    May be good for oily skin

    I received a sample for free with the Neutrogena sun kit.
    I have combination skin and my chin area is very dry. The gel cream does a good job of temporarily hydrating the dry area but I don't feel like it lasts all day. In fact it usually lasts about an hour. It absorbs quickly into my skin and it feels good. I love the texture of this gel cream but for the price and quality I would not repurchase.

    Good but not Great.

    I received a small sample of this product to try and review. This is a nice light moisturizer good for oily skin. The texture of the gel-cream is very light but still very moisturizing. It has a nice light fragrance, it feels nice and cool when you apply it to the skin, and it doesn't make your face feel sticky. However, I don't think it would be moisturizing enough for the winter months, especially if your skin is very dry. Overall a good product for the summer months but not so great for the cold winter months.

    It's OK

    I received a sample of this product for free as part of the Product Review Club. I didn't think this cream was anything special. Yes it is lightweight and it does absorb relatively quickly but I didn't feel or notice a whole lot of chance on my skin after using it. I also wasn't a huge fan of the scent. I wouldn't buy this for myself or recommend it as I don't see the hype of it, there are other creams that are much more moisturizing than this one.

    Nice Product But Not Worth the Price

    The hydro gel cream is $20.00, and although I liked the product, I don't think I would spend that much for it.

    It instantly melts into your skin and makes it FEEL soft, but I don't think it necessarily hydrates or moisturizes your skin. My skin was soft to the touch, but it still felt a little tight.

    I have normal/oily skin, but I didn't notice that it left my skin feeling hydrated.

    I think it'd be a good moisturizer for a smaller price point, but it's definitely not worth $20.00.

    Not a fan.

    I was not a fan of the Hydro Boost gel cream with the SPF component because I just could not handle the scent. It is too strong to the point where it burned my eyes and if I put the product too close under my eyes it would sting. I don't like the consistency either how it is more creamy rather than a gel component. Would definitely opt for the original gel cream sans sunscreen! Feels better on the skin and no uncomfortable scent.

    Just ok

    After receiving this for free to try I can honestly say I’m slightly disappointed. The overall effectiveness was good. It did leave my skin feeling more moisturizer throughout the day. However I really wasn’t fond of the overall texture. I found it was too watery and if it got too close to my eyes, not actually in my eyes , it caused my eyes to water and sting.

    Not really sure I needed it

    I received this gel free for review purposes. This gel features a nice clean scent and goes on easily. It feel more like the consistency of a serum than anything else. It dried quickly and a little was easily spread through the entire face. While using I didn’t really see or feel much difference in my skin texture. It just didn’t feel like it added much of anything to my skincare routine. It might work well for those with really dry skin but I didn’t see it do much for me.

    Not as Hydrating as I Hoped

    I was chosen to try the NEUTROGENA HYDRO BOOST GEL CREAM for free in exchange for my honest thoughts and opinions from ChickAdvisor and I was so excited as I struggle with dry skin - especially in the winter months and with the changing of the seasons. Unfortunately this product did the opposite of what it claims to do. The hydro boost gel cream claims to instantly quench dry skin and keep it looking smooth, supple and hydrated all day. The product also claims to be wearable under makeup so I opted for this choice in hopes of combatting dry skin without having to add an extra step into my beauty routine.

    The first thing I noticed about the gel cream is that it has a really nice scent! It smells fresh and light without any chemical presence. The product dispenses as a milky gel with a slight blue tinge that spreads easily and smoothly on the skin. It absorbs SUPER quickly but leaves the skin very smooth and soft to the touch. It absorbs so quickly that I added another layer in hopes of creating a more moisturizing effect, but my skin swallowed that layer up too. I didn’t sense any moisturizing effect at all unfortunately and my skin actually felt really dry. Upon applying my makeup about 5 minutes later, it felt even worse. Usually my liquid foundation spreads easily and evenly to my face but with this gel cream as the base, it was the opposite... honestly a nightmare. My skin was so dry and my dry patches were enhanced. I have now used the entire sample (a weeks worth) and have noticed the same results for each application. It did make my skin feel smooth and did not cause any breakouts but for $20 a bottle it should add WAY more moisturization then it did. I would not reccomend this as a way to boost or moisturize skin and I would absolutely not recommend this as a base for makeup.

    Neutrogena Hydro Boost Gel Cream is very nice!

    This gel cream I found was very moisturizing without being sticky. The smell was okay. I would buy this product and recommend to family and friends.

    No idea.

    I received a small sample of this cream which allows me to try only for a few days. It's an okay moisturizer but I didn't get enough to test it properly. It's a touch too lightweight for my dry-normal and mature skin so I have to add a couple drops of facial oils for the extra boost of hydration.
