Just because Iâm getting older doesnât mean I want to LOOK like Iâm getting older! Iâm especially concerned about the signs of aging on my face, around my eyes, on my forehead, around my mouth. Who in my age group isnât? Recently I received a sample of Philosophyâs âWhen Hope is not Enough,â and started using it with their âHope in a Jarâ and âMicrodelivery.â And I have to say, the three of them together, with âHelp Meâ is hands-down the best skin regimen Iâve ever tried⊠and thatâs saying a lotâŠ

Just so you know: the Microdelivery is step one, an exfoliating wash. Hope in a Jar is the second step, a gentle, soufflĂ©-texture moisturizer. The third and final step in my morning regimen is five drops of When Hope is not Enough, a firming serum. You simple squeeze five drops into your palms, then rub it gently over your face and neck. It gives a soothing cooling sensation that I imagine will feel wonderful in the summer⊠and it really, really works. After four weeks of using all three morning products, I have seen a real difference in my skin â it looks smoother, rosier, and most of all, YOUNGER. Fine lines have diminished, especially around my eyes and mouth, and my pores actually look smaller!
The serum comes in a dropper-bottle, so itâs easy to dispense. It absorbs quickly, and is very, very light. The scent is slightly medicinal, herbal, and very pleasant. I love that I can wear it right under my make-up, and I love how soft and smooth my skin looks and feels! I tend to only use it in my morning regimen, as I use a retinol cream (called Help Me, from the Philosophy line) at night. I really enjoy using When Hope is Not Enough, and I donât think Iâll ever stop using it!
