Philosophy Hope In A Jar

I've been using Liz Earle for the last couple of months but dont think it is working for me. My main problems are combination sensitive skin with dry patches and have noticed the start of fine lines. I saw Hope In A Jar on QVC which looks like the answer to my skin problems. Has anyone used this and found it any good?

TIA

I have very similar sounding skin to yours, and although I found HIAJ helped initially, eventually it got the better of my sensitivity and I started getting eczema type blotches I always get when something's bit too rich for me.

I've had a mare with my skin since DS's arrival last June, and the only thing I found that works is Origins Dr Weil's Mega Mushroom Face Cream, and the serum seems to help too. Not cheap but happier with it that anything I've used in a long time, and no blotches yet. If you can get to Origins counter, they will give you free samples to try first. or at least mine did.

Thanks wingandprayer. I've read about Origins Mushroom products in magazines but didnt think of it. I was going to John Lewis to get HPIJ so will ask for samples at Origins counter instead. It's psoriasis that causes my sensitivity. Dermotologist at hospital recommends just using E45 as facial moisturer but it too rich for my oily tzone.

Nope, E45 would bring me out in spots too.

I've been using the Origins wash off cleanser too - both the standard Origins wash off cream and the Weils/mushroom one. I don't notice a lot of difference between the two, they both do a good job at shifting makeup without over drying. I am still on a quest for a really good facial exfoliant though...
