    Bring on the sun!

    I was sent this product for review purposes courtesy of ChickAdvisor. I'm one of those people who forget to use sunscreen on the regular and really need to start doing so. I only really use it when I'm at the beach, at the pool or when I know I'll be in the sun for an extended amount of time. To be honest, I'm not one to be out in the sun a lot so I don't use it as often. However, I know it's important to incorporate it anyways as we need all the protected we can get from harmful UV rays. I've tried sunscreens before and just wasn't a fan of how they felt and smelled - yuk. I have a few holy grail products from the Neutrogena Hydo Boost line and was excited to give this a go. I do appreciate the high SPF of 50 it contains, that seems like a good number to me. Upon trying it, I did find it absorbed into the skin nicely and that it had a really pleasant scent to it. Nothing overpowering, at least to me. Kind of smells like baby power, but not as pungent. It's fresh smelling is what I should be saying - I'm horrible at describing these things lol! This was sent to me during the spring season, so I wasn't able to give it the full go and see how it performs while being out in the sun but I will definitely be putting this to the test more so when summer comes around and when I get to the pool. I did feel it left my skin feeling hydrated and love the added hyaluronic acid!

    Great Sunscreen

    This product is really nice and hydrating on the skin and it is a great sunscreen for the summer. It's very light and it smells really good too. It doesn't leave any white residue that some sunscreens do leave behind. It isn't sticky on the skin either. I would highly recommend this!

    Gel sunscreen

    I tried this product for free to test. I found the gel to be a lovely texture for applying, it didn't leave a oily feeling on my face and this made for easy application of make up. Although it didn't leave a distinct white residue, I did notice a pale layer after I applied it to my face. I liked that the gel didn't have a overpowering sunscreen scent.

    Left my skin protected yet soft

    I got the NEUTROGENA HYDRO BOOST WATER GEL SUNSCREEN SPF 50 free for product review. I liked that it was 50spf, left my skin protected while it didn't feel too heavy or greasy. I will buy this product again.

    Extra face protection

    This sunscreen was effective at preventing burns but I did not find it helped to prevent dryness. I find it difficult to keep your skin moisturizer when in the sun all day and was hoping this would add some hydration protection but I didn’t find it to stand out anymore than a normal sunscreen.

    Non-greasy, good coverage

    I unfortunately haven't had time to test this sunscreen in the real sunshine, as it is still relatively cold outside! However, it feels light and non-greasy on my skin, and goes on relatively smoothly. I like that it water-resistant, as I sweat when I'm warm and like to go to the beach a lot! Will have to test further in the summer!

    Good Sunscreen

    I received this product for free as part of the Chick Advisor Product Review Club. I really like the packagaing of this sunscreen is great because I feel like the bottle is smaller and slimmer than most sunscreen bottles, therefore when travelling (either on vacation or somewhere local) it's easy to pack or even put in your purse. I found this product to be pretty good coverage, it wasn't greasy and didn't leave my skin feeling sticky like some sunscreens do. It still does have a sunscreen smell and you really have to work it in to get the white cast to come off - I found this on me being darker more so than on my boyfriend who is relatively pale. Overall, I would recommned this to friends, not sure if I would buy it again there's nothing super special about it.

    Good product,but not great value

    This product is not a bad product. I'm someone with very pale skin and therefore I burn quite easily. To me, this product is similar to all other sunscreens. It helped protect me from. The sub like any other sunscreen however it is 5$ more expensive than the other stuff I usually use. It works very well but again, was disappointed in the value of the product.

    Hydrating and high SPF for dry, sensitive skin

    This product is perfect to use on the face as it doesn't feel greasy and heavy like regular sunscreen. It can be used in lieu of a regular moisturizer during the summer months when you want to keep your skin protected. You can apply makeup over it with no problem, and if you need to reapply during the day it won't make you look greasy or oily. I like the scent, it is not overpowering. I received this product in exchange for review, but overall, I would purchase this product, but my only gripe is that my skin does get pretty oily/shiny in the summer so I don't know if I need the extra hydration along with the SPF protection. #gotitfree #neutrogenahydroboost
