its "moisturizing" but it is WAYY to thick for oily skin, good thing it didn't break me out but it is not for oily skin or summer. The tone up effect is quite strong and i wouldn't recommend for those above 24~ in korean foundation, making it last 3 hours was a stretch in summer maybe i'll try again when its cooler
