It is a lightweight gel that does really soothe skin inmediatly. The scent is barely there (as there isn't any perfum in the ingredients list) and it doesn't irritate. However because of its gel texture it does sink in too fast and it doesn't leave my skin so moisturized. This may be because even though I do have oily skin, it is ver dehydrated and I think this texture doesn't really work well for me. I have tried in other oily skin types and they said it was moisturizing.
