Guests are saying
The Neutrogena Hydro Boost Exfoliating Cleanser is a gentle yet effective product that combines hydration with mild exfoliation. Guests appreciate its refreshing gel texture, pleasant scent, and the way it leaves skin feeling clean and soft. Many find it suitable for daily use, especially for those with normal to oily skin. However, some guests note that it may not provide enough hydration for very dry or sensitive skin types, so it's best to follow up with a moisturizer.

6 Stars!
I love this face wash. Now that I have hit my 40's my skin has dried up like sandpaper. I struggled to find a product that wouldn't clog pores or feel oily while still trying to keep my skin hydrated. I am not a mom who can afford big ticket personal care. I am in love with this product. It has a mild clean scent that I enjoy which is impressive as I am picky about that. It makes my face feel clean and soft and I don't get irritation or clogged pores. I have a history of skin irritation from some products so I would consider it sensitive skin friendly. I love it so much I also bought the night cream in this lline which is equally amazing! Treat yourself and give it a try!

Gentle exfoliating cleanser for everyday use
I have combination and acne prone skin.I had always been a fan of the hydro boost gel cleanser and wanted to give this a try. I love this product as well. It thoroughly cleanses and does not leave any residue. The microbeads are great for gently exfoliating and has not irritated my skin. I have not had any break outs or other discomfort so far. I will definetly be using this product again. Value for money.

Great for oily skin 💧✨
I’ve been using this cleanser since high school and I love it! It barely has a scent and lathers so well on the skin. I would say only use this once either in the morning or night. I have oily skin so I use it twice a day but it can dry out your skin. I do see results though and love using this daily. It’s great for breakouts as well. 💧✨

My Face feels so soft, and clean!
I love the texture of the foaming cleanser on my face, and skin. I use it every morning, not just on occasion. It stores for a good while, till gone!

Great Physical Exfoliant
I have tried Neutrogena Hydro Boost Exfoliating Cleanser in the past and it was nice. I’m not big of physical exfoliants, but this one is pretty good. The tiny micro beads help to slough away dead skin cells softly without too much rubbing. I never experienced any dryness, irritation, or flaking from use of this product. After use your skin feels soft, hydrated, and smooth. I would definitely recommend this product for anyone who doesn’t mind a physical exfoliants.

Exfoliating and gentle
I use this a couple times a week as a light exfoliater inbetween the Hydroboost gel cleanser. It's very gentle, moisturizing, gets my makeup off and has a light, refreshing scent. It lathers well and a little goes a long way.

If you haven’t tried this yet, you should!
This is a great product that delivers results! Work it into a lather and apply to dampened skin. You may feel a little bit of tightness but that is just results you are feeling and it isn’t overwhelming. I highly recommend.

If I could give 0 stars I would. After 1 use (this was the only part of my routine that changed) I ended up in the hospital with a chemical burn. The scent was very chemical like. Do not buy this product.

Nice for combination skin
It’s perfect for my morning routine. It comes out very nice and easy. I haven’t had any breakouts using this product. The scent is light not overwhelming. Super easy to rinse off.

Daily exfoliant that feels great
I love this cleansing gel, it has a natural smell and it leave my face feeling fresh and tight. And I always top it off with the moisturizer. This line works incredibly at keeping your skin hydrated

Fresh, smooth skin with no breakouts for me - just
I’ve been using the Neutrogena Hydro Boost Exfoliating Cleanser and it leaves my skin feeling really fresh, clean and smooth. The gel texture feels light and the hyaluronic acid helps it feel more hydrated compared to some other cleansers. I didn’t notice any new breakouts while using it, and my skin felt soft after rinsing. That said, because it has gentle exfoliating bits, I wouldn’t personally use it every single day on sensitive days as it can feel slightly drying/tight if overused. Overall a great affordable cleanser for a clean glow!

Will buy again!
I am not crazy about exfoliating products for my face because they tend to make my face break out. I will have to say that this product was wonderful. I had no breakouts and it made it feel so smooth afterwards.
