    I use this product everyday as my day time moisturizer. It feels heavier on the skin than the original HIAJ but that is because of the SPF that has been added to this formula. I buy this in a...

    I wanted to love this product but I have to say this is just not right for my skin. It feels heavy and does not absorb into the skin very easily. It takes a long to blend into the skin and I HATE...

    I use other Philosophy products and absolutely love them. Not the case with this product. First use was fine, great consistency, moisturizing, thought it was going to be a keeper. Next day when...

    This isn't nearly as good as the original HIAJ, but I like that it has SPF. I hate that it's in a tube as this is hard for me to work with (ie. when I'm trying to add it to my C Booster powder)....

    I love this moisturizer. I'm surprised to see so many negative reviews though I suspect that some of the issues people have is the result of using the wrong moisturizer for their skin type. At any...

    Like other reviewers, I was instantly put-off by the cottage-cheese texture of this moisturiser! Also the formula starts to separate pretty quickly after opening, which doesn't fill me with...

    While this did not break me out or irritate my skin, this was not a good moisturizer for me. As far as I could see and feel, there was little to no effect of this cream. I had heard so many good...

    This made me break out all over my face. It is oily, and made my face look terrible for a week and a half. The breakouts stopped as soon as I stopped using this moisturizer.

    Beware, this causes breakouts like no other. The product is extremely oily and is so chemically unstable that it begins to separate in the jar. NEVER buy this.
