Skin products seem to be a very personal decision as we all have distinctive genetics and conditions. I was having problems for several years with spots on my face, particularly my nose, that simply would not heal. I tried several things, before my daughter suggested Philosophy products. She had some rashes that required visits to a dermatologist and that was a brand that he approved. I began with just the cleanser(Purity), moisturizer(Hope in a Jar), and a serum(When Hope is Not Enough). The spots began to heal and have not given me any problem since. Once in a while I will see a little redness appear on my nose but it is gone in a day or two. Anyway, I love the stuff!
