I don't love this, but it's not terrible. I expected this to sting the crap out of my eyes, but I experienced no eye sting! The finish is silky/matte but not drying. The ingredient that gives this such a nice matte finish, aluminum starch octenylsuccinate, is an insoluble white powder that does give this a bit of a cast (but they don't market it as transparent, thank god). Other than the slight cast with this, this is a fantastic drug store pick.
