But for the moment, this is a quick guide to each Hydro Boost fragrance situation.

Which Neutrogena Hydro Boost is Fragrance-Free?
Neutrogena offers a Fragrance-Free Facial Care Line. There are four products in this line, which contain no added scents. This way any possible skin irritation, contact dermatitis, rashes, or allergy can be avoided.
Importantly, added fragrances may have some amount of alcohol, harsh chemical compounds, or essential oils which could dehydrate the skin or even trigger flare-ups of pimples.
Here is a list of Neutrogena Hydro-Boost products that do not contain fragrance:
- Hydro Boost Hydrating Cleansing Gel
- Hydro Boost Hyaluronic Acid Serum
- Hydro Boost Gel-Cream Extra Dry
- Hydro Boost Hyaluronic Acid Moisturizer SPF 50
- Hydro Boost Hydrating Tint for Dry Skin
- Hydro Boost Hydrating Concealer
Hydro Boost Hydrating Cleansing Gel
This is a mild glycerin-based cleanser. It creates a mild foam to get rid of grime while protecting the skin’s moisture barrier. It doesn’t dry out the skin surface like standard surfactants.
Hydro Boost Hyaluronic Acid Serum
The serum is a day-long skin treatment made of 17% hyaluronic acid, pro-vitamin B5, and many humectants that lock in moisture. It keeps your skin soft and smooth all through the stress and pollution of the day.
It can be applied right after the cleansing gel. It also contains trace amounts of mica and titanium dioxide to protect against the sun and give your face a little shimmer.
Hydro Boost Gel-Cream Extra Dry
A combo of the fast absorption of gels and the velvety, luscious texture of a cream, using olive oil emulsifiers. It is weightless and airy, with no added dyes. It works using the custom Liquid Crystal Gel Matrix technology.
Hydro Boost Hyaluronic Acid Moisturizer SPF 50
This is the alternative to the Hydro Boost Sunscreen which has fragrances. It is suitable for all skin types, does not contain mineral oils, and is hypoallergenic. It is rich in antioxidants such as Vitamin E that prevent wrinkles, skin aging, and damage.
Other than the bespoke Fragrance-Free line of Hydro Boost, there are also different Hydro Boost make-up and cosmetic products that are free of any scents.
Fortunately for you, Neutrogena is fairly transparent and publishes ingredient lists. But the sub-components of the fragrances remain under wraps. So if you choose a scented product, you won’t know exactly what makes it smell so good.
At present, cosmetics without added fragrances include:
Hydro Boost Hydrating Tint for Dry Skin
This is the lightest foundation you can hope for, and it doubles up as a skin primer to even out your skin tone.
Hydro Boost Hydrating Concealer
Without fragrances, this concealer is 100% safe for your eyes. They have been ophthalmologically tested and can be used for under-eye coverage without any adverse reaction from sensitive eyes or eyelids. It is also apt for people who use contact lenses.
Hydro Boost Plumping Mascara
A scented mascara would be strange, so the lack of a fragrance in this product is not surprising. But be careful – the waterproof version does have fragrances, so check the label.
