Best product I've ever used on my face! December 3, 2008

I started using Help Me two weeks ago. I've already seen a reduction in the brown patches on my forehead and cheeks (i.e., melasma) by maybe 20%, less noticeable pores (because they're getting cleaned out), smoother skin, reduced small wrinkles around my eyes, and - I didn't know this would happen - a reduction in the dark circles under my eyes! I've never used a retinol product before, but I am really surprised at how well this works. After the first week, it did sting slightly for about 30 seconds after applying, but that hasn't gotten any worse since. Also, I did start getting very small dry skin patches near my eyes and a bit on my cheeks/chin, but I hadn't been applying moisturizer on top of Help Me like it recommends, so now I do and the little bit of dryness has gone away.
I am excited to see if the improvements keep on getting better, or if it will plateau after awhile. So far, I'm a big fan of this product and highly recommend it! I usually get most of my beauty products at the drugstore because I never notice that much of a difference between the cheaper vs. expensive brands, but I think Help Me is worth the department store price for sure.

[48 yr old female] I have been using this product for about 2 yrs, on the recommendation of my dermatologist. I have fair but 'resistant' skin. Regular use gives a light peel at first, after maybe 2 weeks. Really gets those dead skin cells off. After that, I saw freckles lightened and my skin tone became more even. I am VERY happy with this product.

For years I've used Proactiv on and off for my battle with acne. Proactiv has proved effective over the years but I had a few problems with the products:
1. The Price... For a cleanser, toner and moisturizer I was paying $45 dollars a month.
2. The Amount... I could NEVER get the cleanser and toner to last me the full month. To cover my face I needed half the bottle, and it is NOT an effective makeup remover.
3. Dryness... dried my skin out BAD. And the moisturizer sucked, but I couldn't customize my order to remove it.
After much research, debate and watching the infomercial over several times over I decided to switch to Philosophy. Now if you purchase Philosophy products individually it does get pretty spendy, but no more or less than other department store facial products. As a package it's a helluva deal.
I got the cleanser, moisturizer, retinol, exfoliating cleanser, eye/lip cream, shampoo/body wash, lip gelato, another exfoliating cream, and the Vitamin C booster AND A FREE GIFT for LESS than what I paid for my three rinky dinky Proactiv products.
For 8 products I paid $109.00 for 3 months. 3 months of Proactiv is $135, at the least.
The Philosophy product themselves have been life changing for me. If I absolutely had to choose one that I love the best I would have to say it's the Help Me.
This stuff is absolutely amazing. My skin is very sensitive to retinol, and continuous use of it for me on a weekly basis usually leads to a rash. This product seems to have enough retinol to do the job, but not enough to make me get a burn. I swear, within a FEW DAYS I noticed a difference, and I wasn't the only one. My husband has raved about the lack of lines under my eyes, and swear the product has taken years off of my face. Like all of Philosophy's stuff a little goes a long way, and always put moisturizer on afterwards, especially with the Help Me. Retinol is extremely beneficial to skin, but one must handle it with care. Frankly, I am not sure if it is the Help Me alone that has done it, or a combination of the Philosophy products I have invested in. Either which way, I have become a true lover of their products!!!
Love it. June 2, 2009

I was sceptical, but it works. It really unclogged my pores, made them smaller and made blemishes disappear over a few nights. I like consistency-lightweight and absorbs quick, with no residue on the skin. It's gentle yet effective. A little goes long way, and this tube is going to last me forever. No odd smells. As far as working on lines I don't know yet, but retinol is known for that job and probably I'll see it overtime. If you hesitate ask for a sample at the store, I did it before purchase, and I was amazed.
Finally, a great product! September 7, 2009

I recently had a horrible reaction to prime time oil control primer from bare escentuals and had lots of acne and acne scarring as a result. I was incredibly distraught and tried product after product to help take care of the situation. I finally discovered this product from Philosophy and for about a week and a half now I've been using the retinol night cream in conjunction with Philosophy's Hope in a Jar facial moisturizer. The improvement is amazing! My acne is pretty much gone, the scars are fading fast, my skin tone looks much more even, and my skin looks (and this is a quote from a friend) "fresh and glowing". This is, hands down, the best product I've used yet...it even beats out topical prescription treatments in my book. It's worth the money, no question.
