The texture is a little richer than I'd like. The formula is meant for combination/oily skin but I feel it would be more appropriate for those with normal to dry skin types. The cream is a pale pinkish colour with a slight iridescent shimmer. Again, anyone with oily skin doesn't want added shimmer in their cream, my skin produces enough shine on it's own. I also felt it left my skin feeling tacky and didn't absorb well. My skin just felt overly oily most of the time. Ultimately I wasn't a huge fan of this cream since I didn't like the feel on my skin.
