Day four of testing The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid + B5. Too soon to tell of course but I really like this stuff. My skin feels smoother and looks healthier. It's also forty percent less than the InstaSkinCare. Will report back in ten days, happy shaves.

So, other than changing only one variable, here is my unscientific report. The Ordinary HA + B5 definitely makes my skin look and feel healthier than the Instskincare. And the two ounce bottle of The Ordinary is a third less in price. Win win for me I think. As always YMMV.

I think I got some hyaluronic acid from a UK high street store, how much would you add to the balm or whatever lotion you intend to mix it with, would you say?The CeraVe works before bed. I've started using a bit of Nivea aftershave balm mixed with Hyaluronic Acid during the day.
I use ~1/2 dropper of Hyaluronic Acid with a "dollop" of Nivea Sensitive Balm. Works great.
I came here looking for relief. After using all sorts of products on my face and never ever having problems, I have determined that I am dealing with a sensitivity to my shave balm that I have been using for a long time. It was so bad last night that I could not get any sleep. My face felt like I was being stung by a hundred bees. It was all red and puffy with red bumps.

Fumbling about.
That sounds terrible.
All the sudden it got that bad and you'd been using the same balm for a long time? Curious.
Hope you find relief soon.
Happy shaves,

My understanding is that using hyaluronic acid in low humidity is not advised. Apparently Its counterproductive and the opposite of what you are trying to achieve occurs. The H Acid actually draws H20 from the skin into the dry environment. It doesn't tell you that on the bottle go figure.
I wasn't aware HA is a humectant.
My understanding is that it doesn't necessarily attract moisture from the surroundings (like glycerine) but actually pulls water towards itself internally.
I wonder if there are any biochemists here who can clear this up for us?

Fumbling about.
I haven't tried them all, but from all I've tried Clinique Moisturizer for Men is the best. I've tried hyaluronic acid, both mixed in and before the moisturizer, and I've seen no difference in the results. I'm guessing it's possible that all the years of using the Clinique have eliminated the conditions the HA improves, but I really don't know.
I know this is not going to be for everyone but I use a couple quick pats of this post-shave:
My favorite moisturizer (I use it after every shave), is Jack Black Double-Duty Face Moisturizer. I’ve been using it for years now—have tried a few others, but this works best for me.
I agree aboutYes. A small dollop with a couple drops of Hyaluronic Acid should be just about right.
Yes, great stuff. I used to use the AM lotion as well, which contains Sunscreen, but now use a separate sunscreen
I'd say give it a month for each
