 Don't love it, but don't hate it either. June 12, 2010

I tried this once a few years ago, but ended up returning it. A couple days ago, I saw it again, and wondered why I had returned it. I didn't remember breaking out or having any other terrible experiences with it. I bought it again to try it out. After all, it sounds great! Enriched with vitamins without talc and all those other parabens that I'm told are terrible for me (though I find that they're everywhere), it sounded like an idea primer/shine control balm.
About me, I'm 24 with normal to oily skin (especially in the summer, but it tends to dry out and flake in the winter). My skin is also a bit sensitive, sometimes new products give me hives. I don't really break out so much anymore, but can definitely get one or two huge pimples when I've been bad about washing my face or when it's close to that time of the month. The big ugly kind that leaves scars :(
ANYWAY
Dr.Feelgood is pretty nice as a primer under powder foundation, but not so good under liquid. When I used it under powder, I just applied with my fingertips. It's just easier, the sponge is a bit bulky. With liquid foundation, I wasn't too impressed. I don't know about you, but I don't have 20 minutes in the morning for my primer to dry and absorb onto my skin. The liquid foundation kind of just sat on top of the balm and looked... not horrible, but just not settled.
During the day, I used it a couple times over my makeup to control my oily T zone whilst at work, but it wasn't too good at that either. It didn't control the shine as long as some other powders have for me. And the other reviewers are right, the sponge does get really dirty.
My conclusion:
it's okay. I didn't have any terrible experiences with it, but it's not worth the price for me.
EDIT:
dropped it down from three stars to two. I woke up with a giant zit, and seven smaller pimples only in the area where this was applied... not thrilled. Haven't broken out this bad in years :(
Who it's for:
If you have pretty even and normal skin that does not need much coverage except for a bit of sheer powder, then I think this would be great for you. It does fill in pores and light wrinkles (I cock my eyebrow a lot -_-), but for someone like me who needs a bit of coverage and concealer on a few scars and hungover mornings, it's just not worth the $28.
 ONLY PRODUCT I LIKE FROM BENEFIT! March 3, 2010

This is a great product if you use Mineral Power Foundation. It makes my power foundation last twice as long. I do not recommend this if you use liquid foundation. GREAT PRODUCT!
 I FINALLY FIGURED OUT HOW TO MAKE THIS "work" January 23, 2010

As many people have complained about - there is a REALLY good chance this product will clog your pores and cause you to break out. I did once or twice with it. I feel this product will only work fantastically for a very small group of people with the perfect skin type needed for this. I will keep trying it out in different areas and in different amounts to see if I can manage to make this work since I am generally a fan of Benefit products.
If you have concerns about trying it out for the first time for the ridiculous price it usually sells for - get it cheap off eBay.
Oh and smell is kind of "lemony" not mentholated - I don't know what people were talking about it smelling like menthol...?

I just retried it and decided to move my rating from 3 stars down to 2 now. You know it is on your face - and not in a good way.

OK!!! All the previous text is from my previous review of this product. People have complained that they just cant figure out how to make this product truly work for them, and how badly they WANT it to work because of how much it costs, and they love benefit, etc etc
I got it finally. The problem I feel most of us are having is putting too much on the sponge and the technique of applying it.
1. barely put any on the sponge. I swear, you're gonna think that practically nothing is on the sponge but it IS. trust me. just lightly dab to get it on, don't smear it.
2. apply it to your face JUST like you get it on the sponge. just LIGHTLY dab it all over, THEN go back over where you dabbed and ever so lightly blend it / "smear" it in.
Sooooo.... I finally was able to make the product "work" for me. However, it "working" really didn't make enough of a difference for it to still be worthwhile spending more than like 8 bucks max on it. I feel if you put your foundation over it, it MIGHT make it a little more even but the difference is barely noticeable. I will raise my 2 stars to 3 because yes, it does do SOMETHING - but that something is just really nothing and not worth it. It also still gets 3 stars because it took me about 3 months to freaking figure out how to make this stuff work.
hope this helps.

I put this stuff on, and my fine lines and big ol' pores were nothing but an unfortunate memory. The smell? Seriously, I can hardly smell it at all (maybe a bit like lemony wax?), and I am very picky about scent. However, I can't think why the directions say to apply this over makeup; it's just intuitive that it go on under makeup. Also, I'm sure this is the kind of product that works great with some skin types and not others. My skin tends to be dry, and it works great for me.

I put it on top of my daily cream/sunscreen/powder, it makes my skin look and feel silky smooth though it does little to the pores.
