g, that is a great question.
If you apply Aqualant on dry skin it has a silky/oily feeling. My mother is so dehydrated in Colorado, that she applies it several times a day on dry skin. This does leave a slight oily feel that absorbs in about 30 minutes.
However, I don't recommend this for most people. If you apply to wet skin and then lightly pat dry, there is no oily feeling whatsoever. It absorbs immediately and helps lock in the moisture without that oily feel. Your skin will feel silky smooth. After a week of using it daily on wet skin, you will feel a noticeable difference on your skin.
