Hey Science Babes! Today's video is a review of the Neutrogena Hydro Boost product line. I dive into the cleansing gel, hydrating serum, cream gel and eye cream. I also talk about the type of hyaluronic acid used in this line.

This line cured my acne and oily skin. I’m 29 and I’ve been struggling with acne since 12 and nothing ever worked. I love this line because it’s affordable and is effective.

Did the reg blue scented one help or the one for extra dry skin with no fragrance?! I was stumped on which one to get!!

gels are better for oily skin and creams are better for dry skin, but keep in mind that everyone is different.

I have severe acne (had) but take expensive creams and pads to keep it at bay. I also literally have to use it to clean my face before the products or else I break out like mad. It can't be too drying since the cream and pads are such. Love the product.

super grateful for this channel, even though i’m not an avid makeup user, it’s great to be able to have insight on what people are putting on their skin.
I love your content! You're so informative without making everything sound overly complecated. Thank you!
I actually used this line when I was younger and for some reason stopped but, I re discovered it recently and I’ve fallen back in love! Thank you for reviewing this I always appreciate your opinion!❤️❤️💛💛
As an esthetician I appreciate this review so much! Not many people realize that ingredients are a HUGE part of taking care of your skin. So thank you for explaining the importance! 10/10
I'd love to see a review of Glossier's products, especially the milky jelly cleanser!
Love your tips!! Thanks for sharing your scientific knowledge to the beauty community 🥰💕
This was in my recommendations and saw that I already use these products. I'm glad it is approved because it makes my skin feel amazing.
Someone else already commented this but please review CeraVe 🙂
I’ve just starting using Neutrogena products and I don’t mind them at all, and as for fragrant, I don’t mind that at all ... thank you Kenna, great review. 💕🎄🌺🎄💕
I’d love a series on how to make some basic makeup at home! I tried a few recipes in the past but didn’t have much success and I quit. Also would love to see chatty GRWM, chill kind of videos :)
Hi there! Been using this for six months, and it’s been beneficial to my dry skin. I hope 🤞 this is a good review!
Thank you for this practical and useful review! Exactly the content I am looking for!
The gel cream for "extra dry skin" is fragrance and dye free. I have oily skin, but use it and it works amazing without the scent!

Hi, does this have sticky feeling or like something sticks after you apply this product?
Thank you for being so thorough and taking the time to do this review. I want to get my sister moisturizing products, and I have limited knowledge (1 class of intro to chemistry 😅) on beauty ingredients. I'm excited to subscribe!
Thanks for the gel cream review! It’s what I use and I was wondering how good it was!
Another idea for a video is to review store brand vs name brand. Specifically CeraVe vs. Walmart's Equate. Equate seems to sells several dupes at a much lower cost and I would like to know if the name brand is worth the added cost.
Hi Kenna, can u please review “the ordinary” specifically their more powerful/popular products such as the hyaluronic and lactic acid seriums, their glycolic acid, vitamin c, skin buffet and moisturiser. I hear a lot of mixed opinions on their products and some say it’s almost worth getting one or two of their products such as hyaluronic acid or skin buffet and then splurging on a drunk elephant vitamin c because of its stability over time. I’d not only be interested in your opinion but I actually hold it in very high regard due to your expertise and honesty. Thanks love from England! X

Kenna I started doing the massage with avocado oil you recommended and its MAGICAL! Thank you so much, I've been doing it for a month now and my skin feels much more moisturised and my nose is clearing up! You're an angel!

You have dry skin? Didn't your skin break out?
will you do a run down on best skin care at the drugstore? I have high end favs but if I can find an affordable alternative that’d be better
I picked up the gel cream for extra-dry skin and it’s dye and fragrance free. Works great for me!
Please do a video on eye creams, what to look for, good ingredients and suggested brands!
Yay! I’ve been waiting for this! Now a review on CeraVe would be bomb. 🥰
They make a gel cream with no fragrance as well! I was pleasantly surprised when I was looking to repurchase the original. I didn’t have any issues using the fragrance but I have been trying to eliminate fragrance in my skincare.

I usually don’t mind a little bit of fragrance in skincare if it’s just a touch but the smell of this is horrible it smells like chemical washed linen, it’s not the right smell for skincare anyways it should be something gentle and soothing at least not detergent smelling. Ew :(

They have another moisturizer that’s exactly the same it has the same packaging it just says for dry skin fragrance free except without the colour and perfume it’s the one I get because my skin is sensitive

Thank you for reviewing this!
Thanks for the thorough review. I have been looking at this line but wasn’t sure what to pick up. I think I will give the gel Creme a go. I would love your thoughts on The Ordinary.
I love this line!! I use the gel cleanser then the serum/vitamin boost before I use the gel cream. I have dry skin and it helps keep it healthy! I don’t use the eye cream as I have the tatcha eye cream.
Thank you so much for this review, it was nice and informative! Could you please comment on the comedogenicity of the gel cream? I've been tempted by it before but I'm terrified of it breaking me out 😣
I love that stuff especially the hydroboost body gel cream sensitive skin. It's no die or perfume and I use it on my face too.
Thanks Kenna. I use the Hydroboost gel cream for extra dry skin because it doesn’t contain fragrance or dyes. I’d like a review of the Hada Labo line of products.
I wish you reviewed the Sleeping Cream too. Also I would love you to review the Hada Labo Alin care line too. Especially their Eye & Mouth Cream
Please test Cerave

Yes! Cerave was acquired by L'Oreal and they're now rolling out all of the new formulas and they are trashing my skin! (Along with a lot of other people's I've heard.) I'd love to hear you compare the new and old ingredient list and see if there's any wisdom you can share on the changes. I've been using them for years and I'm heartbroken I have to find something new and have no idea where to start.

I love the moisturizer. I got it because I was desperately trying to find a replacement for L'Oreal Hydra-Total 5 cream gel (which I adored, but unfortunately can't find it where I live anymore). I'm definitely going to try more products from this line.
The extra dry skin gel cream is my life lmao. I’ve used that for years, still love it.
Please review the Burt’s Bees sensitive skincare line 🐝 It’s one of the best I’ve tried for sensitive skin from the drugstore.
Thank you for this! Now CERAVE pleaseeeee!😍
Just found your channel and you have a new subbie!! So informative, thanks for sharing!

Would you be able to review the brand “Vichy”? I want to know if it’s better then “ Elizabeth Arden” Anti aging products. Thanks 😊
I really appreciated this review. I just recently bought an exfoliating cleansing gel, this serum that you talked about and the gel cream. I have been putting on the serum then the gel cream after I wash my face. I am thinking that the serum is not necessary to do but I will continue all 3 and see how it works for me.
Thank you for so much education on the ingredients behind skin products. It's much appreciated.
I have SUPER DRY and sensitive skin and have tried soo many moisturisers and the hydro boost gel cream is the only moisturiser that actually works with keeping my skin from drying out throughout the day. With makeup it’s AMAZING I love mixing it with my foundation
Love your videos as always. Could you do a video on your opinion on Derma Rolling? Thanks!
I would love to see a video on just eye cream. What ingredients should we use or ingredients we should avoid? Your favorite or most effective eye cream at different price points.

That gel cleanser has been my staple for a year now
Can you please review Cerave? Also, the extra dry hydroboost moisturizer does not contain fragrance or dye.
I’d love to see a full drugstore skincare line. From makeup removal to cleansing and toning, serums, etc
I like your pretty and fresh makeup look! Beautiful!
Oh most people go for the fragrance free version of the moisturizer btw, i have sensitive oily skin and it’s my favorite!! you need to try the fragrance free version. It says it’s for dry skin but it’s very lightweight
I'd love a review of FAB beauty (specifically the coconut line but whichever) . This was good to hear though, my skin didn't like the gel moisturizer, but I gave it to my mama.
I love the hydro boost gel cleanser which I find great for my sensitive skin. However I reacted to the cream. Don't know why. My favourite Neutrogena product is the oil cleanser. Removes makeup easily and leaves my skin feeling great.
What do you recommend for melias?? For years ive always had them no matter what products ive used.. Any tips?
I use the hydro boost like regular cleanser and the lotion cleanser, which I like better for some reason. : ) Love the whole line. I have the hydro boost gel cream (regular not extra dry skin), the hand cream (it’s pretty good but just like any other gel body cream I’ve tried), the hydro boost with the beads in it (not for me & wont be repurchasing), and the serum is good to. Hands down I love the serum so much and need more. The under eye cream is amazing and I have like 3 backup bottles. I really hope this stuff isn’t terrible for my skin. I’ll be 30 this year and I’ve been trying to take care of my skin for over 15 years now. Started when I was really young. I really enjoy your videos and your opinions. Thanks girl! Makes me so much more confident in using the cleanser. The gel cream I’ve actually switched to the PM cerave night cream? Idk how to spell but it still has the hyaluronic acid in it as well as other ceramids. It absorbs a little bit faster than this stuff for me. Sorry for the rant. Just wanted to share what I went thro with this line. It’s not a bad line actually lol *i hate that it has some fragrance* the lotion cleanser is a little bit more mild and doesn’t have such a scent.
I'm nervous bc i use this line haha

I have got oily combo skin and I love the water gel cleanser. It has become one of my favourites.
Thank you for mentioning that golden nug of info on HA and the inflammatory response it has the potential to cause. 💓🙏🏻 I’ve been using the hydro boost gel on and off because I think it is what is causing my skin to become overly plump or inflamed idk..therefore enlarging my pore appearance & I think it’s what gave my neck a weird dry patch. I did buy the fragrance free one. Idk..I use HA in the CeraVe lotion and that doesn’t seem to bother me. Anyways I know you said you are guessing they don’t use the below 50 formulation... but that lets me know this is still probably what’s causing problems for me. Still kinda stumped on the dry patch a hydro boost cream caused on my neck🤨 but I’ll probably be returning this product. Don’t think my skin is a fan. Thanks for validating the my suspicion. 😊
Hi Kenna! Can you do some reviews on baby products? Wipes, wash, lotions... I am a mom of three and while I try to buy organic or natural products for my girls it get expensive. I would like to hear your thoughts on the affordable one vs the organic more expensive ones. Thank you. Happy new year!
I needed this review sooo much
Did yours arrive without a seal? When I unopened it it had no seal
I use the hydro boost serum in combination with the water gel and water cream and it's lovely. It's working for my skin.
I had only just recently started using the cream, but I haven’t been able to try out the cleanser yet. The cream, I like a lot cause it doesn’t feel like I’m applying a oily moisturizer.
Good honest review , thanks alot really . Vid is so informative
Can you test out Derma-E? They sell it at Whole Foods.
I also use and love the Neutrogena Body Gel. My skin feels like silk and I have very dry skin.
I am grateful that I do not have sensitive skin because I enjoy this line sooooo much. The gel cleanser is amazing. I use the moisturizer as well. I want to try the serum next. I am using a really great glycolic serum at the moment. The scent reminds me of laundry detergent. Perhaps a fabric softener sheet. Lol. I agree, I don't care for the blue dye. Its natural color is acceptable to me. I stock up on these items when Ulta has a sale and I have a coupon.
Hi, can I use the gel cream as an eye cream if my skin is not sensitive to fragrance?
What’s ur take on Neutrogena Water gel version. I have oily face in summer but normal to slight dry in winters
I love this line of products!
There is two moisturising creams in the range. The water-gel-cream which is the one that she actually showed which does contain dye and fragrance and the gel-cream which is dye and fragrance free! They are the exact same formula apart from those two components! I will not lie to you when I say that this product has genuinely changed my skin so majorly! I would 100% recommend this, and if the gel-cleanser was fragrance free I’d be sure to give that a look too!
They make a gel cream without perfume or dye. Love this line. Is what I'm using regularly
Hi Kenna! I would be so interested in what your opinions are about using Apple cider vinegar for skin, and how you should use it effectively. I’ve heard a lot of good things about it and I wanted to make an apple cider vinegar toner myself. :) thanks!
does the moisturizer have a shinny finish on your skin afterwards?
i use the hydro boost gel cream for dry skin, it is fragrance free although i have oily skin, it still works well for me!! because it is light weight and non-comedigenic
I also have very sensitive (albeit oily) skin and can tolerate most fragrances and loved the cream and serum. Imrecently purchased the Pond's Fruity Hydrafresh Gel and I find the texture similar to the Neutrogena cream but Im curious about the formula, is it any good from your perspective"?
hii Kenna, would u please talk about the harm ingredients in makeup that we should avoid, and please review the charlotte tilbury magic cream. Thankyou!!
Thanks for this informational vid! I always wanted to try this line but now I'm not totally impressed! Can you review First Aid Beauty and Kiehls?
Hi, Kenna. Thank you for doing this, because I didn’t know anything about hyaluronic acid. My son likes Nivea Water Gel sunscreen, because of the lightness of this product. He orders it from Amazon and it’s only available from somewhere in Asia. Do you know if it’s safe?
Kenna please talk about Triethanolamine - whether it's a good or bad ingredient, in which products should it be used and in what concentration.
Hi Kenna.....I have little white bumps under my eyes....could you recommend an eye cream that won’t make it worse please? 💕 xx
Yoy mentioned white bumps in the under eye area. Do you have any tips on how to get rid of one? Thank you.
I use the fragrance free form of the hydro boost gel cream for my sensitive oily skin + acne. Can the silicone be pore clogging?
could you do a review of the milk makeup skincare/primers? especially the new vegan milk moisturizer - it seems pretty good but would love to hear your opinion on the products! in another video, someone said it would trigger fungal acne, so maybe you could explain that :)
I use the gel day cream and it’s been amazing for me.
Im totally agreed about the blue color !
Thank you for the review. Could you review Simple products?
Thank you! The Neutrogena hyaluronic acid gel in the extra dry skin does not contain any dye or fragrance. .
I used to use and love the moisturizer then after a while my skin would burn after putting it on I don’t know why
Could you please review the Aveno serums? I have found that it really helps my dry winter skin.
Thank you for this review!
What do you think of the Vichy Mineral 89? It's a hyloranic acid gel. What is the best way to use it!? 💜
The hydro boost gel cream does come in a fragrance free version. It’s says it is for extra dry skin but I don’t think it would create issues for most people.
Interesting to see that yours has a light blue shade, here in Europe I have one that is really only white
When will your Altilis Beauty cleanser be back in stock???
