What the gurus are saying

A lightweight gel that hydrates without heaviness makes it a strong match for oily and combination skin dealing with dryness at the same time. The cleanser foams easily, removes makeup and sunscreen well, and sits gentle enough for the eye area, earning praise as a second cleanse step. One thing to know: the fragrance may not suit everyone, and the bottle size is smaller than some prefer, though it works as a travel cleanser if that fits your needs.

"The Neutrogena Hydro Boost Hydrating Cleansing Gel is a good option if you want more of a gel texture or if you have combination skin or even if you're oily. It feels really lightweight, but it's still going to hydrate, which is going to make it really nice if you're oily or combination but still dealing with dehydration. It's really easy to apply. It's a really lightweight cleansing gel, foams really nice, easy to spread. It does a good job at removing your makeup and your sunscreen, also hydrating at the same time. The key ingredient here is the hyaluronic acid for that lightweight hydration."
