From hero skincare serums to holy grail moisturisers, the IMAGE staffers have been trialling a brand new skincare range — and the results are speaking for themselves.
Meghan Killalea, Senior Marketing Account Executive
I have very sensitive skin, and usually find it difficult to deviate from the products I consistently use. I was on the hunt for a gel moisturiser cream that wouldn’t break me out and would suit warmer climates when I travel, and I have to say I’ve been so impressed with the Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel Hydrating Face Moisturiser. It’s so light, it’s incredibly moisturising, and best of all, it doesn’t irritate my skin or break me out. I’ve been using it consistently for a few months, and it’s quickly become a favourite of mine.

I love to keep my skincare routine nice and simple, while still extremely effective. My goal with my routine is to keep my skin plump and hydrated, so the Neutrogena Hydro Boost range is a godsend. In particular, I love the Hydro Boost Hyaluronic Acid Serum – I’ll use this after a hydrating milky toner and before moisturiser, and it just locks in all moisture and keeps my skin looking fresh, youthful and plump! A good hyaluronic acid is a skincare essential in my not-at-all-an-expert but skincare-loving opinion.
Top tip: Put this on while your skin is still damp from either your cleanse or toner, this will lock in moisture and give you optimal hydration for your moisturiser to sit on top of.

I have always struggled with very dry and sensitive skin, so I’m always very picky with what I use. This year, I have made a conscious effort to look after my skin, and have seen such a huge difference in how bright and moisturised my skin looks. Two products that have been a game changer for me are the Neutrogena Hydro Boost 10% Niacinamide serum and the Hydro Boost Hydrating Fluid SPF50. I can’t live without these!

I love a double-cleanse and Neutrogena’s Hydro Boost Water Gel Cleanser is a perfect fit for an end-of-day cleanse. It gently washes away make-up, it’s fragrance-free, and it leaves skin feeling lovely and fresh – ideal for sensitive skin. And, of course, I’d be lost without my Neutrogena Retinol Boost Eye Cream – it’s a great retinol starter product if you’ve been thinking about adding it into your routine. I use it two to three times per week before bed and I’ve noticed a visible reduction in my undereyes’ fine lines and wrinkles, no matter how I sleep! I usually pair this with my facial roller (stored in the fridge!) to help depuff and it’s made a huge difference.

I’ve been using Neutrogena products since my teenage years, and the Hydro Boost Water Gel Cleanser is one I return to time and time again. It gently removes makeup while effectively cleansing the skin. I’ve found it helps with blemishes without irritating my overly sensitive skin, which is a huge plus. When my skin needs an extra boost of hydration, I reach for the Hydro Boost Water Gel Moisturiser. It leaves my skin feeling replenished, balanced, and refreshed. For days when I’m on the go or travelling, the Neutrogena Make-up Remover Wipes are a staple in my routine. They’re incredibly convenient and make removing make-up quick and effortless.

I’ve been trialling and loving the latest Neutrogena Collagen Bank Moisturiser; it’s non-greasy, dries in fast and leaves a gorgeous glow to the skin, plus it comes supercharged with bakuchiol, a plant-based retinol alternative that’s suitable for all skin types, to support and defend the skin’s natural collagen while fighting signs of ageing.
