What they flagged

Discontinued, was Walmart exclusive only

What the gurus are saying

This overnight cream earned strong praise for delivering visible hydration and helping with rough texture, though it has been discontinued or become hard to find as a Walmart exclusive. Reviewers loved it as a reliable nightly moisturizer with a pleasant texture, and one noted it even helped with keratosis pilaris despite lacking active exfoliants. If you can track down a bottle, it may be worth trying, but availability is the real challenge here.

"At night, use a rich hydrating cream with ingredients like peptides or ceramides to help repair your skin barrier and provide overnight hydration. Neutrogena's Hydro Boost Night Cream is a good option."

"I should probably petition Neutrogena to come back with that overnight hydration gel cream in the Hydro Boost line, that was like a Holy Grail a few years ago for me, and then I discontinued it, it was only available at Walmart."

NEUTROGENA VS TRADER JOE'S HYALURONIC BODY GEL CREAM 🤔 DERMATOLOGIST @DrDrayzday

"They had another moisturizer in the Hydro Boost line, a fragrance free body moisturizer that was only sold at Walmart, their overnight hydration cream. I loved that and they did away with it. I really liked that product too, I think it had polyhydroxy acids in it. It was good, it was really good, they need to bring that back."

"This product really helped my keratosis pilaris, but they went ahead and discontinued it. [...] It was a Walmart exclusive. It didn't have any active keratolytic, which can really help with keratosis pilaris, but it was still pretty good."

"Last year I was really driving on [...] the Neutrogena Hydro Boost Overnight Hydration Cream [...] and I loved it to bits. I have one unopened, but I can't find it anywhere now and I think it's been discontinued or was a Walmart exclusive."

What the evidence says.

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

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.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is an antioxidant, and it is often in a formula to keep the other ingredients stable rather than as the active itself. It pairs well with vitamin C, though on its own the evidence for visible change is limited.
