A: No - the instructions say, "Use a water resistant sunscreen if swimming or sweating." If it were water resistant, it would say to reapply after swimming/sweating.

A: That’s doubtful. If you’re going to the pool or something, I would add an occlusive layer like Vaseline or some similar cream/oil based product to help the moisture stay in. This is a water based product, it’s water soluble.

Q: This product makes me sweat excessively all over my face. It stops eventually after application, but I don't know what or why. Does that mean it is too oclusive for me, or am I using too much?

The New Formula is Terrible!
I’ve been using this Neutrogena Hydro Boost Hyaluronic acid spf moisturizer for YEARS! This was a holy grail product for me. I loved the spf and the way it made my skin texture so smooth. Over the last month, they’ve changed the packaging and, with that, the formula. I believe they lowered the amount of hyaluronic acid in it due to people complaining about burning eyes. Yes my eyes burned (not everyday) as well however I started using Alway eye drops which resolved the issue. Since the formula change, this product in my opinion has become a glorified sunscreen now. I am so disappointed and will be searching for a replacement SPF/Hyaluronic Acid Moisturizer.

Good moisturizer but causes eyes to sting
I really wanted to like this, it performed as advertised as a moisturizer and is reasonably priced. But for some reason my eyes start burning about an hour after application, even though I’m not applying it near my eyes.

Why a bottle and not a tube?
A bottle, not a tube you can toss in your bag for reapplying. So now what can I do? Love this stuff. Uesless in a bottle, I am not carrying a leaky bottle in my bag for reapplying. This is a SUNSCREEN not a use-it-in-the-bathroom-gel. Why do you take a great product and then do stupid stuff and call it NEW? What is new is a heavy bottle. SOOO upset!!! Maybe CERA VE

Nutrogena Hydro Boost is my daily sunscreen choice because it has hyaluronic acid, goes on smooth, creates a glass skin shine, and most importantly protects me from the UVA (aging) rays and UVB (burning) rays of the sun.

One of the best tools to stay looking younger long
Hyaluronic acid is essential to all skin care routines no matter your age. It absorbs into the skin and can take years off when used consistently over time. Goes on smooth and dries with no sticky residue. Protects against those pesky fine li es and wrinkles.

Burning eyes
Every time i use this my eyes start burning 4-8 hours after application even though i avoid putting it near my eyes. It also makes my face feel grimy. I love their water boost cream but this is the worst product ive ever used on my face. Will not buy again.

A fast-absorbing, hydrating moisturizer with salic
has a lightweight, gel-cream texture that absorbs quickly and helps smooth skin while providing hydration. The salicylic acid aids gentle exfoliation and helps keep pores clear, making it suitable for normal to oily or acne-prone skin. It smells good and gives you that shiny finishing

Clear skin
The product delivers great performance while maintaining a lightweight, comfortable feeling on the skin. It helps minimize breakouts and improves overall appearance. The level of comfort it provides makes it easy to use every day.

Good
I love two in one products because I like my routine simple. I love this has spf of 50. It does help moisturize my face thanks to the hyaluronic acid. However, it makes my face a little too shiny so for me this is good for when I don’t wear makeup.

Great option if you’re looking for hydration, sun
I really like the Neutrogena Hydro Boost Hyaluronic Acid Moisturizer SPF 50. It feels very lightweight on the skin, absorbs quickly, and doesn’t leave a greasy or heavy feeling. My skin feels hydrated, fresh, and smooth after applying it.

Great moisturizer with spf!
I love this moisturizer. It keeps me hydrated, saves me a step by having spf and doesn’t irritate my acne prone skin. I’ve been using it for years.
