I was sent a few of the new Neutogena Hydro Boost products to test out and, boy, have they come in handy! I have been travelling so much in the last few weeks, constant flights between Durban and Johannesburg, and my skin was taking a beating!

I'm sure you've experienced it before, as soon as you start to ascend to a higher altitude (i.e. flying in general or travelling between cities such as Durban and Johannesburg) you start to feel your facial skin tightening and your lips needing a couple extra coats of lip balm. Well, try doing that every week!

My Neutogena Hydro Boost products couldn't have come at a better time!

I was sent three products, their Hydro Boost Cleanser Micellar Water, Hydro Boost Water Gel Cleanser and their Hydro Boost Gel Cream Moisturiser.

Hydro Boost it certainly does!

I was neither overwhelmed nor underwhelmed by the Micellar Water, I was just "whelmed" as Bianca would say in 10 Things I Hate About You. Micellar water is such a hyped about product these days and I have tried a bunch! This one did the job, but I can't really tell a huge difference between this, my Garnier Pure Active (I haven't tried the Oil Infused one yet) and Bioderma Micellar Water. Maybe this is a good thing though? It's equally as good as other leading micellar waters.

Hyaluronic acid is the active ingredient in this range. It's moisture-binding characteristic is exceptionally important when it comes to skin aging. One of the qualities of youthful skin is its ability to hold water and retain a balanced amount of moisture. As we age, our skin loses the ability to maintain this vital, plumping moisture as well as it once did. The result is visible loss of firmness, pliability, and diminished appearance of plumpness and suppleness.

Hyaluronic acid can enhance moisture content beyond comparison with anything else, and at the same time revitalize skin’s outer layers so they look and feel softer, smoother, and, especially, radiantly hydrated! That’s how it instantly improves the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid is quite high up in the ingredient list so that is always a plus, which is especially great for a drugstore product.

You can grab The Neutrogena Hydro Boost range from Dischem, Clicks and Foschini stores and online for the following prices:

I am enjoying the micellar water but it’s not good enough on its own as a cleanser. I find I have to use quite a bit and sometimes use it twice over to get my face clean. I do like the softness of the texture and it’s a great added cleanser.

I was using the Garnier Micellar Sensitive before trying this range. It did work better on its own as a cleanser but I feel the Neutrogena Hydro Boost Micellar Water leaves my skin silkier, more hydrated and cleaner with the aid of the rest of the range.

How I’ve used the products:
In the morning I use the cleanser in the shower to clean my skin of dead skin cells. Once out the shower I give my skin an extra cleanse with the micellar water on a cotton pad. I then use a generous amount of the water gel, paying careful attention to my dry spots and lips. Then comes putting on my face as I like to say (not that I use much makeup ;)).

At night I get lazy at times and only use the cleanser sometimes. I use a facial wipe every night to get rid of makeup and impurities that have come to visit during the day. I give my face a good clean and then will sometimes do 2 rounds of cotton pads using the micellar water. I make sure the pad is clean before putting on a generous amount of water gel, paying careful attention to my dry spots and lips.

I probably will buy the micellar water again.

Please go to the range listing and individual product listings for more on my Hydro Boost experience.

I'm sure we've all heard of the wonders of Micellar water over the past year or so. I love the fact that you can incorporate this one into your skin care regime by either applying it after the cleanser, no need to rinse it off or use it on its on instead of a cleanser. If you have dry skin, you can use the Micellar water as your main cleanser and the gel one a few times a week or less. I've only used it twice this far for makeup removal and it worked like a bomb.Be sure to use a cotton pad as it will make removal easier, all you do is dampen the pad with a few drops of Micellar water and remove makeup or build up until the pad is clean. It will remove the makeup with ease, no need to rinse and will leave your skin feeling soft and moisterised.

The Neutrogena® Hydro Boost Micellar Water was amazing. I have always had a particular soft spot for Micellar Waters and how refreshed and clean they make my skin feel.

I used the Micellar water to remove make-up and between washing and hydrating with the Neutrogena® Hydro Boost Cleanser and Hydrating face lotion.

The one thing I will say about this particular Micellar Water is that it wasn't entirely effective in terms of Make-up removal. However Neutrogena may boast that it is definitely more hydrating that the average Micellar water. I would recommend this as a great face make-up remover and definitely recommend moisturising post use.

The Neutrogena® Hydro Boost Micellar Water is a make-up remover and no rinse cleanser. I was given the Micellar Water and facial wipes to review from this range.I used the wipes for a week and the Micellar Water for a week.

I used the Micellar Water in the morning and evening before a shower or bath. I found that it left my skin oily and I was using 3 drops of it.

Between the wipes and micellar water, I prefer using the wipes. They both do the same job which is removing make-up and skin impurities.

This was my first time using micellar water and I've concluded that I’m not a micellar water kinda girl.

In all honesty this product did not do that much justice for me as tried many Micellar Water products as this one isn't one of the best. Yes, It does remove makeup but if you're are wearing full glam it does not remove the makeup effectively as you have to reapply it to remove the rest of your makeup

This Micellar Water is a unique cleanser that is said to remove make-up and impurities, while adding vital hydration to your skin.
I have been in love with Micellar Waters recently, and have been trying out different brands and products, so I was very excited to receive this. This product does not strip the natural oils from your face nor does it leave it dry and red, like I have found many other Micellar Waters to do so. Instead, it leaves your face feeling supple and flexible as well as super clean from impurities and grime. This is a no-rinse make up remover. I apply this product onto a cotton pad and gently wipe it across my entire face and over my eyes. This product does not burn my eyes or irritate them in the slightest – it is so gentle and tend on the eyes and sensitive patches on the skin.
I have however found that this product removes most of my make-up but not all of it. I tend to have to go in with another make-up remover to get absolutely everything off.
I started off my evening routine using the Hydro Boot Micellar Water to remove my make-up followed by the cleanser, but after day 5 I changed this around and used my Water Gel Cleanser first followed by the Micellar Water.
This product retails for R99.95

I am loving the Neutrogena Hydro Boost Micellar Water, its a mess free makeup remover.

One of my golden rules for having a beautiful complexion is making sure you remove dirt and makeup from your skin at night. Our skin is twice as active during the night, so you have to make sure you remove any excess dirt and makeup. Sometimes in the evening I tend to be lazy, so to make things convenient, I place the Neutrogena Hydro Boost Micellar Water on my cupboard next to me bed, with my eco-friendly cotton pads.

I love how easily my makeup is removed and at the same time, my skin is also receiving a boost of moisture. I struggled abit with my mascara but learnt that I needed to use a new cotton pad with loads of the Neutrogena Hydro Boost Micellar Water and the mascara was removed. It did not hurt my eyes or cause any burning sensation which I really appreciate.

I love the product and am not 100% sure (yet) if I will repurchase it at this point.
