Neutrogena Hydro Boost Facial Cleansing Gel, Hydrating Gentle Face Cleanser and Makeup Remover with Hyaluronic Acid, Hypoallergenic Formula, 7.8 FL OZ

The Neutrogena Hydro Boost Facial Cleanser is a must-have for anyone looking for a gentle yet effective cleanser! It leaves my skin feeling clean, refreshed, and hydrated without any tightness or dryness. The gel formula lathers well and removes dirt, oil, and makeup effortlessly while keeping my skin soft and smooth. This is definitely worth trying.

To be honest, I was always the type of person who didn't put any thought into "skincare" during my younger years (even though I have had a lifelong addiction to cosmetics). In my mid-30s I finally started developing a skincare routine with various serums, moisturizers, masks, etc but still didn't think too much of cleansers...in my mind, something that just sat on top of wet skin for a few seconds only to be washed off again just didn't seem like it was an important part of my skincare routine because the cleanser isn't kept on the skin for very long. I basically lived on makeup removal wipes for my entire 20s and 30s, which I now know aren't so great for skin. Hindsight is 20/20.About 6 months ago, shortly before I turned 39, my lifelong "very oily" skin suddenly turned dry. Like, almost overnight. I have always had a "grease pit" for a face, with large pores and very oily t-zone as well as horrendously oily cheeks - I never used a moisturizer previously because my skin was so oily all the time. Now, my skin suddenly was parched and tight feeling and had flakey patches that just wouldn't go away, it looked horribly embarrassing and made my foundation look gross. Looking back, I think I may have used too many facial masks or treatments (in an attempt to fade some dark spots and even out my skintone) and damaged my skin barrier and turned my skin "sensitive". I began to realize that the makeup removal wipes probably were drying my skin up even worse, and started to use actual cleansers instead of wipes.I have an Ipsy subscription so I had a few brand new sample/travel sized cleansers sitting around under my bathroom cabinets. A few of them dried my skin up even worse, but 2 of them seemed to actually hydrate my skin after use...so at that point I realized that cleansers really DO make a difference in a skincare routine. The travel sized cleansers didn't last too long before running out and the full sized versions of those cleansers were pretty expensive and I'm on a tight budget, so I ventured out to find a less expensive hydrating (and sensitive skin friendly) cleanser. I have used several Hydro Boost products in the past and had a good experience - and I'm a sucker for the particular color of blue used for the Hydro Boost line - so I chose the hydrating cleanser to try. To my surprise, it hydrated my skin even better than the 2 more expensive brands I had previously used in travel size!After using the Hydro Boost cleanser, my skin does not feel "tight" and dry (which is a problem I've had with many other cleansers). I still moisturize almost immediately but I do appreciate my skin not feeling uncomfortable between cleansing and moisturizing. After adding this cleanser to my new routine (which includes a few other skincare items from more expensive brands) my skin feels almost as good as new, my flakes have all vanished. The other new skincare items were starting to repair my skin, but it wasn't until I added the Hydro Boost cleanser to the routine that my skin fully seemed to be fully repaired. I skipped the Hydro Boost cleanser for a few days to see if it really made a difference and my skin became slightly dry again with a few flakes, so I knew at that point that this cleanser was really making a difference - it takes the tightness away, hydrates, and also seems to make my skin more smooth. I also love the scent!The fragrance is a little strong so if you are very sensitive to such things you should probably get the fragrance free version of Hydro Boost, but I just love the scent personally, although it does seem to disappear immediately after the cleanser is washed off. I am going to stock up on this cleanser, and I really hope it is never discontinued.

I have used Neutrogena face washes in the past and like them a lot, however, this item is exceptionally good. It foams up nicely (creamy) and my skin feels clean and not dry after rinsing. I usually use a makeup wipe along with a face wash to ensure I remove all makeup from my skin, however, with this product, it does such a good job of cleaning my skin, I do not need to use a secondary product. I recommend it!

Works. My face feels clean and not dried out.Ordered twice. Once it leaked a little and wasn't wrapped well.

I use this for both morning and evening cleanse. The smell is nice - reminds me of a fresh morning. Cleanser goes on smoothly and had a little lather, which is fine with me. It removes my eye make-up also. I always double cleanse, only because I want to make sure that the spa I use comes off. I just don't like that it is packaged in plastic. Would prefer glass, however, I understand the cost may be an issue because at the price point it is at currently, it is worth it. Will take this cleanser when I travel.

Okay... let's be real. ALL face washes shud be treated by listening to your face. Yes, listening. Meaning, if it works great 2x a day for 1 person who ALSO might have oily face. You'd probably think, this shud work on me!! Wrong. I think this face wash is fantastic, gentle, smells good, cleansing, etc. However, I literally use it 1x a wk. If I use it everyday, my face will wilt away. 🫠 So plz plz PLZ, losten to ur face. Start one every other day. Then inc. If u notice ur face burning, immediately rince off with cold water. Do NOT wash with warm to more warmer water. So bad tmfor the face.

I was using a more expensive department store brand but decided to give this a try. This face wash is way better than my previous one. It is definitely hydrating. My face feels so soft and smooth while I'm washing my face and it's like my skin is drinking it in. My face is so soft after using it. It also does not cause any break outs. Even though it feels smooth going on it does remove all my makeup. I highly recommend this product.
