If there is anything I have learnt in my time as a beauty writer, it's that if Leigh Campbell recommends a product, you don't walk – you run.
So, naturally this time was no different. When I heard she absolutely swears by this savey Neutrogena® product, I wasted no time in getting my hands on it to see if it could not only deeply moisturise my winter skin, but restore the natural glow I've been missing.
This newest formulation of Neutrogena® Hydro Boost Hyaluronic Acid Water Gel is 5 times more hydrating than untreated control, and is packed with all of the hydrating ingredients our skin loves.
I'm talking 20 per cent more hyaluronic acid than the previous formula, which helps to retain water for long-lasting hydration. It also includes amino acids which help strengthen the skin's moisture barrier, and electrolytes which are known to boost ingredient absorption.
This product acts as a big drink of water for your skin, and helps to strengthen the skins moisture barrier, while also plumping and hydrating.
Plus, it is now available in a refill pod that uses 89 per cent less plastic than their regular jar, meaning it is not only good for your skin, but good for the environment too.
Over the last week, myself and 2 other beauty lovers have put this moisturiser to the test to see if it lives up to the hype.
Here's our honest verdict.
Isabelle, dry skin.
In the midst of winter, my skin becomes desperate for some TLC, which brought me to my quest of finding the perfect moisturiser. One that would give my skin the hydration it craved, without feeling heavy or greasy. Lo-and-behold, an opportunity to try the Neutrogena® Hydro Boost Water Gel presented itself, and it has made such a big difference to my skin.
