I absolutely love this product and noticed a difference in my skin the next day! Neutrogena generally is very good for my skin, no irritation and always improves my skin. Highly recommend.

Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel Review
Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel double’s skins moisture in just 1hr. This refreshing, silky gel formula uses the innovative Progressive Release System to address the underlying cause of dryness by absorbing moisture from the air and releasing it into the skin over time, so skin stays soft and radiant looking all day long.

Tips: Use at night so it absorbs
Purely because of the fragrance, I wouldn’t buy this one again. It smells good but I have sensitive skin and if your barrier is compromised it will probably burn and irritate your skin like it did mine.
Otherwise it is non comedogenic and great for oily combination skin, as is the gel cream too!
Tips: Try the fragrance free gel cream if you react to it. I think they’re equally moisturising.
I was expecting super hydration when I bought this but was pretty disappointed. It didn't deliver and it didn't do anything special. My skin was no more moisterized than if I used any old moisterizer. But, if texture is important to you and you want a gel product that feels light weight and sinks in well then I think you'd like this. I imagine it would be good for oily skin types. With my combination skin that can get fairly dry I wanted something more moisturizing and thick. I do like the refreshing feeling of it though when you first apply it and liked to keep it in the fridge so it was cool too.
I have been using this moisturizer on and off for around 8 years now! It is my trusty go-to that I always purchase when I see it on sale (it is regularly up to 40% off at Countdown, Pac n Save or Chemist Warehouse now). I keep using this product because I love the gel texture, and it absorbs into my skin so well leaving it dewy and feeling so moisturised. I also love the night version, which I sometimes use in the day during winter when I need extra hydration. I have bought this so many times I have lost count, and always finish it. It is the only product I have been loyal too this long, it works, feels lovely to use, and the price is great. I have recommended this to quite a few friends too. Love it!
I really love Neutrogena as a brand. Nothing I have ever used from them has affected my sensitive skin. This is a nice gel/cream formula and a little bit goes a long way. Feels alot like a serum/moisturiser. Love it! I’m on my second tub
It's my 5th time using Hydro Boost Water Gel. Recommend it to dry skin people as well as Oily skin people. It has that watery feelings to it when you scoop it for the first time. I even took these to my holiday out side New Zealand.
I picked this up on a whim from Countdown as it was on special and I was very interested in the whole 'hyrdo' hype surrounding this product. I'm glad I didn't pay full price, because I absolutely hate it!
The texture was the stuff of a dream, it was smooth and gel like, which is what I was excited for. It was thick like a cream but, well, a gel. The smell put me off immediately, it was so soapy and horrible, it smelled like cheap nasty $2 shop beauty rather than something worth $30. First disappointment.
Second disappointment would be the fact that as soon as it hit my face, I was greeted with a tingling sensation. It faded, but the horrid smell never did and it was quite overpowering. Then, the final cherry on the cake, my face felt drier for using it. My skin is pretty dry, so I was excited for this and the promise of hydration, but it's just terrible. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone!
My skin varies as to how sensitive it is seasonally. In summer it's a lot less sensitive so I can only use this then. If i use this in winter instead of the gel-cream formula my skin goes red and textured, I believe due to dyes and perfume. If I use this in summer, it's just fine and works quite well. Light and hydrating, a little goes a long way, absorbs quickly.
Tips: Use the gel-cream if you have skin easily irritated by perfumes and dyes. Wait 10 minutes before layering anything ontop so it doesn't pill up.
Amazing. My go to for spring & summer. I add it to my regeme after serum but before moisterisor. I also keep handy adding through out the day when hot and especially after washing face post exercising.
Comes in twist top pot and is a gel formula. Not slippery. A little goes long way. Pleasant fragrance and absorbs quickly. Very easy to apply.
It seems to be a product that would suit all ages.
IMO it adds so much to a regrime but I wouldn't replace a moisterisor but adding it.
I'd highly recommend, it's one of those pearler supermarket buys.
Tips: I keep in fridge, summer time it's beyond refreshing on face when cool.
I saw a Davey Rooney video explaining the difference between dry and dehydrated skin and decided to give this a go, and wow I'm not disappointed!!! Within a few days my skin has become so soft and way less oily too.
Tips: At night pop a thin layer of vaseline on after applying the gel
