When Hope Is Not Enough
I’ve heard raves from friends about philosophy’s when hope is not enough hylauronic acid/peptide single dose capsules. (Whew – that’s a long name for a product!) Well, when my skin was looking a little sad and dull from the winter elements, I picked up a jar of these little capsules and thought to try them out.
First, I was particularly drawn to this because of its oil-free formulation, and for someone who has combination skin, this was important. These pills “contain a cutting edge blend of hylauronic acid and peptides designed to nourish skin that is stressed due to climate changes, hormones or illness.” Ultimately, it helps replenish moisture and bump up collagen production. I love that these are so convenient and small that they’re a breeze to use anytime – at work, for trips, etc.
To use these, simply twist the capsule to break open and squeeze the serum onto your palms. (I adore the genius behind philosophy’s products; they make taking care of your skin fun!) Apply to your face in an even layer. The texture is silky smooth (it feels a bit like Smashbox’s primer), so it goes on evenly and the dry time is quick. Voila! Your skin just got an extra boost. After using these on and off for a month, my skin definitely has its glow back and overall, it just feels much healthier.
If your skin needs a bit of help after the winter blahs, definitely check these out. A jar retails for $50 at drugstore.com. P.S. Hey – you know, their tagline should be: “Because when hope is not enough, philosophy is there to save the day” (or something like that).

I think the design of the little capsules dates back to the early 1990s or earlier with Elizabeth Arden skincare (or maybe even earlier). The idea of capsule is still smart though – perfect dose control so you don’t OD on product and waste money.
