What is the texture like?

This feels super lightweight and refreshing.

Is it scented?

This has an earthy, camphor-like scent to it mixed with tea tree and cucumber. It isn't awful but I don't love it.

My overall experience/comments on the product:

  Honestly I feel like I'd really like this moisturizer for the summertime as that's the only time of year I tend to get a bit oily. I like that it actually hydrates quite nicely despite being super lightweight, another aspect that I'd really like in the summertime as anything that feels lightweight, cooling, and refreshing is quite welcome. That said, I think this doesn't do enough for me being that it's cold, it hydrates nicely, but I prefer something a bit thicker and richer.

Please let me know if you have any questions or comments.
