Why is the cream blue tinted ? Sure enough there is a blue and a red color additive. It might be the greatest thing ….. but Color additives for no good reasons are a no thanks from me

HORRIBLE Allergic Reaction

az - 5 months ago, Verified purchaser
I used the regular Neutrogena Hydro Boost Gel for years so when I saw a version existed with sunscreen I was stoked to try it. WORST allergic reaction I have ever had! I tried it one day and my face stung a little but I thought maybe it was getting used to a new product. I woke up the next morning with a face so puffy I could barely open my eyes, and it was red and rashy and dry and burned. I’ve always had sensitive skin but never have I ever had an allergic reaction that aggressive. It took like two weeks for my skin to feel ~somewhat~ normal. It flaked forever. Just a huge no. I was so disappointed with this product as I love the original and have never had any reactions with it. Really was hoping the sunscreen one would work. Whatever they put in this that caused such a severe reaction, they need to figure out because I looked it up & many people have had the same experience. Definitely not worth the gamble of an allergic reaction.

I really loved this sunscreen. I liked the gel feature and how cooking it is and it helped me want to wear sunscreen everyday. But sometimes I felt there was a blue cast on my face.

my skin is much more hydrated and spf 25 is plenty for me to walk to work in the morning, but the amount of plastic that is used as a window and support inside in the already totally unnecessary cardboard box is crazy. I'll probably stop buying and look for something less terrible for the planet.

I can't breath with this on and I have no alergies. The perfume level in this is so strong it would make a horse sneeze. Jesus Christ why... I can't bear it. Had to wash it off within 20 minutes of application... Super disappointed. It doesn't even feel that hydrating.
It was almost perfect until it gave me a rash

Nat - 9 months ago, Verified purchaser
I am soooooo sad that this didn’t work for me! I was looking for an spf that was lightweight and non greasy and would sink into the skin. I use the hydrogel so I thought this would be perfect. It worked so well. It did sink into the skin although it took a couple of minutes and it wasn’t the least bit greasy all day. It did have the sunscreen smell to it, but I could overlook that because it felt so great on my skin. But about halfway through the day I looked in the mirror and I had red spots all over my face and neck. I don’t have sensitive skin and I’ve never been allergic to any sort of skincare or sunscreen products. When I washed my face and put moisturizer on after the rash showed up, my face burned. This checked so many of my boxes, but whatever is in this isn’t for me.

Burned my face. I've been dealing with horrible contact dermatitis for the past two months now that the burn has healed thanks to this product. Cannot and do not recommend. Not worth the pain, itching, inability to show my face in public, and dermatology bills.

This SPF moisturizer has been a staple in my skincare for several years now, and I don't think I'll ever replace it. Hydrating enough for my dry areas without making my oil-prone areas too greasy. Never breaks me out either, and I have sensitive skin.
Love the feel

I was really excited to try this because they say the best thing you can do for your skin is to wear a moisturizer with sunscreen in it. Not this one, unfortunately. It broke me out with red bumps on my jaw line and cheekbones. I've heard so many great things about the water gel, so I guess I will try that one instead. Just hate that I spent this much money on the sunscreen and can't use it. Take the fragrance out!!
