This cream has no special texture and a very faint smell. If I had sampled it in the store, I might have passed right by it, but the real magic in this product happens when you put it on your face!

When I first applied it, it seemed to me like the cream went on somewhat thickly, and it took a little effort to spread out evenly. However, it sunk in very nicely, leaving no texture behind. The finish, however, is what has me most impressed. When I use this cream as the last step in my routine, my face acquires a very matte, very flat appearance - almost as if I had put on a heavy silicone primer. Yet it achieves this effect without leaving residue behind in the skin and while leaving it quite supple and moisturized.

All in all, would recommend, especially for those people who suffer from oily skin, an oily t-zone, or for those who simply like a matte look. If you still want the benefits of this cream without the flat effect, I patted two drops of oil on my face after this cream. This managed to give the most healthy beautiful glow...
