Neutrogena Face Moisturizer Water Gel, 50ml

Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel is the lighter of the two textures in the Hydro Boost range, built around hyaluronic acid. It has a gel consistency that sinks in almost immediately and leaves nothing on the surface, which is what makes it work for skin that is oily or combination and finds most moisturisers heavy.

If your skin is dry rather than oily, the Gel Cream version in the same range is the one to look at instead.

Specs

• Form: Water gel moisturiser
• Volume: 50ml
• Key ingredient: Hyaluronic acid
• Skin type: Normal to combination and oily
• Oil-free and non-comedogenic
• Brand: Neutrogena

Benefits

• Hyaluronic acid works by holding water, so applying to slightly damp skin gives it something to hold on to
• Oily skin still needs moisturising. Skipping it often leaves skin dehydrated and oilier by the afternoon
• The gel texture disappears fast, which makes it practical under make-up or sunscreen
• Oil-free and non-comedogenic, so it will not add to congestion on breakout-prone skin
• Comfortable in heat and humidity, where richer creams feel like too much

How to Use

• Apply to a cleansed face morning and evening
• Apply while the skin is still slightly damp
• Let it absorb, then follow with SPF in the morning
• Use a clean spatula or dry fingers to take product from the jar
• Avoid the eye area
• Close the lid after use and store away from heat
