I have finally finished a full bottle of this and I use it everyday. One of my favorites and I have tried many. I have a medium-light brown skin color and have drier skin that is not acne prone. I personally like the dewy look so the “oily” look is not a problem to me and usually it sets in pretty well. I would suggest putting it on with a tool to pat it in to make it set in faster.
