silky smooth , but not so special otherwise -
This feels so smooth and soft, you can use the tiniest bit and it lathers really well, so the texture is great! has a faint scent of citrus. for my skin, after use it leaves it just a bit dry (in a cleared of oil way- also to be expected with vitamin c and alchohol etc). its not *hydrating*, but not drying either- it cleans well when doubled up, not Show more
