Brand note
Neutrogena is the drugstore brand that dermatologists actually use — their Hydro Boost line, especially the gel-based moisturizers and the tinted lip oil, come up repeatedly as no-fuss, fragrance-free options that deliver real hydration without irritation. The Hydro Boost Hydrating Tinted Lip Oil is a standout: it's a thick, cushiony formula that stays put and hydrates without fragrance or flavor, though it lacks SPF.
