Fragrance:
The product has no fragrance.

Effective?
  • Apply very gently on your face and it will get absorbed into the skin seamlessly
  • Less is more.Take a pea-sized amount of the product and apply on your face
  • Only if you feel that you need to apply more then take some more product and apply.
  • Even if you have extremely dry-skin, be cautious while scooping out and applying the product
  • The effect of the product lasted throughout the day and I didn't feel the need to re-apply the product.If we apply a lot,the skin starts looking oily.
  • Once applied onto the skin,it doesn't feel heavy at all
  • No dryness was experienced
  • Also,the cream doesn't leave any cast on the skin
  • Most importantly ,it didn't break-out the skin
  • Kept the skin hydrated and gave soothing-effect.Thanks to it's key ingredient : Aqua & Glycerin ,synthetic beeswax and hyaluronic acid acts as a sponge for dry skin cells
  • Skin feels smooth and soft
  • Makes skin healthy.It's been a month that I am using it and I love this product as it does it's job well
  • Can be used daily
  • Can be used as a makeup-primer as well.very true.
Con:
  • No SPF.
  • Due to the tub-packaging there are high chances of product-contamination if we use our hands or an unclean spatula.

Overall,Hydro Boost water gel cream for dry skin by Neutrogena is a boon for people with extremely dry skin.I love it and recommend that you check it out and try if you have dry skin,

Will I re-purchase?
Yes.The product is very effective and affordable at the same time.It's a steal at the price it's being offered.I trust Neutrogena.

My Experience:
Swatch:
                                       
In Pic : Swatch of the product

Packaging:
  • The packaging looks like a body-spray, only this time the product is in the form of a body-moisturizer and not a mist!
  • Packaging is cool.The product comes in a cylindrical green-coloured tin-bottle 
  • The bottle has a twist-open cap that needs to be rotated in order to lock/unlock the bottle
  • This secures the product inside the bottle and prevents spillage of the product
  • Sleek packaging
  • Can be carried away along anywhere
  • The dispenser is of appropriate size,we get sufficient quantity dispensed in one go!
  • The continuous spray claim is correct.The packaging is appropriate to do a continuous product spray                                        
In Pic: Product - claims

                                     
In Pic : Nozzle of the body spray-moisturizer
                                          
Formula & Texture:
  • The moisturizer is of white colour
  • The body moisturizer has a very thin consistency unlike the the regular aloe soothe body moisturizer range from Vaseline that has kind of thick & creamy consistency
  • Of course , the moisturizer's consistency has to be thin to get sprayed easily onto the body
  • Very light-weight
  • Not greasy at all
  • Key ingredient glycerin keeps the skin moisturized
Effective?
Yes.
  • The moisturizer keeps the skin moisturized
  • Did not experience any kind of dryness throughout the day.Totally depends on skin-needs and different skin-types
  • Yes,the product is non-greasy and apt for people with dry skin type
  • Also,if the product is used on a daily basis,any kind of skin-dryness is taken care of...totally agree.I have been using it daily.
  • For spraying the moisturizer continuously we need to keep the dispenser's head pressed and move all over the area we want to moisturize.It works just fine.
Fragrance:
The body moisturizer smells exactly like the Vaseline's regular-range of body moisturizer in the aloe soothe variant.The fragrance is of aloe which is very strong but,soothing and I love it!

Longevity:
Applied only once in a day on moist skin.Lasts all day long on the skin.It totally depends on the skin-needs and types.

Con:
  • The fragrance can be over-whelming to people with very sensitive nose.I love the aloe-fragrance very much!
  • No SPF
Will I re-purchase?
Yes,surely. I really love this product and highly recommend that you check out the other variants as well!The product does what has been claimed by the company.Best part is that it's non greasy and is very moisturizing...love it

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What are Parabens?
Parabens are a class of widely used preservatives in cosmetic and pharmaceutical products. Chemically, they are a series of parahydroxybenzoates or esters of parahydroxybenzoic acid (also known as 4-hydroxybenzoic acid). Parabens are effective preservatives in many types of formulas. These compounds, and their salts, are used primarily for their bactericidal and fungicidal properties. They can be found in shampoos, commercial moisturizersshaving gelspersonal lubricantstopical/parenteral pharmaceuticals, spray tanning solution, makeup,[1] and toothpaste. They are also used as food additives.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Are Parabens safe?
Preservatives are added to personal care and cosmetic products to prevent the growth of fungi and bacteria that may be introduced by the consumer during use. Any product that contains water is susceptible to being spoiled by the growth of fungi or bacteria, causing problems such as unsightly mold growth, discoloration, mal-odor or breakdown of the product. Under certain conditions, an inadequately preserved product can become contaminated, allowing dangerous levels of microorganisms to grow. Cosmetic products may be exposed to bacteria and fungi during product use due to contact with the skin or applicators that contact the skin. Parabens are widely used in all types of cosmetics to prevent these changes and protect the consumer. 

The U.S. FDA has classified methyl and propyl paraben as GRAS, which means they are Generally Regarded As Safe by medical and toxicological experts for use in preserving food. The FDA has also stated that parabens are safe for use in cosmetics.

What is Di-methicone?
A silicone oil consisting of dimethylsiloxane polymers, usually incorporated into a petrolatum base or a nongreasy preparation and used for the protection of normal skin against various, chiefly industrial, skin irritants; may also be used to prevent diaper dermatitis.

My Experience:

Shades:
  • Trendsetter- It's a perfect nude shade with orange undertones.Will suit all the skin tones
  • Flirt- It's a brownish-nude shade that will suit fair skin tones very well
  • Spice Girl- Mauvy-nude that is a tad bit more brown when compared to Flirt.Suitable for all skin tones
  • Vixen- It's a very deep brown shade that will suit deep-skin tones well apart from fair and medium-skin tones!
