What the gurus are saying

The takes on this one split noticeably. One reviewer found it dried out mature skin and felt difficult to blend, questioning whether it truly performs as a skin tint. Another praised the formula's evidence-based ingredients and Neutrogena's research approach. Anyone with drier or more mature skin may want to patch-test first, since hydration needs vary widely here.

"This was way too drying a formula on my mature skin, definitely difficult to spread and didn't perform like a skin tint in my opinion."

"One moisturizer I absolutely love for oily skin friends is from nutrium their nice camide 5% gel cream because first of all it is a gel cream that absorbs very quickly but at the same time keeps your skin hydrated"

"Neutrogena has a fragrance-free version of the old gel cream now. This one has natural moisturizing factors and ceramides and it's a thicker consistency. This is a great lightweight facial moisturizer for oily or dry skin."

"This is a great product by the way. The Neutrogena Hydro Boost Hydrating Tint looks good. I'm a fan of that."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Sunscreen filters

Sun protection is the best evidenced way to slow visible ageing, and the filters are what does the work. Mineral and chemical filters both protect when a product is applied thickly enough and often enough, which is where most people fall short rather than on the choice of filter.

Humectants and emollients

Ingredients like these draw water into the surface layers and slow how fast it leaves. The evidence is for comfort, softness and hydration rather than for changing the structure of the skin.
