About the company

Philosophy prides itself in being a leader in advanced skin care technologies. In fact, company creator and CEO, Cristina Carlino invented the "lunch hour peel" — an internationally-used treatment that’s received numerous awards from both the medical and cosmetic communities.

Carlino created Philosophy after noticing a big difference between the products available at doctor’s offices and those at department stores. So, she developed a product line that combines science, simplicity, beauty and wellness, allowing customers to experience beautiful skin day in and day out.

Create an effective routine

• One-step cleansing. Philosophy Purity Made Simple is great for all skin types and removes all traces of dirt, makeup and debris. Best of all, it takes the place of a cleanser, toner and makeup remover, simplifying your daily routine. It leaves skin feeling completely clean, making it an effective option for individuals with congested complexions.
• Easy exfoliation. Philosophy Microdelivery Peel Exfoliating Cloths are an easy way to exfoliate, reduce the appearance of fine lines and improve the effectiveness of other treatments and serums. Use these cloths with a regular cleanser for light exfoliation. For more intense exfoliation apply the Microdelivery Exfoliating Treatment Wash.
• Multi-purpose moisturizer. Philosophy Hope in a Jar SPF 20 hydrates thirsty skin while refining roughened skin texture. Gentle exfoliation reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles for even-toned, glowing skin. With the addition of SPF 20 and antioxidants, skin is also protected from future damage.

Address problems

• Aging skin. Philosophy When Hope Is Not Enough Serum is a lightweight gel formula that helps to tone, firm and hydrate without leaving skin feeling oily or greasy. Antioxidants help reduce signs of damage and protect skin from free radicals. Over time, mature skin becomes softer and more radiant.
• Hyperpigmentation. Philosophy A Pigment Of Your Imagination SPF 18 is an ideal treatment for skin that shows signs of sun damage like brown spots and uneven skin tone. Kojic acid, tocotrienol and arbutin help to lighten skin and prevent melanin from forming, while also gently exfoliating the skin. SPF is added to prevent further sun damage.
• Eyes and lips. Philosophy Hope In A Tube Eye And Lip Firming Cream goes beyond basic hydration to actually firm and revitalize the skin around the eyes and lips, smoothing fine lines and wrinkles. Contains topical vitamins E and C and polyphnols for instant results that you can both see and feel.

Special skin care

• Make me over. Philosophy Microdelivery Peel is a revolutionary at-home peel that rapidly exfoliates, resurfaces and replenishes your skin. Delivered deep into the pores, vitamin C rejuvenates your skin, leaving it with a radiant glow.
• Sensational scrubs. Philosophy Amazing Grace Hot Salt Scrub is formulated with a glycerin base and outperforms other salt scrubs, resulting in soft, smooth skin. Use this oil-free, lightly-scented scrub in the bath or shower to refine and polish your skin.
• Silky-smooth. Philosophy Inner Grace Body Butter tones and smoothes with shea, mango and cocoa butters. This non-greasy formula is scented with Philosophy’s signature scent, "Inner Grace."
