Does this contain any special/beneficial ingredients?
Again, according to bluemercury.com:
White kaolin clay helps to decongest pores, absorb excess oil and prevent blemishes from forming.Natural pumice gently cleanses, softens and smooths the skin.
Antioxidant vitamin E, aloe and licorice root help to soothe, hydrate and nourish the skin.
A unique blend of seaweed and golden berry helps to promote moisture retention.
What is the texture like?
This has a cream texture with somewhat sharp "beads" spread throughout it.
Is this scented?
This has one of those weird "unscented" scent - I think I'm smelling the Vitamin E in here.
What has my experience with the product been like?
The main reason I wouldn't purchase this is because I felt like although it's marketed as this super gentle product it was a bit too aggressive for my skin. I think I'm just so used to either using a sugar scrub that dissolves as it sits on my face or chemical scrubs that physical scrubs just feel to harsh.
