A little goes a long way

My first thought on using the Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel was, it's going to go a long way, you need very little and it glides on so easily. Nicely scented and not over powering. I have been using it for nearly 2 weeks now and with an 'old' skin of 57 years I like how my skin is feeling/looking. It is obvious with how little you need to use that it will be good value for money. I will continue using this product and recommend to friends.

Tips: Use sparingly!

Gel review

I have been using this product for one week.

To be honest I haven't seen any huge difference in terms of my skin.

The formula is a light almost watery consistency which spreads well over the face.

The smell isn't too overpowering.

It feels nice on the face and does make your skin feel more soft and supple. I didn't feel like this lastep very long though and I haven't seen any longer term benefits over the course of this week.

I don't think i would buy it again, maybe if it was on sale.

Tips: You only need to use a small amount as it spreads out a long way

Soft and Supple

It comes in a eye catching box and the container itself is also very nice, with a glass look to it giving you the impression it is a jar of water. The gel is thick and creamy, yet light weight with a nice fresh scent. The product spreads really well and you only need a small amount to cover your face and neck. My skin felt instantly hydrated as soon as I applied it. It left my skin a feeling fresh and and supple which lasted all day. My skin certainly felt like it had been given a moisture boost as the product suggests.

Having sensitive skin I was a little worried whether I would react to this as I have done with other Neutrogena products, but I absolutely love this particular product and am keen to try the rest of the range. I even got my hubby to try it and his is also a fan, so it was a winner all round in our house.

I am SOLD & you will be

The Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel product has exceeded my expectations. This just blew me away, it really does add that moisture to the skin and you can feel the difference straight away, using once I jump out of the shower it’s cooling on the skin and doesn’t make the skin feel greasy or oily as have other products I have used similar in the past, this product comes in a jar so you are able to easy access the product and aware when it will be needing replacing . Upon using Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel I was hesitant as most products in this line do not hydrate and just add moister for a short time and you remove your make up and you feel dry this I swear it’s been amazing, my skin has started to feel heaps better and isn’t dry and in the short time I even noticed my spots aren’t dry and flaky as using in conjunction with an acne medication (pills) I also have used this with my foundation over time, and still gives my skin that clearer and healthier glow all day long. I have always hated taking make up off at night, but have had this drummed into me, but with this product redness isn’t there as much, and also not dry and flaky, it’s also great when you are ready to jump into bed it just relaxes the skin (I have realized NEUTROGENA also make in the range other products, I believe these will be equally as good, and cannot wait to add these to my collection. I swear by this product!!! The product doesn’t have that oily moisturizer smell like you find with your other brands, I am not currently aware of the price but for what this product has done already for my skin and how great I am feeling when using this product and I am confident you will love it just as much, it would be worth ever scent. It’s great simple packaging and does what it needs to do, and it is a great blue coloured box so will be easy to pick out on the shelves at beauty stores (supermarkets) because being a gel this product would I suspect be just as good for sensitive skins, and as gel great for people that have oily skin especially but wanting moisturizer without that extra greasy feeling. I would recommend this to a friend NO DOUBT!! I even made the boys in our house try it on, my partner thinks nothing of it, but he is not into products but his mate loved it and was like ooh, ah!! So I would head to the local supermarket or where this product is stocked and pick one up today.

Tips: There is a few other products in this particular range by Netrogena I would suggest it would be better for the skin to have the NEUTROGENA HYDRO BOOST Night Concentrate at night and then using the Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel during the day, but as this doesn't have SPF in it please ensure you are using a sun screen for the face to ensure you are being protected.

Neutrogena hydro boost water gel

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 ;-)

Tips: Keep away from really dry patches of skin under eyes as nose as it can iratate

Good but not amazing...

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 :)

Tips: A pea sized amount is all that's need for the whole face.

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.
