Amazing!

This product is simple and simple amazing! With water as it's main ingredient it is exactly what it says it is - a water gel. This product is so light and silky that it doesn't leave a greasy feeling after application like some other moisturisers do. It soaks almost instantly into your skin and leaves no residue. Even after 1 hour there is a noticeable improvement on the hydration of the skin. I use this product daily as it has no adverse affects on my sensitive skin like others do. Probably due to the fact that the main ingredient of this product is water! I also apply it before I put on my foundation when I'm getting ready for work. It really helps with the foundation coverage. It also smells great and doesn't have the same generic moisturiser smell to it. I love this product and would definitely buy it again.

Tips: I find that leaving the gel to soak for a few minutes after application helps even more with foundation coverage.

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.

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

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.

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.

Really nice moisturiser! Love it!

I was stoked when I got one of these as part of the trial team. My skin is combo in the sense I get intense oilyness in my T-zone but my cheeks always have dry flaky patches. I've used this every day since I received about 10 days ago and I love how it makes my skin feel. It's very silky to put on your skin, and the gel absorbs very quickly, making it a good base for foundation. Since using this, I haven't noticed any dry patches appearing under my foundation :) I would definetley keep using it! Also I love the packaging, it's very sleek.

Loved it.

I was stoked to be chosen to be part of this trial team as I have noticed my skin drying out and looking duller as I age. I always go into these reviews with an open mind, and oh my goodness, I love this product. My first impression was the packaging, it looks great and much more high-end than I expected. Once I opened the jar, the smell is not overpowering and is a pleasant scent. The lightweight formula of the product was absorbed really quickly into my skin and I noticed a difference in the softness of my skin after just an hour. Being so lightweight means you don't need to use much product, so it will last for a long time It also makes it super easy to apply. Would I recommend it to a friend? Yes I would. In fact, I will be trying this on my 11 year olds skin tonight.

Highly surprised by the outcome

I have been a long time sufferer of oily combination skin. At the end of most days my T zone around my nose and under my lip are oily and create a sheen which can be quite unflattering. As one of the people selected for the trial, I was rather excited to try this product out. The product came in a typical Neutrogena box which didn't really allude me to how magical this product was. On opening the box, I discovered a sleek and attractive package inside. The colour of the container made me instantly think about water. The fragrance had a fresh and clean smell to it, although I think most Neutrogena facial products carry this fragrance. The texture of the product is gel like with a thin consistency allowing easy application to the face and neck. It absorbs quickly making it a really time efficient product to use so I could quickly throw some makeup on top. There is no sticky feeling leaving the face feel smooth and really soft. This makes applying makeup a breeze. The product left my skin feeling hydrated all day didn't give me a horrible oily t zone. My skin is also quite sensitive from being on acne medication for most of my teenage life. This product was calming and sensitive to my face. The only one let down would be that it does not have an SPF component in it. I have seen that other Hydro Boost products do have a SPF in them which I will be trying next.

Tips: Only a finger amount is needed for your whole face. Wait until it dries to apply anymore as it spreads easily. This product was great after getting my face burnt a few days ago. It has stopped my nose from peeling so I will be using this after a day in the sun.
