitive skin and it works well for me. As for the Hope in a Jar, I have tried both formulas (regular and dry skin). Unfortunately, neither one worked well for me. Neither moisturized sufficiently, and both smell funky to me...

Philosophy's The Present is comparable to MAC Prep and Prime skin. It worked really well, but i only had a sample pack and it was only good for 2 (probably 3, cause I got too much the first time) uses. It didn't clog my skin.

What is with Philosophy and the smells? I really do like some of their products, but because of the funky smells I won't use them. I thought the Purity cleanser was decent, but it smells like pepper to me 
I'd really like to buy their Microdelivery Peel, but I never got around to buying it...

I've only been using the products since Saturday but I love them. The smell is very natural smelling though =/. I don't know what I mean by natural but not good , hehe. The fact that it works so good more than makes up for it though. Check out this review by Julie also.

I've tried Purity and it's good but I have tried better, gentler things. Philosophy generally tends to be a tad too much for my skin.

Sorry to bump this one but I need to have some advice on using the microdelivery peel...I just got some samples to try it before I decide upon buying the full size set.
Basically my skin care routine resumes itself aroun Clinique 3 step systems and some other addictions. So, I believe that, after using the microdelivery peel I should not even come close to Clinique's toner!
What do you usually do after using this? put on moisturiser, proceed with you usual skincare routine.... All opinions are helpfull
! TIA!!!

I'm thinking about getting hope in a jar, but I've heard bad reviews about the smell...
