George Rabel: 1:00pm Feb 8, 2005: It is fine the way you use it, but it could also be: "Stands out for its fine texture and is very pleasant to the touch." -

leaves your skin feeling soft/smooth/silky

Explanation:
I'm not saying Geoerge is wrong, but this is another way to put it and is used quite widely in cosmetics advertising. It also gets round your problem with using "touch". There are also any number of adjectives you can throw in for "soft" and "smooth" here.

You could say something like: "REVITALIA TENSORA NECK & NECKLINE stands out for its fine texture and leaves your skin feeling smooth and silky.

pleasant to be touched

Explanation:
It's just another possibility, given the fact that English so much prefers passive voice.
