Hydro Boost this, Hydro Boost that. First, it was the gel. Then came the toner. After that, the serum. Now we finally have something that I have been waiting for – a moisturizer for dry AF skin. In the moisturiser’s defence, it DID launch the same day as the serum. I just skipped writing about it. But, nonetheless, better late than never.
NEUTROGENA HYDRO BOOST EMULSION
The Hydro Boost Emulsion is a unique water gel-cream that absorbs quickly, like a gel, but has the long-lasting moisturizing power of a cream to quench your extra-dry skin’s thirst. This rich gel relieves intense dryness to help restore skin’s natural barrier against moisture loss. Plus it’s fragrance, dye and oil-free, and can be worn alone or under makeup.
