Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel Review

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

First thing I noticed when I received this product was the "High end" look Nutrogena have gone for with the packaging, the ocean blue tub looks amazing although it is quite bulky so wouldn't be ideal for travelling. The product has a pleasantly light and refreshing scent that isn't too strong which I love and the texture is Kind of like a thick watery gel and Its consistency is thin, runny and translucent. Only a small amount is needed and I assume the tub would last a couple of months even being used twice a day so that's a bonus! Because of the texture It glides smoothly over my face and absorbs very quickly leaving my skin feeling velvety, soft and smooth no stickiness at all that I experience with other moisturisers. Im not sure it doubles skin moisture as it claims too, maybe if it was used in conjunction with the other products from this range... I found the dry areas of my face (nose & cheeks) to still be a little flakey BUT I do think I will purchase in the future because it does make my face feel nice and smooth and Ithink is great to wear as a primer before make up :)

This trial couldn't of come at a better time for me, my skin is dry from the change of season, my nose is red from a cold, my eyes are itchy and dry from hayfever! So a hydration boost is excatly what the doctor ordered! I haven't used much neutrogena before and never ever even heard of a gel instead of a cream so I'm totally excited to get into this beautiful blue jar of hydration gel!

First impressions are good, great package lovely colours and opens easily with a second "lid" To keep the gel safely inside. Smells lovely, a light scent that doesn't overpower you. Now the gel itself is thinner than I expected but feels lovely and it's easy to apply I face an neck like the instructions say and drys fast and doesn't leave your skin oily which I love !! Product says It should be an hour and I'll have double the Moisture in my skin... Well it does feel good so that's great! I trialed this for well over a week and I have to say all those dry patches I had from weather, hayfever, red nose have dramatically improved using this product every night after cleansing. When' my nose was quite sore and red the gel did iratate it so I didn't use it there for a few days.

I'm really happy with this gel. Loved that it wasn't oily and it really did do as it said. Hydration and moisture were achieved by me ;-)

I've used for over a week and haven't even made a dent in the jar so a little goes a long way, which at this price you need it to go far ;-)
