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.

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

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: 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 - 9 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 - 9 months ago

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 - 11 months ago

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

    Face care

    Box looks small as is....open the box and bunch of cardboard to make it look like there is more, then to top it off the container itself is curved so there is a dap of product in the container. Very deceiving.

    Lightweight Hydration My Skin Loves

    I’ve been using Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel and really enjoy it. I’m 46 and hydration is very important to me, but I don’t like heavy creams that leave my skin feeling greasy. This gel feels incredibly light and refreshing, absorbs quickly, and leaves my skin feeling soft, smooth and hydrated. I especially love the gel texture. It feels fresh on my skin and works beautifully as part of my everyday skincare routine. My skin feels comfortable and moisturized without a heavy or sticky feeling. I’ve had a very positive experience with this product and will continue using it. Neutrogena Hydro Boost has definitely earned a place in my skincare routine.

    A staple in my skincare routine

    I absolutely love this moisturizer, and my dermatologist approved of it too! I’ve used it for years. I originally started using it to help with dryness on my face and have continued using it every morning and night. The gel feels cool and refreshing when applied, moisturizes my skin well, and doesn’t have an overwhelming scent. I also really like the jar it comes in and how easy it is to use. It has become a staple in my skincare routine and does exactly what I want a moisturizer to do!

    39 skin needed more!

    I’m getting older my skin needed more moisture, even though I have oily skin. My skin felt dry. I still use my Estée Lauder serum and eye gel and this changed my skin. It feels soft and moisturized healthier. I wasted a decade using crappy moisturizer. I wish I started using this sooner!! Worth every penny

    IT IS WONDERFUL! HELPS THE SKIN WITH HYDRATION!

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This water gel helps hydrate the skin and it makes the skin feel very well. The consistency of this product is a cream like a water cream, and you don’t have to reapply it often for it to give you great results!

    Made my skin feel harsh and there’s other much cheaper SIMPLER brands that worked way better. Just take another minute or two to look around.

    A Total Game Changer for Oily Skin!

    I’ve tried so many moisturizers over the years, and the Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel has easily become one of my favorites. It feels incredibly lightweight, absorbs quickly, and gives my skin the hydration it needs without leaving it greasy or heavy. If you have oily skin and struggle to find a moisturizer that hydrates without adding excess oil, I definitely recommend giving this one a try. It’s earned a permanent spot in my skincare routine!

    Amazing! Love it :)

    I genuinely do not have a simple bad thing to say about this product. I have tried so many different moisturizers, and this one is by far my favorite. It makes my skin soo hydrated and the most important thing is that my makeup goes on legit perfect. You can’t even tell I’m wearing face makeup, it’s crazy honestly. I love it so bad. It absorbs so fast, and my skin adores the gel consistency. I love this product and I will continue to buy it over and over again!
