This has mineral oil and wax. Ok, so I bought this because of the hype on the review section and because I have a flaky and dry skin due to the effect of my hormonal pills. Time of application: I applied before bedtime, I wash it off in the morning Effect on skin: oily/greasy on face. Not fast absorbing. but soft, smooth on skin I only apply small amount on my face to prevent pore clogging. I suggest not to put this on your big pores (might be an old acne scar that still have open pores) Because You might get a black-head due to clogged pores. For me, I can only suggest this during cold weather to prevent sweating. I just didn't like that it is not fast absorbing and has greasy-feeling/sticky. Anyways, it is a quite good moisturizer as it might help you to achieve young-looking skin on your face, but I prefer the "No Fuss moisturizer cream" (Brand: No Fuss) to this. Maybe they could improve the formula to be a non sticky/non-greasy effect on skin but still moisturizes the skin.
