Hydrophillic means "water-loving", as opposed to hydrophobic. Lipids are hydrophobic, proteins are hydrophillic. Hydrophillic substances cannot cross the the lipids of cell membranes, therefore their receptors are on the membrane, while lipid receptors are in the cytoplasm. Both of them affect DNA, only hydrophillic ones use second messengers because proteins can't get inside the cell.
