Does this contain any special/beneficial ingredients?
Glycerin, Sucrose: Draw moisture from the environment into the skin

Hydroxyethyl Urea: Ok I know urea sounds close to urine and gross, most of the urea used in skin-care is lab-made. It actually helps the skin retain moisture and helps to repair the skin's moisture barrier. In addition it helps draw in moisture from the environment into the skin. 

Algae Extract: Has antioxidant and anti-aging properties. 

Caffeine: Topical caffeine helps to boost the skin's circulation, creating a slightly tightening, glowing effect. 

Aloe Barbedenis Leaf Water: Soothes and moisturizers the skin. The aloe water in the moisture surge line is specially formulated to be fast-absorbing and super soothing. 

What is the texture like?

This feels is a very lightweight gel that just bursts with moisture, it feels like a splash of water moisture on the skin. I find that it absorbs quickly. 

Is this scented?
To me this has a very faint aloe scent. 

What has my experience with the product been like?

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the way this makes my skin feel. I love how hydrating and refreshing it is, especially going into the summertime. I also love how hydrating it is while being oil-free. It just makes my skin feel so good and I highly recommend it to anyone who needs a product to refresh, hydrate, and soothe the skin.
