Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel is a light, intensely hydrating face moisturizer for normal to combination skin, sold in France as Hydro Boost Aqua Gel. Its fresh water-gel texture carries the Hydro Boost NMF complex, a blend of hyaluronic acid, amino acids and electrolytes modeled on the natural moisturizing factors found in the skin. Non-greasy and non-comedogenic, it also suits sensitive and blemish-prone skin.

Key Benefits

  • Instant hydration: the light aqua-gel texture gives the skin a quick, fresh burst of moisture.
  • Stronger moisture barrier: amino acids help protect and reinforce the skin barrier, so skin holds on to its hydration.
  • Supple, smooth skin: the face feels soft, smooth and comfortable.
  • Non-greasy finish: a non-comedogenic gel that sinks in without a heavy or sticky feel.
  • Makeup-friendly: it can be applied after a serum and before makeup.

Key Ingredients

Hyaluronic acid helps the skin retain water and boosts hydration, and this formula holds more of it than the previous one. Amino acids are known to protect and strengthen the skin barrier, while electrolytes help the skin absorb the other ingredients. Together they form the Hydro Boost NMF complex.

How to Use

Use Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel twice a day. Take a small amount and smooth it evenly over a clean face and neck until it sinks in. Apply it after your serum if you use one, and before makeup: the light gel leaves no greasy film, so makeup goes on smoothly afterwards.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which skin types is Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel made for?

Neutrogena designed Hydro Boost Water Gel for normal to combination skin, and states that it also suits sensitive and blemish-prone skin. Its light water-gel texture is non-greasy and non-comedogenic, so it hydrates the face without leaving a heavy or oily feel.

How do I apply Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel?

Apply it twice a day, smoothing a small amount evenly over a clean face and neck. Neutrogena notes that it can be used after a serum and before makeup, so it slips easily into an existing routine as the hydrating step.

Is Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel the same as the Hydro Boost Aqua Gel?

This jar is the French edition, labelled Hydro Boost Aqua Gel. Its formula and ingredient list are those that Neutrogena France gives for the Aqua Gel, and they may differ from the water gel sold in the United States. Check the full ingredient list above before use.

What does the NMF complex in Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel do?

The Hydro Boost NMF complex combines three kinds of ingredients. Hyaluronic acid helps the skin retain water, amino acids help protect and strengthen the skin barrier, and electrolytes help the skin absorb the formula. Neutrogena modeled it on the natural moisturizing factors that the skin loses over time.

Does Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel contain fragrance?

Yes. Parfum appears in the full ingredient list of the French formula, alongside the blue colorant that gives the gel its color. If you prefer to avoid fragrance, read the full list in the ingredients section before choosing this moisturizer.
