Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel
Best for: Best for oily and combination skin that has historically avoided moisturiser out of concern it would increase shine or breakouts.

Contains ceramides 1, 3, and 6-II in a ratio specifically chosen to mirror the skin barrier's own lipid composition — the reason this formula shows up so often in dermatologist recommendations.
Best for dry, very dry, or barrier-compromised skin, and rich enough that oilier skin types typically prefer a lighter option instead.
