It's quite oily, and I have oily skin, so when I used it, it smudged quite a bit. The oil came to the surface, and by the evening, my skin was shiny.
It leaves your skin feeling smooth from the moment you apply it. It also helps hide pores, so I apply it first.
I think it's just the right amount for someone with dry skin. If someone with oily skin uses it, it'll probably be amazing! It has a very oily finish, so it's good for people with dry skin who want to achieve a radiant complexion, but for people with normal skin or those whose skin changes with the seasons like me, it's likely to break down easily.
It is certainly effective for small pores, but it may not be enough to address the concerns of aging.
