If you’re an avid skin care product user, you’ve likely heard of Neutrogena, one of the top skin care brands in the United States. The brand is known for their variety of affordable facial and body products to support skin health.
The Hydro Boost Water Gel is one of the brand’s bestselling products. With its gel consistency, this customer favorite is not your average moisturizer. Formulated with hyaluronic acid, an active ingredient that attracts and binds water to the skin, this Neutrogena moisturizer keeps skin supple and hydrated.
Hydrating moisturizers are usually geared toward people with dry skin, but those with oily skin also need hydration. This moisturizer is oil-free and noncomedogenic, so it won’t clog your pores. This makes it a suitable choice for those with oily skin, like myself.
The gel feels nice on the skin, but is it worth the hype? Here, I’ll review the Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel for hydration and see why it’s a top seller.
BV Product Reviews
Rated 5 out of 5 by meudail from My skin Loves this cream. I've been using this for 2 weeks and I wish I had tried it sooner. I have sensitive dehydrated rosacea skin (type 1 and 2) and was looking for a moisturiser that would help hydrate my skin. After toner and essence I spray thermal spring water and then apply this moisturiser, it soaks right in and leaves my skin so soft. I know it's helping as my skin isn't as oily and my make up lasts longer, usually I would be blotting my face by mid morning with my previous moisturiser and now I might have to blot my skin by mid afternoon. I find it so cooling and refreshing and have not had any reaction to it.
Rated 5 out of 5 by catherineh91 from Hydration all day! I bought this product yesterday as all my other moisturisers I have used sadly don’t seem to keep my skin hydrated for long. I would put moisturiser on and 15-20 minutes later my skin would feel dry and tight again. I have used this once and it’s fantastic. It feels cool on my face and instantly made it feel soft. It kept my face hydrated all day which I am over the moon about! If you have very dry skin like myself, my advice to you would be to try this product! My new favourite moisturiser!
Rated 5 out of 5 by Mousemallow2 from Amazing I have very dry flaky skin that has been very hard to manage. Foundation flakes off and looks awful. This product has worked amazingly! My dry flaky skin is gone and is now soft and smooth! The product sinks in to the skin very quickly and isn't greasy or oily. Also a little of this product goes a long way! There is no fragrance and doesn't upset my very sensitive skin. This product is amazing and worth every penny!!
Rated 5 out of 5 by Kirsty40 from I’m stock piling this! My skin had a reaction to an astringent toner and face wash and became sore and dry. This has saved my skin, it’s perfume/ fragrance free and didn’t sting at all. I applied a little bit to a damp face and left it to dry in before applying my cerave moisturiser on top. This is like a drink for your skin and plumps it. It’s a humectant to lock-in moisture, it shouldn’t be used to replace a moisturising cream. I think the reason it has any bad reviews is because people think it’s moisturising cream.
Pros
For a long time, I described my skin type as oily. Once I learned more about how to properly care for my skin, I realized that oiliness was a side effect of dehydration.
Oil production goes into overdrive when skin lacks hydration. I fell into the trap of believing that hydrating products were only for dry skin, so I didn’t use them. My skin was compensating for the lack of hydration by producing excess oil.
Now that I incorporate a source of hydration into my skin care routine, my skin type is closer to combination skin. In the colder months, I notice more dryness, especially on my cheeks and under my eyes. In the warmer months, which is most of the year in California, I lean on the oily side, especially in my T-zone.
I’m also prone to mild breakouts, so I’m mindful of the ingredients I put on my skin.
My skin care routine
As a skin care enthusiast, I enjoy trying out new products to see if they’ll earn a semi-permanent place in my rather simple routine.
In the mornings, I use:
- hyaluronic acid essence
- vitamin C serum
- moisturizer
- sunscreen
In the evenings, I use:
- gentle cleanser
- glycolic acid exfoliant
- skin-soothing serum
- rich moisturizer
On days I wear makeup, I double cleanse.
In the daytime, when I’m more likely to experience oiliness in my T-zone, I prefer a lightweight moisturizer. However, I don’t want to sacrifice hydration since it’s crucial for all skin types, including combination, oily, and acne-prone skin. Could the Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel offer a compromise?
- Size: 1.7 ounces
- Main ingredients: sodium hyaluronate, glycerin, dimethicone
- Type of skin it’s best for: oily skin
Neutrogena is a brand that is occasionally recommended by dermatologists. They’re known for their affordable soaps and facial washes. The company started out with a single soap product but has grown to sell a wide variety of cosmetics.
Though the brand is mainly associated with skin care products, their offerings also include makeup, hair care, and sun protection products.
With affordable prices, Neutrogena aims to marry quality with value by providing products trusted by medical professionals.
I have one previous experience with an oil-free gel moisturizer, and I wasn’t impressed. The formula didn’t leave my skin feeling moisturized enough since it was so lightweight. However, I was determined to try this product due to its glowing reviews and promising claims.
(Dermatologists recommend doing a patch test on the inner forearm, because if you do develop a rash, it’s not on your face or neck.)
