Q: The heading says for Dry Skin but the product says normal to oily skin. Which is it?
submitted by Krystal - 1 year ago
A: Someone told me years ago, gel moisturizers are mainly best for oily/combo skin. I just bought it to try because I’m menopausal but still have an oily T-Zone.
submitted byTreeK - 1 year agoA: Thank you for reaching out! This product is ideal for normal, oily and combination skin types. Neutrogena® Hydro Boost Water Cream on the other hand is ideal for dry, sensitive, and acne-prone skin. You may visit Neutrogena.com website for more details.

Q: Can you tell me why this needs to have blue dye in it? What exactly does that do for your skin? I think that's a horrible ingredient when you've taken the time to remove parabens. I returned mine.
submitted by Anna M - 7 years ago
A: I agree blue dye is not needed and fragrance is not needed.
submitted byCustomer - 5 years ago
Q: Is there any sort of seal on this product, either on the box or under the cap itself? I noticed another slightly different version for normal to dry skin (which looks almost identical) had one.
submitted by MarkyMark - 1 month ago
A: Hi, this product does not have a tamper-resistant seal as this is only required for OTC human drug products (except dermatologics, dentifrices, insulin, and throat lozenges), cosmetic liquid oral hygiene products and vaginal products, and contact lens solutions and tablets used to make these solutions; therefore, we don’t include them on other types of products.

Hydrating, lightweight, effective
I love the lightweight texture of this water gel! Its effectiveness is impressive, as it provides deep hydration while protecting my skin with SPF 15. The absorption is incredibly fast, leaving no sticky feel. It has great suitability for my skin type and works perfectly under makeup. It’s a must-have for daily protection and moisture!

Great moisturizer for oily skin
This is my favorite moisturizer! I have oily skin and this doesn't feel heavy or make my skin shiny like other brands. Works great too! You can use it under your foundation or before bed at night.

No more dry skin
Hydro boost changed my face from dry, flakey skin to smooth and clear. I have sensitive skin and everything I tried failed. My face healed as soon as I tried the hydro boost gel cream and wipes. No more dry, rough patches or flakey skin.

Top quality
I absolutely love all of Neutrogena water gel products. This is one of my favorites as it moisturizes very well and provides added protection for the sun. It applies effortlessly and absorbs quickly. I use it underneath my makeup and it doesn't causes any pilling. I highly recommend this product and any product in the Neutrogena water gel line.

Perfect for oily sensitive skin
I absolutely LOVE the hydroboost line by Neutrogena! The gel is perfect for people like me who have very oily sensitive skin and cannot use products that are too heavy, particularly in the morning without walking out of the house looking like a glazed donut! I love the combination on this one being a one and done product providing moisture and sun protection.
