HYDRO BOOST Water Gel Reviews

I'm a big fan of gel based products, and I know I have to give this product a go when it was launched. It took a while as I struggle to finish (some) of my other products.

First look, I love the lovely blue color of the gel, looks really refreshing. To be honest, I don't really like the smell of the product; artificially bubble gummy sweetness, reminds me of some Gatorade beverage. Fortunately, that's when it's all in a jar, once you applied onto your face, it becomes negligible.

The water gel spread on easily, and leaves a dewy finish on the face; does not dry out. Face feels hydrated and comfortable. Sunscreen goes on it easily too. Neutrogena promises the product "goes beyond just skin surface level to deliver intensive and long-lasting hydration from within", and uses trehalose for "added hydration lock". The water gel is dermatologically testedto be oil-free, hypoallergenic & non-comedogenic.

Priced at < $20 (@ Chemist Warehouse) for 50g, this product is a steal for anyone looking for an affordable hydrating gel based moisturizer for daily use. I am just about to finish my 1st jar, so I can't affirm "skin translucency, firmness, smoothness & plumpness for a natural healthy glow that lasts" just yet.

It also comes in a Night Concentrate version. Yes, it could be a little too light for night use, I'd suggest pairing it with a separate hydrating serum, i.e. Neutrogena Hydro Boost Serum Anti-Oxidant Capsules. But if it's good enough for you, I don't see why not.

This stuff is the bomb. After reading about this product being perfect as a skin glowing primer before application, I had to give it a go for myself and I cannot stop raving about it. It is really easy, smooth application, has never irriated my skin and it is smooth and glowy, leaving my skin so soft and hydrated. It looks so much more healthy and has revived by dull skin. This has a cult states for a reason. The only slight downside is I find you go through a jar quite quickly, but it is worth it for the results.

This is by far my best moisturiser hands down !! I've tried sooo many moisturisers but they just made my skin feel more dry and tight over time so when I came upon this, I was beyond thrilled !! I don't drink as much water as I should so my skin can get quite dehydrated especially over winter so when I apply a small amount of this stuff on , I can tell the difference almost immediately as it absorbs quickly into the skin leavening it smoother, softer and super hydrated . I love that it also doesn't leave your face looking too shiny like you've just applied sunscreen which I found with some creme based moisturisers.

I love my hydroboost watergel! Always leaves my skin feeling refreshed and hydrated, I use it under my makeup to crest a smooth base. The smell is slightly frangrance free yet has a hint of freshness/water like smell to it. The way the watergel sits in my skin feels absolutely lovely. I have combination/oily skin type and this moisturiser works wonders for me. I love it!

Firstly I love the packaging of this product. This moisturiser is housed in a beautiful blue colour glass jar that looks chic. The moisturiser is a cool, pale-blue gel and feels like liquid to the touch. I did not enjoy the scent of this moisturiser as it has an aquatic scent to it and is highly fragranced, which is a bummer for me as I am not a huge fan of artificial fragrances in skincare products especially if they are too strong and linger around. I feel like there is no need for such strong artificial fragrances in skincare. Hence I think those sensitive to scents will just not like it.

Effects of this moisturiser on my dry skin: On application it instantly disappears into the skin and feels dry to the touch, leaving me wondering if I’ve even applied the product. Hence I end up using more quantity than I generally would. It surely gives a cooling effect going on and leaves my skin soft and smooth (thanks to the silicones), while dries down to a matte finish which I am not a huge fan of either. Honestly, I like moisturisers that give my dry skin that healthy-looking plumped effect. I tried this moisturiser in the warmer months, when my skin is not extra-dry, but even after slathering a good quantity of this on my face it did not provide sufficient hydration to my dry skin which was very disappointing.

Overall except packaging nothing really impressed me about this product and honestly the deal breaker for me was the strong artificial scent. As this product was neither hydrating for my dry skin, it’s surely a miss for me and I feel like there are better hyaluronic acid based moisturisers available in the market at this price point.

I was looking for a moisturiser that wasn't to greasy or heavy for day wear that i could also wear under makeup and primer. I had tried many but found them too thick or oily and made my foundation and skin look shiny. I had seen the ad for this many times and though I'd give it a try wihout expecting too much.

What I found was a great, lightweight moisturise that keeps my skin hydrated throughout the day but doesnt make it look greasy! it pretty much soaks in straight away and works great under primer and foundation!

I got this free at Coles once as a free with purchase and have been using it ever since. I seriously love the gel texture and it started my love affair with gel products. The colour makes it feel clean and it sinks straight in. I can apply this under make up, after nightly shower, during the day, as a mask and I always feel hydrated and never too heavy.

This range is really great and I love to put this on and then one of their single use masks over the top. It is great smelling and really affordable. It doesn’t hurt my eyes if I ever get it in them and it also it’s ouky so doesn’t affect my lash extensions.

A really wonderful product I’ll use for as long as it’s available

Neutrogena you did it!!.It is an amazing light weight moisturiser (kinda drink for skin).
After applying this the skin feels so hydrated and bounces back.
Love it.
I have combination skin so it is an ideal product neither too heavy nor too light.
i use it daily and would definitely repurchase it
Overall, it is an amazing product and I would highly recommend to those with oily to combination skin, as it moisturises skin giving hydration without increasing the oiliness of my skin, like other moisturisers.

This moisturiser is extremely light weight and absorbs very quickly into the skin, making it idea for putting on before makeup. With my combination skin, I found this product to not provide enough moister to my skin and I would have to put it on twice so that my skin did not feel dry.

It was nice to use, had a nice scent and was enjoyable overall. I would prefer to spend a little more money and get a more concentrated product as I went through this very quickly.
