Neutrogena Bright Boost Illuminating Serum

I wasn't sure at first how I would like this serum as I have never used anything like it before and I was surprised by the bright fresh shine it left on my face. I didn't hate it. Left face feeling soft and hydrated.

Packaging woes

I received this product for free as a part of the Product Review Club. Thanks Chick Advisor!

I love serums in general, and having drier skin, I also gravitate toward anything that can give my skin some added radiance. This product is exactly that, and I found that it also seems to add some hydration as well. The cream texture feels great, and with continued use, does seem to be aiding in my overall brightened complexion (it's hard to determine which product is working best though, as I'm currently using the whole range.) Overall, I quite like this product, but it is not packaged well. The cream texture does not work with the pipette applicator, so you end up having to scoop the product off it. A pump-type bottle would have been much better suited.

Makes your skin glow, but wasn't my favourite.

I was very excited to hear that Neutrogena had a new line called Bright Boost. The majority of the time I am consistently desiring dewy or glowing skin - don't we all? And, I felt like I got just what I've always wanted with this line. I received for free the Illuminating Serum, along with a few other of the products of the line, and promise to provide an honest review of my experience.

First off, I was quite surprised at the consistency of this serum. It is more of a cream-like texture and wasn't opaque. The serums I am used to are not like this (they are more liquid and gel-like), so this was new to me and it was something I did not like. However, although I think it did a good job at improving my skin texture by making my skin glow, I wouldn't say that it helps with reducing "imperfections" as it claims to be though. I did like that it absorbed quickly, and that it has little sparkly reflectors making you glow.

What I did not like, and the reason for me voting less was the dropper. I really liked that there was one, but felt like it did not work effectively for me, and I personally think this was due to the other thing I did not like -which was the consistency of this serum. Whenever I pulled out the dropper from the jar, there was so much of the serum stuck to it and every time I tried pumping little would go in. I ended up using the dropper more like a spatula to put the product each time.

I felt like this was more of a cream than a serum. I also feel like given the price tag, I wouldn't say it is necessary or a must-have. I would recommend it, but personally I do not think it would be something I would want to use again. If the dropper and texture of the serum were to be improved I would definitely like it much better.

Not sure if this step in necessary

I was using the whole product line at the same time, so it's hard to tell if each individual product was effective. I have been using the serum twice a day, but I'm not sure if it does anything or if it's the other products.

The dropper didn't really work for me most of the time. I liked the idea of it being a dropper, but whenever I pulled it out of the jar it was so covered in product that I used it more like a dipper.

It absorbs quickly, but it does leave my skin a bit oily and shiny. I'd like to try the product line without this product to see if it makes a difference.

Gives you glowing skin!

This was my favourite product in this skincare line. The serum itself is pretty, it’s light pink and reflects light. It really gives your skin a beautiful glow. I will use it all the time. The bright boost illuminating serum is a beauty must have!

Bright and bold!!!

This serum works so very well. It has a wonderful fragrance and the texture is great. I find most serums extremely sticky and take quite a bit of time to absorb and dry, this pleasantly surprised me. You don't need a lot and it absorbs well. It has a slight sparkle to it which I personally like as it adds to the glow. After using it for a mere couple of days, I felt the difference. My skin started to even out in tone, was smoother and looked healthier. My makeup also looked better because my skin looked and felt better. I have used this with the whole collection and have found that all of them together have made a huge difference to my skin - it glows!!!

Great serum!

I expected this serum to be greasy and sticky but it wasn't at all. The consistency is much nicer than what I expected! The serum has a shimmer to it which makes your skin shiny but not greasy looking. It overall does what it says it will do. But if you're looking at trying out one of the products from this line, I'd recommend trying the gel cream first. I'm not sure I see the necessity to use both products unless you want to use a cream and serum in your daily skincare routine.

Hydration and glow for the win

This serum has got to be one of my favorites ever! I usually use a vitamin C serum to get a nice healthy glow and for moisture, but this one has got me hooked! As with all the products in this line, there is a mild scent that is soft and does not longer. The dropper on the bottle works perfectly and distributes the right amount; I use 2 squirts for my whole face and neck. The serum really spreads thin and covers. lot of skin, without feeling too thin and watery. It makes my skin feel so heavenly and adds a beautiful natural glow!

Pretty Good Serum

This is a pleasant to use serum, the texture is very slippery and it feels like a primer going on. The scent is nice and it absorbs into the skin somewhat quickly. I did not notice any brightening effects after a week of use.

Bright boost

This product is part of a four step routine. It smells great, feels great and looks great. I would absolutely recommend this product. It has aided in brightening my skin, and I’m really happy with this product.
