Rated 5 out of 5 by from The Present This is a Present. I work in a factory and this is great for keeping my skin free and clear of the usual factory dirt and grime.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best Primer I have been using this primer for at least 15 years. Nothing else (even $150+ primers) work as well as this one. Hope it never gets discontinued.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great with — or without! — makeup I’ve been using this for years and love it. Holds my makeup in place all day. But even better, I can apply and go without makeup and still feel like my complexion is even and smooth. This is the ONE part of my daily skincare routine that I NEVER skip!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from I will always use this Do not....DO NOT EVER discontinue this product. Nothing keeps my makeup on my face, literally, all day but the present. This is the best primer, and by far outshines all of the primers on the market today. I wish it was still sold at Sephora and Ulta though. Sometimes I run out, and can't run to the store to get more. So...hint, hint. ;) Thank you for making such awesome products!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from really is a gift! I've been using the present for years and cannot fathom my life without it. I use it daily under foundation, or by itself if I'm not wearing makeup.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from I wish I had purchased about 4 or 5 of them! I purchased this product when it was being discontinued,(I thought). I paid $5 each for it. I bought two because I had never used it but, I trust Philosophy's quality (even though they have changed the formula on some of my favs "not a fan of that") and for $5 a pop what could I lose? Whooo! this stuff is GOOOOOODDD! I used it under foundation first. Just make sure it's completely dry before applying your foundation. Then, I tried it without foundation and I was blown away. My skin literally looked airbrushed, fresh, like I was wearing makeup and I'm 52 years old. I love this stuff. Glad its not gone away but, bummed it's $30 freakin dollars. Sadly, will be purchasing again. Have only worn foundation maybe twice since using this on my skin!
