What is the texture like?
This has a watery, lightweight gel-cream feel to it as its name implies.

Is it scented?
This has a soft, powdery scent.

My overall experience/comments on the product:
Much like the soft lotion, this is one I just might purchase, you know... if I had a windfall or won the lottery or otherwise had some intense "YOLO" moment. Its texture is just sublime and perfect for my dry-ish combination skin that needs hydration but cannot handle heavy products. It just melts into my skin and makes it feel perfectly blanketed in moisture yet not suffocated by anything heavy that doesn't absorb. So yes, the texture is a 10/10 but the results, outside of hydration... mayhap I'd need to use it long-term to say if it does anything. My main concern currently is redness and mask-ne and this hasn't seem to address either. In addition, I don't really love its signature powdery scent.

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