    Simply Wow!

    This sunscreen blew me away. I didn't expect to like it this much since the price is so cheap. I received this complimentary and I can't explain how much I fell in love with it! It smells great and applies so well underneath makeup. It doesn't feel sticky like other typical sunscreens and it hydrates your skin all day.

    I was impressed with this sunscreen!

    I received the Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel Sunscreen SPF 50 for free as part of the ChickAdvisor review club. This product impressed me because it isn’t greasy or sticky like some sunscreens can tend to be and yet it was still moisturizing. For this reason, this is a great sunscreen to wear under make-up. The sunscreen that I was using previously on my face was a little on the greasy side and that changed the way my foundation looked when it was supposed to have a matte finish. The texture of this sunscreen is a little on the watery side but it blends into the skin seamlessly. One of the downsides of this product is its strong scent (and it does last for awhile), but it doesn’t bother me to the point where I can’t wear it. The quality of this product far supercedes its strong scent. The other downside for some may be the price as it retails for $15.99 for only 88ml.

    Overall, I would recommend this product to those looking for a sunscreen that will moisturize their skin without leaving a greasy/sticky residue. As I mentioned earlier, this is a great sunscreen to wear under make-up. If you have any sensitivity to scents, this might not be the sunscreen for you because the scent does not fade away.

    Revolutionary Sunscreen

    I received this product for free from ChickAdvisor and Neutrogena in exchange for my honest opinion. I unfortunately have an unknown allergy to something in many brands of sunscreen so I have to be careful when using sunscreen. Thankfully I have never had a bad reaction to Neutrogena so I was very excited to have the opportunity to try this product. My first thoughts regarded the scent and how it was a pleasant light scent that did not resemble regular smell of sunscreen. The product was not as thick as other sunscreens, which I really liked. It soaked into my skin fairly quickly and did not leave any white residue like some other products. Unfortunately I received this product before summer here in Canada. Three days after receiving the product we actually had snow and this week we had an ice storm. I was hoping for some nice weather to test the protection, although I will have to update my review when summer decides to show up. I normally do not purchase products with high SPF due to having naturally tanned skin, although I look forward to seeing the results. Overall, I really liked this product and will continue using it when the sun appears!

    Protection et hydratation

    J’ai adoré l’idée d’avoir un protecteur solaire que va booster ma hydratation. En plus, il ne laisse pas la peau grasse , ni collante.

    Vraiment parfait pour l’été. En effet, il y a un odeur d’été!! Coup de coeur

    Non-Pore-Clogging Sun Coverage

    I had the opportunity to try Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel Sunscreen SPF 50 courtesy of ChickAdvisor. I have VERY fair skin, so sun protection for me is a must, but I hate putting the greasy stuff on my face. I was very pleased with this product. It has a light, pleasant scent and spreads easily and evenly. It soaked quickly into my skin, leaving it feeling clean and moisturized. It does not feel like a typical sunscreen. I cannot comment on its effectiveness as far as sun-protection as I haven't been able to use it in hot, sunny weather. But I will definitely bring it with me to Europe this summer!

    Gel sunscreen!!!

    I never tried gel sunscreen before - overall I feel that neutrogena did a good Job. Texture isn't too thick - after applying... My skin felt nice. Didn't have an oily texture... Refreshing! I like the fact it had spf 50... Protecting me from uva and uvb - a plus in my book! Going to try it while I'm on vacation - against the strong sun!

    This sunscreen is so light and effective

    I have been using this sunscreen as my daily moisturizer; my skin looks and feels so soft, hydrated, and amazing. I've been able to go out in the sun without having to worry about additional protection, due to its SPF level. My skin can still breathe beneath it and it doesn't feel greasy at all.

    I highly recommend it!

    Lightweight sunscreen

    I got this for free from ChickAdvisor. I have been using this for about two weeks. So far, so good! This is a very lighte feeling sunscreen. Feels much lighter and less greasy than other sunscreens, which are definite pluses. No real breakouts so far, but only time will tell on this front. Since this sunscreen absorbs fast and does not leave an oily greasy finish, it is perfect to use under makeup.I like the scent too, it is different than other sunscreens.

    Mixed emotions about this

    I received this as a free product to try and I have to say, I have mixed feelings about it. It does not smell like sunscreen that I normally use. This can be both a good or bad thing, I found the smell when first applied reminded me of alcohol, once it was on that smell went away.
    It is non-greasy but it left my skin feeling strange. By this I mean I could rub my fingers together and they squeaked. It did leave my skin feeling hydrated so that's always a plus.
    However I did still get a bit of a burn when using it (was outside for about an hour, it says reapply after 2 hours). Reapplying every 2 is kind of annoying.

    Effective sunscreen

    I usually use spf 70 sunscreen but this I found to be effective with 50. We haven't had much sun where we are therefore can't really say about much of effectiveness. The smell of it is pleasant and summer like. I'll probably buy it depending on the price.
