What is the texture like?

This starts off feeling silicone-y but dries to a silky, powdery finish.

Is it scented?

This has a very faint "unscented" chemical type scent.

My overall experience/comments on the product:

Alright so a few things - I had no idea that this was technically considered a primer, I mean it's got the right texture for it but it's not very clearly marketed that way; they tell you to use it as the last step in skincare and right before makeup... for me, that's moisturizer. This does provide some light hydration so it's not bad for that but I will say if you're very dry, this won't do enough. In addition, I love recommending this particular sunscreen for men because it's incredibly lightweight where it doesn't really feel like anything and it's completely clear, so it doesn't feel or look like makeup either. Plus, because this dries down powdery, it's great for anyone who's on the oilier end of the spectrum.

Please let me know if you have any questions or comments.
