The Neutrogena Hydro Boost Hydrating Fluid SPF50 is designed for daily use as the final step in your morning skincare routine. Its fluid texture allows for easy application and absorption, making it suitable for layering under makeup without pilling or feeling heavy. The combination of Hyaluronic Acid, Pro-Vitamin B5, and Niacinamide works synergistically to deliver moisture deep into the skin while simultaneously providing robust sun protection.
Typical Application: Apply a generous amount (approximately two finger-lengths for face and neck) to clean skin 15-20 minutes before sun exposure. This ensures adequate coverage and allows the product to settle.
Benefit in Daily Life: Ideal for protecting skin during everyday activities, whether commuting, working outdoors, or spending leisure time outside. The hydrating ingredients help counteract the drying effects that can sometimes accompany sun exposure or environmental stressors, leaving skin feeling soft and supple.
Under Makeup: Its lightweight nature makes it an excellent primer for foundation, creating a smooth, hydrated canvas without interfering with makeup longevity.
Cleanse: Start with a clean face. Gently cleanse your skin using your preferred facial cleanser.
Treat (Optional): Apply any serums or targeted treatments you typically use.
Moisturize (Optional): If you use a separate moisturizer, apply it before the Hydro Boost Fluid, allowing it to absorb fully.
Apply Fluid: Dispense a generous amount (at least a quarter-sized dollop or two finger-lengths) of the Neutrogena Hydro Boost Hydrating Fluid SPF50 onto your fingertips.
Distribute Evenly: Gently dot the fluid across your face and neck. Using gentle, upward strokes, blend it evenly until absorbed. Pay attention to areas often missed, like the hairline, ears, and neck.
Reapply: Reapply at least every 2 hours, or immediately after towel drying, swimming, or sweating.
Skin Types: This product is developed with dermatologists and formulated for all skin types, especially those needing hydration and sun protection. Individuals with very sensitive skin should perform a patch test.
Other Products: Compatible with most skincare routines. Can be layered over serums and under makeup.
Storage: Store the product in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
Expiry: Check the expiration date on the packaging and discontinue use if expired.
Hygiene: Keep the cap tightly closed when not in use to prevent contamination and drying out.
