Mine doesn't say "Light Texture" anywhere on the tube but it is the Active C for Normal to Combination Skin. I LOVE this stuff. My dry skin just drinks it up - it is absorbed instantly. I got the Norm...Read more

I only got this because my derm asked me to after a laser procedure. The -xane (cyclopentasiloxane) broke me out. My skin just hates any kind of xanes. I shouldn't have gotten it at all.
