Moisturizer Review: Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel

Today's review will be for the Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel 

Availability: As this is a drugstore item it's hard for me to speak on the availability or price point of it in your neck of the woods. That said it's available for purchase at ulta.com ($22.99 for 1.7 oz) and target.com ( $7.99 for 0.5 oz or $16.99 for 1.7 oz).

Would I buy this?: Maybe - but at target.com. :P

What is this product designed to address?

According to target.com:

What is the texture like?

This feels like a watery gel, as its name suggests. 

Is it scented?

It has a clean, slightly sweet scent.

My overall experience/comments on the product:

  Th The texture is absolutely sublime! I love how quickly it absorbs but I also love that my skin is left feeling hydrated, soft, and supple without any tightness or dryness. This also feels really refreshing when you apply it which I imagine would be really nice for the summertime as its a bit cooling - you really feel a "splash" of hydration when you apply it.

Please let me know if you have any questions or comments.
