Neutrogena Hydro Boost Body Gel Cream, 400 ml

It's a lightweight gel cream that easily turns into a wet, watery consistency when you start to rub it in. It's hydrating and in my experience works the best when rubbed into freshly washed, damp skin. Any sort of stickiness or residue type of feeling that you could get from this product will easily not be an issue if applied in this way. If you wear makeup and you know what a silicone based primer feels like or smells like and you don't like that feeling on your skin then I don't recommend this. If your skin is really dry this is really nice it doesn't leave a heavy feeling on your skin like a petroleum jelly like consistency but it does have a slight tackiness that does die down eventually but is very minimal when your skin is damp when applied. Also I feel like ... MoreIt's a lightweight gel cream that easily turns into a wet, watery consistency when you start to rub it in.

Also I feel like this might not be enough for someone who has severely chapped, dry skin. It's a good product, but in that case I would suggest double moisturizing by maybe applying this first to quench your skin and hydrate it, but then put something more moisturizing on top that will help lock everything in.

I use this body moisturizer on my face at night and I really enjoy it! It's very lightweight, so I use it alone in the summer but in the dryer months I'll put a thin layer of something with a lot of petrolatum over it to help out with occlusion. I've never tried the face moisturizer from this line since it's more than I want to pay for such a small amount, but they both boast the same "gel cream" texture and use glycerin as their primary humectant. It looks like the face one does have more dimethicone, so maybe that one would make a better makeup base than this. Since I use this mainly before bed, that doesn't matter to me, although I think I have applied light makeup over it with no trouble. One picture attached is when I applied the lotion to bare skin in natural ... MoreI use this body moisturizer on my face at night and I really enjoy it!

One picture attached is when I applied the lotion to bare skin in natural light, and the other is when I applied it after my nighttime skin routine with a hydrating serum underneath (how I usually use it). I honestly don't need the serum with this lotion, but I'm trying to finish it before it expires, so I do it anyway!

I love the hydro boost line from Neutrogena. I was excited to try this product because I was looking for a body cream that had a gel formula, something that is lightweight and very hydrating. This product claims to be instantly hydrating to the skin. Also contains hyaluronic acid, which is a very hydrating ingredient and helps lock moisture into the skin. This is a good body lotion. Pros: -No fragrance, which is a plus if you are sensitive to fragrance or want to wear a perfume and only smell like your perfume and not a mix of scents. -Lightweight. This doesn't feel like a heavy thick cream on the skin. -bottle with a pump is super convenient, no mess application. -gentle for sensitive skin Cons: -felt greasy on my skin.

This was the only thing I didn't like about it. Most gel moisturizers don't leave a greasy feeling. This left an oily feeling, which is something I personally really notice and it makes it hard to find a moisturizer since most are like that.

I have terrible eczema. If a flare is triggered I can go from looking normal to looking like I've had a pot of boiling water thrown on me in no time. I have to carefully monitor every single product in apply to my skin and hair and watch my diet because anything can trigger a flare. My trigger is unknown but fragrances in lotions have triggered it before. So I avoid them and try to buy very moisturizing lotions as well. Many, many lotions do NOT work so I'm always very skeptical. I bought this on a lark expecting another loser but listen to me: it is AMAZING. It works so efficiently that I have not had a SINGLE tiny eczema flare AT ALL since I started using it. Every other lotion I've used has only managed to keep a flare at bay for a very short period of time but I ... MoreI have terrible eczema.

Every other lotion I've used has only managed to keep a flare at bay for a very short period of time but I can see the patches returning after a while. I can feel the itch starting. But with this one my skin is CLEAR. The patches are just *gone*. I wish I had bought this long, long ago so my suffering could have been alleviated sooner. It's the best lotion out there for those of us with eczema. I hope you try it if you are a fellow sufferer!

I got this body gel lotion after using the Hydro Boost face gel, and have only been using it for less than two weeks. The first thing I noticed was the great scent; I know a lot of people don't like fragrance, but I enjoy some fragrance as long as it smells good, and this definitely smells good to me. It absorbs very quickly into the skin, and doesn't leave a greasy feel- almost feels as if there's nothing on your skin at all! I routinely put this on my entire body after showering. The only possibly negative thing I've noticed is that my hands have started getting random cracks again, however I credit that to a personal problem due to having unusually hard to treat skin on the hands. So I'm not sure if it's actually this gel cream causing it, as it could be due not ... MoreI got this body gel lotion after using the Hydro Boost face gel, and have only been using it for less than two weeks.

So I'm not sure if it's actually this gel cream causing it, as it could be due not using my regular hand cream as often as I should. I do figure it's a combination of that plus the gel cream due to the fragrance. Overall, though, I love this and will continue to use on my body!

Excellent, showing results almost immediately!

My daughter let me try her Neutrogena Hydro boost whipped body balm that comes in a tube and it was the most wonderful cream that I ever tried. It had a pleasant odor, did not feel greasy, and improved the dryness of my skin after just one or two applications. The problem was the price of it had more than doubled and it was out of stock almost everywhere I have tried to find it. So I bought Neutrogena hydroboost body gel cream in a pump dispenser and it is very good also. It has a very pleasant odor and really shows results quickly, making my skin feel silkier right away. I would prefer the tube only because it’s contents are a bit thicker, but it is definitely not worth the price compared to the body gel cream in the pump.

HATE this !!! My new dust-collector AVOID !

BIG nooooo for sensitive skin! I thought I would get this because it’s so light & could be a lotion I could apply daily & not hate the icky feeling you get from lotion . This stuff is horrible . It still give you that nasty lotion feeling when you put it on your body. I wouldn’t even call this lotion; it’s like 90% water with ingredients that make it thicker and into a gel-like consistency along with preservatives and anti-microbial ingredients It also has a VERY strong odor, emphasis on VERY. If you are interested in purchasing this I would suggest you twist off the top and give it a whiff to see if that’s what you want to smell like all day This did nothing for my skin except make it incredibly dry . I tried used it even after the shower, on a strict regular basis ... MoreBIG nooooo for sensitive skin!

It’s literally not a lotion If you have sensitive skin I swear: 90% water 10% fragrance ; it’s SO irritating to the skin the amount of fragrance in it This produce has been complained about so much about the fragrance that they recently came out with a fragrance free version of it (lol, goes to show) I would save your money because this is a big bottle & you’ll be stuck with a big bottle and not know what to do with it

Literal perfection

I'm sad that none of the Walmart stores close to me carry this anymore. I really hope they keep carrying it online. My skin is dry on the outside and dehyrated on the inside, exacerbated by diabetes. I can feel this lotion penetrate my skin better than literally anything else I've ever tried, including lotions and creams made for diabetics. It really does last a long time once applied, too. I live in Michigan, so in the winter I'll still top it with a thick cream like Nivea to prevent winter chapping, but this lotion on its own, extreme weather aside, is a solid 10. I really hope to see this product make a comeback in stores. I havent found anything that works nearly as well, and I'd be devastated to see this gone completely.

This has replenished my skin!

I have such dry, sensitive skin and have tried looking for so many products to hydrate me without burning my skin, causing purple blotches, or drying me out even more. THIS IS PERFECT! Its so hydrating, i have been using for 4 days and my skin looks so glowy and has a natural sheen to it, i am in love.My makeup has always really badly stuck to my forehead. It has always gone so dark and ashy looking and since using this that problem has gone away! My make up sits perfectly now and i feel so much better and can finally get back into make up like i used to.I'm going to try on my underarms and see if it works to combat the tough tan that always sticks there and wont budge.Does leave a slight residue on your face but when youve suffered from dry skin for so long and ... MoreI have such dry, sensitive skin and have tried looking for so many products to hydrate me without burning my skin, causing purple blotches, or drying me out even more.

The price is unbeatable for the size and the quality of the product. Will use and recommend this to everyone for the rest of my life!

Works for my diabetic hands & feet!!

Greatest lotion!!🧴 I also use the Neutrogena Hand Cream, but it’s a bit greasy. This is on another level! Wanted lotion that hydrates my feet, non greasy, or leaves you shiny. Has greatly improved hydration for my diabetic feet/hands & all day! I was having pain with cracking & dryness. I find works best out of shower to lock in on towel dried feet, or body. However, I apply anytime. Can’t find the smaller travel bottle ($6.50 😳) anywhere, so I bought 2 or 3 oz travel bottle & just refill for my bags. Pricy, but it’s worth the comfort. Glad I found this product!
