clogs my pores to an extreme

"I have been a philosophy user for several years now and i must say this is probably my least-favorite product I have used to date. i would give every other philosophy product i've used four to five stars, so you can imagine my disappointment when i used this. from the look of other reviews it appears my experience is unique, so i'm guessing it has something to do with my skin type. i have very oily skin and my pores generally clog up a bit by the end of the day. however, it seems this product penetrates and then seals my pores so that the sebum that gets released throughout the day becomes trapped. the end result is completely disastrous. looking in the mirror at the end of the day after using this product, i can actually see the sebum buildup lodged in my pores - making them look huge, oily, and dirty. this is disgusting, but it looks like microscopic balls of wax are just stuck in there, and no amount of cleansing can get them out. i eventually have to squeeze them out, which is not only unpleasant, but makes my skin inflamed and my pores look huge for days to follow. i know it's this product because i've never had this problem in my life, and anytime i use it, this happens. anyway, the one-star rating is based on my experience, and i understand this product works very well for some. however, if you have oily skin, i would urge you to take caution."

"i love the present. I have been using it for about 6 weeks. I don't use it everyday, but on the days I do, i hardly need any foundation at all (i use mineral makeup). I still need concealer for under my eyes, but that is it. I love the matte, smooth feeling of my skin. this is my new favorite philosophy product!!"

"This is amazing stuff. It does everything it says and more. I can actually leave the house without any face makeup when I am wearing this. It looks great with mineral makeup too, but I would not wear it with regular liquid makeup as it balls up underneath."
