Common questions

Is Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel Moisturiser fragrance-free?

No. Fragrance (listed as "Parfum") is the 37th of 38 ingredients.

Does Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel Moisturiser contain alcohol?

No drying alcohol (alcohol denat. or ethanol) is listed.

Is Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel Moisturiser safe for fungal acne?

It contains 2 ingredients that fungal-acne (Malassezia) guides usually avoid: fatty-acid esters & glycerides (cetearyl olivate, sorbitan olivate). How much they matter depends on the amount and the rest of the formula. The evidence comes mainly from lab studies of yeast growth, and fungal acne needs a diagnosis from a GP or dermatologist.
