Neutrogena Hydro Boost Hydrating Cleansing Gel 6 oz

Overview

A lightweight, hyaluronic acid facial cleanser, Neutrogena's Hydro Boost Cleansing Gel is sized at 6 ounces and works as both a face wash and makeup remover for all skin types. It is labeled non-comedogenic and hypoallergenic.

Unlike foaming cleansers built around sulfates, this gel is formulated soap free and oil free, aiming to clean and remove makeup without stripping moisture. Hyaluronic acid and glycerin are the two ingredients doing the hydrating work here, which is the main reason it gets picked over drier-feeling gel cleansers. The 6 ounce size is worth noting if you are comparing per-ounce cost against larger cleanser formats.

• Hyaluronic acid gel formula
• Soap free and oil free
• Non-comedogenic, hypoallergenic
• Cleanses and removes makeup in one step

Who it's for

Fits people with normal to dry skin who want a gentle daily cleanser that also removes light makeup. Less suited to anyone needing a deep-clean formula for heavy makeup or oily, acne-prone skin, since it is designed around gentleness rather than strong surfactants.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

The gel texture is designed to rinse clean without the tight, stripped feeling that soap-based washes can leave, since it skips sulfates in favor of glycerin and hyaluronic acid for moisture retention during cleansing. Being non-comedogenic, it is formulated not to clog pores, though how well it removes makeup will still depend on how heavy the makeup is.
