What is the texture like?

This has a tradition liquid cleanser texture. 

Is it scented?

This has a clean, green scent to it. I'd describe it as slightly watery.

My overall experience/comments on the product:

So because this is a clear liquid cleanser I was concerned it might dry out my skin but alas, surprisingly, not at all. It's a very soft, lightweight clean that, while I enjoy, I'd reserve for the summertime. I personally prefer a thicker more cream-based cleanser for the winter season. However, I think it does an amazing job of leaving my skin clean without being stripped and I LOVE the way it smells. Like I said, I think I'd really like this for use as a summertime cleanser.

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