Common questions
Is Neutrogena Hydro Boost Night Cream fragrance-free?
No. Fragrance (listed as "Parfum") is the 41st of 41 ingredients.
Does Neutrogena Hydro Boost Night Cream contain alcohol?
No drying alcohol (alcohol denat. or ethanol) is listed. It does contain cetyl alcohol: a fatty alcohol that softens and thickens the formula and isn't drying.
Is Neutrogena Hydro Boost Night Cream safe for fungal acne?
It contains 5 ingredients that fungal-acne (Malassezia) guides usually avoid: fatty acids (palmitic acid, stearic acid); fatty-acid esters & glycerides (isopropyl palmitate, 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.
Is Neutrogena Hydro Boost Night Cream suitable for sensitive skin?
It contains fragrance, which can bother sensitive skin. Patch-test it before using it all over.
