NEUTROGENA® Hydro Boost Gel Cream

I don't understand how this has so many good reviews, perhaps it varies on the skin type but this has completely ruined my skin! I literally looked like I got third degree burns on my face because my face was so red and swollen. it was like this for hours and would not calm down. I figured this was due to something else and tried it again, and this time it broke me out intensely along with having red patches and dryness everywhere and lasted a few days. completely horrific, I was scared to look at myself in the mirror because of how bad it looked. my skin isn't even that sensitive and it's quite dry. It's unfortunate because I have another Neutrogena moisturizer that works great. this is just a horrible product but not a horrible company. please either take this off the shelf or try to dictate what it is that makes so many people get inflammation and burns! I can see from previous reviews that i'm not the only one that had that experience.

I purchased the complete line of serums and wrinkle creams from Neutrogena. I regret I cannot use these serums and creams on my face. I gave it a month to make certain it was these products that were causing my face to break out which I had not experienced before using them. I also got eye infections in both eyes and broke out in styes in both eyes. I had to purchase special eyedrops and ointments for these infections. I also experienced constant itching and burning around my eyes and mouth. There is something in these creams/serums that I have an allergy to and cannot use them.

Had high hopes for this product, however it has broken my skin so terribly. I regret buying this completely and I have great skin but my concern is the dryness. Around the 4th-5th day of using this I woke up to a burning red face with a prickly rash all over my forehead, cheeks, chin, everywhere. My skin looks CHEMICALLY burned. My cheeks are burned to the touch and the rash all over my forehead is disgusting. After doing a lot of review reading I learned I wasn’t the only one with this reaction. Please don’t take the burning sensation as “it doing it’s job” on the first tries. I will never go back to this product, and will stay away from Neutrogena forever.

I have oily and acne prone skin and it didn't make my acne worse, so that was good. However, my skin often gets so dry after a shower and when it's windy outside since I am in a dry climate. When I apply foundation, dry patches on my cheeks are quite visible. Maybe this product hydrates my skin and does leave a smooth texture, not greasy at all but I do not believe using this product only helps your skin better or moisturized enough in winter. Forgot to mention, I'm personally not a fan of the scent of this product. It goes away eventually after you apply it to your skin though.

I had very high hopes for this cream but it didn’t not moisturize my skin at all. I gave it 3 weeks and no change. A waste of money for me.

I absolutely love this product. It feels sooo nice when you put it on and isn’t too heavy to cause breakouts. I’ve reccomended it to many friends and they all love it! Might not be moisturizing enough for those with dry skin in the wintertime but absolutely amazing in summer!! Please get this you won’t regret it!

I love the the version of this product for extra dry skin. I found a two pack of the regular formulation and was so disappointed it had fragrance in it. I will be returning it. I don’t understand why fragrance is included in skin care products when so many people cannot tolerate it.

This stuff is just lovely. I got a little trial pot in the US on a trip, and I’m so glad I did. I am normally super sensitive to fragrance, but this not only didn’t bother me, I actually love the scent! I put it on before bed and it’s like a little me-time. It’s so relaxing and refreshing, like a drink of water for my skin. It’s a bit pricey but a little goes a long way, so it should last a good while. Finally a moisturizer that feels good and actually makes a visible difference! Small pores ftw.
