This is the first eye makeup remover I ever tried. Now, at this point in my life, I've tried a total of two. I used to just use olive oil and that seemed to work fine but let's explore the world of Philosophy again...

A Quick Look at Philosophy Miracle Worker A.M. Duo
Here's what Philosophy says:
Every day is a fresh start, so let it be a fresh start for your skin. Topical antioxidants are part of the gold standard of daytime skincare. Each pad is your skin's daily multivitamin, providing triple-action antioxidants to protect against environmental attack while improving luminosity for youthful-looking skin. Say "hello" to every new day looking radiant, feeling miraculous and ready to be a bright light to the world.
Philosophy's Miracle Worker products feature a next-generation, high-performance retinol ingredient that diminishes the appearance of deep wrinkles like a retinoid, but with less potential for irritation. They also include HPA, a triple-action antioxidant that guards against environmental attack while helping to minimize the appearance of visible signs of aging. The formula also features a revolutionary peptide that helps improve past skin damage while promoting clarity and smoothness.
I think if you're a die hard Miracle Worker fan, this may be worth checking out. Couldn't hurt to add one small step to your morning routine but at $58 for 60 pads--is it really worth it? Anyone think this is something they could get into? Or more of a pass?
Philosophy Great Skin is In Set
But the moisturizer alone costs $40 and the cleanser of that size costs $20 and so you're basically getting the spot treatment for five bucks. This set retails for $65. Not a great value if you're only in love with one product but a good deal if you're used to buying them individually anyway.
Here is my Purity cleanser review and here is my Hope in a Jar review.
Philosophy Purity Cleanser Review
So let me say that this cleanser offers everything I could possibly need in a detoxer/purifier/whatever you want to say. It's light, works well and it's not bogged down with lots of gimicky promises. It just cleans your face.
There's no dryness or tightness after I use this cleanser. I mentioned that when using the Kate Somerville cleanser that it didn't remove all my makeup but that is not the case with Purity. I can do one wash, BY HAND (not using my Clarisonic), and all my makeup is gone. Usually I'm lazy and I don't do a separate eye makeup removal unless I feel I need to after I wash my face/shower. With purity, it removes most eye makeup for me without rubbing. It does help if I do a little swipe with olive oil and a cotton pad (that's my eye makeup remover of choice because it's already in my house, ready to be used).
The only (sort of) downside I could come up with about this is that it doesn't clear up my skin, it just cleans it really well. I haven't noticed any change in blemishes since I started using this but I'm just happy knowing it's removing all of my makeup in one go.
I'm thrilled with this cleanser for the purpose it serves in my skin care routine. I don't see any reason to stray from this product in search of other products like it.
Rating: 4.5/5

Philosophy Hope in a Jar Moisturizer
I know Hope in a Jar by Philosophy is a popular moisturizer but I still wanted to do my own review. I like having my reviews documented in one place so I can have an organized set of my opinions on products I've tried.
Now that I told you that pointlessness, let's move on to the review...
