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.

Refreshing, Clean Boost
I’ve been using the Neutrogena Hydro Boost Exfoliating Cleanser, and I’m honestly so impressed. The scent is clean, light, and fresh. The texture is a smooth gel with gentle exfoliating beads, so it never feels harsh. It glides on comfortably, foams lightly, and rinses off without leaving any tightness or residue. Instead, my skin feels super clean, soft, and hydrated, not stripped. As someone with combination skin, this was such a win. It helps keep my T-zone balanced and smooth while still giving enough moisture for the drier areas. After each wash, my face feels refreshed, glowing, and comfortably hydrated.

Great cleanser for gentle physical exfoliation
Great cleanser with gentle exfoliating beads. I tend to use it at night when I need physical exfoliation. Refreshing scent. Leaves face feeling fresh without oily residue and without over-drying.

A gentle daily exfoliating cleanser that cleans we
I really enjoyed using the Neutrogena Hydro Boost Exfoliating Cleanser. The gel-cream texture feels very soft and gentle on the skin, and the exfoliating beads are mild enough for daily use without causing irritation. It rinses off easily and leaves my face feeling clean, smooth, and hydrated rather than tight. I love that it contains hyaluronic acid — it helps keep my skin moisturized even after cleansing. It works well for my combination skin and feels refreshing every time I use it. Overall, it’s a great everyday exfoliating cleanser that gives a clean but comfortable finish!!!!!

Good on sensitive skin
This is pretty good on dry skin. I have sensitive skin, but it doesn’t make it blotchy. It’s good to take for travel instead of my more expensive facial wash. Easy to rinse off.

Soft Beaded Physical Exfoliant
Neutrogena hydroboost gel cream exfoliator works pretty well for a physical exfoliant. I myself prefer an acid based exfoliator, but, if the job needs to be done real quick, this physical exfoliant is a gentle substitute that helps to eliminate dead skin while leaving your skin silky smooth, plump, and hydrated. The gel-cream has a light and fresh seaside sort of scent, that’s not over the top, but it’s there, if you’re not into your skincare products having a scent. This exfoliating beads feel gentle enough that you shouldn’t have to worry about micro tears in your skin and it washes off completely without leaving any lingering residue. Overall, I like it for a physical exfoliant and would definitely use it again, if it were needed!!

An essential
Another neutrogena favorite. I have combination skin and this cleanser fits the bill without it being drying or oily. It leaves my face feeling smooth, hydrated and soft. I don't experience any breakouts, which can be difficult to find in other brands (I can breakout easily). This is an essential product in my skincare routine!
