HYDRO BOOST Serum Reviews

Neutrogena is a brand I always enjoy when I purchase but I often forget and get distracted with other brands.
Neutrogena hydro boost serum is a very light serum that slides on easily every night under moisturiser.
It is easy to apply and feels very hydrating and doing the job you want it to do.
30ml is a great size that still lasts as you don't need a lot.

While this wasn't the worst product I have tried because it didnt cause any adverse reactions, it didnt really do anything for me either. I initially purchased this as I was struggling with dry patches on my face and needed an extra boost of hydration and the lady at priceline recommended this. I found it did not do anything to help my dry patches and was a little too heavily scented for me, it wasnt overwhelming but it was definitely noticeable. I think for $30 I wasn't expecting major results but I really didn't see any results at all even after using it for two weeks. I think that this could be a nice lightweight moisturiser for people with really oily skin as it has quite a nice texture but it didnt work for me.

When it comes to skin care products I will try anything as long as it is for people with dry skin. I read a lot about Neutrogena's various Hydro Boost products so when I saw the serum at a clearance price at Coles, I decided to give it a go.

I love everything about this product from its packaging to the serum itself. I love the blue coloured plastic bottle, the pump dispenser that dispenses only a small amount and the clear plastic protective cap. It look has a modern look to it and I like the overall lightness of the total product.

The serum itself is a milky fluid which when applied to my skin, goes a long way. It instantly makes my skin feel hydrated and smooth which is why I like it. I don't mind the smell of this serum either.

It may not be the right thing to do but I have been using this serum prior to and in conjunction with a Nivea Moisturiser during the day and a Palmer's Night Cream at night for quite a few weeks and I feel that it has improved the overall appearance and texture of my skin. My skin texture is beginning to look finer, fresher and more youthful with its continued use. It's definitely made a difference compared to not using this product at all.

This product certainly gives my skin an instant boost of hydration when I use it. Hence the name "Hydro Boost"; quite clever of Neutrogena really.

I'm glad I purchased this product and feel that it deserves the 5 Stars I give it.

Love this product a little bit goes a long way and it is not oily and it doesn't sit on your skin, it absorbs quite quickly leaving your fave feeling hydrated and soft. The packaging is great as it is an amazing blue and sometimes when you have alot of skin products you find your self searching through the draw or shelf but being this blue you don't need to search as it stands out amongst everything in packaging and I think preformance..

This product had so much potential, I love skincare products with hyaluronic acid and it's in a great hygienic pump bottle. However, it has a strong artificial perfumy scent, it was so bad I almost had to wash it off. I would try this product again if the scent was changed or removed all together.

Oh I wanted to love this so much but I didn't.

The Neutrogena hydro boost serum comes housed in a long blue tube with a pump top. I love the packaging- its sensible, air tight and protective. As well as being pretty. Plus its three times the size of a normal serum.

One pump delivers a thick white serum. Instantly I am hit with a rich sweet serum that I found overpowering. Its strong and I found it lingers for a long time and took over my other products. I could smell it all day. I'm not sensitive and I like fragrance but this is too much for me.

This serum is thick and I found it heavy. It smooths on to the skin nicely and it absorbs well, but I feel heavy. This serum under moisturiser feels really heavy and thick- in fact I could go without moisturiser with this one.
I love the idea of hyalouric acid and olive leaf extract, and the progressive release over the day. This is lovely and I love hyalouric acid to death.

I have combination skin prone to dryness, dry patches and dehydrated skin as well as breakouts. Using hyalouric acid is a must because it stops this and leaves skin plump. This was to heavy for me. Others have said it isn't but for me it is. It didn't really do much for my dry patches on my nose and under my eyes.
That being said makeup does go on nicely and sits well. I also like the slow release during the day.
It says its non cosmegenic but I got three huge massive pimples and I started to develop blackheads.
Honestly if this product wasn't so strong in fragrance I would maybe consider it but I just didn't. I would like this too if it wasn't so thick and heavy, no need for a hyalouric acid to be so thick.

I have tried a few things from this line from Neutrogena and like the rest of them I really enjoyed the hydro boost serum.

- Once on your skin, because it is so light it sinks straight into your skin.
- The serum has a scent to it which is quite nice and light, however if you don't like strong scents then you may not like this product.
- The serum is very light feeling, almost like water which makes it perfect to use on its own or underneath a moisturiser as an added boost of hydration.
- The hydro boost has a very cooling which would make this perfect for the winter time.
- the packaging is very nice and luxurious feeling, despite the very affordable price tag.

This product is perfect for someone who has a dry skin or someone like me who always ends up having patchy dry spots after i apply my foundation.

This comes in a sleek blue bottle. Looks very luxurious. Love the fact that it comes with a pump. One pump was just the right amount for my face. The serum looks like a liquid lotion rather than the usual serums. It is thicker than other serums and white in color and the smell is not too strong. It's just a clean and crisp fragrance to it.

It glides on your skin like silk and gets absorbed so quickly. My skin just sucked the serum in, i felt my skin so much hydrated right after the application.

I also used this at night before going to sleep. Sometimes i used this on its own without a moisturiser and my skin still felt moisturised and hydrated

Foundation glides on perfectly over the serum. There's no patchy spots on my skin when i apply this under the foundation.

After a few weeks of application i definitely feel that my skin is more hydrated and more plump. Sometimes i find myself feeling my cheeks every now and then. No exaggeration here, it does feel smooth as silk.

If you need to give your skin a plump and hydrated look then this is definitely the serum you should add to your skin routine.

I was really excited to be part of the trial team for this product as I love Neutrogena and was looking for a new serum to try.
The packaging is really lovely and simple - clean and classic looking white box, Love the blue bottle with pump.
Bottle is a hard plastic which wont break if you happen to drop in in the bathroom and that's always a plus!
Using the pump means no waste - although the product is very light and silky and goes a long long way!!
Initially I pumped a few times and found I had enough for my face/ neck/ decollate AND hands!
The serum glides on really beautifully, has the slightest scent that doesn't linger and is absorbed really quickly. It does feel a bit "tacky" for a few minutes but as soon as it is absorbed your skin just feels dewy.
I used it morning and night after my usual cleansing and toning - my skin feels more hydrated and looks visibly smoother.
At first I had a few break outs but that was minor and has passed.
Seriously, people have asked me what I've done because my skin looks so good!
