What is the texture like?

This feels like a clay/mud mask and yet... not so dry and tight - which I think is due to the oils that it contains.

Is it scented?

This smells really fruity... it smells like a green fruit smoothie that you'd get and feel really good about having consumed.

My overall experience/comments on the product:

I didn't find this to be mind blowing. I think it's cool that this does indeed turn from a clay mask to an oil when moistened which my skin can appreciate since it's dry. It felt like it cleaned my face fairly nicely and... I can't tell you if it was dirt that this drew out of my skin or exfoliating particles but there were these scrubby-feeling things on my skin when I went to wash this off. My skin did feel clean but not much more so than using any other type of mud mask. *shrug*

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