Feels refreshing
Love the exfoliating texture of this product. Made my skin feel overall refreshed. I use this every day and absolutely no residue. Very nice. My opinion is that my skin is glowing.

Do Not use
I have been using this for a while and I think they changed their formula because it burned my face. Hasn't healed in Over a month.

Gentle exfoliating cleanser for everyday use
I have combination and acne prone skin.I had always been a fan of the hydro boost gel cleanser and wanted to give this a try. I love this product as well. It thoroughly cleanses and does not leave any residue. The microbeads are great for gently exfoliating and has not irritated my skin. I have not had any break outs or other discomfort so far. I will definetly be using...

Great for oily skin 💧✨
I’ve been using this cleanser since high school and I love it! It barely has a scent and lathers so well on the skin. I would say only use this once either in the morning or night. I have oily skin so I use it twice a day but it can dry out your skin. I do see results though and love using this daily. It’s great for breakouts as well. 💧✨

My Face feels so soft, and clean!
I love the texture of the foaming cleanser on my face, and skin. I use it every morning, not just on occasion. It stores for a good while, till gone!

Great Physical Exfoliant
I have tried Neutrogena Hydro Boost Exfoliating Cleanser in the past and it was nice. I’m not big of physical exfoliants, but this one is pretty good. The tiny micro beads help to slough away dead skin cells softly without too much rubbing. I never experienced any dryness, irritation, or flaking from use of this product. After use your skin feels soft, hydrated, and smo...

Exfoliating and gentle
I use this a couple times a week as a light exfoliater inbetween the Hydroboost gel cleanser. It's very gentle, moisturizing, gets my makeup off and has a light, refreshing scent. It lathers well and a little goes a long way.

If you haven’t tried this yet, you should!
This is a great product that delivers results! Work it into a lather and apply to dampened skin. You may feel a little bit of tightness but that is just results you are feeling and it isn’t overwhelming. I highly recommend.

Nice for combination skin
It’s perfect for my morning routine. It comes out very nice and easy. I haven’t had any breakouts using this product. The scent is light not overwhelming. Super easy to rinse off.

Fresh, smooth skin with no breakouts for me - just
I’ve been using the Neutrogena Hydro Boost Exfoliating Cleanser and it leaves my skin feeling really fresh, clean and smooth. The gel texture feels light and the hyaluronic acid helps it feel more hydrated compared to some other cleansers. I didn’t notice any new breakouts while using it, and my skin felt soft after rinsing. That said, because it has gentle exfoliating ...

Will buy again!
I am not crazy about exfoliating products for my face because they tend to make my face break out. I will have to say that this product was wonderful. I had no breakouts and it made it feel so smooth afterwards.

My go-to exfoliating face cleanser
I have used this affordable exfoliating cleanser for the past few years as part of my skincare routine. I have sensitive skin and have no issues with this product. The gel is easy to use, provides gentle exfoliation and makes my skin feel clean & refreshed, not stripped.

I did not enjoy it :( very griddy
I did not enjoy this. It made my face burn. The texture is extremely griddy and did not go smoothly over the face at all. I tried it a few times before throwing the bottle away, unfortunately. The package is decent and it dispenses easily. I stored it in my bathroom along with my other skincare. I prefer a chemical exfoliant over a physical exfoliant.

Really nice product.
I just purchased this a week ago and I really like it. I have used a few products in the Hydro Boost line. This one works great on my pores, makes my skin feel so clean and smooth, and rinses off easily. It doesn’t cause me to breakout at all.
