What is the texture like? This is soaked in a lightweight, watery serum.

Is this scented? There is no discernible scent.

What has my experience with the product been like?

Color me impressed... this is like a sheet mask without having to wait 20 minutes. It's like a drink of water for the skin! A serum that I think any skin-type would benefit from. The serum itself feels really cooling and, as I mentioned before, like a drink of water. It kind of feels like you're using a wet wipe to refresh except that the wet wipe has a lot of benefits to it. My skin feels lightly hydrated and refreshed after using this. I think even folks with oily skin would like this because it's so lightweight and feels really nice to use and apply. Although I don't have a photo the pad itself is just slightly smaller than palm-sized and quite generously soaked so you're able to get your neck, décolletage, and hands too. :D

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