What is the texture like?

This has an emollient yet watery texture. 

Is it scented?

It doesn't really have much of a scent.

My overall experience/comments on the product:

  I really love the texture of this product and how it hydrates my skin without being heavy or having much of a scent. I know that's kind of a short and to the point review but this moisturizer does pretty much what it says it will. I find that it leaves my skin smooth and hydrated. I can't really speak much to the anti-aging benefits as I don't really have much signs of aging on my face.

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