Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel Review

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 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

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 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 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.

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.

I'm onto my 2nd pottle so far, so that has to say something about this one. The gel formulation is so 'soft' and lightweight. It does feel quite 'wet' when you apply it and sometimes I think I've used too much, but my skin just soaks it up. It can feel a little tacky for a minute or so after applying but that goes away very quickly and I'm left with slightly dewy looking skin. The name Hydro Boost certainly describes what it does. I mainly use it in the evening and since using it I find my skin actually looks plumper and feels moisturised in the morning. I don't know how it all works, but a few fine lines around my eyes are definitely less noticeable. The scent is light, which is perfect for those of us with extra sensitive noses. Highly recommend if you are looking for a new moisturiser that's not the traditional cream.
