Doesn't have a particular scent, just slightly mineral-ish. The mask is soft & translucent; as you can see, it fits brilliantly to my face shape. Upon removing, there was indeed an obvious brightening to my complexion, almost a shade lighter! Skin tone was even & any redness I had was soothed. Pores were barely visible & texture was smoother. It doesn't skim on moisture, either, skin felt bouncy after with a moist glow. Great mask for instant brightening & a fresh look throughout the day.
