Hydro Boost Exfoliator Smoothing Gel, 150 ml (Pack of 1)

This is a great product at a great price and does the job without drying out my 70-year-old skin. I have just repeat ordered and would highly recommend it. It is gentle and does a job

I’ve been using this for 2-3 weeks, my skin is prone to getting greasy during the day and suffers from dry patches- especially in winter. So far I’m impressed with the performance of this gel face cream, it’s easy to apply and feels cool and soothing, a small amount goes a long way, so seems good value for money so far. It has not caused any irritation on my sensitive skin and has helped my dry patches disappear. I’m currently using day and night after cleansing and it has not caused any greasiness or blocked pores for the 12hrs it’s on my skin. There is basically no scent which I find reassuring and I’m able to apply my makeup/ sunscreen etc, easily over the top. I would recommend as a day cream and I am Going to continue to use it (though I will invest in a more intensive moisturiser for the night shift).

I started using a mail skincare solution which, because it contains retinoids had left my face very dry and sore, it was also peeling. The makers of the skincare solution recommended a moisturiser that was simple and non-oil based and I was struggling to find one which did not pill and ensured the amount of hydration needed. This fits the bill very well, within a week my skin has felt much more moisturised and comfortable. The product seems to sink in to the skin very well and means you don’t end up feeling sticky or shiny like you do with some creams. I also find this moisturiser good applied under makeup, and can be used both in the day and at night.

Feels nice when I put it on and it's not greasy, just soaks into the skin

Very good moisturiser. Went in well to the skin with no greasiness. Fairly priced too.

I’m really happy with Neutrogena Hydro Boost Gel Face Cream. It’s non-greasy, refreshing, and spreads easily. If kept in the fridge, it feels even more cooling and invigorating. A great everyday moisturizer.

After reading rave reviews of this product I was really excited to try - unfortunately it was a bit of a let down. It is a good moisturiser and does the job, but for the price point I found it no different to any other moisturiser. After I finish the pot I won't be re-ordering but instead going back to my old, much cheaper, moisturiser which I think performs no differently. I also found that it did sometimes sting immediately after application - this only lasted momentarily and didn't cause any other irritation but wasn't particularly pleasant. TL; DR: It works, but it's nothing special and not worth the money.

Before I started using this product, I was bouncing between different moisturisers. I have never struggled with my skin, but since last September, I started getting closed comedones! I have been trialing so many methods to get rid of them, and some of these have left my skin damaged but also neglected. A trip to an aesthetician told me that I needed more hydration in my routine as my skin was lacking this drastically, so I went ahead and bought one of their expensive creams (Aquaporin). After two months this did not make much difference to my skin in terms of hydration, I even had to buy other hyaluronic acid products to compensate, not to mention as I am rotating between Retinol, AHA/BHA, my skin is starting to get a bit dull and dry. I then decided to buy Neutrogena's gel cream recently and have not been disappointed at all! When picking between the water gel, and gel cream, many people state that ONLY fragrance is the difference. After researching, apparently this is not. The gel cream is more suitable for sensitive skin in need of more moisture as well as hydration, in a way, it is just a bit more heavier than the water gel, but it certainly does not feel heavy when I apply it, you can see from its consistency that it is very gel like and light. PROS: Not only does the product HYDRATE, it also adds MOISTURE. Both are essential in skin, and both are tough to find in one product, which is why I am even more in love with it. The cream is supposed to be thicker than the water gel, but honestly, it does not feel terribly thick on skin, in fact when you massage it in it feels incredibly soft and light. Skin does not feel tight after using, which is a problem with a lot of cheaper brand alternatives. Has not given me more closed comedones or acne, so if you are acne-prone this seems to be nice. No fragrance. Good for sensitive skin. Helps with dry and flaky patches of skin. Skin feels SO soft after using this, it is definitely retaining moisture, and this is working well with reducing comedones. CONS Some may think the price is good, I think it is decent for what you are getting, I have no problem paying this price over and over again, but I can tell this product does come on sale often so might be better to be patient and stock up. Overall: 5/5. Excellent product, I think I have find a moisturiser to use for a VERY long time, again hydration and moisture in one product is amazing! Plus it is incredibly gently on my sensitive, combination skin.
