Texture is really smooth and has the snail stickiness. Once applied to the skin, it gets absorbed very quickly and no stickiness after. May not be moisturizing enough throughout the night as I wake up a bit dry. I use a moisturizer before this and it is good. Not sure about the soothing effect and the general effects of azulene. There is not really any smell to the product. Large volume, which is good, but does not come with a spatula/something to scoop with.
