Product summary

"Neutrogena - Hydro Boost Water Gel Moisturiser for Normal to Combination Skin" is a well-rounded moisturizing product. To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. Neutrogena - Hydro Boost Water Gel Moisturiser for Normal to Combination Skin ticks this box. Humectants in this product (urea, alanine, arginine, betaine and fructose) help to increase the water content in the upper layer of the skin. (These ingredients do so by "capturing" water molecules from the outside air or from within the deeper layers of the skin). Arginine, dimethicone, dimethiconol, caprylyl glycol and pentylene glycol in this product help decrease the water evoporation from the skin, so that it stays hydrated for longer. These ingredients also soften the skin and take away the feeling of tightness and dryness.

This product contains ingredients that could be beneficial, but their concentrations are too low in this formulation: vitamin e and allantoin
