AMAZING!

I LOVE this product. I have noticed a huge difference in my face. It is much softer and moisturized. For best results, put this product on after the shower or after washing your face with water to slow down transepidermal water loss and hydrate your skin. What is great about this product is that it contains hyaluronic acid in the form of sodium hyaluronate. Hyaluronate is a glycosaminoglycan, which means it is a carbohydrate composed of repeating disaccharide units and contains an amino sugar (a sugar with a nitrogen). Hyaluronic acid is found all over the body in various tissues and serves as an important part of lubrication for tissues. In the skin, it is involved in tissue repair. Along with ceramides, which belong to the lipid family, hyaluronate is a great ingredient for hydrating your skin. I am a normal to oily skin type and find that this product is good for me as well. This product and products similar to it are definitely not only for dry skin types (or extra-dry skin types, as the label advertises), they are great for all skin types. For people with normal to oily skin, hydrating your face properly can actually contribute to less oily skin because your face is not producing oil in response to dryness. Keep in mind it is also important to use good sunscreen every day to protect your skin. This product is also great because it is unscented, which is best for skin care. It also non-comedogenic meaning it will not clog pores (good for oily skin types as well). Though the jar appears small, I have found it lasts quite along time, because you only need a small amount to really hydrate your face. So, use length will really only depend on how many times a day you use it because you do not need much every time. I am totally converted and will continue to use this product or other products containing hyaluronic acid.

It works!!!

The only product I've actually stuck with and was using everyday for dry skin. Well low and behold about 4 werks later I noticed my under eye wrinkles and puffiness was much less noticeable.

Great Product!

I have been using hyaluronic acid off and on for a while. I have been buying the overpriced stuff that my esthetician sells so when I saw Neutrogena hydro boost I was excited. I have read some of the customer reviews and have noticed that a lot of people’s responses are 1) this doesn’t moisturize enough and 2) the smell. I bought the gel cream, and this actually works better than a lot of the high end products I was using before! Most hyaluronic acid serums are meant to be used in combination with a lotion. So if these buyers are buying just the gel, it wouldn’t feel the same throughout the day as a lotion or cream. The cream gel however seems to be both the serum and a moisturizer making this perfect for keeping skin hydrated. It states that this is for extra dry skin, but I think it would be ok for everyone except the truly oily. There were also complaints I noticed about the smell. Maybe the gel does have a perfume in it, but the gel cream is fragrance free. So if there are concerns about smell or sensitive skin, the gel cream would be a great choice. Overall, Neutrogena Hydro Boost holds up the higher end serums (I was spending $50+ previously). I am thrilled (and so is my wallet) to have found this!

Now I love it and am about to order my 3rd jar

I received my first jar as a gift and didn't get what all the buzz was about until I did my research and learned how to use it. Now I love it and am about to order my 3rd jar. I think the negative reviews are because most people, like me, try to use it as a stand alone moisturizer. I learned that it is a humectant and and works well applied a WET skin to lock in moisture. Let it dry, then use whatever serums and moisturizers you prefer for day or night. Try it this way and I think you'll be pleased with the results.

Lightweight, non-greasy, and oh so effective!

This is the most amazing moisturizer I have ever used. I have an oily T-Zone, and have always had a hard time with moisturizers feeling greasy on my skin. This one is so light but so effective. A tiny little bit covers your entire face, and it feels like you have nothing on your face at all. You're left with your skin feeling soft and smooth. When I tell people that I'm going to turn 53, they never believe me. They say I look 35. Thank God for this product!

great drugstore moisturizer

I love this cream/gel. I have sensitive combination skin, and have found that this works perfectly as a night moisturizer. The Hyaluronic acid is PERFECT for combo skin or sensitive skin! It really leaves the skin feeling silky soft, I just wish the container actually contained more product as I run through it very quickly.

Very Nice Stuff

I really like this stuff. Let it absorb / dry and then continue with your normal routine. It's not greasy, which is why I would stop using other face creams. I use this during the day and an oilier product at night. At 57, I realize that some oil is necessary. I have really sensitive skin, especially as I grow older, but this stuff has caused zero issues. I've been using this for over 2 months. It's totally subjective, but I think it's helpful for very fine lines and some crepiness (sp?). I would never expect a face cream to do anything amazing - that's not realistic. This does as much as I would hope.

Like Magic

Neutrogena Hydro Boost is nothing short of miraculous. I've never been more pleased with a facial moisturizer. I got it yesterday and used it right away. I was impressed with how smoothly it went on and was completely invisible. Even better, my skin didn't feel tight or coated. Then the miracle: A couple of hours later, I looked in the mirror, and surprise, no dry, flakey skin. I assumed it just hadn't had time to get back to its dry condition, but this morning it still looks as smooth as it does in the summertime. This is the first time I've used a Neutrogena product, but it certainly won't be the last.

Just try it....

This is actually some good stuff. I found this little gem after one of those “beauty influencers” recommended it for us commoners instead of the super expensive brand ones. (Cause ya know. We like to eat & need to pay bills) ... this moisturizer really does work. I have dryer skin than the “normal” and of course it’s “sensitive” cause that’s in right now too, but when it’s extra dry from the 0 degree temps outside I slap more of this stuff on my face and lightly push it into my skin and hope for the best; and it usually works. If you’re looking for something that fights the good fight against wrinkles, this isn’t it. That’s Botox. So, Basically: it’s a good one for you to put moisture on your face. It’s “drug store”. You can get it easily anywhere. It’s affordable for the commoners. You get bang for your buck.

Expect hydration!!! Perfect for oily skin and dry skin

I like this product. I feel like its what I needed in my skin care routine. I'm a puertorican guy(hairstylist) living in Florida. Im don't put just anything on my face because I know how I want my face to look and what I want from a face product. My skin care routine consists of: cleansing, serum, eye cream, moisturizer. I always felt like my face is dry with texture even though is oily and I use gentle products. I started using a glycolic acid serum which has helped with my texture. But this gel cream, along with the hydra booster mixed, and aplied before my moisturizer is exactly what I needed. Always felt my face tight even after using any rich moisturizer but what I needed is the water or wetness(hydration that this provides) I love it. I personally bought it because it was blue. The only thing I didn't like is that it didnt come with a second cap inside to protect the product.
