Overview

Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel (1x 50ml), Oil-Free is one of 41 skin care products on our shelf, compared on what buyers rated it, how many of them there were, and what it costs today. Here is how the maker describes it: Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel is infused with hydrating hyaluronic acid, which is naturally found in skin. This acts as a sponge to absorb up to 1,000 times its weight in water. Quench your skin with the Neutrogena Water Gel moisturiser that intensely hydrates dry skin to deliver a refreshing burst of hydration. That is the maker talking, not us, so read it as a claim rather than a finding. On Amazon it sits at 4.5 out of 5 across 13,509 ratings. How that compares with the rest of the shelf is below.

How it compares on the skin care shelf

Across the 41 rated skin care products we track, the middle of the pack sits at 4.6 out of 5. This one scores 4.5. That's mid-table. Star ratings won't separate this from its neighbours, so the decision comes down to pack size, price per unit and whether the specifics below suit you.

Behind that score sit 13,509 ratings, against a shelf median of 12,743. That's a solid enough base to read the score, though not enough to settle it.

Price-wise it falls in the middle third of a shelf that stretches £1.80 to £16.70, with £9.37 in the middle. That's the middle of the shelf, which is usually the least regretted place to buy from.
