I’ve been wanting to try a Neutrogena foundation for awhile now. However, with as expensive as they are for drugstore foundations I wanted to make sure to pick the right one. When I was at Target recently and saw that they had this Neutrogena Hydro Boost Foundation that was supposed to hydrate and plump the skin I knew this was the one I had to try! Keep reading to see if the Neutrogena Hydro Boost Foundation is one you should try and make sure to check out the video below to see the foundation in action.
Neutrogena Hydro Boost Foundation: Claims
Neutrogena claims that their Hydro Boost Foundation will apply flawlessly and that during application it will quench the skin so that it will look hydrated, smooth, and fresh all day. Neutrogena also says that the Hydro Boost Foundation will moisturize and plump the skin for 24 hours! Along with that the Hydro Boost Foundation will improve skin’s suppleness over time and when in use it won’t settle into the fine lines. Lastly, the Hydro Boost Foundation is formulated with Hyaluronic Acid, it’s oil-free and non-comedogenic, and can be purchased in 10 shades at most drugstores from $11.99 – $16.99 USD.

Neutrogena Hydro Boost Foundation: Review
Let’s start with wand you see in the photo above, that thing is huge! When I opened the Hydro Boost Foundation and saw it I was instantly reminded of the photos of the Clinique Foundation with the same applicator. The wand does a great job of applying product to the face without creating a huge mess. However, due to the wand applicator I feel that the foundation is a little thicker coming out of the bottle so you expect it to heavier coverage than what you actually wind-up getting, even after two layers I still didn’t get good coverage! From there I found most of the claims did not work on my skin, which is severely dry with eczema. The Hydro Boost Foundation did not quench my skin, did not moisturize it for a few hours let alone 24, after multiple uses I did not see any improved suppleness, AND when used without a primer it will settle into every line and pore that you have!
Neutrogena Hydro Boost Foundation: Final Thoughts
If you have combination, normal, or lightly dry skin then this may work for you. However, if you have severely dry skin I would suggest purchasing this at a store that you know is going to allow you to return the product if you do not like it. I’ve seen tons of reviews of people loving this foundation but for my severely dry skin it just feel short.

I have always like the Neutrogena brand. I have many of their products and have always been really happy with them.
I’ve tried a few other of their products and have liked them. I LOVE their lip crayons!
I hated to read you felt you didn’t get the coverage you wanted. You would think after two applications, you would have gotten the coverage you needed. That is super disappointing.
Exactly! I mean there’s light coverage for a foundation but that was ridiculous.
My skin isn’t overly dry, so I think this might work for me. I do know that almost every Neutrogena product I’ve tried has worked well for me.
Yeah if your skin isn’t to dry this should work pretty well for you!
I’ll probably pass on this one. I have fairly dry skin, as well, so I’d rather not go for something that won’t stand up to it. Thanks!
Glad to help you save some money!
That sounds like a great foundation for a skin type like mine. I have combination skin, and I think this would work quite well on it. I’ll have to give it a try.
Hmm it sounds like this foundation could be very situational. I have dry skin a lot of the time and I haven’t tried a foundation that is supposed to hydrate.
That is a perfect way of describing it! During periods that your skin isn’t dry this would probably work well for you.
Too bad this didn’t work for you because it is a good price point. That applicator looks pretty useful though.
It is a pretty good price point for a drug store foundation, they’ve gotten so expensive lately.
I used Neutrogena face washes for a very long time! I didn’t realize they had foundations but it’s totally something I’d be willing to give a try.
Yeah they have a whole cosmetic line with different types of foundation, blushes, lip products, etc.
Thanks so much for your honest review! I’ve seen a few reviews about this and I would love to try it! Now, I know what to expect. Thank you for sharing!
Glad to help you go in with realistic expectations. I hope it works for you!
I love this brand so much. I’ve got to check this new product out!
I will have to show this to my daughter. She is always going on and on about a good foundation. I bet she has not tried this one. She would probably love it.
Finding a good foundation can be hard!
I’m always in the market for new foundations! Definitely going to try this one- I’m a big fan of Neutrogena’s line of cosmetics!
I like Neutrogena but I’ve never used this before. It sounds like your usual foundation though.
It’s fairly new and it can take awhile for drug store products to make it to all markets.
I have yet to give this one a try. But since I don’t really put on make-up often, I just might pass up on this foundation. I still love their other products though.
Oh yes, Neutrogena has amazing other products like their lip crayons!
You can never go wrong with Neutrogena. This is one of the three brands that I actually did not have any problems with. I am sad that it did not work out for you. I guess finding the right product for your skin is always a hit and miss process.
It really is! They do have other great products though.
I’ve used this brand for many things. However, I’ve never tried their foundation before. It sounds nice!
You should give one of their foundation lines a try!
Thank you for the very helpful review on this foundation. I love Neutrogena makeup and skincare!
The hydro boost foundation sounds great. I haven’t used any in years, but I’m not adverse to trying it again.
I need to look for more foundation especially some good one that will have great coverage for the summer. Thanks for the beauty review on this Neutrogena Hydro-boost foundation.
Sounds like a very light formula. I’d have to see how many color varieties they have, especially for A-A women.
I’ve been on a total makeup kick lately. I’ll have to check this one out sometime! Thanks for sharing.
