Neutrogena Hydro Boost Hydrating Cleansing Reviews Summary

Texture and Consistency

Pros:

• "I like this simple, gentle cleanser. Leaves my skin feeling nice and smooth after wash."
• "This is really nice I use it with a cleansing face brush think i would prefer this to dispense as a moose, however it’s works really well, my skin feels hydrated and fresh."
• "The gel lathers with water and is said to clean off stubbon dirt, oil and make up."
• "It applies so nicely, watery gel at first until rubbed onto the skin, creates like soap. Leaves my skin feeling clean, hydrated and so soft!"
• "I liked the consistency, it was really easy to work into the skin."
• "First it foams up lovely on wet skin."
• "This comes in a generously sized pump-action bottle 200ml."

Cons:

• "The top is very hard to open the bottle is not of good quality had a hard time opening it."
• "Nothing came out and the top broke off."
• "However, I was quite disappointed when it arrived as i tried to use it, but when pressing down the top, nothing came out."
• "Pump doesn't work at all so had to decant to another bottle."
• "cheap enough but avoid- try the french brandswhat does an american brand know about target styled potions for the face, the gel is too thick, vaseline like"
• "However I find it very difficult to rinse off entirely, it doesn’t give a fresh ‘clean’ feeling that a gel wash usually would."
• "Pretty useless. It makes your face feel really tight after use - not what its meant to do."

Skin Feel and Hydration

Pros:

• "I have been extremely pleased with this product. It leaves my skin super soft and hydrated, plus it is super clean."
• "After using it my skin feels soft and hydrated, which isn't always the case with other gel cleansers I've tried."
• "Fourthly my skin felt really soft and smooth."
• "I’ve used multiple face washes and after a while my skin would go back to bad, but this has kept my skin constantly looking great."
• "Leaves my face feeling smooth, clean and refreshed."
• "Leaves my skin so soft and hydrated."
• "This face wash leaves my skin feeling clean and refreshed. It has a great moisturising affect."

Cons:

• "I’m not sure if this is the real thing.. I used on my face and my face is on fire and looks burnt!"
• "It doesn't actually work that well. In my opinion, it actually made my skin worst than before."
• "I've used this product two days in an row and its made my skin so much dryer then before."
• "For my dry and sensitive skin, this product is horrible. It makes my skin even drier and itchy."
• "Disappointed. I have combination skin (35 YR old), and it totally dried my skin up, and made it impossible to wear any foundation because as soon as I did, it made it look like I had a layer of scaly dry peeling skin."
• "It’s so irritating, it caused a massive rosacea and acne flare up that lasted weeks even after I stopped using it."
• "I think it’s more suited to an oily skin type and probably won't buy again, searching for something a bit less drying."

Fragrance

Pros:

• "I absolutely Love the smell. I always smell my hands after I’ve cleaned my faced cause it smells so good."
• "I love the smell, amazing!"
• "Was pleasantly surprised by its incredibly soothing smell!"
• "The scent is amazing and calming and leaves your skin feeling supple."
• "It has a lovely natural mineral smell that smells gorgeous and really wakes you up!"
• "The best thing I like is the scent."
• "Great face cleanser. Smells like Johnson’s baby bath!"

Cons:

• "There's not much of a scent. It's adequately fresh not overwhelming or particularly nice."
• "They have changed the scent though and it is not as nice as it used to be, it is still a fresh clean smell but its a little more artificial/chemically than before."
• "Don't like the smell it is very strong and my skin didn't feel fresh or cleansed after using it."
• "I am not usually bothered about the fragrance of any product but this was way too strong."
• "I originally bought this because it seemed to be well-reviewed on a skincare group I am a part of. I did not realise there would be such a strong scent to the face wash."
• "I am happy as it washes off my make up properly but the smell is horrible. It smells artificial plastic or like rubber...."
• "Very lightly scented, I’m not a great lover of the smell but as it’s quite light it’s bearable."

Value and Packaging

Pros:

• "I only use a small pea-sized amount in the morning so I expect this 200 ml bottle to last a good few months, which makes it very good value compared to the Clinique face wash I sometimes use."
• "You only need to use a tiny amount so it lasts for a long time and is, thus, excellent value for money."
• "Very useful, not too strong on the scent so it’s tolerable and value it lasts 2-3 months along with it being an absolute bargain!"
• "The 200ml size of the container will last a fair amount of time, and the 7.99 price point is quite reasonable."
• "Absolutely love this product, and so much cheaper than buying at supermarket."
• "First time ordering this from amazon, ordered yesterday and arrived today. Fab service."
• "This is a must product for me: I keep purchasing it because it does a fantastic job."

Cons:

• "I don't understand why the packaging is so bad as I thought a neutrogena product would have better quality and wouldn't lead to my item breaking."
• "The packaging is attractive and easy to use, and one pump is enough for your whole face."
• "The packaging looks nice, with quite a minimal feel and style to it, which is also really functional."
• "It didn’t come in any packaging it was just in an amazon envelope."
• "At nearly £8.00 a bottle it is expensive but if you have that sort of money to spend on a cleaning gel then Neutrogena is Hydro Boost is the gel for you!"
• "I bought this on the recommendation of Caroline Hirons and I was disappointed... it's incredibly drying."
• "Ruined my skin. Made my skin really tight and red. I’ve since started working as a beauty consultant and can’t begin to explain how bad this is for your skin."
