Philosophy The Present Skin Perfector 2oz

From philosophy Cosmetics , philosophy Face , philosophy Foundation Primers

the present skin perfector

the present formula was originally created for the medical market to give patients with bumpy or irregular skin a smoother skin surface. this product lays down a smoother layer of "second skin" that smoothes out skin irregularities and fine lines.

the present is essentially a "clear makeup" for flawless skin. it is formulated to be used as a last step prior to any makeup to form an invisible barrier that "seals in" moisture for chronically dry skin and active ingredients from treatment products. it keeps out harmful environmental elements by acting like an invisible band-aid. it also contains lysozyme, a natural antimicrobial agent to keep skin radiantly "clear."

you need this product if:

you want to "pave the surface" of your skin for your foundation or powder

you want a protective layer to keep the good stuff in and the bad stuff out

you want to look 100% better, wearing 50% less makeup

you enjoy an oil free moisturizer

your skin is oily or prone to break-out

you do a lot of air travel and need to "seal in" your moisturizer.

Ingredients: water (agua), cyclomethicone, behenyl alcohol, dimethiconol, cetyl dimethicone, lysozyme, sodium citrate, peg-12 dimethicone, peg/ppg-18/18 dimethicone, lavendula augustifolia (lavender) oil, propylene glycol, diazolidinyl urea, methylparaben, propylparaben.

  • 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.

Customer Reviews

  • 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.
