There's absolutely no greasiness or shine! It has a cooling effect when applied and the scent is lovely. My girlfriend gave it to me as a gift, and I'm really satisfied with it.
ConsSince it focuses on being oil-free, it does dry rather quickly, but that's a minor issue I can live with.

The cream alone improved my skin texture. The effects were quite noticeable, probably because I used it as a mask (applying a generous amount). 3) Good value for money: Though I finished it in 2.5 weeks using it as a mask, it would last much longer with regular cream application. - Why I chose this product (TMI alert): I'm a fan of the 'skin-cream pack' method (layering cream generously over toner). This requires a lot of product, so I've been trying various affordable creams. While working at a drugstore, I had some downtime and read the ingredients to better assist customers. Noticing many suitable ingredients for my skin, I decided to give it a try. +Unnecessary curiosity. It seemed to suit my skin fairly well, apart from some dryness. But my curiosity is satisfied with just one try.
Cons- This product seems targeted at men with oily skin, especially those with very oily faces. If your face is an oil field, this cream might be perfect... but for those with normal to oily skin, it could be too drying due to its extreme freshness. Here's why: - Caution ingredient 'Alcohol-Ethanol': Most skincare products nowadays are alcohol-free, but the cooling effect I mentioned as a pro comes from alcohol. Alcohol is known to evaporate moisture. This explains why the cream lacks lasting power and dries quickly. - Fragrance: It's quite strong, reminiscent of a mild 'dad skin' scent. Also, fragrance is listed as a caution ingredient. (+Unlikely, but... for any women tempted by curiosity like me: Men's products often contain alcohol because most men have oilier skin and need bacterial disinfection after shaving.)
TipIf you use this product as a skin-cream pack, you'll experience extreme coolness. It might help you sleep well during hot summer nights.
