    Still unsure

    Unfortunately, I haven't had much sun exposure since receiving this product as we have had very cloudy, rainy and cold weather. With that said, I enjoyed the scent and texture of this product, it was also very lightweight. I have a very oily T-zone and I was able to wear this product comfortably underneath my makeup. I look forward to using this product again in the summer. I received this product complimentary to try.

    good

    I was a bit worried when I saw how high the SPF was that it would leave me skin looking ashy but I am proud to report I did nothing of the sort. also it wasn't eccessively oily either

    One of my fav sunscreens

    I use Neutrogena sunscreen all the time but have never purchased this one before. I received it for free for my review.
    I really like it. I'm a red head with pale skin and found this sunscreen to work pretty well.

    Hydro Boost water gel sunscreen

    I received a full size product of the neutrogena hydro boost water gel sunscreen as part of the product review club. The product comes in a squeezable blue bottle. A little actually goes a long way i usually use a dime size amount and that's more than enough for my entire face. I ususally use ombrelle on my face and I found the neutrogena hydro boost gel less greasy/oily so it is perfect for every day use or for use under makeup. The product is SPF 50 and waterproof so it's also good for a day at the beach or summer weather. The product is around 15.99 which is how much most facial sunscreens go for.

    Some nice features, but not worth the price

    So I got this product free to try from Chick Advisor and honestly I was torn on how to rate this product. Here are the things I loved about this product: It does feel really good on. It's cool when you put it on, which would be nice in the hot weather. It soaks in quickly and feels really light once on. It isn't sticky or heavy like some higher SPF sunscreens - you almost forget that you are wearing it because you can't even feel it once it's on. I also love that it's an SPF 50 - often the higher the SPF, the less I like the feeling of wearing it, but this gives great protection and feels nice on.

    When you squeeze it on to your hands it looks more like a light blue cream than a gel - but this is really a non-issue. It goes on nicely and you don't end up with white streaks.

    Here is what I don't like about it: I found it to have a really strong smell - and it wasn't a smell that I liked. Since we have had a really cold April here, I really only used it on my face as I wasn't wearing t-shirts or capris outside yet, and honestly I found I had to wash it off because the smell of it on my face was driving me crazy. I'm also not sold on the value - at Walmart you pay $15.99/88mL. For my normal brand (which I love), I pay about $9.99/240mL. This makes the Neutrogena sunscreen almost 5X more expensive per mL than my normal brand, and honestly I don't think the positives are worth this cost.

    So as I mentioned at the beginning of my review, I wasn't quite sure how to rate this product. It works well and has some great features, but is it worth the cost? Not to me. I will definitely use up the rest of what I have - although I will use my normal sunscreen on my face and this on the rest of my body where hopefully the smell won't be an issue.

    I use it on my 5 yr old!

    This last week was super sunny and this sunscreen stood up to the task! I put It on my 5 year old in the morning and by the end of three days of Sun she still remains burn free. It applies evenly and smells great!

    Tried 1000 sunscreens - love this one

    I am very pale and would not consider myself to be a sun worshipper at atll. I can't be in the sun long or I get fried.

    My makeup has SPF but I realized recently that SPF in makeup does almost nothing... wow. I've been trying sunscreens so often in prep for summer, my condo looks like a pharmacy. I've even bought sunscreens from Japan (no joke) which were really good.

    This product is VERY good. It is non-greasy and the most important, it doesn't pill over serums or makeup like my other ones can. Scent is nice and it absorbs fast. I like it enough I'll stop buying Japanese sunscreens, as they are more expensive and take longer to get.

    La creme solaire qui va me faire aimer me cremer cet ete !

    Wow ! #gotitfree je suis en amour avec cette creme solaire, elle sapplique tellement bien, legere et peu parfumee ! Elle ne laisse pas de fini collant ou gras sur ma peau. Sa teinte legerement bleutee ajoute un petit quelque chose de special a ce produit ! Et le tube est dun format parfait, il ne prend pas trop de place dans le sac de plage. Jai vraiment limpression que je vais adorer me mettre de la creme solaire cet ete avec ce nouveau produit ! Jai toujours detester cela ! (Je nai pas pu tester son efficacite au soleil pour le moment, car jhabite au Quebec et le beau temps nest pas de la partie). Merci Neutrogena ! #ProductReviewClub
