Neutrogena Hydro Increase Physique Gel Cream, Hydrating Physique Lotion with Hyaluronic Acid for Regular to Dry Pores and skin, Light-weight Perfume-Free Hyaluronic Acid Moisturizer, 16 OZ

I was curious and skeptical and voila!
Ah, hyaluronic acid, ye mystical humectant. You can cost $9 for a big ole bottle, as with this Neutrogena Hydro boost or, next over on the list, product X is ching-chinging in at $35. I have long thought, What gives? The other selling point for me was that it’s either oil free or nearly so, so it might be a winner in summer months in the perspiration-avoidance department. I’m normally a scent-free shopper but a number of reviews, including a dermatologist on YouTube, claimed the texture of the scented was nicer. The scent is in the citrusy department rather than the vanilla or overripe apple department–which would have compelled me to re-gift it. Plus the scent dissipates fairly quickly.The ingredient list requires a chemistry background but that was expected with a big box store type of brand. And I should note that the famed hyaluronic acid is the last ingredient listed, whereas the world’s most beloved and used humectant (water-attractor), glycerin, is the second listed ingredient after, uh, water. I buy glycerin by the gallon and use it as a lotion daily. People in olden times always used plain glycerin. I don’t know why folks have seemingly forgotten about it. It’s in 98% of cosmetics.So, this stuff goes on really smooth, it soaks in instantaneously, whereas plain glycerin will sit around a bit until you rub it in.There is definitely something to all the cheering about the disappearance of crepey skin. I’m not a youngster. My skin is in great condition for my age (thanks, glycerin!) but I’m starting to crepe in a few spots, or something new and weird is going on. This lotion does have a positive effect. It also makes your skin feel cooler than normal to the touch and somehow plump–in a good way. And after the summer of ’23, it’s a go-to in steamy weather.As for sensitive skin, I do have something like eczema on my elbows and this lotion doesn’t irritate but most lotions don’t. I don’t think I’m a good judge for the sensitive skin factor.So, no idea what ingredient is doing what, if the hyaluronic acid is the hero, or if it all boils down the the glycerin, but I’ve been impressed.

Great moisturizer
Best moisturizer product. Pleasant light scent. Not greasy and absorbs completely. I keep buying as it’s great. This is a good price point!

Hydrating
I love this lotion. It is very hydrating and doesn’t leave a greasy feeling on my skin. I am 61 and starting to show “crapey” skin on my lower legs. I am rather thin, so not much meat on my bones-this lotion does the trick for my legs. I also use it all over my body after my shower, but I notice a huge difference on my lower legs!! It also has a very small amount of scent that is really nice, can’t describe it. I will definitely keep buying this lotion!

Most Effective AND Lightweight Lotion I’ve Tried
Absolute favorite body lotion. Pleasant, mild fresh scent (note – fragrance free option also available). Very hydrating. Leaves my skin silky soft until I wash it off– stays hydrated all day and night. Amazing product for the price. I’ve tried virtually all drug store lotions as well as several expensive body creams. This one feels significantly more hydrating and lightweight. Please don’t change this formulation! Will be a life long customer now.**IMPORTANT – Will quickly cause oil/grease stains on your clothes!!! I apply immediately after the shower then dress in a robe until 30+ min. has elapsed before donning my clothes and I still occasionally get an oil stain. Annoying problem to work around, but worth it for the results!

It may be expensive but it’s worth it

Good
