Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel Review

I have oily skin and this is so amazing! It feels super luxurious and moisturising. It sinks in right away and doesn't feel heavy at all. I think this has become my favourite moisturiser of all time. And the packaging is really pretty and looks expensive and high quality

To begin I should tell you my skin type: I am oily - dehydrated, slightly enlarged pores through cheeks, nose and forehead. I have some redness and old acne scarring (though not too bad). My skin's texture is very rough and dull.

I was gifted this product from a friend, had I not been gifted it I probably wouldn't have brought it myself simply because I was all about the mattifying aspects of life. I often strayed from products boasting hydrating claims but that was before I knew better. This little tub of cream/gel is wonderful. I adore the texture, it's very light weight and sinks in beautifully. It's actually perfect for my skin even though I'm oily - I used it as a night cream and didn't wake up looking like a total grease ball. Now this didn't do any wonders for my redness, scarring or pores but it didn't claim to, it did exactly as it said - hydrated. My skin looked fresh all day after having this applied at night, it wasn't too much dewy-ness for my liking which is one of my biggest pet peeves with hydrating products. Will I buy this again? No, not at this time simply because I have started an entirely custom made routine but if I was ever in a pinch and needed a good night cream I would definitely pick this up!

I got this in my mystery box from the last beauty vault. Firstly the product comes in a nice blue jar, it looks quite flash like a high-end product which I liked. The product was really nice and cooling to apply to your skin, it felt very refreshing. I also really liked the smell of the product, it also has a nice refreshing smell to it. I found this product really moisturizing and left my skin feeling soft and smooth.

Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel is a very lovely product, it really is quite refreshing and silky and easy to glide on the skin. My skin drinks it up in seconds and can't get enough of it!

I like using this as my base moisturizer, kinda like a serum, because this is a water based product, it is more hydrating rather then moisturizing, I feel like I needed a layer of moisturizer to coat over it, and it does work well with a moisturizer over it.

I purchased this a few weeks ago now as my skin has been getting increasingly drier due to the colder weather. I had read mostly good reviews about it so decided to give it ago over my usual moisturizer.

The packaging is attractive and sturdy, and looks high end despite the low to middle price. The product itself is pale blue and quite heavily fragranced (which was the first negative for me).

This gel feels nice on the skin when you first apply it, though it does semi feel like you're rubbing water all over your face rather than a moisturizer haha. It soaks in quickly and my skin felt nice for ten minutes or so, but after that it just got progressively drier and drier, resulting in drier skin than I had before!

I tried this several ways, reapplying, using in conjunction with other moisturizer, etc and unfortunately I just couldn't get it to work with my skin type. It did also end up breaking me out in a pimply type rash - lots of little red bumps under the skin, which is likely attributed to the ingredients that create the strong fragrance.

All in all, I'm really disappointed that I couldn't get this to work! I still want to try the eye gel version but I worry that it will just make my fine lines worse :(

I've never been a very big fan of Neutrogena but I thought I would give this a go as it sounded different and interesting. I've been using this for about 2 weeks now and I really like it so far, I use this at night after I have applied Rosehip oil. It has a different type of texture like a thin jelly much as the name implies. The smell isn't offensive so people with sensitive skin would probably have no issue. The packaging is nice the top feels metal? I'm not sure but it is quite sturdy, I do wish that the jar itself was glass but its what inside that counts. Overall this product absorbs well and leaves my skin really moisturized (I have normal to dry skin). Unsure at this stage if I will repurchase.

I need to buy a new one soon, I'm almost out. Use it every morning after cleaning my face. It absorbs really well leaving my skin plump and does what it says it does. It helps with my foundation and my skin stays still, it doesn't slip. It also feels nice and cool just like the laneige water sleeping pack which I also love.

Have been using this pot since I got it in a gift box. The pot is quite pretty but then I like blue as a colour. At first I thought the product was quite light and couldn't possibly have much effect. It's very light and feels a bit thicker than water but not as thick as most creams. Your skin feels light and refreshed once applied. I give it a few minutes to dry off before doing anything else. My skin feels lovely and soft. It certainly does not give away my true age. I love this product and will be looking to replace my nearly empty jar.

Love the texture that it gives when apply to skin, kind of like a soft delicate jelly watery texture. It instantly moisturisers and refreshes. Its my go to morning product for waking up and revitilising my skin. Love the product.
