    I am so disappointed that this didn't work out for me!! I wanted to love it and need it! When I first got it, I used it all over and the only benefit I noticed is that it made me slightly less...

    Can't say I see a difference in how my makeup looks, but without makeup my skin is much smoother. Will not repurchase but I don't hate it either.

    I got this product as a 0.5 oz. sample from Sephora.com. The packaging describes the product as "clear makeup" and "skin perfector for all skin types." When I first started using the product, I...

    The Present does not moisturize as it claims, does not control shine, and is NOT good for acne-prone skin and it definitely is NOT a clear makeup. (whatever that means and its gimmick, makeup...

    Hmmm ... I think I am still getting the hang of this. I probably applied too much the first couple times, because the foundation I used afterwards (Px Photochrome) streaked when I applied it. I...

    I've used foundation primers by Nars, Laura Mercier, and Chanel, and this is cheaper (more bang for the buck) AND does what it's supposed to, which is even out the texture of your skin so that your...

    I love this product! A dab goes a long way . . . and after a couple of minutes of settling into the skin, my foundation goes on so much better. It looks smooth and radiant and last all day.

    I've used three primers: Laura Mercier, Smashbox Photo Finish, and Philosophy's The Present. Of all of these products, The Present is by far the best in my opinion. Laura Mercier's primer was...

    Wouldn't start my day without this! I've gone from being an oil slick by 11 to not having to blot till 5pm, and that is nothing short of a miracle for me! I agree with the other reviewer who said...

    I would never buy this again. Seriously, this does not work. You know the glue that you use when making paper mache stuff? Well this stuff reminds me of it for some reason. If you are looking for a...

    I think many are missing the point. The primary reason anyone should buy this product (IMHO) is to control oil. The main ingredient in this product is Nylon-12 (an oil absorber), and since I have...

    I really like this moisturizer. I have been using it for two years now! It's a miracle for me! I like the way it makes my face matte.

    I still don't know what the purpose of this stuff is, but it was totally useless to me AND also broke my skin out. Once again, I fell into the cutesy "hype" of the Philosophy products.
