“Neutrogena has sold so much Hydro Boost in every single iteration, but their original gel cream for the face was innovative for the texture of it and providing hydration while being super light,” Landriscina says. “This is the same concept but brought to the body.”

“I think that most people should be moisturizing their body after every time that they shower. However, I understand that there are pain points associated with moisturizing the body during the summer, especially if you don’t want anything too heavy or you feel like you sweat a lot.

“This is a nice hydrating body moisturizer that spreads really easily. It is a gel-type consistency, so it absorbs quickly. It doesn’t feel too heavy. It’s quick to put on, and the price point’s good.

“It’s one of those dermatologist recommendations where maybe it’s not the sexiest, but it’s easy to use, it’s easy to find, it’s easy to put on, and if people aren’t dreading it, they’re going to do it.”

If humidity tends to turn your sweat glands up a notch, the right antiperspirant can make all the difference so you’re not dripping through your summer plans. 

“Antiperspirants are superior to deodorants at preventing body odor in my book because the way that they work is by actually forming a temporary plug in the sweat duct to keep sweat from coming to the surface,” Landriscina says. 

“Typically for me, I don’t find these types of antiperspirants to be very irritating, but they can be irritating for some people. I feel like the cream format of it is a little bit more sensitive-skin friendly than a gel that might have more alcohol in it or something.

“I really like this one because it’s a cream formula. It’s easy to put on. You squeeze it, but the bottle is also an applicator, kind of. You’re squeezing it out onto the applicator and then applying it.

“It doesn’t really have a strong scent to it. I’m the type of person who doesn’t love when an antiperspirant or a deodorant smells super strong.”

Landriscina says you don’t need a scent because that’s not the purpose of the product: You just want to plug the sweat ducts. 

“I like to wear other fragrances, and I don’t want things to clash. So I like that this one is kind of stealthy in that way, but gets the job done.”

If you tend to be on the sweatier side, you’ve likely already been down the antiperspirant aisle. And you likely know all about the controversy surrounding aluminum in them. 

“There’s a lot of talk around dangers and aluminum and all that. It is unfounded, and I think a lot of it comes from the stigma associated with antiperspirants from other ingredients that people had concerns with,” Landriscina says. 

“The major tip with using antiperspirants with aluminum is to use them at night rather than in the morning,” he says. “Most people sweat more during the day than they do at night. By putting it on and immediately sweating, you’re preventing it from forming those temporary plugs in the sweat duct. So, putting it on at night gives it the time to really work.”

Hot and humid weather has a way of putting your makeup to the test. Once summer sweat enters the chat, Landriscina knows it’s time to break out the setting spray.

“This provides a very fine, even mist, and my makeup will stay in place for a long time,” Landriscina says. 

“Typically, I’m not a day-to-day makeup wearer, but I will put it on if I’m on a photo shoot or something and things get hot and sweaty under the lights. I’ve found that this really keeps things in place.

For Landriscina, the biggest pull of this product is that it’s not something you need to reapply throughout the day. 

“For me, this is a one-and-done, just because the idea behind these setting sprays is that they kind of resolubilize everything into a solution, and then it dries in a layer, basically. If it's exposed to sweat, that makeup is not breaking down again.

“There are other ones that I’ve found don’t do that as much. This is an aerosol, but the ones that come in more of a pump spray don’t feel the same to me. 

“It is a better price point than a lot of the setting sprays that people might find at more luxury retailers that try to do the same thing. I feel like they really did the thing with this at the price point.”

And if you want to know whether this spray truly locks things down, Landriscina says you can feel the quality when it’s time to take off your makeup. “Especially if you’re oil cleansing to get it off at the end of the day, you feel it. Your makeup is peeling off of your face because it was set there to just sit.” So, it feels locked in right up until the moment you’re ready to wash it off.
