What is the texture like?
This has a sticky, goopy texture. 

Is it scented?
This has an oddly artificial cucumber scent.

My overall experience/comments on the product:
The texture of this is so off-putting that while it does leave my skin feeling soft and smooth I just can't ever justify going out and purchasing the product. I felt that it was hard to get it on in an even layer and that it never quite peeled off all the way and most of it had to be rinsed off. I'm also not a fan of the fact that, although it has all these great plant extracts they're all the way down on the ingredient list - ESPECIALLY the cucumber and aloe... I mean they might as well call this the lumpy water-glycerin mask but it certainly doesn't have the same ring to it.

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