Oprah’s ‘favorite’ Philosophy moisturizer is 30% off at October Prime Day

Looking for your best skin?

Perhaps consider the moisturizer that Oprah once called “hands down the best moisturizer I’ve ever used,” which just happens to be 30% off for Amazon Prime Big Deal Days.

The media magnate raved about the original version of Philosophy Hope In a Jar back in 2010, saying she had been using it for at least a decade. It’s popped up in her gift guides and other lists since.

The hydrating formula has glycolic acid to slough dead skin cells and hyaluronic acid to boost moisture. And given the half-ounce size starts at just under $14 during October Prime Day, it’s no wonder it’s still a brand bestseller after all of these years.

One shopper wrote that it’s “absolutely fantastic,” continuing: “It makes your skin so soft and hydrated. With the first use, my skin felt plump and rejuvenated. I’m not young … 57 years old to be exact. My skin loved this moisturizer like a fish needs water.”

The brand hero also comes in a version with SPF 30, if you prefer a multitasker for daytime.

It has all the same benefits of the original with added sun protection. No matter which you choose, you’ll be in good company!

The only other facial moisturizer we recall Oprah piling such high praises on are the Dr. Barbara Sturm Glow Drops, which have a $160 price tag. While there is everything to love about luxe, the “best” can also come in easy-on-the-wallet jars of hope.
