Does this contain any special/beneficial ingredients?
Other than the those mentioned above this has the following:
Glycerin: A humectant, attracts moisture to the skin.
Lactic Acid: Has a mild exfoliating effect and helps bind moisture to the skin.
Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 and 7: Both of these peptides are meant to help reverse skin damage as well as to soothe irritation and inflammation. They may also help in collagen production.

What is the texture like?
This has a lightweight, thin gel-cream-like texture. 

Is this scented?
This has the kind of "clean" scent that unscented products tend to have.

What has my experience with the product been like?
Generally speaking I'm not the target audience for this product as I - thankfully - don't really have much in the way of lines except for the creases in my under-eye area which most humans have. Additionally, given the texture of this and its quick absorbency, it isn't one of those products that gives a "filler" type of smoothing effect. Frankly, given the ingredient list here I'm shocked that hyaluronic acid isn't included. That being said I really like the texture of this and how it makes my skin feel very smooth, silky, and hydrated. I do find that it adds a nice boost of hydration to my skin and because it makes it feel smooth (in a healthy skin kind of way, again, not in a silicone "smoothing" type of way) that foundation goes over this very nicely. I tend to apply a little all over my face as this spreads really easily.
