• i used variety of diffent primers..
  
  and this one does make my skin feel minty-fresh as i put it on.
  
  but after 2mins(like the direction says) it drys out ;
  
  i whether recommend you M.A.C primer


• Great product! It does not make my skin break-out AND after applying I don't need foundation! It gives your skin an air-brushed look, minimizes pores, evens skin tone, etc. Word of caution: Make sure your face is COMPLETELY dry and use a smaller amount than you think you need.

• I purchased this in hopes to smooth out the tiny pores on my nose.
  
  It works like magic! This time of year I am a self tanner. I put on my self tan first to a clean face. Wait for it to dry. Then I put on my Philosophy The Present Clear Makeup. You have wait two full minutes, then you can apply foundation if you like. I use a tinted moisturizer and follow with Bare Escentuals Mineral Veil.
  
  This stuff will fill in your pores and leave your face looking very smooth. Before I did not enjoy seeing my face up close because of those pores...you know what I am talking about, those things you see when you are in great lighting and looking into your compact! With this product you can not see them, I am amazed!!!
  
  I have had no adverse reactions to this product and I have been using it over a month now. My skin is normal to dry.
  
  I had tried a sample of this product before purchasing. When I finally ordered, I was a little saddened that Philosophy had removed the wonderful lavender-like fragrance. It has zero smell.
  
  I am a Product Junkie - I highly recommend this one!!! Don't forget to try their cleanser also, Purity Made Simple. It is the BOMB. Very mild and works fantastic.


• I had seen them use this product on QVC and I was interested in it. Finally broke down and got it and I must say this product delivers! It made my very sensitive skin smooth out and just glow. My pores look so much smaller. The redness in my face is gone. For a quick out the door in a hurry look, this one is the best.


• After reading the positive reviews of this primer, I was excited to try it out before my upcoming wedding. I used it as directed and liked the results. My make-up lasted all day without touch-ups. My skin was in good condition, but after about 2 weeks of daily use of this product, my chin broke out with large, swollen pimples that were deep under the surface. I stopped using the product and my chin has since cleared up. Is this a scientific study? No, but it is my experience. I may consider using it when I get married, but I will be trying other primers also.

Customer Reviews

• This is pretty good. It really does smoothe out your skin and hide pores before you put on foundation. It is a little orangey though, so I really don't use it by itself. The added sunscreen is great too.


• This is, hands down, the best makeup I've ever used. I like my make up to be very light yet make me look a lot better than I do. This product erases pores, blends in all the little different colored spots and makes me look much younger than my 61 years.


• After about a week there was a noticable change in my skin, it was soft and really looked healthy. People even commented. I use it under the supernatural powder and it is light and great. I do not have perfect skin, in fact I hate my pores, but this looks great!

Customer Reviews

I actually liked the way this product provided a good foundation base, but it was just way too drying for my skin. I returned it and may give the hydrating version a try.

This primer is truly amazing....just a little bit goes a long way.....applies nice and absorbs quickly, you don't even feel anything on your face...keeps my makeup fresh for hours.....you would never know I have oily skin with this product...an absolute must buy.....you will be very happy with this product...

I don't usually bother to review products online, but felt compelled to do so when I read the other 5 star reviews of this product. I am 41 years old, and my skin is still fairly oily. I have minimal lines and sun damage. I do, however, still have breakouts, particularly from many skin products (moisturizers, sunscreens, foundations--you name it) on the market. My skin can be very sensitive, & my "product-related" breakouts are the under-the-skin, cystic, and very painful sort. After years of searching in vain for a foundation, I found and use the Laura Mercier oil-free foundation. It has performed perfectly on my skin. I decided to buy the oil-free primer to extend the hours the foundation would look flawless, although I never really had a problem with it wearing out. I suppose I bought into the Laura Mercier marketing deal. While the LM oil-free foundation primer did not cause breakouts, I felt it made my foundation last a shorter, rather than a longer amount of time. After the first two uses, I put it away for a month, using only the LM oil-free foundation. I tried it again, and this time I was sure....it made the foundation wear off my face more quickly than without it. Therefore, I would not purchase this product again...too much money to not enough performance.
