Neutrogena Face Cream Gel Hydro Boost, 50ml

Neutrogena Hydro Boost Gel Cream is the richer of the two Hydro Boost textures. Same hyaluronic acid focus as the Water Gel, but with more substance to it, which suits skin that is genuinely dry rather than oily and finds the lighter gel leaves it wanting more by mid-morning.

It still absorbs rather than sitting on the surface, so it is a step up in richness rather than a heavy occlusive cream.

Specs

• Form: Gel cream moisturiser
• Volume: 50ml
• Key ingredient: Hyaluronic acid
• Skin type: Dry and dehydrated
• Brand: Neutrogena

Benefits

• Richer than the Water Gel without tipping over into a heavy cream, which makes it usable year round
• Dry and dehydrated are not the same thing. Dry skin lacks oil, dehydrated skin lacks water, and hyaluronic acid addresses the second
• Air conditioning is a common cause of dehydrated skin here, and it affects oily skin as readily as dry
• Applying to damp skin matters more with hyaluronic acid than with most ingredients
• Works as a night cream if you use the Water Gel during the day

How to Use

• Apply to a cleansed face morning and evening
• Apply while the skin is still slightly damp
• Massage in gently, including the neck
• Follow with SPF in the morning
• Use dry fingers or a spatula to take product from the jar
• Avoid the eye area and close the lid after use
