Happy Friyay guys! I wanted to share this quick review with y’all. I compare the Neutrogena Hydro Boost Gel Cream to the Meijer Moisturizing Water Gel. Click here to watch the 5 minute review!
I have oily/ dry combo skin. I have an oily “T-Zone” and I get dry patches on my cheeks and chin during the winter. During the winter, I usually use the gel cream instead of just the gel.
I was at Meijer a couple months ago and noticed that Meijer had a moisturizer gel cream that claimed to compare to the Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel. Click here to view product.
I have used Neutrogena Boost Water Gel and the gel cream multiple times. I have no bad reviews of either of them.
Since the Meijer brand was so much cheaper (12.99 compared to 17.29), I decided to try it.
Review:
It burns!
I do not think my skin was overly dry when I first used this product. But it caused my face to burn for a couple minutes. I considered not using it again. Each time I continued to use this product, my face would burn, not to the same extent as the first time.
This caused me to go back to the store and repurchase my faithful Neutrogena Hydro Boost Gel cream.
My final thoughts:
I purchased the Meijer gel because if you look at the ingredients, they are very similar to the Neutrogena gel cream.
One main difference I later noticed is the Meijer brand does have a strong floral like scent. The Neutrogena one is fragrance free. I know from watching some dermatologist on YouTube that fragrance in a product is actually not a good thing.
I highly recommend the Neutrogena Hydro Boost gel or gel cream depending on your skin type. I would not repurchase the Meijer brand water gel again.
I hope this review was helpful if you were considering buying either product.
Happy Friyay!
