This is a pleasant serum. It's fragrance/EO free and has lots of beneficial ingredient. I apply two pumps on damp skin. Slightly hydrating and helps with redness. It dries down quickly and kind of tacky. Combo and oily skin types will appreciate this because it really helps with oil control. My skin doesn't feel dry, but just comfortable and not greasy. Doesn't sting or irritate my skin. Need to use it for a longer period of time to see long term results, but so far it's nice
