The Edyt Score

4.5 / 5.0

Key ingredients 4.4/5

Hydro Boost Water Gel daily moisturizer with hyaluronic acid. The classic face gel, not Extra Dry.

Targets 4.5/5

For normal or combination skin that wants a light gel. Skip Extra Dry if this is enough.

Formula standards 4.5/5

It can tack and then sink. Dry cheeks may still want a cream at night.

The verdict

The default Hydro Boost face. Extra Dry if you wake up tight.
