    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like this face cream. It goes great over my face serum and absorbs well. I feel it keeps my skin protected from the harsh outdoor toxins and weather. It leaves my skin feeling fresh, soft, and moisturized. It doesn't clog my pores or feel heavy, very lightweight.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product is very light weight and hydrating. I love that it soaks into my skin easily and doesn't leave any oily or greasy feeling. My skin looks very glowy and hydrated after using it. I love that it includes SPF in it already, so its easy to put on in the morning and go.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m fan of the regular Neutrogena hydro boost moisturizer, but the new version became my favorite now. It’s the same texture (which is why I love this moisturizer so much) plus the benefits of the SPF, everything in one product. Now I don’t have to worry about wearing sunscreen plus my moisturizer. I love how Neutrogena keeps improving its products!

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Since receiving this moisturizer from HomeTester, I’ve been using it daily and I’ve been loving it. The texture is super nice and light and my face feels and looks moisturized after using it. The only thing I could see people not loving about this product is the smell. It definitely has a lot of fragrance in it which I don’t mind, but someone with sensitive skin or a sensitive nose might dislike. It’s a very fresh scent. I do think this has made my skin look nicer as I’ve been using it and will continue to use.

    originally posted on Home Tester Club
    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been wanting to try this moisturizer for a while now. It is a great gel texture that absorbs quickly into the skin. There is a slight scent but it isn’t overwhelming. I think I’m the summer this would be a great moisturizer. Unfortunately it is December/ January in northern Idaho where I live and it is very cold and dry. My skin is extra dry from the cold weather and this moisturizer wasn’t quite as hydrating as I needed. I think it will work great for about 8 months out of the year. I can’t wait to use this in the spring and summer it will be perfect.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product for free in exchange for my honest review. This lotion was in a cute aesthetically pleasing bottle, but I wish it had a way to have a pump dispenser. I always worry about contaminating the rest of the lotion when I get some out. I already loved the original formal, and now it has sunscreen and is noncomedogenic. I overall loved this product. Thank you for the opportunity to try it!

    Lightweight and Sun Protecting

    5 out of 5 stars
    Maple4 - 10 days ago
    originally posted on Home Tester Club
    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My skin gets extremely dry in the winter so I was a bit skeptical when I felt how lightweight the Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel Sunscreen is, but it’s extremely moisturizing! On days that I don’t want to go through my full morning routine, I reach for this water gel for combined moisturizer and sun protection (so much so that it’s nearly empty). This gel is slightly fragranced with Neutrogena’s signature scent, lightly mixed either the smell of sunscreen, but I don’t find that I can smell the product after application. This lightweight moisturizer and sunscreen duo is great for lazy days or just combining products in my routine. I will say, since this gel is SPF 25, I use a different moisturizer at night. I really love this product and I will definitely be repurchasing it!

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the CityShield SPF Moisturizer for free in exchange for my honest opinion. And I was a big fan! A little went a very long way on freshly washed skin, and the product absorbed quickly and easily. It didn't leave behind any sort of tacky feeling, nor could I 'feel' the moisturizer sitting on my skin. The moisturizer had the faintest hint of that sunscreen smell, but in a good way. After spending my days in city air, I understood the 'cityshield' part of the name - I didn't feel all of the air pollution sitting in my pores like I normally will when I get home from work. I had already been using a different hydroboost moisturizer, so the switch was easy, and I will absolutely be finishing out this jar now that my trial period has ended!

    A Perfect Combo: Hydration and SPF!

    ReviewwithKy1 - 10 days ago
    originally posted on Home Tester Club
    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received a container of Neutrogena Hydro Boost City Shield Water Gel Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 25 at no cost as part of a Home Tester Club program. I am a big fan of Neutrogena’s Hydro Boost line. I have been previously using their Hydro Boost Gel Cream and was excited to try the Water Gel instead. The water gel has a cooling feeling when applying it to my face. It does not burn when applied to dry spots — something that I find happens with other brands. It also works wonders on dry spots and hydrated my skin even in the winter time. I also love that this product has SPF. The Gel Cream I use does not, so I only apply it at night. Because of the SPF in this Water Cream, I am able to use it in the morning for sun protection. I want to mention also that my skin is a bit sensitive. This Water Gel does not irritate my skin or cause breakouts.

    No white cast and easy to blend in

    3 out of 5 stars
    Janepan7 - 10 days ago
    originally posted on Home Tester Club
    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The smell has a slight lingering sunscreen scent, the texture is gel-like just as described in the title, and doesn't feel heavy or sticky on the skin. it blends into skin easily and the scent isn't too overpowering for me but still has a noticeable scent . I feel like the packaging being a tub makes it harder to apply and isn't as sanitary in comparison to a stick or a squeeze tube. Application and being travel friendly would be more convenient due to more compact packaging. I didn't feel a difference in my skin texture after using it and I also couldn't really test how accurate the SPF would work since it's been gloomy and quite overcast where I live during the winter months.

    Great light SPF moisturizer

    4 out of 5 stars
    Sammich7 - 10 days ago
    originally posted on Home Tester Club
    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you want a light SPF moisturizer, this is for you. It doesn't give you the best SPF, but it does its job for the winter, especially if I'm going out after work when it's dark out. However, minus one star for how liquidy this is. It is rather watery so it doesn't give as much of the moisturizing factor. I personally like a bit thicker moisturizer/SPF.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Neutrogena gel is super lightweight and perfect for daily use. It keeps your skin hydrated with hyaluronic acid and offers SPF 25 for sun protection—though it’s more suited for days when you’re not spending too much time outdoors. It absorbs quickly, doesn’t leave your skin greasy, and works great if you have combination or oily skin. Plus, it’s designed to protect against pollution, making it ideal for city life.
