If there’s one thing we’re always looking for more of, especially in these dog days of summer, it’s hydration. Whether you’re filling up your water bottle more than usual or reapplying moisturizer more than twice a day, the heat has our bodies begging for extra hydration head to toe. For television and movie stars Lana Condor and Jennifer Garner, this drugstore moisturizer is the key to keeping their skin quenched and camera-ready year round.
Condor and Garner’s favorite drugstore moisturizer
Though we often associate A-list beauty routines with pricey, luxury products, both Condor and Garner find themselves gravitating towards drugstore staple brand, Neutrogena, specifically the brand’s Hydro Boost Water Gel ($27). Formulated with hyaluronic acid and glycerin, Neutrogena’s Water Gel locks in moisture for long-lasting, skin-loving hydration.
Condor on the wonders of water gel
Trusting a product for use on your wedding day is no small feat, and Neutrogena’s Water Gel is such a staple in the To All The Boys I Loved Before actress’ routine that she incorporated it into her wedding skin-prep. Condor wanted a super dewy, hydrated look for her wedding, she shared with InStyle, so she stuck to her reliable products and rituals to make sure she was glowing (and glowing she was!). “I drink so much water and really do think it has an effect on the health of my skin. I want to be super glowy,” she begins. “I also know I will not try new products on my wedding day. I’m going to stick with my tried-and-true products.” One such product was, of course, the Hydro Boost Water Gel, which the 26-year-old credits with being key to her plump, moisturized complexion.
Garner on the product she calls her “baby”
Again, when a celebrity refers to a product as their “baby,” we don’t take it lightly, especially when it’s Jennifer Garner. Garner is an ambassador for Neutrogena, as is Condor, but she swears that the Hydro Boost Water Gel has made the most difference in her skin. “It’s just so satisfying, you instantly see the difference,” she told InStyle, “I did it on my hands before starting to talk to you, and I couldn’t even believe—I was like, well, damn. We all want the instant fix, right? Nothing is faster than plumping your skin as it’s sitting on your body.”
