great for oily skin!
it has a light, almost watery, texture and a slight cooling effect. it doesn’t irritate my sensitive skin and doesn’t leave my skin looking oily like other moisturizers i’ve tried. the only thing i’m not a fan of is the moisture capsules, it takes a lot of work to get them to absorb into the skin
