I use the Phil serum and, I have nothing to compare it with, so I guess I like it.  This TSV with the gigantic bottles (2) has me wondering if they're getting rid of it and bringing out a new serum.  They are huge bottles and will last a very long time.  This formula has been the only Phil serum since it first was introduced.  The hosts are suggesting mixing it with body lotion.  So, I have to wonder if they have a new product on the horizon.

 

What do you think?

@this is my nic    I really don't know.  I've used their fragrances and lotions, but have no experience with this serum.  I like the idea of having all the hydration, firming, and anti-oxidant ingredients in one serum, though, so I decided to take the plunge.  I even selected the A/D, which of course can be canceled.  I will continue to use most of my other products, especially the creams that I like to put on top, but it would be so great to simplify my routine.  I want to be proactive, but I truly don't believe in miracles either.

Wait for the opinions to come in first. There are a lot of people here who have probably tried it.
Some of them can break down the ingredients for you.

I don’t use Philosophy but I would recommend transferring the serum to smaller bottles for daily use. Exposure to air will affect the product. I finally decided that I just prefer 1oz sizes of my serums, which last a long time as it is.

When I was researching the serum on Beautypedia, there was a comment (dated 4 years ago) that the formula had changed. Apparently the name has been around for years but the ingredients changed. Hopefully that means they've been updated. But it wouldn't be surprising to see another "hope" serum being introduced. Look at how many creams they now have.

I just don't need such big bottles.  If I knew someone else who used this, it would be a good deal to split with them.  Or if they had done the day and night serum I would have taken the plunge.  But for me this is a no go.

 

The reviews on Nordstrom for this are very good.
