Philosophy Hope In A Jar Oil-Free Gel Moisturizer Review

Philosophy Hope In A Jar
I can’t call it a review as i never used this product after 2 usages…

I had read so many rave reviews of this product all over the internet and as I am always hunting for a decent moisturizer for my dry skin, thought of giving it a try. I purchased it from Strawberrynet.com.

I really had a very tough time in peeling and knowing abo
ut the ingredients but manufacturing and expiry is no where mentioned… I am wondering if western countries don’t mention it or what?

Ok let me come to the reason behind not using it after only 2 usages … It has an unbearable smell and i can’t stand it. I am so disappointed that I have wasted so much money on something I can’t use due to such a stupid reason… The second time I used it, I immediately washed my face twice with face wash to get rid of its smell … YUCK is the only word that can describe it … Yuck Yuck Yuck .. I was about to puke …

So my only advice to people with a sensitive nose would be that never buy a cream if even a single person has mentioned of its smell in any review …

I might throw it in dustbin soon ..

My ratings : 0/5
Would I recommend it : Not to people with sensitive nose, as i mentioned above
Will I repurchase Philosophy Hope In A Jar Review Swatches : NEVER

    Yeah Shalini, I have heard so much about this from local as well as international bloggers but I didn't expect an international company not mentioning expiry & manufacture date & who would want to apply something that smells yuck, sad your Rs.1010 got wasted, you could have bought so much makeup stuff with that :(Isn't there an option to leave a review on strawberry net or philosophy's website ?

    Hey Uzma thanks for sharing my sorrow 😀 .. I am not an impulsive buyer and that's why whenever such mistakes happen I curse myself a lot 🙁 .. I will try and search if there is an option available to leave a comment .. nice idea indeed
