Neutrogena Hydro Boost City Shield 50ml Hydrating Lotion

I've been using this lotion now for about 3 weeks in total, and I'm always a little dubious about using new products on my skin especially as part of my morning routine due to "flaking". My skin can change from oily to quite dry in a matter of days but i'm pleased that this product hasn't caused this at all, and I have noticed a my skin feeling softer and smoother after using it.Its a nice base prior to makeup application, and sinks into the skin quite quickly leaving no oily residue on your hands or face, although not a great lover of the smell its not terrible by any means.As the title suggests, a little can go a long way which is great, as the size of the product will last quite a while, and for the price its really reasonable.Its marketed as an SPF25, I'll ... MoreI've been using this lotion now for about 3 weeks in total, and I'm always a little dubious about using new products on my skin especially as part of my morning routine due to "flaking".

Another point is that it protects against city pollution, again going to have to take their word on that as I live in the country and pass an occasional tractor.The packaging is common with Neutrogina and as a result would make a nice gift or maybe just a gift for yourself.All in I would recommend this product as part of the morning skin routine, its not expensive and it goes a long way, only a 4 star due to the smell.

I think the Neutrogena Hydro Boost City Shield is a great product. I like the brightly coloured packaging of this lotion. Also, it's light weight and easy to carry for travelling. At first, the light blue colour of the cream was a little alarming, but as soon I used it, the cream blended well and there was not even a hint of blue left! I It moisturises my skin well and keeps it hydrated. You only need a small amount of the cream to cover your face. I was surprised at the texture/thickness of the cream. I've found that face creams with a high spf are usually heavy/sticky but this was far from that. It was easy to spread and was a good texture - it wasn't too thick but it wasn't watery either.

The packaging describes the hydrating lotion's texture as "ultralight and non-greasy". That is 100% spot on! I liked the smell of the cream too - it was very refreshing and not too strong. I will definitely be buying this cream again and adding it to my daily routine. I will also be recommending it to friends and family too!

The Neutrogena Hydro Boost City Shield Hydrating Lotion is a great option for a SPF. It is lightweight and quite fast absorbent, however I would't call it a lotion.This is a good lightweight SPF, but I would't describe this is a hydrating lotion as I wouldn't use it for that. If I was looking for hydration I would look for a moisturiser. Nevertheless I'm not saying this product doesn't help with hydration, but I would't focus it on that.Thinking of it as an SPF, the formula is not too sticky as most SPFs are, and neither does it leave a white coat on your face.If you wear makeup this is quite a good base to apply your makeup on top of.Overall this a great product that I'd apply first thing in the morning after washing my face, to keep my skin protected ... MoreThe Neutrogena Hydro Boost City Shield Hydrating Lotion is a great option for a SPF.

I already use other Neutrogena products and this is another one that I'll keep using on a daily basis.
