This gel based moisturizer works wonders. It applies nicely to the skin and absorbs into your skin immediately leaving your skin feeling hydrated. It doesn’t leave your skin feeling sticky either.

Smells like bubble gum :)

My skin really likes this gel. It's quite cooling and hydrating. Worked well for me all seasons helping with my glow up.

The light bublegummy scent is also cute and make it a bit fun. The only down side to this is that sunscreen is an additional step.

With the right skin care regimen for your skin type, this gel can take your skin to the next level indeed.

Don't forget to wear sunscreen

Neutrogena® Hydro Boost Water Gel

This product is fantastic it just soaks into my skin leaving it hydryted all day and smooth a must by if you want to bring back moister into your skin

I was skeptical to use this product as I'm not the biggest fan of a heavy fragrance on my skin, but it really does provide a comfortable moisture to my skin especially in dry winter months. My skin is soft and supple after applying this gel.

The packaging is quite pretty, in a lovely bright blue - The smell is absolutely amazing - I cannot even describe it, almost as lovely as shampoo :p The consistency is super thin and 'watery' but it absorbs extremely nicely once you massage it in :) It leaves your face feeling SO FRESH and soft and supple! I am quite impressed with this product, will recommend to friends with dry skin! x

I got this Water Gel when my skin was having a tantrum - I'd just come off the pill, and my previously dehydrated, but normal skin was oily and dehydrated. My regular day lotions were too rich for me, and this one did the trick - it provided the hydration my skin needed during the day, without causing me to get oily within the first hour of applying my makeup.
Lovely for sunburnt skin too, as it hydrates and soothes.
I won't repurchase as my skin prefers the Gel Cream now that it's settled down.

Its extremely gentle on skin, hydrates throughout the day and has a fresh watery smell that i absolutely love.

Love the packaging fresh blue colours and light scent and texture. It's non irritating on skin but keeps my skin soft &moisturised

I am truly impressed with this range of face products. I received the face wash, wipes and the Hydro face gel. The face wash and the wipes are awesome but I feel that I am not getting the moisture I need from the face gel. the texture and the feel is amazing, but I need to apply extra moisturizer soon after. I would definitely recommend the face wash and the face wipes. :)

This product leaves the skin feeling hydrated and soft and it easily absorbed into my skin.


You don't need to use a lot of product as with this product a little goes a long way. The gel has a nice fragrance.

For the week that I did use it I did see my skin looking more youthful and hydrated

I have always worry about trying a new facial products as acne prone skin which breaks at any moment. Then can along this product it truly re-hydrated make skin back to normal mositure levels without making me oily and break out

The new Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel is a refreshing water-gel moisturiser that absorbs instantly locking in hydration and releasing it when your skin needs it. No fanning required with this gel, minutes after applying it I wonder if I need more. The skin feels softer immediately and goes on.

Is the product easy to use?
Comes in an adorable little tub and the Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water-Gel gel consistency makes it easy to deep in without causing a mess.

Is it of a high quality?
Packaging and products are outstanding. The gel’s ice blue colour screams luxury. This moisturiser delivers without me feeling greasy. I am a highly sensitive person but this product has delivered. It has a cooling feel to it that stays with me all day.

Is it geared towards somebody like me?
Being sensitive, I was worried when I started this line. But my skin is glowing now. I don’t apply any makeup on my skin beyond an eyeliner and mascara so I want my skin to look and feel refreshed and well hydrated. This product delivers just that for me.

Have others had a good experience with the product?
The Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water-Gel moisturiser has been featured in countless articles as the go-to moisturiser for individuals with sensitive and dry skin, individuals that need a product that will hydrate without leaving their skin oily.

What alternatives are available, and how do they measure up?
I like that I can use Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water-Gel Moisturiser with the alternatives though it is not required. My skin is so hydrated and less oily which is all I need. Even though I refresh myself during the day, I do not feel like I really need to now with Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water-Gel Moisturiser.

Is the product worth my money?
It’s quite pricey compared to the product I usually use, but I need my skin well hydrated so I will be buying this one. It is worth it.

I've been using the Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel for two weeks and I absolutely love it! I have oily/combination skin. Initially I was skeptical about using a hydroboost water gel but I love it. After two weeks of using the Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel daily, my skin no longer has that tight sensation around my nose/cheeks.

The con of the Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel is that the moisturiser does not have a SPF factor of 15/30. I still have to wear my sunblock over the moisturiser. My preference is too have a SPF in my moisturiser. It would be great it Neutrogena could include a scoop as I don't like using my hands in my moisturiser for bacterial purposes.

I think its good value for money and will repurchase the product.

I have been using this water gel for almost 2 weeks, and I was quite impressed by it.

What I loved the most about this product was the packaging. It looks high end and solid, and the color is absolutely beautiful!

I use this gel after I cleanse my face but before I apply a primer to start off my daily makeup routine, and I must say the consistency is so attractive. The moment you open the product, you just want to dip your finger in, because like it says on the product, it's not a cream but it's a gel, so that's super cool!

Another great bonus from this product is that a little bit goes a long way, so it should last you probably a month and a half and maybe pushing it to 2 months!

When you apply this gel, your skin immediately feels refreshed and hydrated! I have combination/oily skin, and this product doesn't affect me negatively in any way, my skin just feels normal and not oily at all!!

What can I say? Neutrogena has just been paying attention to us, and listening to our reviews and in return they have been bringing out amazing products!

Neutrogena has quickly become my Holy Grail Skin care brand!

I LOVE IT!
