If there’s one skincare brand that’s been a constant in our bathroom cabinets over time, it’s Neutrogena. We love it. It’s known for its dermatologist-recommended formulas and straightforward, no-fuss approach to skin health for both men and women. Neutrogena delivers results always, and in all ways, which is why its latest item, the Hydro Boost Hyaluronic Acid Serum is a must have.
All about the moisture, this lightweight and fast-absorbing serum has a silky gel texture that feels instantly cooling and refreshing on the skin. One pump is enough to glide over your entire face and neck, soaking in without leaving behind any stickiness or residue. It’s the kind of product you’ll reach for morning and night because your skin just feels better with it on.
The magic lies in the formula. Just like the name suggests at its heart is hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring molecule that holds up to 1,000 times its weight in water. Translation: it draws moisture deep into the epidermis and locks it in, leaving your face plumper, smoother and more resilient. Glycerin, another hydration booster, helps strengthen the skin barrier, while a blend of humectants and emollients work together to keep everything soft and supple throughout the day.
This serum is suitable for all skin types too—including oily and sensitive—but it’s especially great for anyone dealing with dryness, dullness or tightness, playing particularly well with men’s skin, which tends to be thicker and sometimes oilier, yet without the moisture it needs. Hydro Boost’s water-light texture hydrates without overwhelming or clogging pores, making it an easy win for anyone who might be newer to skincare or just wants one product that really works.
And all you have to do is apply it to clean, slightly damp skin before your moisturizer (we recommend Neutrogena’s Hydro Boost Hyaluronic Acid Gel Cream) and let it do its thing.
Neutrogena Hydro Boost Hyaluronic Acid Serum, $29.99 for 29 ml, available at Shoppers Drug Mart.
