I haven’t delved into the world of Neutrogena for a long time, but recently discovered their new Hydro Boost range – there are body care products and facial skincare products to try out. As I have quite a few skincare products I have been testing lately, I decided to opt for the body care products, and opted for a couple which I thought sounded right up my street, although I definitely want to give the facial products a whirl at a later date.
Neutrogena launched a new line of pretty good gel cream body lotions. Gel creams are water-based moisturizers with a formula sort of halfway between a watery lotion and a thick cream. Most of the time, they’re slippery, jiggly and translucent, and their main selling point is how quickly they absorb into your skin. You won’t have to spend forever and day working them in. They’re also usually packed with humectants, which are capable of holding many times their own weight in water, like hyaluronic acid in the case of the Hydro Boost line, and silicone, for that signature slippery feeling.
Hydro Boost Body Gel Cream comes with a pump in a scented and a fragrance-free version that both quench thirsty heels and shins equally well. If you’ve worn any of the clean, crisp fragrances, you’ll love it, as will anyone who smells you, and I have proof!
This is a moisturizing is on target! My skin is dry, dry, dry, and it feels happy, happy, happy when I use it. It should be sufficient for fall and winters all over the country, and I bet it would even handle more extreme weather.
Body balms are usually the depth of the moisturizing world, but this one doesn’t work anyway near as well as the Body Gel Cream does for me. It’s slightly thicker and heavier than the Gel Cream, which I thought would mean more moisture, this one completely sinks into your skin. A refreshing, ultra-light, whipped formula which absorbs super quickly into the skin, this has also been formulated with Hyaluronic Acid to hold that extra moisturization. Almost instantaneously, my skin did feel much more replenished, and after a couple of uses, my skin looked healthier too. I tend to use more as a night time treatment, and you could even use a thicker layer to wake up to extra nourished skin. As it is such a cooling product, I would definitely recommend this as a holiday essential after a day in the warm sunshine . It melts into the body as it is a balm rather than a cream and is even suitable for the most sensitive of skins. Scent-wise, it is also a very light fragrance, but also quite refreshing upon application, so for those who hate overpowering scents in products, this one will definitely not disappoint.
Like the Body Gel Cream, it absorbs almost immediately to leave my paws moisturized and soft. Not slippery or greasy. And it has the same clean, oh-so-fresh scent as the Body Gel Cream.
