So hydrating but mattifying? It's a mousy texture that feels thick at first but then mattifies on the face. That thick texture i found is really good for cold harsh weather as well to protect skin. It works like a charm as a primer or on makeup no makeup days where I want my face to be blurred. It has a blurring tint to it that works well for my pale skin tone for a very light coverage.

Absorption & pilling3.8
I have middle age, oily, fair skin. I have tried so many sunscreens from drugstore to luxe brands. Most are heavy, greasy, increase shine, or cause makeup to cake. Brands marketed towards acne-prone skin have caused awful breakouts on my nose and cysts on my cheeks. I'll use Tatcha's the silk sunscreen when I can't get this one, but hands down this formula is the best for my skin. Perfect as a pri tatcha.com
