Q: What is the difference between thisi product and the water gel?

submitted by Patricia - 3 years ago
  • A: That's a great question, Patricia! Our NEW Neutrogena® Hydro Boost Water Cream is a rich, velvety cream that transforms to a lightweight, water-like feel upon application. It was designed to deliver more intense and longer-lasting hydration than our previous formulas with clinically proven 72-hour hydration, and is also gentle enough to use on all skin types including the most sensitive like eczema and rosacea. Our original Neutrogena® Hydro Boost Water Gel is ideal for normal and oily skin types. If you are looking for hydration that is clinically-proven to be gentle on dry, sensitive and acne-prone skin or for certain skin conditions, please try the NEW Neutrogena® Hydro Boost Water Cream or the NEW Neutrogena® Hydro Boost Water Gel Fragrance Free formulas.

  • A: I purchased the gel cream by mistake after using the gel version fir many years. The cream makes have instant, spectacular, and long lasting acne breakouts. Same for my son. JFYI...

    submitted byResting Itch Face - 8 months ago
  • A: The water gel is for normal to oily skin and provides less hydration. The water cream is for normal to dry skin and provides much more hydration. Nice, dewy finish. Not tacky at all.

    Not safe for sensitive skin

    Definitely not for sensitive skin- my skin was burning seconds after applying. I had to immediately wash the product off.

    I have used a product from Kiehls for years. It is about three times more. I tried a sample of this and it is VERY similar. This is gentle enough for my 10 year old daughter to use. No fragrance and good to wear across seasons. Leaves my skin hydrated without heavy residue.

    Great product

    I was kind of skeptical about this product but ended up loving it. I recently got on a new acne treatment so I needed face lotion that was oil free and I was severely peeling due to my new treatment. This product worked within a couple days of using it 2-3 times a day. At first it did burn to apply but I think that was just due to how dry I was. Product goes on so smooth and feels refreshing, no smell, and does not leave an oily feel on face.

    Didn't deliver.

    Didn't deliver on its promises. My face actually felt drier and started to itch. It's no more moisturizing than any regular product and did not last. I had to double up to feel like it was doing something. And the container is small. I feel duped.

    Oily, Dehydrated Skin

    I have been searching for a decent moisturizer for my oily, acne prone, dehydrated skin for so long that I had to write a review for this cream. I tried several different moisturizers across different brands, price points, etc. and for the life of me could not find anything that was both light enough to not to break me out yet “heavy” enough to actually moisturize my super dehydrated skin. This cream finally does just that for me. In the container it look like a thicker cream but as soon as you actually put it on your skin it immediately feels and spreads like a gel cream. A single jar also lasts me longer than other moisturizers I have tried where it felt like I finished them and had to repurchase after a week. Definitely recommend giving this a try!

    I love the Hydro Boost water gel MOISTURIZER but UNFORTUNATELY, this version, “water cream”, leaves my skin feeling gross and sticky. I wish i hadn’t bought it!

    very hydrating

    I used it on my hands. I'm constantly washing my hands all day. They became extremely dry and cracked; they hurt like crazy. I started using the hydroboost cream on my hands throughout the day and within 3 days, my hands wre back to normal. Other lotions that I tried, didnt do as good of a job. I know this is supposed to be for face and neck, but I will be using it for my hands as long as its on the market.
