Lightweight but not hydrating enough

I was sent the Neutrogena Hydro Boost Gel Cream for review purposes. I have combination skin, oily around the t-zone and dry patches on my cheeks. I like how this gel cream is oil-free and non-comedogenic. It feels very light-weight and absorbs very quickly. However, I don't find it particularly hydrating as it hasn't done much for my dry patches. I think it could be a good moisturizer for hot summer weather but I don't see myself purchasing this product in the future.

Lots of nice things about this

I got this product free to try from Chick Advisor. Honestly when I pulled it out of the box I wasn't sure what to think. We got a very small trial size tube (7mL) and all the package said was 'Neutrogena Hydro Boost Gel Cream' - it didn't explain what the product was at all - so I kind of had to assume it was a moisturizer. I was doubtful that I would even have anything to say about this product because the sample size was so small, but it honestly lasted me way longer than I expected!

Depending on how much you use - this 7mL sample can last 2-3 weeks of once a day use.

Here is what I noticed while using it:

It doesn't really have any scent/fragrance/odor to it - and for me, this was actually a positive. Smell was the main reason why I did NOT like the other 2 products that came with this one. It goes on nicely - it isn't greasy, sinks in fast, and doesn't leave my skin shiny. Once it was on, I basically couldn't even feel it. It was not heavy (very light), didn't feel gritty and left my face feeling nice and smooth.

Honestly, I'm still not 100% sure what thus product is supposed to do, as I didn't notice that it did much after a few weeks of use. It moisturized, but not any better than other products I have used.

The cost for this product is $19.97/47mL, and the moisturizing gel cream that I have been using is $15.97/50mL - so the Neutrogena product is a little pricier than my normal brand, but not much in comparison to some of the other products (which were 5X more expensive at least).

I did like this product, and don't really have anything negative to say, other than that it's a bit pricy. Honestly though I think I prefer the brand I was already using. However, if you are looking for a new Gel cream moisturizer I do recommend trying this one - it has a lot of positives and very few negatives, and might just be perfect for you.

Skins right in

This gel cream worked wonders on my super dry skin. It sunk right in and kept my skin hydrated for hours. It also made my makeup look fresh upon application. The only thing that bothered me a bit was the fragrance. If it came scent-free or very lightly scented, that'd be a bonus. While it is a tad expensive, it does what it claims to do and I would buy it again once I run out. Very glad I #gotitfree to try...it's a new staple in my skincare routine!

Fabulous and light!

I really like this product. It was light and made my skin feel great! Super hydrating and smells fantastic. I'm not a regular user of gel cream products but will definitely add this item to my daily skin care routine.

Pros and cons

As a girl with oily skin type and acne, I was glad that it’s an oil-free and non-comedogenic product. But as other noticed, the smell is not really appealing. They could change that so we could appreciate it more.

Will be buying !

A very nice smooth gel cream. Made my skin feel hydrated all day ! It was nice and light not greasy . I definitly be buying soon ! Received complimentary from chick advisor .

Refreshing

The coolness of the gel cream really made my skin feel refreshed in the morning. The lightweight texture was a plus and the smell reminded me of summer. My skin had a nice dewy look after using it.

Works Great

I received this product through the website so I did not have to pay however I think I would have purchased this only if it was on sale. The product definitely did it's job; My skin felt clean, hydrated and refreshed. However my skin did break out around the chin area which is a big concern for me! If you do not have sensitive skin then give it a try!

Good for combination skin

I have a combination to oily skin. This product works well on me because it does not give me greasy feeling after wearing it the whole day. However, I would not recommend people with sensitive skin. It does give me a bit redness after using it.

Works great!

This product helped hrydrate my super dry skin, feels great on the skin! Super smooth and makes your skin look plump making your skin the perfect canvas for makeup!
