    Skin type - normal + oily combo (T-Zone area specifically) I had a weird experience with The Great Mystery and Purity Made Simple. It took me quite awhile (about a year) in how to use these two...

    I regret ever purchasing this. It made my skin dry and itchy- which is hard because I tend to have oily skin. It made my eyes itch and burn something fierce! It made my fingers dry and my nails...

    I'll start by saying that I have oily/combination, extremely sensitive and acne prone skin; almost everything upsets it. Not only does this not upset my skin, it actually makes it thrive. Let's...

    I know a lot of people say this feels like vaseline but I didnt get that. It just feels like its cleansing your skin and getting all the bad stuff out. My skin looks so good when I take it off and...

    An okay product, probably meant more for oily skin than my dry/sensitive skin. Sometimes this wouldn't bother my skin at all, but most times it just seemed to irritate it. I never felt that my skin...

    I have used this mask for about a year and a half; it was good, at best, not great. I think my skin liked the glycerin and the lavender in it, perhaps the algae. At first, I used it once a week...

    How I love this product. I have acne-prone skin, and the Philosophy.com website recommended using this to "de-congest" it. Well, I was skeptical, but it seems to be working! The active breakouts...

    I think this is one of those products that you have to experiment with to get the best possible results for your skin. And that's one of the things I like best: It's so versatile. After reading...

    Actually I have been using this for a long time - probably on my third or fourth tube already. This is a glycerin based "purifying paste", so it is quite greasy but I find it okay when applied onto...

    It's important to know the greatest mystery should only be used by people with a somewhat dry to very dry type of skin. I've read several negative reviews and I think most of the authors have a...

    This is a rather odd product and difficult to describe. It's not a cleanser. It's not a mask. It's not an exfoliator. It's not a moisturiser. It does make the skin lovely and soft and does give...

    This is an occasional product for me, although Philosophy say you can use it daily. So, so far, one tube has lasted me about a year. I exfoliate twice a week, alternating with a manual scrub and...

    I hoped this would help with my dry and often flaky cheeks, but so far no joy. I have to admit I've maybe not given it the best chance so after reading a few of the reviews below I'm going to try...
