Q: The heading says for Dry Skin but the product says normal to oily skin. Which is it?

submitted by Krystal - 2 years ago

  • A: Someone told me years ago, gel moisturizers are mainly best for oily/combo skin. I just bought it to try because I’m menopausal but still have an oily T-Zone.

    submitted byTreeK - 2 years ago

  • A: Thank you for reaching out! This product is ideal for normal, oily and combination skin types. Neutrogena® Hydro Boost Water Cream on the other hand is ideal for dry, sensitive, and acne-prone skin. You may visit Neutrogena.com website for more details.

Q: Hello, this gel/cream have fragrance?

submitted by Lili - 8 years ago

  • A: Smells like sweet candy and was too strong. It does go away after a while, but would be better without it.

    submitted byCustomer - 6 years ago

  • A: Hey Lili! Our Hydro Boost Water Gel does have a fragrance, while the Hydro Boost Gel-Cream for Extra-Dry Skin does not. Let us know if you have any other questions!

    submitted byKenvue - 8 years ago
    Brand expert

  • A: It has a very, very light fragrance. It’s barely noticeable after you massage it in to your skin.

    submitted byTotally unsatisfied - 8 years ago

Q: Can you tell me why this needs to have blue dye in it? What exactly does that do for your skin? I think that's a horrible ingredient when you've taken the time to remove parabens. I returned mine.

submitted by Anna M - 8 years ago

  • A: I agree blue dye is not needed and fragrance is not needed.

    submitted byCustomer - 6 years ago

Q: I have mixed sensitive skin can I use this. Mixed being part oily part dry

submitted by EO - 6 years ago

Q: does this product contain spf? i don’t see it anywhere in the information section but there are reviews that mention there is spf in the product.

submitted by abby - 10 months ago

  • A: This product is just a hydrating gel moisturizer, so you’ll need a separate sunscreen if you want sun protection during the day.

Q: Is this safe for your face

submitted by J - 10 months ago

  • A: Yes — it’s generally safe for your face, especially if you have normal to oily skin, but as with any skincare product, watch how your skin responds and stop use if you notice irritation.

Q: Is there any sort of seal on this product, either on the box or under the cap itself? I noticed another slightly different version for normal to dry skin (which looks almost identical) had one.

submitted by MarkyMark - 11 months ago

  • A: Hi, this product does not have a tamper-resistant seal as this is only required for OTC human drug products (except dermatologics, dentifrices, insulin, and throat lozenges), cosmetic liquid oral hygiene products and vaginal products, and contact lens solutions and tablets used to make these solutions; therefore, we don’t include them on other types of products.

Q: So about how long does the product last if used daily? I'm considering buying but 10$ for the jar displayed seems off due to the size.

submitted by - 1 year ago

  • A: Hi, it depends how much you use daily.

    definitely a great value for the money 💵

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really love ❤️ Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel . It comes in a sleek sturdy blue jar that looks great on my shelf and feels very practical. Gel itself has a super lightweight, transparent blue appearance that absorbs into the skin almost instantly without feeling heavy. It completely relieves any feelings of tightness after washing my face and leaves my skin plump and hydrated.

    Love the bottle packaging and water gel texture not a fan with the scent as a sensitive nose girlie

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These Hydro boost hyaluronic acid water gel from Neutrogena. It was so lightweight feeling! The packaging is so beautiful translucent ocean blue bottle. The water gel texture is so jelly glide so smoothly on my skin. It makes my skin hydrated and extra smooth. It’s easy absorption. It has a sent, to be honest not fan with the scent as a sensitive nose girlie but I love the water jelly texture smoothly glide to my skin.

    Stopped flakes but has harmful ingredients

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A little definelty goes a long way with this product. My skin definitely seamed more hydrated and did not have peeling or flakes. Unfortunately, I did not notice a huge difference in terms of softness. I will say that it did apear to blur my pores a little bit and make them less noticeable which I loved. My biggest disappointment is the ingredients. It has phenoxyethanol which is an endocrine disruptor and c13-14 isoparaffin which is a potential carcinogen. I would probably keep using this product if it had some cleaner ingredients.

    It does as advertised!

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this product! It smells and feels fresh! It’s very moisturizing and absorbs into the skin well. I do recommend sealing it in with an oil-based moisturizer to lock in the hydration. I highly recommend!

    THIS IS A NICE MOISTURIZER

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a very nice and soothing moisturizer. It’s not super heavy, but it still manages to keep my skin soft and refreshed. It’s very slightly on the more expensive side.

    regular drugstore moisturizer

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It was quick to absorb into my skin & the dry down was nice since there was no weird sticky feeling. It is lightly scented & the does linger but it’s not over powering. Honestly it’s just kind of like any drugstore moisturizer.

    Soothing gel moisturizer

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve received this product in exchange for my honest opinion. The container is simple, just like most of the neutrogina’s products. When opening the container, you will see sky blue colored gel. The gel has noticeable floral scent, which is not unpleasant , but also if you are sensitive to scented products, you will definitely notice and might be a con. I did not mind. When applying to skin, it has cooling effect. This gel moisturizer is extremely smooth. It gives shine and moisture first when applied, then soak in to the skin immediately. After the gel dries out, the skin is smooth and refreshed. The scent ringers a bit. For now, I do not notice any irritation or breakout. I am overall satisfied with how this moisturizer does not leave cast, applied smoothly, and have a refreshing feel.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really love that this is water-based so it works very well with my sensitive skin and doesn’t break me out at all. It’s very affordable and it’s a pretty big jar for how cheap it is. It’s so hydrating. It really keeps my skin looking hydrated and plump throughout the whole day. I love to pair it with the other Hydro Boost products!
