Bye bye acne scars!
I have been using these pads for 4 weeks now, every night as directed. I don't have wrinkles on my face, so I can't say I saw an improvement there, but I have seen a significant lightening of my acne scars and my skin tone has evened out. They say you will see a reduction in pore size after 6 weeks and I am really looking forward to that. These are expensive but I plan to continue using them.

I have been using this every morning for the last few months and it is one of my favorite Philosophy products. It exfoliates gently and removes any dry skin from my nighttime retinol treatments, without drying of irritating my skin. I've recently started using it with my Clarisonic and my skin feels so smooth after! I noticed some reviewers said it didn't last long, but I've been using an 8 oz bottle for the last 5 months and it has at least another month to go, so I find it to be a good value.

This product has so many positive reviews, but I'm nearly finished with my 1st box of this "peel" and I'm not sure it's made much of a difference to my skin. I see a nice glow immediately after use, but it doesn't last and I'm not sure I would really call it a peel. It seems more like a treatment to oxygenate the skin and I have a serum that does a great job doing that twice daily. The process of using this is messy. The gel goes everywhere and the second stop makes it all the worse. I'm not sure I would purchase this again.

I really enjoy the smell and feel of this product on my skin, including the gentle warming from step 2. But I find the 2 step process to be cumbersome and messy. It's hard to control where the product goes and I apparently got it too close to my mouth and it caused the sides of my lips to crack...very painful! I love Philosophy products, but I'm not sure I would purchase this again.

I use this cleanser in the evening with my Clarisonic. It does a great job removing my makeup and leaves my skin feeling soft and clean. I like that it is a creamy consistency instead of foamy.

I've been using this product for several months now and the biggest benefit for me is that it has noticeably reduced my acne scars from previous breakouts. Also, I believe the retinol, in combination with a sulfur spot treatment, was directly responsible for clearing up a major adult acne breakout. I use it day and night under my moisturizer and haven't found it to be drying at all. I'm taking off stars because it's expensive and doesn't last more then a month or two, but I'll buy it for as long as they make it!

I used this as a spot treatment before I discovered EradiKate Acne Treatment and it worked OK. It calmed down the inflammation and redness and made most pimples go away within a few day, without drying my skin out at all. Now I use it daily in a preventative way by applying it to common breakout areas and blending it in well before I apply moisturizer and makeup.

I think I was expecting this to go on smooth & silky like The Present, but instead it feels really greasy. I was hoping the tint would offer some coverage so I didn't have to wear makeup, but it doesn't. Nor does it make my face look poreless or flawless. It's just a silicone loaded primer...

Philosophy refers to this as "clear makeup", but I think that is a misnomer. It doesn't cover blemishes or discoloration, so I wouldn't call it makeup. But I love the texture and how soft and silky it feels on my skin, so I use it as a primer and moisturizer. I wear it under mineral makeup during the day and it is so important to wait at least 2 minutes before applying over it. I also use it at night over HIAJ to seal in all my night time treatments. My 1st tube lasted about 2 months and I think it is well worth the cost.

I have this product in Pure and Rose. I wear Rose as a blush and could never imaging using it to highlight, as they recommend. It is just way too pink. But I do apply Pure, with a light hand, over my cheeks, nose, chin and forehead as a highlighter. It has a really nice peachy sheen to it that makes my skin glow.
