Filmy
This leaves a bit of a filmy feel on my skin once it soaks in. Doesn't pill under sunscreen, though, and feels great when being applied.
I love it. It doesn’t leave my skin feeling heavy or greasy like some other products. I feel like it works perfectly on my oily skin because it helps reduce how shiny my forehead can get throughout the day.

I tried to use it when I was suffering of acne to control oil production but it ended up worsening the situation. Tried again when healed from acne and still didn’t like it. There are valid alternatives from Korean brands that do the job way better.
piles up so badly, irritated my skin and feels terrible on the skin
