I've always associated mattifying with drying, but this moisturizer is definitely not drying at all or one of those moisturizes that sink right into your pores. It is ultra lightweight, and the consistency of this moisturizer is slightly watery, and partially gel-like. This moisturizer is vegan, and the three main ingredients are coconut water, alpine rose, and goji berry. It feels cool, and refreshing on your face and definitely keeps your skin hydrated nicely in this season of constant fluctuations in weather.
