Texture & Feel

Texture & Feel

Expected texture
Watery liquid — absorbs instantly, may feel slightly sticky if glycerin-rich
SpreadabilityVery easy
AbsorptionVery fast
Tackiness / ResidueNone
Finish:Fresh, weightless — absorbs completely leaving no residue

Watery, refreshing — absorbs in seconds with no residue. Silicones create a smooth, velvety "slip" with a blurring sensory effect. Powder-like dry finish typical of "soft focus" pore-blurring primers.
