But even though this is much more accessible to me than the Klairs sunscreen, I’d prefer not to buy a new tube every 28 days. I guess this speaks to how well I’ve (re)applied this sunscreen.
#Hydro boost water gel lotion spf 50 skin
I’d rather not have it in there but so far, my skin doesn’t seem to have suffered for it.
And relative to my face, the rest of my body doesn’t seem to be as averse to it. I understand that it’s likely been included to help the formula dry quickly. When it comes to using products on my face, I prefer to avoid this ingredient as much as possible as it can sensitize skin. (aka denatured alcohol) is listed as an inactive ingredient the concentration is unknown. However, this is so thin and runny that merely turning the tube over would cause some product to spill out before even squeezing it. I unscrewed the cap to see if it would somehow be any better to dispense the sunscreen that way. No matter how much or little I squeezed out, there was always a slight mess behind for me to clean up. This is perhaps my largest complaint about the Neutrogena Hydro Boost Sunscreen and it’s related to the packaging. It could just be me being heavy-handed but I have to be much more mindful of wiping the cap off after I’m finished with it. The lid tends to get a little messy after use. If I have one complaint, it’s the tube itself. It was slightly offputting at first - blue sunscreen? - but once fully rubbed in, it takes on a more translucent appearance. The blue tint is in line with the rest of the Hydro Boost label. Fortunately, it goes away once you start rubbing it in. I’ve had people compliment me on the scent, even going as far as asking what kind of perfume I was wearing. But that’s not necessarily a bad thing…for my ego. The scent of the Neutrogena Hydro Boost Sunscreen doesn’t seem to go away all that quickly. Fortunately, it would disappear after a few moments. One of the drawbacks to the Biore Watery Essence - which I did use on my face - was the potent alcohol scent. It’s a scent I don’t hate however, I think it helps that I don’t use the Hydro Boost Sunscreen on my face, but rather the rest of my body. I can’t articulate it any better than that! If you’ve ever used any of Neutrogena’s Hydro Boost products, then you’ll have an idea of what I’m talking about. If you’ve ever used any of Neutrogena’s other Hydro Boost products, it’s the same fragrance. There is a scent, but it’s not a typical sunscreen smell. If you like your sunscreen to have a thin, watery consistency, then the Neutrogena Hydro Boost is as close as you’re going to get as far as Western sunscreens are concerned. The comparison to the Biore UV Aqua Rich Water Essence is apt. (It’s shorts season here, people.) Can’t report any significant pilling or flakiness, either. Unlike other (physical) sunscreens I’ve used recently, this didn’t leave any residue or runoff on my car’s leather seats. For as runny as it is, I found it absorbed into my skin quite well. Seriously, it’s like it had a mind of its own (or I’m just a slob).Īs for the lack of greasiness, that remained true. I went to cut the tube open to get the remaining sunscreen out and it dripped everywhere. It doesn’t leave my skin feeling greasy for the most part. Maybe on par with the last Biore UV iteration.
Here’s what I had to say about the Neutrogena Hydro Boost Sunscreen within my first few days of use: Water, Glycerin, Alcohol Denat., Caprylyl Methicone, Diisopropyl Adipate, Silica, Dicaprylyl Carbonate, Dimethicone, Polyurethane-62, Phenoxyethanol, Hydroxyacetophenone, Pentylene Glycol, Aluminum Starch Cctenylsuccinate, Sodium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/vp Crosspolymer, Acrylates/Dimethicone Copolymer, Glyceryl Stearate, Fragrance,Chlorphenesin, Menthyl Lactate, Tocopheryl Acetate, Disodium Edta, Trideceth-6, Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid, Sodium Hydroxide, Violet 2, Blue 1 Revisiting my first impressions Neutrogena Hydro Boost Sunscreen is a chemical-based formula that contains the following active ingredients: Thus, the term “broad spectrum” is used.) (In case you’re not aware, PA+ ratings are not recognized by the United States Food and Drug administration. The Helioplex label on the front refers to Neutrogena’s proprietary technology that’s designed to offer both UVA (anti-aging) and UVB (anti-burning) protection. The Neutrogena Hydro Boost Sunscreen is a broad spectrum formula rated at SPF 50. Enter the Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel Lotion Sunscreen Now that I’ve totally emptied the tube - already?! - it’s time to see how well those initial thoughts have aged. Last month, I shared my first impressions of the Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel Lotion Sunscreen on Instagram.
