This emulsion is good for oily, acne prone skin. I mainly bought it for the antioxidant effects of green tea. It does have that "new car smell" that another reviewer mentioned but it doesn't bother me that much. I haven't used this product for very long, but I think it would work well for summer months when layered on top of a hydrating toner or essence. It may not be moisturizing enough by itself for people with a dry skin type.
