What is the texture like?
This feels silky and lightweight yet richly moisturizing. I will say that I think it feels lightweight for someone with a dry skin type whereas someone with oily skin will most likely find this too heavy for them.
Is it scented?
This has a sweet, earthy, slightly herbaceous scent to it.
My overall experience/comments on the product:
Personally I think the scent on this is a bit odd, not in a bad way, but it's a strange scent. It does dissipate very quickly once it's on your face. That aside, I think this is a great moisturizer if you're like me where your skin is dry but cannot handle thick, heavy moisturizers. This absorbs into the skin easily while providing rich hydration. In fact, on my face, it feels pretty weightless. I haven't tried to use this as a primer so I'm unsure if it'll help with the longevity of my makeup.
Please let me know if you have any questions or comments.
