It's often described as retaining a 'rough' finish, although it colors the concrete. Stains are available in opaque and semi-transparent options. For touch-ups, stains are very convenient; if a spot peels or wears, a DIYer can easily apply a little extra stain to the affected area or buy a new gallon and reapply.
