    I'm also not completely impressed with this product. It dried out my skin a little. But I like the smell of it, lemony. It did mattify my face but dryness was the side effect. I prefer the Bare...

    This is either exactly the same or within one ingredient of being On A Clear Day Protection Cream, but I've noticed that the folks at Philosophy like to repeat products, scents, etc., and re-market...

    I was not that impressed with this product. I don't think it helped my makeup last longer or go on smoother. I already use a lightweight moisturizer with SPF, so I can't see that this adds anything...

    So I had bought this, kind of forgot about it, then today decided I would put it on again. It smells odd. Not horribly unpleasant, but not good either. It reminds me of MAC Strobe Cream, but the SC...

    I bought this because it was supposed to be a foundation primer, but really it's just a lightweight moisturizer which my oily skin doesn't need. It didn't mattify my skin, didn't give me...

    I love this. It is amazingly helpful to me. I really didn't expect it to work as I've tried similar products in the past that were terrible. I have extremely sensetive skin with rosacea bumps. I...

    This is going to hurt me more than it hurts you, Philosophy. Sigh. I am a Philosophy gal, love it, buy it, use it all the time as my main beauty product. That being said, this product is baloney....

    Eh... very OK. Doesn't do anything special. I have definitely used better primers than this. Maybe this would be a good primer for very oily skin, but I don't have very oily skin so I'm not...

    In my family, I am notoriously called "shiney face" so I was eager to give this primer a try. Started using this during the winter and so far it seems to work. I don't wear foundation, but I...

    It doesn't do anything bad (causing breakouts, drying out my skin, etc) but I don't think it does anything it calims it does. My skin feel soft after putting this on but I don't see any improvement...

    It makes my skin smooth, but doesn't cover any wrinkles or pores. It's good as a primer for mineral foundation since it makes skin surface more even. But besides that, there's nothing special about...

    This did absolutely nothing that it claimed it would. It didn't fill in any wrinkles or lines, didn't minimize my pores, and worst of all it didn't prolong the life of my make-up. When I complained...
