Texture: white cream
Finish: glowy, but after a good night sleep, you wake up with mat but hydrated skin.
If applied on damp skin the cream becomes a milky texture.
I like it, but only for dry climate in winter, when it's very dry. Especially as a night moisturiser.
My skin: combination to sensitive, acne prone.
