Neutrogena® Hydro Boost Micellar Water

I don't really use this to remove makeup because I barely wear makeup but this product has helped my skin out dramatically since these dry winter vibes have come apon us.

I use this after washing my face as a toner at night and I also use this in the morning instead of a face wash.

So your girl is hydrated AF.

Also the few times I have used it to remove makeup, it didn't fail me.

Definitely get your hands on this baby.

I tried everything from the Hydroboost range apart from the face wipes, and considering they'd have probably been soaked in this solution, I'm glad I didn't. They were also pricey for wipes at R100 for a pack!

This is probably the least effective micellar water I've used, as it didn't remove even regular mascara properly, nevermind my waterproof mascara. I was super disappointed, as a hydrating micellar water seemed like a dream come true.

You'd do better to buy the Garnier one (with the pink top), or the Garnier oil infused micellar water, as they both remove stubborn makeup really well, and they are not only cheaper, but you get more product.

I was sent a few of the new Neutogena Hydro Boost products to test out and, boy, have they come in handy! I have been travelling so much in the last few weeks, constant flights between Durban and Johannesburg, and my skin was taking a beating!

I'm sure you've experienced it before, as soon as you start to ascend to a higher altitude (i.e. flying in general or travelling between cities such as Durban and Johannesburg) you start to feel your facial skin tightening and your lips needing a couple extra coats of lip balm. Well, try doing that every week!

My Neutogena Hydro Boost products couldn't have come at a better time!

I was sent three products, their Hydro Boost Cleanser Micellar Water, Hydro Boost Water Gel Cleanser and their Hydro Boost Gel Cream Moisturiser.

Hydro Boost it certainly does!

I was neither overwhelmed nor underwhelmed by the Micellar Water, I was just "whelmed" as Bianca would say in 10 Things I Hate About You. Micellar water is such a hyped about product these days and I have tried a bunch! This one did the job, but I can't really tell a huge difference between this, my Garnier Pure Active (I haven't tried the Oil Infused one yet) and Bioderma Micellar Water. Maybe this is a good thing though? It's equally as good as other leading micellar waters.

Hyaluronic acid is the active ingredient in this range. It's moisture-binding characteristic is exceptionally important when it comes to skin aging. One of the qualities of youthful skin is its ability to hold water and retain a balanced amount of moisture. As we age, our skin loses the ability to maintain this vital, plumping moisture as well as it once did. The result is visible loss of firmness, pliability, and diminished appearance of plumpness and suppleness.

Hyaluronic acid can enhance moisture content beyond comparison with anything else, and at the same time revitalize skin’s outer layers so they look and feel softer, smoother, and, especially, radiantly hydrated! That’s how it instantly improves the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid is quite high up in the ingredient list so that is always a plus, which is especially great for a drugstore product.

You can grab The Neutrogena Hydro Boost range from Dischem, Clicks and Foschini stores and online for the following prices:
Hydro Boost Cleanser Micellar Water 200m? - R99.95 RSP

Extremely effective in removing all make-up , even heavy eye make-up (it does take more product, but t does the job!). Love the sleek packaging, bottle design is ultra cool. The price point is also excellent for this high performing product.

Although it's got a lovely scent ,packaging & generous size,it's not effective enough to remove eye make up esp eyeliner or mascara. It's good enough to remove facial make up but tsked a few attempts.

I am enjoying the micellar water but it’s not good enough on its own as a cleanser. I find I have to use quite a bit and sometimes use it twice over to get my face clean. I do like the softness of the texture and it’s a great added cleanser.

I was using the Garnier Micellar Sensitive before trying this range. It did work better on its own as a cleanser but I feel the Neutrogena Hydro Boost Micellar Water leaves my skin silkier, more hydrated and cleaner with the aid of the rest of the range.

How I’ve used the products:
In the morning I use the cleanser in the shower to clean my skin of dead skin cells. Once out the shower I give my skin an extra cleanse with the micellar water on a cotton pad. I then use a generous amount of the water gel, paying careful attention to my dry spots and lips. Then comes putting on my face as I like to say (not that I use much makeup ;)).

At night I get lazy at times and only use the cleanser sometimes. I use a facial wipe every night to get rid of makeup and impurities that have come to visit during the day. I give my face a good clean and then will sometimes do 2 rounds of cotton pads using the micellar water. I make sure the pad is clean before putting on a generous amount of water gel, paying careful attention to my dry spots and lips.

I probably will buy the micellar water again.

Please go to the range listing and individual product listings for more on my Hydro Boost experience.

I'm sure we've all heard of the wonders of Micellar water over the past year or so. I love the fact that you can incorporate this one into your skin care regime by either applying it after the cleanser, no need to rinse it off or use it on its on instead of a cleanser. If you have dry skin, you can use the Micellar water as your main cleanser and the gel one a few times a week or less. I've only used it twice this far for makeup removal and it worked like a bomb.Be sure to use a cotton pad as it will make removal easier, all you do is dampen the pad with a few drops of Micellar water and remove makeup or build up until the pad is clean. It will remove the makeup with ease, no need to rinse and will leave your skin feeling soft and moisterised.

The Neutrogena® Hydro Boost Micellar Water was amazing. I have always had a particular soft spot for Micellar Waters and how refreshed and clean they make my skin feel.

I used the Micellar water to remove make-up and between washing and hydrating with the Neutrogena® Hydro Boost Cleanser and Hydrating face lotion.

The one thing I will say about this particular Micellar Water is that it wasn't entirely effective in terms of Make-up removal. However Neutrogena may boast that it is definitely more hydrating that the average Micellar water. I would recommend this as a great face make-up remover and definitely recommend moisturising post use.

The Neutrogena® Hydro Boost Micellar Water is a make-up remover and no rinse cleanser. I was given the Micellar Water and facial wipes to review from this range.I used the wipes for a week and the Micellar Water for a week.

I used the Micellar Water in the morning and evening before a shower or bath. I found that it left my skin oily and I was using 3 drops of it.

Between the wipes and micellar water, I prefer using the wipes. They both do the same job which is removing make-up and skin impurities.

This was my first time using micellar water and I've concluded that I’m not a micellar water kinda girl.

This is an unique cleanser that removes impurities and residual make-up but quenches skin with an instant boost of hydration - and the best part - no rinsing required. While I LOVE Micellar Water , this specific one took a bit of getting used to for me. As I wear make-up daily , I am used to removing my make-up with Micellar water. I did find this took a bit longer to remove my make-up - especially my waterproof mascara but it does remove it in the end. While I didn't love it for removing my make-up - I did love it as a cleanser in the morning and for days that I wore heavier make-up after the cleansing gel. It's super easy to use a little on a cotton pad , wipe over your face and I'm ready to go on with my routine.

This product felt cool and refreshing on the skin. It also cleansed my skin without being too rough and drying it.
I could easily use this product as it glides over the skin.

It also removes moderate makeup easily.

I used it once a day at night. It worked well however after a week it suddenly gave me a rash.

In all honesty this product did not do that much justice for me as tried many Micellar Water products as this one isn't one of the best. Yes, It does remove makeup but if you're are wearing full glam it does not remove the makeup effectively as you have to reapply it to remove the rest of your makeup

I Really had a love and hate relationship with this product, it worked best for me in the mornings. As a makeup artist i tend to wear a lot of makeup so i would not depend on this alone to fully remove my makeup, as i found myself having to wash my face with the cleanser after to ensure that all impurities where removed.

this product is a great product for people that apply light makeup and are not fans of eyeliner

I absolutely love this product! My skin feels so smooth and hydrated!

My absolute favorite of this range..
Magic in a Bottle..

This Micellar Water literally mops up dirt and makeup..
It's extremely gentle on the skin and was pleasantly surprised when it didn't leave my eyes burning after removing my eye makeup..

Simply moisten a cotton pad and wipe off your makeup.. It's a no rise formular.. 2 cotton pads was all it took to remove heavy eye makeup.

Suitable for sensitive skin..

So I don't use make up much, My daily routine is a light liquid foundation over the Hydroboost Gel cream and a nice lipstick, I usually use the water gel cleanser to wash my face and get rid of this minimal make up.

But when I do wear a ton of make up, The micellar water works amazing especially for the stubborn waterproof eyeliner and mascara. works like a bomb and it doesn't leave my face feeling dry and dull.

All I do is dab a little micellar water on a cotton pad and gently wipe the make up off. I do prefer this over normal facial wipes, not only does it last longer, but I feel its definitely more hydrating to my skin.

When I feel my face is abit oily or dirty, without having any make up on, I use use a little of the micellar water. This and cotton pads is something I definitely keep in my handbag, Just incase.

This Micellar Water is a unique cleanser that is said to remove make-up and impurities, while adding vital hydration to your skin.
I have been in love with Micellar Waters recently, and have been trying out different brands and products, so I was very excited to receive this. This product does not strip the natural oils from your face nor does it leave it dry and red, like I have found many other Micellar Waters to do so. Instead, it leaves your face feeling supple and flexible as well as super clean from impurities and grime. This is a no-rinse make up remover. I apply this product onto a cotton pad and gently wipe it across my entire face and over my eyes. This product does not burn my eyes or irritate them in the slightest – it is so gentle and tend on the eyes and sensitive patches on the skin.
I have however found that this product removes most of my make-up but not all of it. I tend to have to go in with another make-up remover to get absolutely everything off.
I started off my evening routine using the Hydro Boot Micellar Water to remove my make-up followed by the cleanser, but after day 5 I changed this around and used my Water Gel Cleanser first followed by the Micellar Water.
This product retails for R99.95

I mean WOW!

I have been using the Neutrogena® Hydro Boost Micellar Water for the past 5 days and I have found it to be so refreshing.
We all know how long our days can be. Having a full face of makeup during a working day can make you feel very yucky. But coming home to use this product has been the highlight of my days. It's really cooling and refreshing. It removes the heaviness and leaves my skin feeling clean and crisp.

This product is wonderful for those who struggle with dehydration and skin irritation. It is a wonderful summer skin care product.

I will be posting about the full range in the next few days.

I am loving the Neutrogena Hydro Boost Micellar Water, its a mess free makeup remover.

One of my golden rules for having a beautiful complexion is making sure you remove dirt and makeup from your skin at night. Our skin is twice as active during the night, so you have to make sure you remove any excess dirt and makeup. Sometimes in the evening I tend to be lazy, so to make things convenient, I place the Neutrogena Hydro Boost Micellar Water on my cupboard next to me bed, with my eco-friendly cotton pads.

I love how easily my makeup is removed and at the same time, my skin is also receiving a boost of moisture. I struggled abit with my mascara but learnt that I needed to use a new cotton pad with loads of the Neutrogena Hydro Boost Micellar Water and the mascara was removed. It did not hurt my eyes or cause any burning sensation which I really appreciate.

I love the product and am not 100% sure (yet) if I will repurchase it at this point.

I received the Neutrogena Hydro Boost Micellar Water from Beauty Bulletin, and it has quickly become a staple item in my makeup kit for clients as well as part of my daily routine. The products fragrance immediately refreshes skin and mind. I love the fact that it can also be used as a cleanser, especially on those mornings when I press the snooze button one too many times. It saves me time and makes my skin feel clean and refreshed. I use it in the evenings as a toner after washing my face with The Hydro Boost cleanser, and it helps remove any excess makeup that hung on without leaving my skin feeling stripped and dry. My skin has never looked more bright and dewy, I'm so happy with this range and cant stop bragging about it to my clients, colleagues and friends.

I was chosen by Beauty Bulletin in the #BBRecruitReview to try out the Neutrogena Hydro Boost Gel-Cream and I must say I was highly impressed. I generally have combination skin, however after the winter months it tends to be dry and in desperate need of a boost! I tried out the entire range for two weeks and this is my say;

I've always suffered with other makeup removers, they either left my skin dry and stripped of its natural oils or burning horribly after. When I heard that there was a new product on the block, I new I had to try it! And thanks to Beauty Bulletin I received the products right on my door step.

I was highly impressed. Never has my makeup come off so smooth and swiftly, EVEN my eye makeup! And that was a great plus! My skin looked healthy, moisturized and hydrated after and did not burn like it usually does.

There is definitely no excuse to sleep with makeup on anymore! You have to get this product and see the wonders for yourself.

I would highly recommend this if you suffer with dry skin. Check out my video uploaded by Megan below.

Nabeelah used the Neutrogena Hydro Boost Range have a look at her video review.

The best make up remover I have ever tried out. Leaves my face feeling unbelievably clean and impurity-free! I would definitely recommend this product to anyone who has combination skin that needs a good make up remover and a cleanser, as this product does the work of both. And for just R99.95, it is a bargain. Great quality at an affordable price.
