I initially didn't think I would like this since it does have a silicone primer texture. The first time I put it on, it felt strange, but after a few times of use I got used to it. I usually find all mineral sunscreens very drying on my already dry skin, so I don't love them, but this one is actually moisturizing. I didn't feel like it dried out my skin. There is definitely a small cast, but I feel like it is better than most. I have very fair skin so I can't tell on me that well, but I could tell that it wasn't completely transparent. Overall, my favorite sunscreens are combination ones or Korean ones, but this one was very pleasant to use and my skin didn't feel dry after application, which is a huge plus for me. I will definitely repurchase if I want to use a full mineral sunscreen.
