Great formula - lightweight, no white cast, no breakouts, no oiliness even in humid weather, ideal for under makeup. Only cons are too little for its price and packaging not desired when close to emptying. Otherwise, it's a HG.
It didnt break me out, but when my skin was feeling too sensitive, it kinda stings (probably bc I was using too much niacinamide). Doesn't feel greasy at all, but it leaves a bit of white cast when it dries even though I spread the product as much as I can. I’d use this again if I don’t have to go out of the house so the white cast wont matter.
