NEUTROGENA HYDRO BOOST REVIEW | A Biochemist's Perspective 

This line cured my acne and oily skin. I’m 29 and I’ve been struggling with acne since 12 and nothing ever worked. I love this line because it’s affordable and is effective.

I love your content! You're so informative without making everything sound overly complecated. Thank you!

Hi Kenna, can u please review “the ordinary” specifically their more powerful/popular products such as the hyaluronic and lactic acid seriums, their glycolic acid, vitamin c, skin buffet and moisturiser. I hear a lot of mixed opinions on their products and some say it’s almost worth getting one or two of their products such as hyaluronic acid or skin buffet and then splurging on a drunk elephant vitamin c because of its stability over time. I’d not only be interested in your opinion but I actually hold it in very high regard due to your expertise and honesty. Thanks love from England! X

Someone else already commented this but please review CeraVe 🙂

super grateful for this channel, even though i’m not an avid makeup user, it’s great to be able to have insight on what people are putting on their skin.

The gel cream for "extra dry skin" is fragrance and dye free. I have oily skin, but use it and it works amazing without the scent!

Love your tips!! Thanks for sharing your scientific knowledge to the beauty community 🥰💕

Thank you for this practical and useful review! Exactly the content I am looking for!

I'd love to see a review of Glossier's products, especially the milky jelly cleanser!

I actually used this line when I was younger and for some reason stopped but, I re discovered it recently and I’ve fallen back in love! Thank you for reviewing this I always appreciate your opinion!❤️❤️💛💛

As an esthetician I appreciate this review so much! Not many people realize that ingredients are a HUGE part of taking care of your skin. So thank you for explaining the importance! 10/10

They make a gel cream with no fragrance as well! I was pleasantly surprised when I was looking to repurchase the original. I didn’t have any issues using the fragrance but I have been trying to eliminate fragrance in my skincare.

This was in my recommendations and saw that I already use these products. I'm glad it is approved because it makes my skin feel amazing.

Thank you for being so thorough and taking the time to do this review. I want to get my sister moisturizing products, and I have limited knowledge (1 class of intro to chemistry 😅) on beauty ingredients. I'm excited to subscribe!

Thanks for the gel cream review! It’s what I use and I was wondering how good it was!

Hi there! Been using this for six months, and it’s been beneficial to my dry skin. I hope 🤞 this is a good review!

This is the best moisturizer for my dehydrated, sensitive skin!

Another idea for a video is to review store brand vs name brand. Specifically CeraVe vs. Walmart's Equate. Equate seems to sells several dupes at a much lower cost and I would like to know if the name brand is worth the added cost.

I’d love a series on how to make some basic makeup at home! I tried a few recipes in the past but didn’t have much success and I quit. Also would love to see chatty GRWM, chill kind of videos :)

Thank you for reviewing this!

I’ve just starting using Neutrogena products and I don’t mind them at all, and as for fragrant, I don’t mind that at all ... thank you Kenna, great review. 💕🎄🌺🎄💕

They have another moisturizer that’s exactly the same it has the same packaging it just says for dry skin fragrance free except without the colour and perfume it’s the one I get because my skin is sensitive

Kenna I started doing the massage with avocado oil you recommended and its MAGICAL! Thank you so much, I've been doing it for a month now and my skin feels much more moisturised and my nose is clearing up! You're an angel!

Yay! I’ve been waiting for this! Now a review on CeraVe would be bomb. 🥰

Has anyone told you that you look like Shailene Woodley? Beautiful ❤️

I picked up the gel cream for extra-dry skin and it’s dye and fragrance free. Works great for me!

will you do a run down on best skin care at the drugstore? I have high end favs but if I can find an affordable alternative that’d be better

I needed this review sooo much

I'm nervous bc i use this line haha

Please do a video on eye creams, what to look for, good ingredients and suggested brands!

Please test Cerave

I love that stuff especially the hydroboost body gel cream sensitive skin. It's no die or perfume and I use it on my face too.

Oh man I hate when videos don't work out (corrupt files are annoy AF). Love this review! I saw this line today actually. Thanks for the video

Hi! Love the review. I’ve also tried the products in the line.. I’ve enjoyed them. But, I do agree, they can leave out the fragrances. Important to remember to put an occlusive over hyaluronic acid! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Just found your channel and you have a new subbie!! So informative, thanks for sharing!

I love this line!! I use the gel cleanser then the serum/vitamin boost before I use the gel cream. I have dry skin and it helps keep it healthy! I don’t use the eye cream as I have the tatcha eye cream.

Thanks for the thorough review. I have been looking at this line but wasn’t sure what to pick up. I think I will give the gel Creme a go. I would love your thoughts on The Ordinary.

The extra dry skin gel cream is my life lmao. I’ve used that for years, still love it.

This is my fav moisturizer... Please don't tell me it's trash lmao 🤞

Thank you for this review!

I like your pretty and fresh makeup look! Beautiful!

I love this line of products!

Good honest review , thanks alot really . Vid is so informative

Please review the Burt’s Bees sensitive skincare line 🐝 It’s one of the best I’ve tried for sensitive skin from the drugstore.

I wish you reviewed the Sleeping Cream too. Also I would love you to review the Hada Labo Alin care line too. Especially their Eye & Mouth Cream

I love the moisturizer. I got it because I was desperately trying to find a replacement for L'Oreal Hydra-Total 5 cream gel (which I adored, but unfortunately can't find it where I live anymore). I'm definitely going to try more products from this line.

Thank you for this! Now CERAVE pleaseeeee!😍

That gel cleanser has been my staple for a year now

I needed this !!! I use this

I have got oily combo skin and I love the water gel cleanser. It has become one of my favourites.

Saw biochemist and instantly subscribed

Thank you so much for this review, it was nice and informative! Could you please comment on the comedogenicity of the gel cream? I've been tempted by it before but I'm terrified of it breaking me out 😣

Thank you for so much education on the ingredients behind skin products. It's much appreciated.

Thanks Kenna. I use the Hydroboost gel cream for extra dry skin because it doesn’t contain fragrance or dyes. I’d like a review of the Hada Labo line of products.

Thanks keena!

I really appreciated this review. I just recently bought an exfoliating cleansing gel, this serum that you talked about and the gel cream. I have been putting on the serum then the gel cream after I wash my face. I am thinking that the serum is not necessary to do but I will continue all 3 and see how it works for me.

Great review!

I would love to see a review on La Roche Posay products!

Im totally agreed about the blue color !

I also use and love the Neutrogena Body Gel. My skin feels like silk and I have very dry skin.

I use the gel day cream and it’s been amazing for me.

Thank you for this video it's funny that I ran into it the same night that I actually bought the little Neutrogena eye cream I liked it and I think I'll continue using it and thank you for your input I appreciate it you are very beautiful God bless you👍💞🤗

I’d love to see a full drugstore skincare line. From makeup removal to cleansing and toning, serums, etc

Love your videos as always. Could you do a video on your opinion on Derma Rolling? Thanks!

In your professional opinion, do any anti aging creams work? Would love a video on them!

I have SUPER DRY and sensitive skin and have tried soo many moisturisers and the hydro boost gel cream is the only moisturiser that actually works with keeping my skin from drying out throughout the day. With makeup it’s AMAZING I love mixing it with my foundation

I had only just recently started using the cream, but I haven’t been able to try out the cleanser yet. The cream, I like a lot cause it doesn’t feel like I’m applying a oily moisturizer.

I use the cleanser and love it!

I love the hydro boost gel cleanser which I find great for my sensitive skin. However I reacted to the cream. Don't know why. My favourite Neutrogena product is the oil cleanser. Removes makeup easily and leaves my skin feeling great.

Would you be able to review the brand “Vichy”? I want to know if it’s better then “ Elizabeth Arden” Anti aging products. Thanks 😊

I would love to see a video on just eye cream. What ingredients should we use or ingredients we should avoid? Your favorite or most effective eye cream at different price points.

Oh most people go for the fragrance free version of the moisturizer btw, i have sensitive oily skin and it’s my favorite!! you need to try the fragrance free version. It says it’s for dry skin but it’s very lightweight

I use the hydro boost like regular cleanser and the lotion cleanser, which I like better for some reason. : ) Love the whole line. I have the hydro boost gel cream (regular not extra dry skin), the hand cream (it’s pretty good but just like any other gel body cream I’ve tried), the hydro boost with the beads in it (not for me & wont be repurchasing), and the serum is good to. Hands down I love the serum so much and need more. The under eye cream is amazing and I have like 3 backup bottles. I really hope this stuff isn’t terrible for my skin. I’ll be 30 this year and I’ve been trying to take care of my skin for over 15 years now. Started when I was really young. I really enjoy your videos and your opinions. Thanks girl! Makes me so much more confident in using the cleanser. The gel cream I’ve actually switched to the PM cerave night cream? Idk how to spell but it still has the hyaluronic acid in it as well as other ceramids. It absorbs a little bit faster than this stuff for me. Sorry for the rant. Just wanted to share what I went thro with this line. It’s not a bad line actually lol *i hate that it has some fragrance* the lotion cleanser is a little bit more mild and doesn’t have such a scent.

I'd love a review of FAB beauty (specifically the coconut line but whichever) . This was good to hear though, my skin didn't like the gel moisturizer, but I gave it to my mama.

Thank you for mentioning that golden nug of info on HA and the inflammatory response it has the potential to cause. 💓🙏🏻 I’ve been using the hydro boost gel on and off because I think it is what is causing my skin to become overly plump or inflamed idk..therefore enlarging my pore appearance & I think it’s what gave my neck a weird dry patch. I did buy the fragrance free one. Idk..I use HA in the CeraVe lotion and that doesn’t seem to bother me. Anyways I know you said you are guessing they don’t use the below 50 formulation... but that lets me know this is still probably what’s causing problems for me. Still kinda stumped on the dry patch a hydro boost cream caused on my neck🤨 but I’ll probably be returning this product. Don’t think my skin is a fan. Thanks for validating the my suspicion. 😊

They make a gel cream without perfume or dye. Love this line. Is what I'm using regularly

I would love for you to review the new L'Oreal revitalift line they have an eye cream they have two serums one with hyaluronic acid the other one with glycolic acid as well as moisturizers as well

I use the hydro boost serum in combination with the water gel and water cream and it's lovely. It's working for my skin.

Love your videoooooo😍

Can you please review Cerave? Also, the extra dry hydroboost moisturizer does not contain fragrance or dye.

you are glowing sis

i use the hydro boost gel cream for dry skin, it is fragrance free although i have oily skin, it still works well for me!! because it is light weight and non-comedigenic

Interesting to see that yours has a light blue shade, here in Europe I have one that is really only white

There is two moisturising creams in the range. The water-gel-cream which is the one that she actually showed which does contain dye and fragrance and the gel-cream which is dye and fragrance free! They are the exact same formula apart from those two components! I will not lie to you when I say that this product has genuinely changed my skin so majorly! I would 100% recommend this, and if the gel-cleanser was fragrance free I’d be sure to give that a look too!

I didn't know they had a fragrance free one. I bought the gel that has the fragrance and it made my skin burn.

The “extra dry” is for sensitive skin. If you’ve had a bad experience it was probably from the fragrant oils in the regular one.

I am grateful that I do not have sensitive skin because I enjoy this line sooooo much. The gel cleanser is amazing. I use the moisturizer as well. I want to try the serum next. I am using a really great glycolic serum at the moment. The scent reminds me of laundry detergent. Perhaps a fabric softener sheet. Lol. I agree, I don't care for the blue dye. Its natural color is acceptable to me. I stock up on these items when Ulta has a sale and I have a coupon.

Thank you for the review. Could you review Simple products?

IVE BEEN WAITING FOR SOMEONE I TRUST TO DO THIS FOR YEARS

Thanks for this informational vid! I always wanted to try this line but now I'm not totally impressed! Can you review First Aid Beauty and Kiehls?

Thank you! The Neutrogena hyaluronic acid gel in the extra dry skin does not contain any dye or fragrance. .

🙏🏼🙏🏼 i hope this is good bc it’s my favorite moisturizer

This video is awesome! I’ve been looking at some of these things to buy so this came out at the perfect time! I bought the moisturizer and love it. Can you do a video about ALANI NU BALANCE capsules. I’ve been hearing some good and bad things and I’m interested in seeing your thoughts on the ingredients 🥰

love your video !! can you please discuss acne scars and which products to use to remove or clear them?

I personally don’t mind the sent in the gel it doesn’t bother my skin at all, but this line literally cleared my eczema up

Kenna please talk about Triethanolamine - whether it's a good or bad ingredient, in which products should it be used and in what concentration.

The hydro boost gel cream does come in a fragrance free version. It’s says it is for extra dry skin but I don’t think it would create issues for most people.

I use these. I love them😍

I tried the gel and moisturizer from this line. I expected to have really moisturized skin because of the “hydro” branding. Didn’t do much for me especially the moisturizer :/ I feel like I can find something more moisturizing? Or maybe my skin is way to dry.

I love that gel moisturizer so much. If you get the extra dry skin one there is no dye. Mine is white and has no dye in the ingredients.
