Neutrogena Hydro Boost hydrating face wash, Fragrance-Free 16 fl oz — hyaluronic acid, gel-to-foam cleanser

Neutrogena Hydro Boost Face Wash is a fragrance-free hydrating gel cleanser that gently removes dirt, oil, and makeup while helping skin retain moisture.

This lightweight gel-to-foam wash is formulated with hyaluronic acid and BarrierCare Technology to cleanse without stripping the skin. Designed by a dermatologist-recommended brand, the formula targets normal, dry, and sensitive skin types and avoids common irritants like fragrance, parabens, sulfates, phthalates, and alcohol. The pump bottle holds 16 fl oz for multiple weeks of daily use and pairs with the Hydro Boost family for layered hydration.

How does this face wash hydrate without leaving residue?

The gel texture transforms into a silky foam that lifts oil, makeup, and impurities while hyaluronic acid helps attract and hold moisture at the skin surface. BarrierCare Technology supports the skin’s natural moisture barrier so cleansing doesn’t result in tightness or dryness.

• Hyaluronic acid: attracts and retains water in the skin
• BarrierCare Technology: helps maintain the skin’s protective layer
• Gel-to-foam texture: cleans thoroughly without heavy residue

Is this safe for sensitive or dry skin?

Yes — the formulation is fragrance-free, hypoallergenic, and avoids alcohol and common irritants that can aggravate sensitive skin. Clinical testing indicates it supports hydration levels, making it a gentle pick for dry or reactive skin types.

• No fragrance, parabens, sulfates, phthalates, or alcohol
• Hypoallergenic and not tested on animals
• Recommended for normal, sensitive, and dry skin

How should I use this in my daily routine?

Use morning and night: wet your face, dispense a small amount, massage into a lather over the face, then rinse thoroughly. For best results, follow with a Hydro Boost moisturizer to lock in hydration after cleansing.

• Wet skin first to help the gel lather
• Massage gently; avoid harsh scrubbing
• Pair with Hydro Boost serum or cream for added moisture

Will it remove makeup and sunscreen effectively?

The gel cleanser is formulated to remove everyday makeup, oil, and light sunscreen without needing a separate remover. For heavy or waterproof makeup, follow with an oil-based cleanser or makeup remover first for a double-cleanse.

• Removes daily makeup and excess oil
• Works well as the second step in double-cleansing
• Leaves skin prepped for serums and moisturizers
