Hope in a Jar by Philosophy

Sat, 19 Sep 2009 21:21:25 -0400

I had a really, really bad reaction to this product. I had used the Purity cleanser and was really turned on to the rest of the line because I thought the cleanser was great. However, I am now on day 3 of a TERRIBLE break out after using Hope in a Jar. I have a swollen, red rash with tiny blisters covering my ENTIRE face and neck. What's worse, my eyelids and under-eye area were practically swollen shut today when I woke up... I have not use the product in 3 days so this is pretty bad. I ended up having to go to the doctor today for an Rx. Not happy about having to slather cortisone cream all over my face, but don't know what else to do. In addition, my skin is dry and any wrinkles I had are more pronounced then ever. In a nutshell, I'm a mess!

Just to mention, I have tried many, many different products in the past and never experienced anything like this.
