As somebody with sensory issues, I really enjoy the texture of this moisturiser. It is thick but lightweight, and not sticky or slimey at all. It's also very nice and hydrating for my super dry skin. It does have a fragrance, but it isn't too strong and it doesn't hang around for too long. I will definitely repurchase this item.

Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel Review
Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel double’s skins moisture in just 1hr. This refreshing, silky gel formula uses the innovative Progressive Release System to address the underlying cause of dryness by absorbing moisture from the air and releasing it into the skin over time, so skin stays soft and radiant looking all day long.

Back in 2022, I happened to buy this product off a chemist warehouse shelf, merely because of the word 'hydro'. Honestly, I didn't expect much initially but now this is one of the products i cannot live without. For someone, who has always struggled to keep skin hydrated, this product was really God sent! I love it much that I am nearly on my 6th bottle and I use it both AM and PM and also as needed during the day.
Tips: Pro tip # 1 - Don't forget to apply on your hands, it works so well on the hands too! Pro tip # 2 - Apply it as the very product on your skin whilest it's damp, as soon as you shower or wash your face. This will keep your skin hydrated for longer.
I saw a Davey Rooney video explaining the difference between dry and dehydrated skin and decided to give this a go, and wow I'm not disappointed!!! Within a few days my skin has become so soft and way less oily too.
Tips: At night pop a thin layer of vaseline on after applying the gel
I absolutely love this product and noticed a difference in my skin the next day! Neutrogena generally is very good for my skin, no irritation and always improves my skin. Highly recommend.
Tips: Use at night so it absorbs
Purely because of the fragrance, I wouldn’t buy this one again. It smells good but I have sensitive skin and if your barrier is compromised it will probably burn and irritate your skin like it did mine.
Otherwise it is non comedogenic and great for oily combination skin, as is the gel cream too!
Tips: Try the fragrance free gel cream if you react to it. I think they’re equally moisturising.
I was expecting super hydration when I bought this but was pretty disappointed. It didn't deliver and it didn't do anything special. My skin was no more moisterized than if I used any old moisterizer. But, if texture is important to you and you want a gel product that feels light weight and sinks in well then I think you'd like this. I imagine it would be good for oily skin types. With my combination skin that can get fairly dry I wanted something more moisturizing and thick. I do like the refreshing feeling of it though when you first apply it and liked to keep it in the fridge so it was cool too.
I have been using this moisturizer on and off for around 8 years now! It is my trusty go-to that I always purchase when I see it on sale (it is regularly up to 40% off at Countdown, Pac n Save or Chemist Warehouse now). I keep using this product because I love the gel texture, and it absorbs into my skin so well leaving it dewy and feeling so moisturised. I also love the night version, which I sometimes use in the day during winter when I need extra hydration. I have bought this so many times I have lost count, and always finish it. It is the only product I have been loyal too this long, it works, feels lovely to use, and the price is great. I have recommended this to quite a few friends too. Love it!
I really love Neutrogena as a brand. Nothing I have ever used from them has affected my sensitive skin. This is a nice gel/cream formula and a little bit goes a long way. Feels alot like a serum/moisturiser. Love it! I’m on my second tub
It's my 5th time using Hydro Boost Water Gel. Recommend it to dry skin people as well as Oily skin people. It has that watery feelings to it when you scoop it for the first time. I even took these to my holiday out side New Zealand.
I purchased this moisturiser as multiple people recommended it on TikTok. I was a bit disappointed. It does dry well. Does not leave skin feeling oily. I did expect more of a hydrating aspect to it though.
