(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) This Neutrogena Hydro Boost sunscreen felt great on my skin: I was shocked at how lightweight it felt given the SPF 50 rating.
Although I am testing this while there is still snow on the ground, I still appreciate the protection it offers (just can’t quite comment on effectiveness in full sun, summer days). It had a really lovely, light scent and went on easily. My skin didn’t feel greasy afterwards but still felt like I had adequately covered everything I needed. I will definitely look for this in a lower SPF as well to use year round.
I recieved this product for free through the ChickAdvisor product review club.

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I was lucky to try the Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel Sunscreen as part of the Chickadvisor Review Club. I have only used one other facial moisturizer with built in suncreen before on my face. So I was curious on how this sunscreen would feel relative to what I have been using before. The sunscreen felt light when applying it on my face and it did moisturize my face during the day. Another plus is my face didn't have greasy or white marks (this is very important as you don't want your face to look shiny or greasy). So overall, I would recommend it as a good facial moisturizer with a strong SPF to my friends and family.

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I received this sunscreen to try for free from ChickAdvisor. I like how this sunscreen feels more like a face moisturizer rather than a sunscreen. It’s lighter than other sunscreens, the cream is thin and light blue and it’s not sticky or as smelly as other sunscreens I have used in the past. It feels refreshing and smooth going on my skin and the fact it has a high SPF of 50 is going to be great to use all summer long. The price I feel is about average to buy this in the store. I will probably buy it again and I will for sure recommend to family and friends!

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) Sunscreen is one the things that I hate using, it is sticky and does not sit well under my make up at all. This product was quite interesting, it has a great feeling on the skin, light and well absorbed. Not sticky and it sits very well under my make up. My skin feels nice and it feels healthy not blocked or clogged up like the regular sunscreens that you get out there. It feels great on my skin and I used to avoid using sunscreen when I needed glam make up, but now I can really say that I use sunscreen under my makeup and feel like I am actually taking care of my skin. Great product, will be my go to sunscreen from now on.

Not My Fav
It’s not my favourite. I really don’t like the smell. It’s a bit thick on my face when I put the amount that I have to put as a sunscreen. It’s affordable which would actually work as a body sunscreen.

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I received this product as part of the Chick Advisor Review Panel. I was really excited about the high SPF rating on this product and was hoping it would also moisturize my skin - and that maybe I could use it on my face, too - but I find that higher SPFs start to burn my skin and eyes a bit, even though I do NOT have sensitive skin. It looked a bit greasy because the SPF prevents it from soaking in as easily and then shortly after, my eyes started to water. I think this would be great on my shoulders and back, but it did not go well on my face. Too greasy and SPF too strong for face - but probably great for everywhere else.

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I was skeptical when I got this as a sample product, but couldn't have been more pleasantly surprised.
Admittedly, it is not the height of sunscreen season, so I'm not sampling or reviewing with a high UV index. But the product itself is fabulous.
It is incredibly light and not at all greasy. The scent is light and not at all strong. I wore under make-up and no issue with application (I use sunscreen/primer/foundation/powder). It also did not irritate my sometimes sensitive skin, which was a huge bonus.
The value for the price is absolutely worth it.

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) It wasn't sunny when I first used this product - which shouldn't have prevented me from using it - but I really wanted to try it out in the true sunshine!
Regardless, i still wore it to see if it had any effect on my skin - rashes, breakouts, etc. My skin did not react to it, which is great - as sometimes there are sunscreens out there that just clog my pores. i think what I really liked about this product is the fact that the consistency is of a gel - which eliminates the feeling of greasiness.
I received this product free from the Product Review Club.

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I received NEUTROGENA HYDRO BOOST WATER GEL SUNSCREEN SPF 50 free to review in exchange for my honest review.
Although there isn't much sunny weather where i am, i did use it. It's creamy as apposed to gel like in my opinion.
I liked it but I wasn't overly sold on this product just yet. When the sun is out more I will have to try it again and see how I react to it.
It's spf 50 which is a bonus since I have only use up to SPF 35 so far in other brands. I liked that my skin absorbed it quite fast so I didn't have that tacky feeling throughout the day.
The only downside I see is the amount of times I would have to apply it.

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) Bye to those oily sunscreens that leave a white cast, this one is definitely a winner. Furthermore, as a woman of colour, I really appreciate that it quickly absorbed into my skin leaving no residue. Moreover, it's a waterbased gel which even gave my dry skin a little moisture. It is also pretty affordable and gives good protection from the sun. In addition, as it's pretty lightweight It even work well with my make-up. Plus, a little goes a long way with this one.
I received a sample from Chickadvisor for testing purposes and this is my honest review.

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I wish it was sunny enough in Montreal so I could have used this product on my whole body but I used it on my hands and face.
I’ve always been a great fan of Neutrogena sunscreen and they have the highest protection.
This could be my fave sunscreen for the upcoming summer because of the texture in particular. It’s actually even better than the one I use from Neutrogena.
Also I always chose 50 or 100 so that’s perfect
It’s lightweight and non greasy while protecting you for like 80 minutes!!
I also like the fact that it has hyaluronic acid I had never seen this in a sunscreen before but that’s a great idea
Can’t wait for summer!

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I got sent this product by Brand Backer to try.
What I like about this is that it has a water gel formula that is very lightweight and much less greasy than other sunscreens. It absorbs into the skin nicely and doesn't interfere with other products I use on my face. For the face I can still feel a little greasiness, but you wouldn't notice it at all when applied to your body. It also doesn't leave any white-cast so it's perfect for picture taking! What's also great is that it has hyaluronic acid, glycerin and vitamin E that gives your skin a boost of hydration, and it's non-comedogenic so you don't have to worry about breaking out!

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I haven’t had the opportunity to use this product as much as I would have liked to as we have still been getting snow and not much sun! But we did have a few sunny days and I decided to test it out and it works great! I tend to develop many many freckles when I go out into the sun within minutes so I like to use a face sunscreen to prevent that from happening. Fortunately I was given this product free from Chick Advisor to test out in exchange for an honest review! And I would definitely recommend it to anyone who normally gets skin spots in the sun!

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) This is a wonderful moisturizer/sunblock and it's the perfect size for on-the-go travels! I tried putting it on my face to use it as a moisturizer and I found that it goes on very light and it feels very non-greasy. It does not feel or smell like a regular sunscreen at all! When I received this product, it was still snowing in Canada so I could not judge how effective it was to protect my skin from harmful UV rays but I plan on using this sunscreen during my next Las Vegas trip coming up in June. The lotion itself smells really nice and the packaging is very cute. I can't wait to test this sunscreen out at the pool! Great product!

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I use sunscreen daily on my face and neck. I received a sample of this to try and I love it. It went on so easily and didn't feel heavy or greasy. It has a nice light scent but nothing overpowering. I can't speak to how well it protects from the sun as it hasn't really been sunny in my parts but it definitely helped to keep my skin from feeling chapped against the wind and cold. It was easy to apply makeup over it and when it came time to reapply sunscreen, it didn't affect the already applied makeup. After a day my skin still felt moisturized.

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) Just got back from a week in the sun and NEUTROGENA HYDRO BOOST WATER GEL SUNSCREEN SPF 50 saved the day (and my skin)! It's a win win product with the amazing SPF factor of 50 plust a beautiful smooth application that doesn't clog pores or feel sticky. It actually moisturizes, unlike so many sunscreens out there. I love the flip top lid, easy to use, doesn't get sand inside! No odd white streaks, this is a lovely to use gel and it really stopped me from burning to a crisp! #gotitfree @neutrogenaCA @ChickAdvisor #NeutrogenaSun @NeutrogenaCanada

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I love that this is so easy to layer under your makeup. It is not at all greasy and its absorbed quickly, allowing you to do your make up right after application. It has a mild pleasant scent and is very light. Most sunscreens leave you feeling a little greasy and i love that this one does not. I have not tried it on anything but my face but i would love to try it on my arms and legs this summer as those areas tend to dry out more with sun exposure and this product moisturizes while protecting your skin from UV. Will definitely be purchasing again.

Exactly what I was looking for. No eye stinging.
I actually found this on a dermatologists list of sunscreen that does NOT sting the eyes. This was my issue with other sunscreens like my Aveeno Positively Radiant and Hawaiian Tropic Sheer Touch. I love this stuff because I can close my eyes, tuck in my lips and just go crazy covering my face . I don't get any eye stinging during application or through out the day. It goes on clear and wet and dries in a really nice way that feels like your skin is hydrated but not sticky. I feel like it leaves a healthy hydrated look rather than a "wet dewy" look that some people go for. I'll be buying this again!

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I recently received this product for free from chickadvisor. I generally wear a spf sunscreen every day and this one was perfect. It's really hard to find a product that goes on nice and doesn't leave white or a sticky residue after . I found this product was nice and creamy. Blended well and gave me added moisture under my foundation without leaving it clumpy. Wasn't sticky and didn't leave white residue. It has a higher spf so I feel very protected and I'm excited that it has the added bonus of being waterproof up to 80 min so I can enjoy the water in summer. It's perfect. Looking forward to using it more over the summer at the lake.

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I received NEUTROGENA HYDRO BOOST WATER GEL SUNSCREEN SPF 50 for free. It was a good sunscreen, providing the coverage needed to protect from the sun, but it definitely is not my favourite sunscreen. Unfortunately for me, I was not a fan of the smell of the sunscreen, so there is no way I would want to have that on my face having to smell it all day. I also was not a fan of the feel of the sunscreen. It was smooth once on, but I didn't like the feel of rubbing it on and I didn't like the way it felt on my hands after putting it on. Overall, the sunscreen does its job, but there was more I didn't like about it to want to buy again.

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I love the way this sunscreen feels on the skin! It is ultra light feeling, and absorbs super fast into the skin. It has a light, fresh floral scent, that lingers in the skin, but isn’t overpowering. My skin felt immediately hydrated. There is zero greasy feeling. My skin is soft, smooth, and dry to the touch. I loved that there was a cooling feeling, due to the gel texture, while applying. It will be a great feeling for hot summer days. I can’t wait to start using this product at the beach this summer!!
The price point is comparable to other mass brands on the shelf.
Defeinitly a must have to keep in your purse this comming summer!

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I am very pale and would not consider myself to be a sun worshipper at atll. I can't be in the sun long or I get fried.
My makeup has SPF but I realized recently that SPF in makeup does almost nothing... wow. I've been trying sunscreens so often in prep for summer, my condo looks like a pharmacy. I've even bought sunscreens from Japan (no joke) which were really good.
This product is VERY good. It is non-greasy and the most important, it doesn't pill over serums or makeup like my other ones can. Scent is nice and it absorbs fast. I like it enough I'll stop buying Japanese sunscreens, as they are more expensive and take longer to get.

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) As with all my products it has to smell good if I’m gonna use it!!! And this sunscreen does!!! I got a bad burn on the first day it was sunny out and had an outdoor function the next day. Not wanting to wear long sleeves I slathered myself with this sunscreen and it was perfect! I felt cool and did not burn anymore that day!! I like how it feels like a cream and not just another sunscreen that I feel are always too oily! Not this one it’s oike a lush cream but it’s sunscreen!!!! Now to just remember to put some on before I go out in the sun !!!!

I've been always on the look out for for a lightweight but durable sunscreen and so far this hasn't disappointing. I've unfortunately only been able to try it out on my face as it is still far too cold for t shirts and beach weather :( but i have no complaints as of yet. The lotion went on smoothly on my face and i was able to apply make up over top of it worry free. It isn't super thick and the smell isn't overpowering which is awesome :)

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) Right off the bat, this product doesn't smell like coconuts or anything else like that. Thank the lord. I'm so sick of smelling like a walking fruit stand when it comes to sunscreen.
This product is also very light feeling. So I mix it with my foundation to give me some sun protection. I'm really liking it. It's only spf 50, but that's just fine for the face. It doesn't feel like you're weighed down with lotion either which honestly is a breath of fresh air. Would I purchase this for my entire body? No. For my makeup routine and face, for sure.

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) we finally have some nice weather so I was able to put this lotion to the test.
Pro:
- a little goes a long way
-Great UV protection
-No streaks
-Absorbs well and quickly
Cons:
- it is more a lotion than a gel
- the cream is very liquid
-left a shiny/greasy finish to my face
- after application, my fingers felt vert dry and not smooth like they would be if hydrated.
- needs to be re-apply every 2 hours
- Smells like hair product
Overall I would not purchase this product because I find the price to be to expensive for a sunblock that needs to be re-apply this often and for the size of the tube and there are more cons and pros for me.

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I really enjoyed the water-gel texture of this sunscreen. It did not feel heavy or sticky on the skin like other sunscreens can. It felt refreshing and cool. I will really enjoy using this in the summer for days at the beach or at the park. Unfortunately, I was sent this product to test and review from ChickAdvisor while we had the second coming of winter in Ontario, so I can't speak to it's effectiveness in terms of protecting my skin from uv rays or getting a burn. However, I do trust Neutrogena with sun protection and have enjoyed their sunscreens in the past, so I have no reason to assume that this wouldn't do a good job of protecting.

I haven't found a sunscreen alone that has not left my face feeling greasy or like there is a thick layer on my face. This cream doesn't do that at all. It feels so light weight and my face does not feel greasy under my make up at all. The smell isn't too bad. Not a strong sunscreen smell which is nice. Only a little bit is needed. It is an extra step I do prefer face creams with sunscreen already in it but i don't mind using this as an extra step!

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) This non greasy sunscreen quickly became my go to because it doesn’t leave a white residue on skin. I always hated to see white smudge marks, from my fingers, in my car’s interior after applying sunscreen on hands and getting behind the wheels. I don’t have that problem anymore!! Also, this sunscreen provides very effective protection. I used it under the Palm Springs scorching sun and my skin had no sun burns!! It hydrates and protects skin from the sun and does not make my skin look white or transferwhite residue on everything so I love it!!

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) This sunscreen is one of the best I have tried so far! The texture is not thick and greasy like the majority of sunscreens out there! Also, the colour is white when it comes out but it doesn’t show up white on your skin, like most sunscreens do, it’s great!!! The fact that this doesn’t clog your pores is also super important to me because I get acne and my pores can get clogged easily! I will purchase this sunscreen in the future and recommend to all skin types, especially dry skin that needs hydration in the sun, along with the SPF of course!
