Summary: Not so great
Comment: I generally love the Philosophy Brand. However, I am not a big fan of the Present. I used it for a week and it gave my face a rash. Then I waited about 6 weeks later to try it again and the same thing happened. I also experienced a break out of 2 pimples the second time around. I never ever break out on my face! It also feels very heavy. However, I do have sensitive skin so that might be the reason. I will still continue to use Philosophy products, just not this one.

Summary: Superstar skin protector!
Comment: Does give your skin an airbrushed look, but is also an excellent moisturizer. Also works as a super-performance instant-repair hand lotion.

Summary: not what i expected
Comment: i got this thinking it'd be the perfect primer and will smooth my skin and make me flawless, but no, it doesn't really do anything but keep my skin feeling hydrated all day long. if you got large pores or uneven texture to hide, i say PrimeTime by bare minerals or Velvet Skin by DHC both work 100times better.

Summary: The Present is pretty decent
Comment: I got a sample size of The Present recently with an order I got from Sephora, and I must say that I really like it. I haven't run into any of the problems that other reviewers have had with it getting gummy, but then I also use a dry foundation (bare minerals if you're curious) over the top of it, and it works like a charm. I have to say that I like the present better than the foundation primer I was using previously which was from Smashbox, the present is cheaper and you get more for your money as opposed to the Photo finish foundation primer I was using. I also like that its a moisturizer in and of itself so I don't have to worry about dry skin, which now that its the winter months is really nice. I would definitely recommend this product to people with uneven skin, and to get the best results you should probably use a mineral foundation instead of a liquid foundation.

Summary: Good enough for now
Comment: I see a lot of rave reviews and wonder what age the reviewers are. I think it makes a difference. I was tired of the commonly available makeup in stores that target older women. They are so heavy and pasty, and look terrible as the day wears on. Rather than minimize wrinkles and fine lines, they seem to accentuate it by settling in the creases.
I switched from that regimen to this along with the Philosophy powder foundation. I've been using this for about 2 months now. The primer alone is fine for weekends, but I need the additional powder for work/more formal settings. I'm pretty happy with the results compared to the above. It wears well throughout the day as well; I don't cringe when I look in the mirror after a long day at work. However, if a product is going to call itself 'perfect', it sets the bar really high for reviews. I do plan on trying some other products after I use up my current supply, so the jury is still out on this one.

philosophy: a present can be purchased. a gift is something money simply cannot buy. look like you have perfect skin, even if you don't with the present. the present allows you to play beautifully during the day as a colorless skin perfector that camouflages fine lines and wrinkles as well as pores and gives the skin a flawless airbrushed appearance. the present also allows you to sleep beautifully in the evening as its unique formula helps seal in your treatment products and moisturizers, provides natural antibacterial benefits all while providing a beautiful, natural airbrushed finish. the present clear makeup is a must-have item in the philosophy lineup.
