Who the Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel Moisturizer 50g is for

Buy it if: Oily and combination skin in humid conditions, where a humectant works as intended.

Avoid it if: Anyone in dry or air-conditioned air using it alone, and anyone sensitive to fragrance.

Who the Tweezerman Slant Tweezer Stainless Steel is for

Buy it if: Anyone who has repeatedly failed to grip fine hairs with cheaper tweezers.

Avoid it if: Anyone who wants a pointed tip for ingrown hairs -- that is a different tool.
