Sitting in a 12‑square‑meter apartment in Dubai, my friend Sakshi is paying ₹45,000 a month for a tiny room. She realized that spending so much on rent also means you need a skin routine that’s as efficient as your living space.
Enter Neutrogena Hydro Boost Gel‑Cream, a 60ml tube that feels like a light mist on your skin. Its key ingredient, hyaluronic acid, pulls 1,000 times its weight in water, leaving your skin plump without a greasy feel.
The texture is a lightweight gel that slathers on quickly, absorbing in seconds. I finish in 30 seconds—no need to clutter your cupboard with multiple creams.
The price? ₹590 at most drugstores and online markets, plus free delivery for orders over ₹1,000. It’s a fraction of what a single high‑end moisturizer can cost, letting you keep your budget in check while you’re paying for that rent.
You can layer it under a sunscreen or a serum for extra protection. If you’re looking for a complete routine, pair it with The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% for unclogged pores, also stocked at similar price points.
So, next time you’re tempted to splurge on a bulky anti‑aging cream, reach for this gel‑cream. It’s the perfect companion for a tiny Dubai apartment—lightweight, budget‑friendly, and a real game‑changer for your skin.
