What is the texture like?
This has a thick texture yet lightweight feel to it.
Is it scented?
This smells kind of floral and powdery.
My overall experience/comments on the product:
Frankly I find the texture of this a bit too intense for my skin - I don't have any particular aging concerns so I cannot say how well it works in that aspect. In addition, I really am not a fan of its scent.
Please let me know if you have any questions or comments.
