Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel Hyaluronic Acid

Hi there! Happy Monday!

Now that I’m in my 30’s I’ve come to love skincare, and find myself often more excited to try new skincare over new makeup (still love makeup, let’s not get crazy here). I have heard great things about hyaluronic acid, and today I want to share a product that has quickly become a go-to for me.

What Is Hyaluronic Acid?

Hyaluronic Acid is a clear, gooey substance that is naturally produced by your body. The largest amounts of it are found in your skin, connective tissue and eyes. Its main function is to retain water to keep your tissues well lubricated and moist.

This gel is described as a refreshing, lightweight water gel that instantly quenches and continuously hydrates skin. Formulated with hyaluronic acid, it boosts hydration and locks it in so skin stays hydrated, smooth and supple.

Hydro Boost hydrates skin by replenishing water and rebuilding skin’s barrier, leveraging two key ingredients:

Purified Hyaluronic Acid- Naturally found in the skin helps with hydration. It acts like a sponge for dry skin cells, absorbing up to 1000 times its weight in water and progressively releases water back into the skin, keeping skin hydrated and supple throughout the day.
Olive Extract- Known for its protective, moisturizing and anti-oxidant qualities, it is a complex combination for fatty acids, which is similar to skin’s natural moisture shield. It integrates into the skin barrier, forming a structure that protects skin from excessive moisture loss. It also helps leave skin feeling soft and smooth without tackiness.

My Thoughts

I love that this formula is a gel but it is also moisturizing. I’ve heard that this Hydro Boost is great for dry skin, but I have combo/oily skin and have found it to work very well for me. I like to wear a moisturizer with S.P.F during the day. I have even used this during the day with a facial sunscreen over it. I find this to be very refreshing and like this using it especially when I feel that I’m dealing with breakouts because it doesn’t feel heavy. I bought a small sample size of this because it is a bit pricy for a drugstore brand skincare line, but now I know that it will be well worth my investment. I also still love the Neutrogena Hydro Boost Masks.
