Texture and Consistency

Cons:

• "This is watery and not very moisturizing."
• "It feels like it sits on the surface of the skin and doesn't hydrate, it has almost a chalky feel to it."
• "But it leaves a weird residue or feel after applied. Like just a bit chalky and a bit oily even though it's oil-free."
• "It’s also greasy after, which is a shame because I was hoping it would soak in."
• "Leaves a sticky powdery residue on skin, it feels like it sucks all the moisture out of your skin."
• "The lotion leaves a whitish dry coating on your skin for several hours, which just needs to be washed off with soap and water."
• "It also leaves absolutely no white cast but it might feel a greesy to some people."

Cons:
