Hello folksickles. Today's review will be for m-61 PowerGlow Moisturizer

Availability: This product retails at $76 for 50 ml (1.7 fl. oz.) and is exclusive to bluemercury.com and macys.com along with their physical store locations (only Macy's with a bluemercury inside).

What is this product designed to address?

According to bluemercury.com this is what the product is and what it does:

This lightweight moisturizer helps to resurface, clarify and firm the skin for a radiant, renewed glow.

Does it contain any special/beneficial ingredients?
Again, according to bluemercury.com:

Glycolic and salicylic acid help reduce pore size, reduce the appearance of fine lines and improve the skin’s tone, texture and clarity

Vitamin K helps reduce the appearance of spider veins and combats dry, rosacea-like patches

Antioxidant bilberry extract helps promote an even skin tone

Chamomile, lavender, and aloe assist in calming and soothing irritation. 

What is the texture like?

I'd describe the texture as being a very light, gel-cream. 

Is it scented?

This has doesn't really have much of a scent.

My overall experience/comments on the product:
I'll be honest that I really love the lightweight, quick-absorbing texture of this and how, due to the acids, it makes my skin feel buttery smooth. That said, if you have any open wounds on your face - cuts from shaving or acne, this STINGS for a minute or so after being applied. If your skin isn't super sensitive and you have a lot of texture and flaky skin I would suggest looking into this moisturizer as it can really smooth out those issues. In addition to that, it's not super hydrating, so while this product is great to smooth out the skin, it's not the best at actually providing lasting hydration.

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