I was looking for something that I could use almost like a primer, but less heavy duty on days I am not putting on makeup. I have very dry skin and this is not moisturizing enough for me to use on its own. Maybe I bought a lemon, but mine has almost...texture to it, it's slightly gritty. This was not something I was expecting at all and really ruined the whole thing, it doesn't feel nice when it goes on and it strips my face of the nice feeling from other moisturizers.
CONS: tube leaks when sat down without cap (why couldn't it be in a pump bottle?), mine has a weird texture to it
PROS: love the smell, it does provide some refinement to the skin, definitely matte and lasts pretty well
If you are looking for something that will help mattify your face and just tweak your skin to look a little smoother and more "blurred" I would say try this, do not expect it to be a BB cream.
