Wouldn’t buy again!
This product is okay, just okay. It lacks a high SPF to be really useful. You have to layer up with a higher number and then it doesn’t layer well the texture does go on easily but like I’ve said, not high enough. No scent which is good! Packaging is easy and minimal, the norm.

Instant hydration with added spf
I absolutely adore this range from neutrogena, the gel instantly absorbs into the skin leaving it feeling hydrated and plumped, I love the fact is has added spf but is lightweight. It is not heavily scented either, but leaves a fresh feel to the face.

Light and effective
I love the feel of this very lightweight moisturizer. And I also appreciate that there is some SPF in it as well. Great for all types of skin but if you’re dry or very dry I’d suggest either a thicker cream or to use this over your regular moisturizer.

Must try
I really like this product. I’m currently out of it and ordered some for prime day but it’s a nice smooth texture. It is effective. It’s not immediate, but you really do notice the results overtime. There’s not a strong scent which I appreciate and easy to travel with.

horrible smell! what happened to fragrance free?
i've been using the fragrance free Hydro boost water gel for many years and i've loved it. i tried to use this version with their "signature fragrance", and it was awful--i had to return it because the smell just stayed and stayed. please bring back the fragrance free version!!!

It is of good efficiency
The ingredients are good, it works very effectively on my eye contour, the bottle is good because it is small since a small amount is used in each application

Burned skin
i loved the texture Of this product and how it went on. It was not tacky, Greasy, or sticky. But within minutes of application, my face became very hot and felt like it was burning. I had to wash it off. (Sorry about the caps.)

Bottle doesn't work.
Bought the Hydro boost moisturizer in a pump bottle. It won't pump! Oh, it pumps but nothing comes out! Tried the paper clip trick but that didn't work.

Lightweight facial serum
Great skincare product, very light weight and not oily at all. The smell is very mild which is lovely. I love that it has sunscreen it in also as I usually forget to put any on my face. The packing is nice and not in an overly sized box.
