I just looked up the ingredients on the Philosophy website. Fourth ingredient is dimethicone.

CAshopper- I am going to retract that! Hope in a jar has dimethicone but not the night version. However, there look to be many other potentially irritating ingredients. IMO, there are better options for those of use with silicone sensitivity.

OP, another I've recently tried and am having success with is 100percent pure. I bought a green tea toner and a night cream that are very nice, good prices, too.

For those who need or choose to avoid silicones in skin care, remember to look for the words that end in -cone. There are many of them. But also, cyclopentasiloxane and cyclohexasiloxane are probably two of the most commonly used silicones in skin care and cosmetics.

If you don't have a problem with silicones, then you might find that in the right proportion to the rest of the ingredient deck, they are very effective.

Ingredients ending in -conol are most likely silicones too.

Thanks for the information

[Nicks]

Thanks to all who have piped in. I'm sure it was all helpful to many more than myself.

Yes, this was helpful to me too. So thank you!
