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

submitted by Krystal - 1 year 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: 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.

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

    FACT: A HEFTY PERSONAS ARE INELIGIBLE FOR HYALOURO

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Fact: a hefty personas are ineligible for hyalURONIC acid. BTW, I AM THANKFUL FOR THE OIL-FREE ACNE WASH. Also, neutrogena is recommended by hair, SKIN, AND NAIL DOCTORS— I AGREE. Some things do not work for everyone. Recently, I submitted a review. THE THANK YOU FOR neutrogena brand.

    Purely, Hyaluronic! Simply, The Best!

    A perfect lotion for daytime or nighttime use, or just refreshing some moisture, layering or prepping for makeup. Hyaluronic acid gives an instant and visible boost to skin firmness, moisture, texture and radiance. This is the best way to get it quickly. PRO TIP: I like to layer this with a smaller molecule hyaluronic acid serum for an extra boost :)

    New Formula Blue and Strong Scent

    I received a sample of this from a different store and loved it, however, this is NOT the same formula. The sample was white, did not have a noticeable scent, and felt light weight on my skin. This is blue, has a VERY strong scent, and feels a bit sticky on my skin. Not a fan at all.

    hydro boosted!

    i don’t often reach for the hydro boost line simply because the products are a little pricey for my everyday skincare needs, but i do love this entire line! i love the pump dispenser on this one because i prefer not to dip my fingers into anything that goes on my face. i also love the gel consistency and the way it feels on the skin; it absorbs beautifully, especially as a base under makeup. i have problematic skin and this line has always provided relief and moisture without being too greasy or heavy. spf products have a tendency to break me out, but i’ve found this one to be a little more safe.

    Weightless, non sticky

    I used this product in the summertime. I love how weightless it feels! It doesn’t feel sticky on my face, and that is important especially in the summer time when it is so hot outside.

    Formula change, very drying and now contains blue dye

    Changed the ingredients and ruined a once great product. Now unnecessarily formulated with fragrance and blue dye.’Caused a dry patch on my chin that was not experienced with the previous version.

    This is a great choice.

    I love this moisturizer! I love the cool fresh feeling when I put it on because of the texture and scent of the gel. I love the smell! I find it to be fresh and enjoyable and honestly quite mild. It does not last anytime at all once it’s on my skin. Someone stated that the fragrance is harmful. That would be very surprising to me since it is so mild. Give it a try.

    Very light weight.

    This sunscreen has genuinely been my favorite part in my skin care routine. It doesn’t feel heavy on my skin and it’s very light weight. I am always on the look out for sunscreen that are light on the skin and doesn’t leave white cast. The packaging is very simple. Love this!

    Worth the value

    The scent is not overwhelming, it smells like spf but doesn’t smell as nasty as spf can be. I think it’s worth the value as the product does its job amazingly! I see no visible residue :)
