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

Plant-based collagen combined with a powerful bio-peptide work to supplement naturally recurring collagen and help to stimulate cell renewal, visibly reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles over time.

Vitamin B5 binds water to the skin, helping to plump, replenish moisture and reinforce the skin’s barrier.

Antioxidants Japanese lemon balm and kakadu plum extract help to protect against free radicals and reinforce naturally recurring hyaluronic acid and collagen levels, leaving skin looking smooth and luminous.

What is the texture like?

I'd describe the texture as a light-weight cream that feels super refreshing when applied. 

Is it scented?

This has a very soft, clean skin type of scent to it.

My overall experience/comments on the product:
I'll be honest that I really love the lightweight, quick-absorbing texture of this. It makes the skin feel hydrated and silky without being heavy at all. At the end of the day, I like the product and if it was perhaps in the range of $20-40 I'd pick it up but to pay so much money just because I like the texture and hydration of the product feels excessive to me.

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