I have to be honest, I tried using this on a few different occasions to give it a fair chance but there is an ingredient in it that causes skin irritation on my face, my skin began to itch within seconds each time and caused a temporary rash.
*I do have sensitive skin so this kind of reaction is not uncommon for me, but this is the first Neutrogena product that disagreed with me.
As a result, I can't offer an opinion on its effectiveness as a sunscreen :/

NEUTROGENA® Hydro Boost Hand Gel Cream

The gel cream has a very nice texture! I'm having difficulty describing the scent but my son says it has a light baby powder smell and I can't argue with that :) Being in my late 40's I find my skin is more thirsty for moisture than ever, this absorbed quickly yet it maintained hydration for hours!
The cost is a bit higher than I'd normally pay for a hand cream, but in this case, you do get what you pay for - and found I used far less in a day than I do my usual hand cream! A+

I am on the fence for these. They are super handy to toss in your purse or beach bag. The wipes are lightly scented, strong enough to handle the job and lightly scented (I also used them to freshen up under my shirt and my neck on warm days for a refresh). On the other hand, they aren't very environmentally friendly and I do find the 20 pack a bit costly.
Bottom line is they do their job well, so if what you're looking for is a good/convenient product then I'd say give them a go!

The dark spot rescue moisturizing hand cream is nice, it does leave my hands feeling soft and hydrated. Although it did leave my skin brighter, it did not do a lot for the darker spots. I'm unsure if it is intended to brighten unevenly toned skin or if it is to also work on age spots - it could be that I was expecting far more than what it was intended / promised :) What I consider age spots are larger flat moles - the hand cream didn't do much for those but it certainly did take care of hydrating the rest of my hands and forearms :)
I'm loving the Clinical Care Line, the quality and value are on point.

As sobering as it is to reach for aging skin care, I have been using this for 3 weeks now and it's made a BIG difference in my skin's hydration and appearance. I am middle-aged with dry sensitive skin and the Aging Skin Rescue formula will remain a part of my daily routine. I use it on my face, neck, and arms twice daily after - morning and evening, making sure my face is freshly clean before applying - and I no longer struggle with tight dry skin and have been enjoying a brighter clearer complexion.
This is a fairly light formula that absorbs well within a few minutes, no worries of a greasy or oily residue like some other products.
For under $10 a bottle, this is a fantastic value!

I must first say that I'm not a big fan of unrecyclable/ disposable products, these do work okay but lathering my hands up with hand cream and putting my rubber gloves on overnight works just as well if not better - and for the fraction of the cost. I do craftwork, painting and gardening so need to deeply moisturize my hands very frequently so these don't suit my long term needs. -

This was pretty fantastic to use after the harsh winter, I soaked in the tub first then put these hydrating booties on before putting my socks on (so I wouldn't slip). I did fall asleep watching a movie so ended up having these on for a few hours instead of 10 minutes, but the results were very nice!
In all honesty, the scented padded plastic made me feel like I was wearing diapers on my feet it lol but it did leave my tootsies smooth and hydrated :)
These are something I can see myself using a few times per month to help prevent my skin from cracking

I was introduced to this product when I purchased a large body pillow on a local buy and sell group, I couldn't get enough of the scent on the pillow case! I emailed the seller and asked her what she used lol. I've been using this line ever since! I also sometimes put some in a little dishes around the house to freshen things up. -

Dawn is now the only dish soap I will buy, everytime I try something different I end up using a ton of it trying to get the same results that Dawn gives me - and they fail every time. It cuts oil, grease and grime from my pots yet isn't irritating to my skin.
I love the various scents available to a bit of a switch up :)

I love highlights in my hair but having fine hair it is hard on it and causes it to dry out, get brittle and break so try my best to revitalize them with other products when I can. I've used purple shampoo in an attempt to freshen them, but end up with a weird purple hue to my hair - NOT what I was aiming for and I was embarassed when this was pointed out to me. The John Frieda Go Blonder Lemon Miracle Masque was worth a try, and I love it! I don't find I need to use a whole lot of, it gave a nice light honey shine to my highlights and has not dried my hair out at all, my hair looks and feels much healthier - plus the light lemony scent is refreshing! -
