What is the texture like?
This has a lightweight, creamy feel to it. 

Is it scented?
This doesn't have a particularly discernable scent. 

My overall experience/comments on the product:
This product gets compared to the Supergoop! Glow Screen, which I like as well but costs over twice as much.  That being said, I find that in comparison, this is a touch thicker and has micro glitter in it when it's blended out. In fact, I was worried the micro glitter would make my face look like a disco ball but thankfully that isn't the case when used as primer. I am reviewing this as a primer specifically because that's what I bought it for. I prefer my Biore UV Aqua Rich Water Essence SPF 50+ PA++++ as my daily facial moisturizer and SPF in one. In terms of working as primer, this gives my skin a beautiful glow and grips my foundation wherein I feel like it gives me better coverage as well, my foundation goes on top of this smoothly and lasts 8+ hours until I wash it off.

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