Lightweight, does well with sun protection! Initially I was skeptical of if the silicones would clog my acne-prone skin’s pores, but it hasn’t broken me out at all. In fact, sometimes when I rub it in, I get sebaceous filaments on my hands as residue! So in my case it’s provided some kind of exfoliation. I’ve only used this product in the winter but I’m certain it’s just as effective in warmer months.
