Review: Philosophy When Hope Is Not Enough Kit

Ever since we turned twelve and our faces went haywire with oil and blemishes, skincare has been complicated for us women. Should you use astringent? What if you have dry skin? What age should you begin moisturizing? Should you moisturize all over? Luckily, Philosophy, the hippest name in skin care, has one easy solution in a box – and it works! The When Hope Is Not Enough luxury kit includes the following giant array of products:

• 4oz. Philosophy Purity Made Simple facial cleanser
• 1oz. Philosophy Hope In A Jar moisturizer
• 0.25oz. Philosophy Hope In A Tube Eye And Lip Firming Cream
• 0.375oz. Philosophy When Hope Is Not Enough Serum
• 1oz. jar of 30 Philosophy Microdelivery Peel Pads
• 0.4oz. Philosophy When Hope Is Not Enough Light Defense SPF 20 Sunscreen

All items are in sample sizes, but not to worry: they’ll last you a couple of months, even with daily use. My favorite part of the kit is the card inside that has step-by-step instructions for both your morning and night regimen. No more thinking involved! Each product is amazing on its own, and if you’ve been looking to sample any of the Philosophy line, this is a great way to do it. Plus, it encourages everyone to apply sunscreen daily, which is more important than you think. The facial peel pads are definitely the all-star of the kit: while all the others are great, this is definitely the crowd favorite. If you’ve got dead skin, you won’t have it anymore after you try these minipeel pads!

The verdict: 5/5 stars! This is a great basis for maintaining and beautifying nearly every skin type.

Philosophy Makeup Optional Advanced Skincare System sells at QVC for $48.18.
