What is the texture like?
This feels like a nourishing-yet-lightweight cream, almost like a very rich gel-cream.
Is it scented?
This doesn't really have a discernible scent.
My overall experience/comments on the product:
Friends I LOVED using this moisturizer so much! I adore the texture, I like how it hydrates my skin really well without being heavy or sticky. I constantly recommend this to people during this time of year when it's cold and your skin starts to get flaky or freak out because this isn't too thick or heavy but gives fantastic hydration and is soothing to the skin. I do wish the price point was a bit more approachable but alas.
