I am going through a Philosophy trial since the sales lady at Ultra talked me in to buying several Philosophy items. This one is going back. I think it works well, but it balls up on my face when...

This is the only cosmetic product I've ever tried that lives up to its description! Well, okay, it doesn't make my me look completely poreless, but I have really lousy oily skin, with huge pores....

This is my favorite primer for my very oily skin! I like the thick, whipped texture that is not greasy but matifying instead. Rare for a product with sunscreen. I like the texture & the smoothing...

This is one of my current "can't live without" makeup products that I use every single day. I use it as a makeup primer or, on weekends, as my foundation. I've tried many other Philosophy...

I don't know about you, but I don't like this primer. I don't like the texture of it, I don't like how it makes me feel like I have a lot of makeup on, and I don't like how it makes my foundation...

There just wasn't anything I liked about this product. I hardly ever return products as I'm usually able to find some use for them. This one was sent back immediately. The texture is hard to...

Yuck! This is not moisturizing enough by itself, but too slippery and goopy feeling on top of a separate moisturizer. The sun protection in this is way too weak, in my opinion -- definitely not...

Evens out my complexion and feels like silk! Great primer, or good when you want light coverage. Hard to live without this product!

I think I would buy this again, but I'm always on the search for a better primer. I like the Philosophy Present one but that one has parabens and this one seems more natural. This one as far as I...

I have mixed reviews on this product. I like how it has SPF 15 and it might brighten my skin a bit. On the other hand it doesn't cover any zits, wrinkles, brown spots, etc. It does fix oil spots...
