Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.

It is a chelating agent, meaning it neutralizes metal ions that may be found in a product.
Disodium EDTA is a salt of edetic acid and is found to be safe in cosmetic ingredients.
Learn more about Disodium EDTAPhenoxyethanol is a preservative that has germicide, antimicrobial, and aromatic properties. Studies show that phenoxyethanol can prevent microbial growth. By itself, it has a scent that is similar to that of a rose.
It's often used in formulations along with Caprylyl Glycol to preserve the shelf life of products.
Water. It's the most common cosmetic ingredient of all. You'll usually see it at the top of ingredient lists, meaning that it makes up the largest part of the product.
So why is it so popular? Water most often acts as a solvent - this means that it helps dissolve other ingredients into the formulation.
You'll also recognize water as that liquid we all need to stay alive. If you see this, drink a glass of water. Stay hydrated!

Neutrogena Hydro Boost Hyaluronic Acid Moisturizer SPF 50 28 ingredients
This is the product that started my skincare journey. I wanted to start getting into the habit of moisturizing and putting on sunscreen everyday, and as I hate mornings, an SPF moisturizer made sense.
I did a decent amount of research before buying this. I have normal to oily skin and hate the feeling of greasy sunscreen, so I looked for something lightweight but with a high SPF to guard me Show more
I wanted to love this for two reasons, it’s easily accessible and it says moisturizer so I really thought it was going to be hydrating.
Although my skin didn’t hate it, it also wasn’t super moisturizing and would sometimes pill on my forehead. I would consider trying if you have super oily skin.
