My Skin Type: COMBINATION  BUT ONLY SLIGHTLY DRY

Texture & Scent:

1. Mixture of  light gel and cream (Almost watery)
2. Mild fresh citrusy scent ( Mix Citrus Essence)

Pros:

1. Feel extremely light on the skin
2. Hydrating but not sticky
3. Absorb very quickly
4. No white residue 
5. Sit well under make-up or moisturizer
6. No sunscreen scent
7. Nice soft citrus scent
8. Easy to carry and use on the go 
9. Very affordable for the quality

Cons:

1. Does not sit well on top of moisturizer

Personal Experience:

1. My HOLY GRAIL sunscreen!
2. Fantastic when layering with other skincare
3. Leave skin feeling soft and supple
4. I only feel like it does not sit too well on top of a moisturizer
5. Doest not disturb my foundation application
6. Does not have a severe white cast with flash photography 
7. Does not smell like typical sunscreen
8. Smell heavenly (I'm a citrus scent lover!)
9. Great at mixing with liquid foundation as it won't change the foundation formula

Personal Opinion:

It works great with all skin type. If you have oily skin, you probably can skip moisturizer altogether.
