Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel

Unfortunately I used this once, it stung my face as I put it on and the next day was covered in a rash on my face, however my skin did feel nice to touch. I tried one more time, once again, slight sting followed by a rash. The Hydro Boost Water Gel is a nice texture and goes on easily. I gave the rest to my Mum and she loves it, I guess if you have sensitive skin avoid it, if not, love it and enjoy it!

Tips: Best not to use if you have sensitive skin

Hydro heaven

Wow this product is amazing. I was super stoked to be selected to try it in the trial. It definitely delivers what it promises. My skin feels absolutely wonderful. It's even helped with the dark circles under my eyes. I love the instant cool and refreshing feeling I get when I put it on. The packaging is very stylish. You don't need to put much on either as a little goes a long way. Ive stepped away from my old go to product and this will remain in its place.

Tips: Perfect after a hot day in the sun. The cooling sensation it gives will calm your skin perfectly

Hydro boost water gel

I've really enjoyed trialling this gel. I would normally stick to traditional moisturiser but found I really prefer the consistency if the gel. It glides on smoothly spreads easily and doesn't leave my skin sticky. The gel smells nice not over powering like some facial cremes. I have sensitive skin and get excema my skin has been left smooth with no signs of irritation hydrated and no reaction from the gel. I will definitely look at replacing this with more when it does run out. A little does really go along way.

Tips: I used a hydra gel face mask and followed with the gel for extra hydration for a refresh over the weekend.

Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel

I am really enjoying this product its very hydrating but doesn't make my skin go oily throughout the day. This product has a gel type texture and a cool refreshing feeling to the face when first applied and a little bit goes a long way.

I would use this product again, I do really like it as it doesn't make my face go oily (working in a hospital all day) however I feel the price might be a bit high for some especially students but overall I would recommend this product especially for summer.

Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel

I have been using this product twice a day for the last 10 days and I was more than a little disappointed with this particular product. To start with the positives, it is a very light gel and when I first apply it I find it to have a very soothing feel. It is very light and absorbs into the skin quite quickly. I have sensitive skin and this product didn't effect my skin at all which is great. It doesn't have an overpowering fragrance - just a nice light one. The thing I was not very happy with was the claim of hydration. I didn't notice any change in my skin at all and I did follow the instructions to apply it liberally. The other thing was that once it absorbed it didn't seem to leave a smooth layer that most creams do which makes the application of makeup easier. Not that I am talking about a greasy layer but a fine amount that smoothes the way for foundation. This product just seemed to absorb and that was it. The price also seems high, although if it hydrated the skin as it claimed then I would say it would be worth it. I was unhappy that this didn't live up to the majority of its claims as being an older person it would be great if it did. The reason I gave it 2/5 points for 'doing what it said it would' was the fact that it was a light gel and was obviously 'allergy tested'. Sorry but I wouldn't recommend it.

Lightweight but heavy duty

I have pretty normal skin. Not too dry, not too oily. But the texture of my skin showed that although it did not feel dry it was dehydrated. I was excited to try Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel because it actually attracts moisture into the skin. I have used moisturisers before that have clogged me up and caused me to break out, but I had confidence that a water gel would not.

I began using the gel daily. It has a lovely, watery, lightweight texture and a very subtle fresh scent. It is a pleasure to apply and sinks into the skin super quickly, becoming fully absorbed and leaving no film on the skin. You can apply makeup almost immediately.

My face was left feeling like silk - I would skim my fingers over my skin just to feel how soft and smooth it was. You wouldn't normally expect such a lightweight gel to provide sufficient moisture but it really worked, keeping my skin feeling soft and balanced throughout the day, with no dry patches and no oily buildup.

I have been looking closely at the texture of my skin and it has definitely improved in the 2 weeks I have been using this product - it is smoother and seems firmer and the tiny fine lines have reduced. I am so impressed and will definitely continue to use this product! I highly recommend it.

Amazing silky skin effect

Love love love this product. I have very dry sensitive skin so was rather anxious to try this product. I have used twice a day for 8 days now and have had nothing but great results. My skin is more hydrated and feels so much smoother. Only let down for this product is no SPF in there for sun protection. Would defiantly use again

Tips: Not a good base for makeup as skin absorbs so quick so make sure you use a primer

Hydration Hello!!

Finally I think I have found a product that combats my dry skin! As soon as I put it onto my freshly cleansed skin it just sank it. It wasn't greasy or oily but instantly felt my skins moisture levels had doubled! After a few hours my skin felt even more moisturized (Like it states). It is also a fantastic base for my make up as I felt my make up lasted longer with this as a base.

Tips: Apply in the morning after cleansing and enjoy moisture filled skin all day long (:

Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel

Light texture and has a cooling sensation upon application. I applied a generous amount since it's not too rich/pore clogging it gets absorbed super quickly with my dehydrated face. Soaks it all up, I recommend people with dehydrated skin to use it for hydration. Reasonable price for the product would recommend to a friend if they had dry skin.

Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel Review

The consistency is a very thin, wet, slick feeling which is different to many moisturizers. However this does not make it feel greasy or oily at all on your face which is surprising. A little goes a long way as of this which is great. I found it to be hydrating all day - lasting a good 15 hours. Very good product thus far (nearly 2 weeks use)

Tips: Make sure your face is towel dry before application.
