Neutrogena Hydro Boost Exfoliator Smoothing Gel, 150 ml (Pack of 1)

Before I started using this product, I was bouncing between different moisturisers. I have never struggled with my skin, but since last September, I started getting closed comedones! I have been trialing so many methods to get rid of them, and some of these have left my skin damaged but also neglected. A trip to an aesthetician told me that I needed more hydration in my routine as my skin was lacking this drastically, so I went ahead and bought one of their expensive creams (Aquaporin). After two months this did not make much difference to my skin in terms of hydration, I even had to buy other hyaluronic acid products to compensate, not to mention as I am rotating between Retinol, AHA/BHA, my skin is starting to get a bit dull and dry. I then decided to buy Neutrogena's gel cream recently and have not been disappointed at all!When picking between the water gel, and gel cream, many people state that ONLY fragrance is the difference. After researching, apparently this is not. The gel cream is more suitable for sensitive skin in need of more moisture as well as hydration, in a way, it is just a bit more heavier than the water gel, but it certainly does not feel heavy when I apply it, you can see from its consistency that it is very gel like and light.PROS:Not only does the product HYDRATE, it also adds MOISTURE. Both are essential in skin, and both are tough to find in one product, which is why I am even more in love with it.The cream is supposed to be thicker than the water gel, but honestly, it does not feel terribly thick on skin, in fact when you massage it in it feels incredibly soft and light.Skin does not feel tight after using, which is a problem with a lot of cheaper brand alternatives.Has not given me more closed comedones or acne, so if you are acne-prone this seems to be nice.No fragrance.Good for sensitive skin.Helps with dry and flaky patches of skin.Skin feels SO soft after using this, it is definitely retaining moisture, and this is working well with reducing comedones.CONSSome may think the price is good, I think it is decent for what you are getting, I have no problem paying this price over and over again, but I can tell this product does come on sale often so might be better to be patient and stock up.Overall: 5/5. Excellent product, I think I have find a moisturiser to use for a VERY long time, again hydration and moisture in one product is amazing! Plus it is incredibly gently on my sensitive, combination skin.

As someone with dry skin, I've tried countless moisturizers, but Neutrogena Hydro Boost Gel-Cream has been a game-changer. This lightweight, oil-free formula absorbs quickly, leaving my skin feeling hydrated and refreshed.The hyaluronic acid and ceramides work together to lock in moisture, preventing dryness and flakiness. The gel-cream texture is perfect for both day and night use, providing long-lasting hydration without feeling greasy.I've noticed a significant improvement in my skin's texture and overall appearance since incorporating this moisturizer into my skincare routine. It's a reliable and effective product that I highly recommend to anyone with dry or dehydrated skin.

Makes my skin feel really nice and looks healthy too.

Very good quality, great for dry skin

Not greasy lovely feel soaks in quickly

This is a nice enough cream - quite soothing - but it's so thin and 'wet' that I'm using tons on each application. It's no more moisturising than any other cream so, on balance, I find it poor value.

Love how this leaves my skin feeling super smooth

I have always used water gel this is the first time using gel cream will try how it work but the product look great and Neutrogena has always been good for my skin no side effect so anything with any of its proud t
