Jennifer Garner is so easy to like — and she makes looking young and spry even easier. The 52-year-old actress may be beyond the days of 13 Going on 30, but she's keeping her skin tight. The secret behind her glowing visage? She says it's the Neutrogena Hydro Boost Face Moisturizer, and right now, you can get it for just $13 at Amazon as part of the retailer's extended October Prime Day deals.
Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel delivers lightweight, intensely long-lasting hydration for smooth and fresh skin, thanks to hyaluronic acid.
Professional skin treatments like peels and fillers will set you back hundreds of dollars a pop, making even pricey moisturizers seem like a bargain. But Hydro Boost can be had for a mere $13 right now, while other celebrity-beloved moisturizers can cost hundreds of dollars.
If the ageless Garner gives a skin-care product her seal of approval, we sit up and listen. She's long been a fan of Neutrogena, so much so that she became an ambassador for the brand. In 2022, the actress shared with InStyle that Hydro Boost is one of her favorite products.
"I can instantly tell the difference — it just looks fresh and plump and better. There are all these little micro-lines that once I put this on, they go away," she said. "This is 48 hours of moisture that you're locking in with one thing, and then I don't have to worry about it. … I think it's my favorite product we've ever put out."
Hydro Boost's main ingredient is hyaluronic acid, which binds water to the skin’s surface to help give you smoother, hydrated and more supple skin. The fast-acting gel moisturizer is also lightweight, oil-free and noncomedogenic, so it won't clog your pores (and it's especially good for oily skin).
Garner is far from Hydro Boost's only fan — more than 68,000 Amazon shoppers have given the moisturizer their five-star seal of approval. Among their many accolades, they note that it works for all skin types and ages.
"I love this moisturizer," wrote one fan. "I have combination skin and this is rich but not heavy or oily. It’s a good dupe for the Clinique moisture bomb."
Another reviewer who gave it five stars said: "I have sensitive, combination skin and this takes care of everything! The scent is barely noticeable but very fresh. Does not leave your skin feeling tacky, just baby-smooth. Does not take a lot to use. I love it!"
Other shoppers say it's not quite enough — in volume and composition.
"I love the silky hydration you get with this moisturizer. It melts in your fingers and feels so good on the skin," began one shopper before adding: "My only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is because I feel like it’s missing something. I love the hyaluronic acid for my dry skin but I wish it had anti-aging or firming skin care ingredients as well [because] I find myself layering this one with additional cream for that added benefit. But overall this is perfection for dry skin and still feels light."
Another wrote: "I wish that there would be more gel cream in the container but overall a great product."
