Neutrogena Hydro Boost Body Gel Cream

Neutrogena Hydro Boost Body Gel Cream is a lightweight, non-greasy body moisturizer designed to deliver intense, long-lasting hydration. Inspired by face care, it utilizes hyaluronic acid to attract and lock in moisture, helping to improve skin’s elasticity and suppleness. It absorbs quickly, leaving skin feeling refreshed, smooth, and hydrated without a sticky residue.

Key Active Ingredients & Benefits

• Hyaluronic Acid (Sodium Hyaluronate): A powerful humectant that can hold up to 1,000 times its weight in water. It draws moisture from the atmosphere and deeper skin layers to the skin’s surface, providing deep, continuous hydration and helping to plump the skin.
• Glycerin: Another effective humectant that helps to attract and retain moisture in the skin, contributing to its softness and hydration.
• Dimethicone: A silicone-based emollient that provides a silky-smooth feel, helps to smooth the skin’s surface, and forms a breathable barrier to lock in moisture and reduce water loss.
• Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride: A lightweight emollient derived from coconut oil and glycerin, providing skin-softening benefits without a heavy feel.

Promised Benefits

How to Use

• Apply daily to your entire body.

• Best used after showering or bathing while skin is still slightly damp to lock in moisture.

Suitable For

• All skin types, particularly normal, dry, and dehydrated skin.
• Individuals seeking a lightweight, fast-absorbing body moisturizer.
• Those who prefer a gel-cream texture over heavier lotions or butters.

Caution if you have:

• Known Allergies: Check the ingredient list for specific sensitivities, especially to fragrance if using a scented variant.
• Extremely Dry/Compromised Skin: While highly hydrating, very severely dry or cracked skin might initially require a thicker ointment before transitioning to this gel-cream for maintenance.

Safety & Considerations Neutrogena Hydro Boost Body Gel Cream is formulated to be gentle and effective. It is often dermatologist-tested. The primary focus is on hydration using hyaluronic acid, a well-tolerated and highly effective humectant. The gel-cream texture is a significant feature, making it suitable for those who dislike the heavy feel of traditional lotions, especially in humid climates like Lagos.
