"One of my all-time favorites is from Neutrogena, their Hydro Boost. It comes in a gel."

"What about Neutrogena's famous Hydro Boost moisturizer? Everyone loves that moisturizer, but first off it's so expensive. Number two, it's not revolutionary. Number three, it has fragrance in it. Like, the very first ingredients in the Neutrogena hyaluronic acid water boost product, it's water, dimethicone, and glycerin, which are fine, and that's why this product feels like a primer on your skin. Everyone loves it, but it's like 20 or 30 dollars now. Like, why?"

"They added a lot of amino acids which are nice to see, amino acid skin identical ingredients in this new formula. So they took something super simple that people loved and added some good ingredients to it and I'm really happy with it. The texture and everything else is nearly the same. They just added some nice ingredients. Typically Neutrogena they don't go out of the way to impress customers like me but this did impress me. I was pretty happy with it."

"The new fragrance-free water gel represents a substantial improvement upon the old formula. It has a variety of amino acids that are part of skin's natural moisturizing factors. [...] It's not really solely now a hyaluronic acid focused moisturizer; it has some other things going on that are beneficial for moisturizing the skin as they are naturally present in skin's outermost layer. These help with hydrating."
