What the gurus are saying

The gurus found this to be an excellent lightweight hydrator packed with hyaluronic acid that absorbs quickly, layers seamlessly under makeup and actives like retinoids, and works especially well for oily or acne-prone skin. Those with very dry skin may find it needs pairing with something richer in colder months or evenings, though it shines as a summer morning moisturizer or under sunscreen. A fragrance-free version is available for those sensitive to scent, and a small amount goes a long way.

"Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Cream or the water gel are very plumping because they are filled with hyaluronic acid. If you apply that to damp skin, it's going to help plump up your skin and temporarily hide those fine lines and wrinkles very well. That's one of my wife's favorite moisturizers."

How to Fix Dehydrated Skin: Best Hydrating Products of the Year
"Neutrogena Hydroboost has done a great job with their hydrating cream. It's good for those with oily to combination skin. If you want something that's very lightweight, layers well with makeup, layers well with your retinoid or your vitamin C serum. It's packed with hyaluronic acid. So if you want a nice hydrating cream just to seal all that in, go with the Hydroboost by Neutrogena."

"One of my favorite lightweight moisturizers is Neutrogena's Hydroboost line. She loves this moisturizer to layer with her vitamin C serums and her retinol. You also get that nice boost of hydration from the hyaluronic acid content in these moisturizers."

"This is a nice lightweight moisturizer if you have oily skin. It feels weightless, absorbs very quickly. The Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel has a nice familiar smell and looks really pretty with the blue color, though if you don't like fragrance you can go for the Hydro Boost gel cream instead, which looks exactly the same but has no blue color and no fragrance. I love the texture of the water gel. I did a comparison video before with the water gel versus the gel cream, and I think the gel cream doesn't absorb as well as the water gel, so the water gel definitely is nice. You can use this morning and night. A small amount goes a long way, so this lasts a long time."

Approved
"Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel is a lightweight moisturizer that really is oil-free, non-comedogenic, delivers long-lasting hydration without any feeling of heaviness or residue on your skin. It absorbs super quickly and provides long lasting hydration. It contains hyaluronic acid, glycerin, and dimethicone. Dimethicone gives it a little bit more weight, but it's also great as an emollient that helps protect your skin without being heavy, and it provides a smooth finish. If you have super oily skin, go with another option. If you have combination or combination dry skin, the Neutrogena one would be a great option. This one comes in a fragrance and non-fragrance formula, so if you have sensitive skin, go with the fragrance-free one."

Derms pick of Japanese Skincare swaps for Cult-Favorite Western Products | Dr. Jenny Liu
"This one is so good. If you're looking for any lightweight gel moisturizer that hydrates without heaviness or stickiness, she is it. I mean she just provides so much hydration, really ideal for oily skin, really all skin types, especially during the summer time. I mean I love using this even though I have more like dry combination dry skin. In the summer time great to use in the morning under a sunscreen. It won't peel. There is a fragrance and non-fragrance version, so just make sure you get the right one if you are sensitive to fragrance. Ingredient wise it's got hyaluronic acid, glycerin, dimethylone, so really helps to seal in that moisture barrier without adding any heaviness to your skin."

Drugstore moisturizers for winter $35 or less | Dr. Jenny Liu
"This moisturizer is fragrance-free so great to use on everyone even if you have sensitive skin. It contains a wonderful blend of ingredients including hyaluronic acid, ceramides, natural moisturizing factors and amino acids that really helps to plump and hydrate the skin and keep your skin hydrated throughout the day. With the water gel texture it's lightweight and fast absorbing. I think it's definitely better suited for the winter time for those with more oily and combination skin. It's also non-comedogenic so definitely suitable for acne prone skin as well. If you're more like me that's on the drier side or live in somewhere that's super dry and cold I think you can definitely try this out for the morning. For me personally in the evening I like something a little bit more creamy more nourishing but definitely this formula I loved using in the summertime as my morning and evening moisturizer."
Korean vs Western Skincare | Dr. Jenny Liu
"The Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel is an amazing product that I feel like can benefit most people. I love the fact that it is a moisturizer that really hydrates your skin without leaving much residue. It is fast absorbing, really great. This is one of my go-to recommendations for those with oily and combination skin to use all year round morning and evening, and for those with more dry skin like myself, I love this one in the summertime where it's more hot and humid. Ingredient-wise, it's got epidermal lipids that focus on skin barrier health, so ceramides, cholesterol, and fatty acids that we know is really important in helping to build that moisture barrier along with hyaluronic acid and glycerin, wonderful hydrating ingredients to help keep that skin barrier hydrated and functional. So again, wonderful moisturizer, highly recommend."

It also comes in a fragrance-free version so options for everyone, and comes in a water gel cream that is great if you have more dry skin to use in the morning to help keep your skin hydrated but still feels great and looks wonderful and elegant under sunscreen and makeup."

"The Neutrogena Hydro Boost is my favorite body hydrating product. I've used it for years, years, I love it. I'd recommend the fragrance free version, but be careful because it can be very hard to find. It's a really small type and sometimes they don't even put it in the description, so make sure you're getting the fragrance free version if you don't like a scent for your body lotions."

A Dermatologist's Summer Skincare Guide | Top Products Picks
"One of the moisturizers that I like to recommend for summertime is the Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel, the watery gel, not the cream. This is non-comedogenic, meaning non-pore clogging, and it really goes on like a gel but it provides this great hydration overnight. I have one in my medicine cabinet and I love using it during the summer time. The main ingredient is hyaluronic acid, which is a humectant that will help your skin hold on to and retain moisture. It's just a really great formula that's also really affordable and you can find it at every drugstore."
Approved
"Neutrogena reformulated their Hydro Boost line and this is the new version which is fragrance free. They added a lot of amino acids which are nice to see, amino acid skin identical ingredients in this new formula. So they took something super simple that people loved and added some good ingredients to it and I'm really happy with it. The texture and everything else is nearly the same. They just added some nice ingredients. Typically Neutrogena they don't go out of the way to impress customers like me but this did impress me. I was pretty happy with it."

Dermatologist-approved Tips For Radiant, Glowing Skin
"I personally have used as well as recommended Neutrogena Hydro Boost moisturizers. Their new Hydro Boost water gel fragrance-free, oh my gosh, I have been trying this out for the past couple of months and I am in love with it. It is so good and I'm not being hyperbolic. It's a fragrance-free super hydrating gel. It has hyaluronic acid, a dermatologist recommended ingredient that loves water, it's a humectant so it helps with improving the moisture content of skin's dynamic barrier. It also is formulated with natural moisturizing factors including amino acids and electrolytes. These ingredients help to restore skin's moisture and complement the skin's natural hydration process. This formula absorbs really quickly into the skin. It doesn't leave any sticky or greasy residue. It deeply hydrates. The great thing about this formula is that it offers six times more hydration for a longer lasting healthy radiant glow versus untreated skin."
*BEST* Lightweight Moisturizer For Summer
"The new fragrance-free water gel represents a substantial improvement upon the old formula. It has a variety of amino acids that are part of skin's natural moisturizing factors. It's not really solely now a hyaluronic acid focused moisturizer; it has some other things going on that are beneficial for moisturizing the skin as they are naturally present in skin's outermost layer. These help with hydrating."
Ulta Beauty World 2025 Was OUT OF CONTROL
"I'm a big fan of this body gel cream. It's a great value. I even use it on my face. And then, also was talking about the water gel with the natural moisturizing factors and ceramides. As a side note, those of you who are sensitive to niacinamide, check these out because they don't have niacinamide."
*NEW* Skincare Finds At Costco
"This is the fragrance-free hydro boost water cream with hyaluronic acid and natural moisturizing factors. Neutrogena tends to not include niacinamide in their products, which is good for those of you who are sensitive. This also has ceramides which are good for the moisture barrier."
*NEW* Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Cream And Water Gel Review
"It smooths out little fine lines around the eyes and helps to boost overall radiance through the improved moisture content. Good news for those of you who are sensitive to niacinamide and cannot seem to escape it in your skincare: neither of these products has niacinamide. I personally think these are an upgrade in comparison to the old formula. I actually prefer the consistencies and textures of both. They're a little bit more elegant, and you can see that they tweaked it to improve upon not only the ingredient profile and the performance of the product but also the aesthetics and the texture. If you're someone who has really oily skin and you find that many moisturizers just feel too greasy or oily, or you're worried that they might aggravate your acne, try the water gel. That might be a good place to start, whereas if you have more mature skin, dry skin, atopic dermatitis, eczema, or a problem with the barrier, you might find that you want something a little bit richer."

"The gel is a lot more lightweight in comparison to the new cream but also really good and it has natural moisturizing factors like Arginine Proline and Urea. It does not have ceramide in it but it's really good. This is a lot more lightweight, so this would be a good one actually to use in the morning because it is more lightweight, so when you put your sunscreen on over it it's less likely to peel. I've been using this at night and I'm really enjoying it. The product does have fragrance but it's pretty mild, like it's not headache inducing or anything. Obviously if you're allergic to fragrance you have to avoid it, but I don't mind it in this."
Using My Red Light Mask Again | Skincare Vlog
"I've been mostly using the water cream but I also really like the water gel. Neutrogena used to have the Hydro Boost extra dry that I loved so much, it was fragrance-free and they discontinued it, which is a bummer, but in its place they came out with the water cream and the water gel, both of which are fragrance-free, which as a side note Neutrogena has been doing a lot more fragrance-free, which I greatly appreciate. I like this cream though because it has the natural moisturizing factors whereas the old Hydro Boost gel cream did not. The texture is kind of interesting in comparison to the old Hydro Boost."
*NEW* SKINCARE AT TARGET WE NEED TO DISCUSS 🛍
"Neutrogena has launched a new Moisturizer in their Hydro Boost line that is really good. This new water gel is really nice, it's a lot more lightweight in consistency and gives like a burst of hydration. The hyaluronic acid in it improves moisture content in the top layers of the skin and that's really beneficial for the Skin Barrier because when your skin gets dry, the top layers of the skin become dehydrated. Moisturizers really help step in and literally boost the function of your Skin Barrier and get things back on track."

"This is the new reformulation of the Neutrogena Hydro Boost gel cream that I used to rave about. They just continue it. This has ceramide in it, which is a new addition, really nice. It really does offer nice sustained hydration, great around the eyes too. I have found it as a moisturizer for temporarily smoothing the look of fine lines through moisture retention, which at the end of the day is the name of the game when it comes to the bulk of what skincare products do for you."
Top 10 Skincare Deals At Sam's Club | 2024
"This is a Hydro Boost water gel, and it's also a great option for mature skin. It's very, very light, almost like a serum in consistency. It's free of fragrance. It has urea, which is good for softening dry, rough skin texture and hydrating the skin, gently exfoliating and smoothing the skin surface. It has amino acids, which are important for skin's moisture barrier. Ultimately, using a product like this if you have mature skin can help keep the skin barrier turning over a little more efficiently, because that declines with age and that's why you get rough texture as you get older."

"Neutrogena seems to steer clear of niacinamide, and I frequently find myself recommending Neutrogena to those of you who are sensitive to niacinamide. The Hydro Boost hyaluronic acid moisturizer is like a gel cream, very hydrating and lightweight. This was one that I recently finished up."
*NEW* Drugstore Skincare Finds 🛒
"I am currently using the Hydro Boost water gel a lot. I really like it. It's got natural moisturizing factors, lipids and hyaluronic acid so it's really good for dry skin, winter skin, but it's nice and lightweight too. It has urea in it which is really good at hydrating and softening dry skin and it has glutamic acid in it as well as some other amino acids which are good for improving moisture content."
*BEST* Hyaluronic Acid Gel: Olay Vs Neutrogena
"The water gel is a lot more lightweight, but I love this especially for the summer months because it is a pretty lightweight moisturizer, but does what it's supposed to do. Provides really good hydration and keeps the skin moisturized for a good long while. They claim 48 hours and I believe that. I've been to Neutrogena headquarters and I've done the transepidermal water loss testing on myself with this product and so it really does do the trick. It has glycerin, hyaluronic acid of course, no niacinamide. So for those of you who are niacinamide sensitive, this does not have niacinamide. Amino acids, which are part of skin's natural moisturizing factors, help with that water retention as well."
*NEW* Skincare At Dollar Tree NOT TO MISS | 2024
"They have a version of Hydroboost Water Gel here, hydrating gel cream. This one has fragrance. The new Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Cream and Water Gel they have fragrance-free options. This is probably fine as a moisturizer provided you're not allergic to fragrance. The hyaluronic acid is helpful for hydrating the skin."
Skincare In Your Nose | Skincare Vlog
"Currently I'm using and loving the new Hydro Boost water cream. The texture and everything is just completely different. I kind of adore this. I prefer it to the other one when it comes to, I feel like I'm a broken record but I'm telling you a lot of the heavy lifting of your skin care products comes down to the moisturizing aspect of things."
Skincare Products I Used Up | 2024 Skincare Empties
"The water gel is a lot more lightweight in consistency compared to the water cream but they have very similar ingredient profiles. They are both free of fragrance and they have natural moisturizing factors like urea for example along with hyaluronic acid. So not only do they help reduce water loss through occlusive ingredients like dimethicone but they really help with hydration by those natural moisturizing factors. Urea is also a really good ingredient in a facial moisturizer, not only is it hydrating but it helps to encourage gentle exfoliation, smoothing out the skin surface and ultimately improving barrier function. I really like these newer formulas. I think they have a nicer texture to them and I also like the addition of the natural moisturizing factors. I really think it takes the moisturizer to another level in terms of performance."
