I love products that promise to hydrate your skin so the new Neutrogena Hydro Boost range<\/a> did catch my eye…. and my nose. I knew my blog buddy Giddy Tigress might like to try it too so I sent her the new Neutrogena Hydro Boost Gel Cream <\/strong>last month to trial. Here is her review.<\/em><\/p>\n

Give me any product with the word \u201chydro\u201d in it, and I will definitely not hesitate to try it out. With the amount of air-conditioning most of us are exposed to, it is safe to say that most of us have some level of dehydrated skin, and can certainly benefit from some extra moisture.<\/p>\n

Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel cream moisturizer<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

When I first saw the Neutrogena Hydro Boost Gel<\/strong>, I was reminded of how similar the tub looked like Clinique\u2019s Total Turnaround Cream. The Neutrogena Hydro Boost Gel 50g comes packaged in a blue crystal tub, with a matte silver cover. I opened it up to discover to my amusement, that the gel-like cream is also a light shade of blue!<\/p>\n

Well, the first thing that I noticed was however, not the color of the gel, but rather the VERY strong scent it exudes. It\u2019s not an unpleasant smell, but to me, it felt a tad pungent and quite *sharp<\/strong>*. I immediately tried a little on the back of my hand and was surprised that it made my skin smoother right away.<\/p>\n

That same night, I applied the Neutrogena Hydro Boost Gel after my regular cleanser and toner regime. I still couldn\u2019t get past the strong smell though, and it lingered a long long time. I don\u2019t really like skincare products with strong smells, so this was sort of a turn-off for me. I thought I would get used to the scent as time went on, but I have been using it for 3 weeks now, and I still don\u2019t really like the smell. I wish they\u2019d make it perfume-free though.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In spite of the smell, however, the Neutrogena Hydro Boost Gel worked wonders to maintain the moisture level in my skin. It has something called the Progressive Release System, which gradually releases moisture into your skin throughout the time the gel is on your skin, and my skin definitely did not feel dry afterward.<\/p>\n

The gel is rather light but not sticky. It goes on smoothly on my face and neck, but I found that I have to use quite a lot to make sure it covers my face and neck. Not very economical, I\u2019m afraid.<\/p>\n

I used this gel day and night as a replacement for my moisturizer. It didn\u2019t make my skin taut after 3 weeks of usage, which meant that it maintained the moisture levels, and I would recommend it to anyone who feels their skin is dehydrated, because the hydrating effect is almost immediate, and it\u2019s cooling too! At RM59.90 <\/strong>a 50g tub, it\u2019s a value-for-money product if you\u2019re not particular about strong-smelling stuff.<\/p>\n

Pros: <\/strong>Light and non sticky texture, Keeps skin moisturized, Has hydrating and cooling effects<\/p>\n

Cons: <\/strong>Strong scent<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

PB Notes:<\/strong> Like Giddy Tigress I found the scent in the Neutrogena Hydro Boost line a little strong too. It would be nice if Neutrogena killed the scent or made it lighter. Have you tried this one? Do you have your own thoughts to share?<\/p>\n
