It has a dewy finish, and it is moisturizing. If you have combo skin, I think it is alright. Oily skin is taking a risk because its not the lightest, but it isn't the heaviest either. Dry skin would probably have to use another moisturizer underneath it. It really works though. With the korena sunscreen controversy over the place, I can trust this sunscreen, because I did not tan when I wore this. I think my skin actually got brighter. Overall, definitely for me, I think I found my holy grail.
