New this month: Philosophy Renewed Hope in a Jar, which keeps flaky winter skin at bay and won’t irritate even the most sensitive skin, even if you’re #blessed with more rosacea than Lady Elaine Fairchild.  And though in the realm of dating and skin, I espouse The Shawshank Redemption‘s Red’s philosophy (ha) when it comes to hope (i.e., it’s a dangerous thing), I am gratified by Renewed Hope In A Jar. It’s a new twist on the Hope in a Jar you know and love in a whipped iteration infused with alpha hydroxy acids for skin renewal. It boasts a creamy texture and quick absorption while yielding an ace face base for makeup.

Philosophy Renewed Hope In A Jar retails for $51 at Sephora.
