What is the texture like?

What has my experience with the product been like?
Folks I. AM. SHOOK. I've been using this regularly and had no idea that it was intended for oily skin. Now I am shook mostly because I'm dry and this doesn't dry me out at all (perhaps because I mix my serums in with oil before applying?) yet it feels refreshing when applied and leaves my skin feeling super silky. I will say that I haven't used this regularly enough to notice if it does anything for my constantly clogged pores (or are they sebaceous filaments?) on my nose but overall I love the texture of this product and how it makes my skin feel.
