I have thoroughly enjoyed using the Neutrogena Hydro Boost range, however I must admit that this was my least favourite of the four products. I will continue to use it, but I would not repurchase it.
The packaging for this product is almost identical to the night concentrate, which makes for a pretty display in my bathroom but isn't particularly practical. This is a sturdy, eye catching aqua jar that is heavy and easy to open and close. The scent is also very similar to the night concentrate, fresh but almost soap smelling. The formula is a gel, which makes it fast absorbing but still very hydrating. This is perfect for underneath my drying foundation, as I don't need to wait long before applying my makeup but my skin is left bright, plump and hydrated throughout the day in an air conditioned building. The product smoothes easily over the skin and a little bit goes a long way.
However, this product is almost identical to the second 'water gel' in the range, which contains SPF. The packaging and SPF are truly the only differences that I can distinguish. There is no harm in using SPF during the day, so why wouldn't I? It is for this reason that I won't repurchase this product - I just don't see where it fits into my routine.
I was selected for a trial and I have really enjoyed it. My skin is oily with little prone acne. I think this product is great for me because after used it my skin is so smooth. It doesn't clog my pores and during the day my skin doesn't feel greasy. I have noticed that my skin has that healthy glow. I like this gel is not thick and is absorbed quickly. Also I don't have sensitive skin, so its perfume doesn't affect me. Its smell is fresh, I don't think is strong but if you have sensitive skin ask for a sachet. Its packaging is not heavy and looks luxurious. Even though I like it, I would prefer a bottle with a pump, so when I finish this jar I will buy the water gel with SPF 15. This gel has silicone but is oil free. I have used it before apply my foundation. I didn't have any problem with that, my makeup looks good. I would recommend this product in summer season will be super.
Tips: For those day we don't have enough time this gel is really good because has quick absorption.
