You could use it like a brightening moisturizer. It's somewhere between dewy and matte...
ConsI had to stop using this product because it made my skin red. I didn't notice at first because of my makeup, but when I used only this product, my face became flushed. There was no itching or blemishes, just redness.

I tossed it after just a week of use.
ConsIt severely irritates my eyes and causes redness on my skin. It also pills when I apply makeup.

But oh boy, was I wrong!
ConsIt stings so incredibly much... My skin isn't particularly sensitive, and I've never had a burning sensation with any other product, but this one makes my face feel like it's on fire. I'm baffled by the claims of good absorption. Maybe it's because I tend to apply sunscreen generously, but it leaves a white powdery residue on my face. I have to keep rubbing it in to make it disappear, which means spending extra time every morning scrutinizing my face in the mirror. Also, for a daily-use product, it's frustrating that the tip always hardens overnight. I have to wipe it clean with a tissue before each use, which is quite inconvenient.
TipI'll say it again: I have really resilient skin, but this product sets my face ablaze. I strongly advise against purchasing it if you can help it.

Please keep this in mind! I bought this product after a cosmetics expert at the drugstore recommended it for its sebum control and matte finish. Unfortunately, it really didn't work for me. If I had to find some positives: ✔️No eye irritation My skin is incredibly sensitive, and my eyes are even more so. I always prioritize products that don't irritate my eyes, so the lack of eye irritation was a bit of a silver lining. ✔️Absorbs well The texture wasn't too runny or too thick, and it spread easily on the skin. I liked how smoothly it applied.
ConsOh, the downsides... I have so much to say! Let me explain one by one: ✔️Skin irritation (likely due to avobenzone) 8-9 times out of 10, within a minute of application, my skin temperature would spike dramatically. It felt like I had a severe burn - the pain was intense, forcing me to wash it off immediately. The other 1-2 times, it just caused stinging and a burning sensation. I suspect the avobenzone doesn't agree with my skin. Even after washing it off, my skin continued to burn and feel irritated for about an hour, forcing me to go out without makeup. ✔️Excess oil When I tested it on my hand, it seemed to have a matte finish. But maybe I should have tested it on my face? Initially, it felt firm with just the typical sunscreen oiliness. However, after 1-2 hours, I could feel and see the oil building up to an uncomfortable level. I seriously doubted its sebum control claims. ✔️Makeup pilling Unless you apply the tiniest amount and put extra effort into your base makeup, your face becomes a mess with makeup sliding off like it's melting. It was shockingly bad - almost impossible to fix. ✔️Blemishes I usually only get small blemishes, with maybe one cystic acne spot per month at most. But after switching to this sunscreen (keeping all other skincare and makeup products the same), I immediately broke out with 4-5 cystic acne spots. It was awful!
TipIf you're sensitive to avobenzone like me, you might want to think twice before purchasing this product.

ConsAt first, it was fine for the first week and didn't cause any blemishes. But suddenly, one day when I applied it, my skin started tingling. I quickly removed it and used a baby sunscreen instead. Haven't used it since

It's such a great feature!
ConsWhat on earth are the ingredients in this? Within 5 minutes of applying, my cheeks develop severe redness and there's a burning sensation. It's not until the afternoon at work, after lunch and some cool air, that my skin color returns to normal...

ConsI don't know what it is about this product that doesn't agree with me, but after applying it, my face would feel hot and flushed. This has never happened before... Even with regular drugstore products, I've never experienced this kind of burning sensation... Oh well

I switched to this after finding Avene's sun fluid left a severe white cast.
ConsIt stings immediately upon application and my face feels hot... I wouldn't have bought it if I knew it contained avobenzone. My skin was ruined before when I used a product with this ingredient. It's infuriating that they've disguised it under a different name. Those with super sensitive skin should avoid this.

The high SPF is a great bonus.
ConsI was shocked by the burning sensation right after application. Although it fades over time, the constant heat I felt every time I used it made it impossible for me to continue using this product.
