-Papaya Extract: Rich in vitamins, this natural enzyme helps soften the appearance of skin.

What is the texture like?

This has a texture very reminiscent of aloe gel, it's gelatinous but is almost watery when worked into the skin.

Is this scented?

This has a clean cucumber-y aloe scent. 

What has my experience with the product been like?

Overall I find this mask to be refreshing and softening for the skin. It's great for the summertime especially when skin may feel depleted of moisture from being out in the heat but might be producing oil due to humidity or heat and you just cannot be bothered to rehydrate with anything heavy. That said, I think the mask is pricey for what it is and you could just get aloe gel or buy an aloe plant and rub a leaf section upon your face for much cheaper (granted fresh aloe juice/sap is STICKY! so you might want to mix it in with a moisturizer you like).

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