Luvs it~
Great texture, nice and light- didn't feel heavy on my skin and absorbed quickly. Worked well with my oily skin. Scent is earthy & definitely smells like mushrooms! But I didnt mind it, my partner couldn't stand it however. Disappointed is not fungle acne safe, though I cant recall if it actually broke me out.
