    I purchased this at Sephora after seeing the QVC special. All the rave reviews, before & after makeovers & claims made me curious. So, after using this product, my face felt smoother and my pores...

    Unbelievable product. It's not that expensive, works amazingly well, and very quickly. It keeps oil away for hours, and you only use a very, very little. The tiny bottle has lasted me forever.

    this is funky stuff. it is really weird to me that they market this as "clear makeup," since it covers nothing, doesn't even calm redness. but it is really great as a primer. it sort of smooths...

    I have VERY oily skin and am experimenting with these "mattifying" primers. So far I have used this one, the one by Kiehls, and the one by Christian Dier. Of those three contenders, The Present...

    It makes my skin feel great when I just put it on - however - because I'm extremely oily, the feeling lasts about 10 minutes and then it makes me even greasier than if I'd never used it.

    Would buy again, nice smell and lasts a long time. Works as described, leaving a soft matte finish to the face which makes foundation apply more evenly.

    Like most Philosophy skincare products, I didn't like this at all. First, this is a yellowish cream that you put on before your foundation and after your moisturizer. Also, you can use it by...
