The Hydroboost sunscreen comes in a blue squeezable tube – the standard sunscreen packaging common for most drugstore brands. That’s why I got this sunscreen in the first place I had previously used the Neutrogena Hydro Boost gel cream moisturizer and loved it! I figured this sunscreen would mirror the effects of that moisturizer with the protective benefits of SPF. Because of this, I typically opt for lighter, water-based product options that keep me mildly moisturized. In this post, I will be reviewing the Neutrogena Hydroboost Watergel Lotion Sunscreen SPF 50, so you don’t have to! I will preface by saying, I am a darker-skinned woman with very oily and acne-prone skin. Regardless, if you’re a long-term sunscreen wearer or brand new to the SPF world, this review will save you from having to blindly figure out if this sunscreen is for you. Plus, I hate spending that extra 10 minutes rubbing my sunscreen in, only to still look like a ghost. I personally know the struggle of trying to find good sunscreens for dark skin because many affordable ones tend to leave me looking ghost-like.
If you’re of a darker, more-melanated skin tone, you’ve probably spent years looking for sunscreens that are both light-weight and won’t leave that ashy purple-white cast on your skin.
