I have used this twice and each time my skin felt rough and very tight. with a red blush. It also stung a bit at for a bit after patting my face dry. The ill effects didn't last, which is why I gave it 2 tries. After 2 I decided not to risk it further. I have used other Neutrogena products before and been very happy with them so this was a sad and unexpected result.

I have always used Neutrogena products and never had any issues. I decided to try this to see if it hydrated my sometimes dry skin. My skin feels like I have a sun burn and it is red around my eyes and chin. It became super dry around my mouth and nose. I wont use again.

I used this product 4 or 5 times before my skin became HORIBBLY dry, chapped, cracked, and burned. My skin is red, bumpy, peeling, and painful. I can’t wear makeup and even applying a general moisturizer stings like fire. This cleanser must be too abrasive for the average skin. Please consider reformulating it before other customers experience the pain and embarrassment like I am!

I've had this bottle for about 6 months and it's not even half gone. I had very dry rough skin on my face and ever since I began using this my skin feels smooth and clear. It also adds a shine to your face! I would definitely buy again and recommend this!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The thing I noticed first about the Neutrogena Hydro Boost Exfoliating Cleanser was its fragrance which was pleasant and mild. The cleanser is a clear gel with no plastic microbeads, as mentioned on the label, although there is some sort of beads (probably cellulose, which is listed in the ingredients). I could barely feel the beads on my face, so it's not super "exfoliating" in that regard, although the other ingredients might work to exfoliate without the mechanical buffing. Anyway, the cleanser produced a mild foam and my skin felt fresh after washing. Note that there a "sunburn alert" on the label because the product contains an alpha hydroxy acid, so using sunscreen is recommended when using this product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love how gentle this exfoliater is on my skin! I have somewhat sensitive skin, and had no issues with this at all. It was refreshing and got all of the dead skin off. I have already recommended it to friends and family.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I loved this cleanser. it made my skin feel nice and smooth and very clean. I love Neutrogena as a brand. I use many of their products and this is another one to add. it fits great with the Neutrogena brand!

After realizing how dry my skin was, I began searching for a cleanser that would cleanse my face without stripping the natural oils in my skin. This cleanser is very gentle and does an amazing job in cleansing your face while gently exfoliating to help get rid of dead skin. I would definitely repurchase this item.

I've been using Clean & Clear Daily Pore Face Cleanser for about 10 years or more. I thought I'd try something new that might be more hydrating to my skin. I purchased not 1, but 2 containers of this Hydro Boost Daily Gel Cream Exfoliating Cleanser with Hyaluronic Acid (because I like to keep one in the shower, and one by my sink). I've used it for about 3/4 days and the texture of my skin has completely changed and not for the better! It used to feel smooth and with average moisture, and now it's rough and super dry! I am using double the amount of moisturizer just to feel semi-normal. I hate that I wasted money on this product and learned my lesson... if it ain't broke, don't fix it! I just hope I can get back to where I was before I screwed my face up. Very disappointed.

I purchased this about a week ago and have been using it ever since. The microscopic exfoliating beads, you can barely see and can only feel when you put the product on you fingers and rub them together. Even then you barely feel them. I'm not into harsh scrubs, but if you can't feel it at all, it won't remove anything either. It so far hasn't been successful at removing any of the dead skin from my face, I have to use other products. The hydro boost part, I'm 35 so my skin is plump enough at my age, that it won't make a difference. I use moisturizer after, because this cleanser is extremely drying(makes my face look chalky). Wish I could get a refund......
