Overview

Someone with dry skin who wants light coverage gets a water gel tint from Neutrogena that hydrates as it evens tone. Hyaluronic acid adds moisture, and the doe-foot applicator dots it on for blending with fingers, sponge or brush.

Hydration and sheer color together suit dry skin that looks cakey under heavier foundation. Coverage tops out at medium, so strong discoloration still needs concealer.

Who it's for

No makeup makeup days and dry winter skin suit a hydrating tint. Those needing to hide acne marks or redness fully should use a fuller foundation.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Hydrating water gel formula
  • Will not clog pores
  • Dewy, natural finish
Cons
  • Coverage limited to medium
  • Dewy finish shines on oily skin
  • Shade range is small

Performance notes

The water gel spreads thin and releases moisture as it is blended, which is why it does not settle into fine lines. Hyaluronic acid holds water at the skin surface for a plump look. Layering a second coat in spots builds coverage without a heavy feel.
