Philosophy the Greatest Love

Pros: Leaves face ultra smooth and glowing, doesn't cause irritation or breakouts, concentrated
Cons: Expensive, of course. Sensitive skin types may find this too abrasive

Although I use Philosophy's The Microdelivery Peel weekly, I like to use a traditional scrub about every two to three days to keep my face smooth and deeply cleansed. Until very recently, I was not a fan of any scrubs ...

Pros: effective manual exfoliation, moisturising, leaves skin silky soft
Cons: can irritate sensitive skins, price

What's so great about Philosophy? Well, their Greatest Hits pack for one. This review is the partner to my The Great Mystery review because I received that product together with The Greatest Love as a gift from a friend. I...

Pros: Well I can use it on other body parts.
Cons: Hurts like heck when I rub it into my face.

Preamble
I first became aware of Philosophy's products about two years ago. What I find with most of their products is that I either really love them or really hate them. Unfortunately, here's one that's not on my love list.
...

Pros: Smooths, softens, makes skin look healthy.
Cons: Cost, but it's worth it.

I have very dry skin, and am particularly fond of exfoliating, especially in winter months. I just can't stand having dead skin accumulating on me, so I slough it off frequently. Because of this, I am forever in search of the best facial exfoliator...

Pros: great scrubbies, very moisturizing....too fun to use.
Cons: Too fun to use, and a tad pricey.

After being stuck in a motel watching QVC for a few days, I caved and bought the philosophy girl kit in an effort to continue with my never-ending quest for beauty. I tried all of the products (more individual reviews later) and I must say , I am ...

Pros: made skin silky smooth, quick, easy, options!
Cons: expensive, not for oily skins

The Greatest Love is Philosophy's facial scrub - some companies use micro-round granules, some use salt, but Philosophy, I believe, uses sugar-like crystals. It accounts for the very slight scent and also for a very quirky action that happens when you...

Pros: Delivers immediate results and silky skin!
Cons: Porous clear plastic tube tends to get gummy on the outside.

Ok, first off, I'm not going to repeat all of the product info. That's been covered and is available from http://philosophy.com/ProductD etail.jsp?Item=philprod0012. I'm just here to give my opinion of this product and tell you how it works for me. ;) ...

Pros: Easy to use and does not take a lot of time.
Cons: Difficult to rinse off and may be too harsh for sensitive skin.

Here is the information from Philosophy.com that tells you why you need this product: you want to maximize the effects of your treatment products - your skin is sundamaged, uneven, dull, clogged, or bumpy - your skin is taupe - your skin no ...

Pros: Left skin clean, exfoliated and hydrated. Get the rosy glow back!
Cons: May cause irritation, you have to use a cleanser afterwards

I have dry, sensitive skin... it hates change and usually shows it's distaste by breaking out.

This scrub did not break me out and it even tamed the annoying flakies I get on my nose!

Yes, it can be irritating if you are really heavy handed with it. Scrub easy and you'll get a lighter exfoliation.

You also HAVE to use Real Purity Cleanser (or your own cleanser) to remove it from your face. Once you add water, the exfoliating scrub melts into a deeply moisturing product that won't rinse away with mere water!

It left my skin super hydrated, super exfoliated and very clean. I use this twice a week.

Pros: Easy & quick to use, but leaves skin feeling softer.
Cons: None.

This product is fabulous. It's light and heavenly fragrance, along with the way it smooths your skin are wonderful!

Pros: Hydration, clean, wonderful fragrance, easy to travel with, not too irritating, love their inspirational philosphies.
Cons: High cost, but for the quality of product seems to be a good trade-off.
