My go-to SPF
I use this year round. I like hyaluronic ingredients, it absorbs quickly, is non-comedagenic and best of all for me, it does not irritate my eyes.

Greasy
This can be very oily especially on my face. I really only used if I planned on swimming but on the go on a sunny day I opt for something that is less greasy.

Waste of money
Love the company, hate this product! I certainly was not expecting the product to have a liquid consistency as it's packaged in a jar and immediately upon opening it i lost almost half because it spilled out. Calling it a gel is stretch. Also left my skin feeling greasy and sticky for almost 48hrs, even after washing. Product has a nice light scent but will not be using it again.

Overall good
it’s a truly refreshing combo of hydration + sun protection in one scoop. The gel texture absorbs instantly, feels light and clean, and doesn’t leave any greasy or white cast behind. It layers beautifully under makeup and keeps skin soft throughout the day.

I wanted to love it so much, but i didn't
i bought this product back in november 2024 for a trip to cayman islands. i used to use the hydro boost night serum every night for years, so i thought this would be perfect to use all day with spf. unfortunately, after using this product for one day, i broke out all over my face and i do not have acne prone skin generally. i was so upset, so i thought i would give it another try and blame the breakout on travel, stress and swimming in the ocean. unfortunately, i had the same result the second and third time. i really wanted to like this product because neutrogena is typically has incredible products. i was so disappointed :(

Great sun protection
The neutrogena hydro boost is good! Keeps my face fresh but also protected from the sun. Not really a scent to it and the texture is smooth. Great ingredients and appealing packaging.

Hydration for whole day
Neutrogena hydro boost is my favorite line in this brand. For my dry skin type it’s perfect remedy, hydrating my skin greatly and keeping it hydrated for whole day. Nice texture of cream so silky smooth. Nice light scented cream.

This used to work great for me but just recently bought a new container and it made me break out in tiny whiteheads all over my face. Will not repurchase ever again. Don't know if formula changed or if my body changed but do not recommend. Also why is there RED 40 in it . bro i'm not putting that on my face be serious

Loving this Moisturizer!
I am personally really enjoying this moisturizer by Neutrogena. It’s made my skin feel so soft and I use it whenever I wash my face. I love that it has spf to protect you from the sun while staying moisturized. I have dry skin so it definitely helps me a lot with that. It’s a light cream that feels almost like water as you apply it and has no greasy feel at all. Overall I love this moisturizer and would definitely by it again.
