I have purchased this Neutrogena Hydro Boost Moisturizer several times because it is consistently one of the most effective and refreshing gel creams I’ve used. The texture is lightweight and absorbs quickly, yet it provides a deep level of hydration that lasts throughout the day. Every time I apply it, my skin feels cool, refreshed, and instantly moisturized without any heaviness or greasy finish. What makes this particular set even better is the addition of the Hydro Boost Hydrating Gel Cleanser. It effectively removes makeup, sunscreen, and daily impurities while still being gentle on the skin. I appreciate that it doesn’t strip the skin’s moisture barrier—my face feels clean, soft, and balanced after each wash. Together, both products create a simple but highly effective routine: • Cleanse, without dryness • Hydrate, with long-lasting moisture • Achieve a smooth, healthy-looking glow I have normal to oily skin, and this moisturizer performs beautifully—it controls dryness, keeps my skin soft, and layers well under makeup or sunscreen. The formula with hyaluronic acid is reliable, non-irritating, and perfect for anyone who wants hydration without heaviness. I highly recommend this duo. It’s a great value, works exactly as promised, and has become one of those products I keep coming back to because of how good my skin looks and feels. Read more
Life changing. I've always had such a hard time with moisturizers because they leave me so cakey and sticky, its uncomfortable and honestly might as well not even use it. But this stuff is AMAZING. Not cakey or thick AT ALL and just goes right into the skin, dries fast. I've gotten way more compliments on my skin specifically since using it. Read more
This stuff is magic. Very easy to use, just apply fresh after you have cleaned your face (do not use this on an unclean face, you will be smearing any oil and bacteria around on your face and just making things worse). Temper your expectations. This does not just magically work after one application. However, after steady use for maybe a week, you will notice your skin no longer dries out, your skin is not as oily by the end of the day. This is the active ingredient doing its magic, it is a vessel to draw more moisture into your skin, which in turn will stop it from immediately drying and flaking, and also will discourage your skin from producing as much oil by preventing its panicked "OH NO I HAVE NO OIL AND AM DRYING OUT FAST" response to being freshly cleaned, which is to then flood your skin with oil leading to that unpleasant oily feel and then later breakouts due to your pores clogging with said oil. Fragrance is rather mild and neutral, would ideally prefer a fragrance free version, but they don't seem to make a SKU of this that is intended for oily skin AND fragrance free (or at least it isn't carried on Amazon).

I’ve been using Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel, and I’m really impressed! It blends seamlessly into my skin without feeling heavy or sticky. It works wonderfully with my other skincare products, providing lasting hydration and leaving my skin feeling soft and refreshed all day. Definitely a staple in my routine! Read more
Used it for the first time today. Left my face a matte feeling. Which is good since I’m usually really oily. My face definitely feels hydrated. I would say it’s lightweight. Read more
Amazing product! Keeps my face moisturized and not greasy or leaves a white undertone. Read more
Lightweight! I have very oily skin and this moisturizer is perfect. Read more
I am a combo to oily skin girl. I do a medium beat about 5 days a week and this is a new FAVORITE under makeup or on its own. Morning routine includes micelar water, splash of cold water, vital c serum, anua azeliac, banana bright eye cream, THIS, then image skincare matte spf. Love how lightweight it is and a little goes a long way. I actually just "dip" my finger into the jar and that is enough product. Scent is light, texture is insane. This is my first time using a gel texture moisterizer and am so impressed by the results for the price point. Works so well. Get it. Read more
