This is marketed for oily skins. It doesn't keep my oilies away long, I would say it's at par with other alcohol-based sunscreen primers. It isn't irritating during the summer but will probably be drying in the winter. The SPF is 20++ and there is another version at a lower SPF. Good base for make-up, doesn't ball up. A pale white-beige liquid that doesn't provide coverage. I am on my search for a primer that can control oil longer than 4 hours. If you have combination or slightly oily skin, this may last much longer for you.
