HA at the end for me.So for those who have been trying this for a bit, do you prefer AS splash and then apply HA, or HA and then a splash?

I think the B&M aftershave balms include HA too, they’re still fairly new I haven’t used one yet.Hyaluronic acid is supposed to be one of the better skin care ingredients as it is produced naturally by your body. Peptides are polymers of amino acids, the building blocks of protein.
Some shaving soaps contain protein such as those from silk and from various milk and milk products (whey, yogurt).
The use of hyaluronic acid is still pretty unusual in the shaving market. However, Grooming Dept does offer a Hydrating Gel that contains 2% hyaluronic acid. I have not tried it, so I do not know how effective it may be.
A 100% hyaluronic acid product would be impossible to use and I do not believe any such product exists. In my opinion every single commercial HA product shown here is using 100% HA at a solution of no more than about 5%. It is simply the standard unintelligible language of sales and marketing.but read on amazon that it was not 100% HA, but a 2% solution that used 100% HA.
Thanks for posting this. Just ordered one from Amazon Canada for under $10US.Short Version: I tried it. It works. I will never spend another godforsaken NY winter without it.
Long Version:
I have very dry skin under any circumstances, but during the NY winter it's quite unpleasant. My hands often get so dry that the skin splits enough to bleed if I forget to use lotion on a daily basis. Unfortunately, my facial skin is also pretty sensitive to most lotions, and I've never found one that didn't leave me red and irritated. As a result, I just avoid drying soaps like Arko during the winter, and accept my lot as penance for not getting pimples in high school. I make my own after shave with glycerin to help retain moisture, but this can make the face "shiny" if you add too much. Workable, but not ideal.
I'm intrigued by hyaluronic acid because it's not a lotion, and I was hopeful that it would not cause irritation. I bought some Neutrogena "Hydro Boost Water Gel", which is their flagship hyaluronic acid product. It cost me $15.00 at Walmart and has 1.7oz. I'm sure any HA product will do, but Neutrogena seems like a trustworthy brand. More importantly, I could buy it at Walmart; if I bought it on Amazon, my wife would see it and tease me mercilessly, and be emboldened in her cosmetic acquisition disorder. It seemed like a princely sum for such a small quantity, but I figured if it worked it would be well worth it.
I've been using it for 2 days after shaving, and I could feel the difference pretty much immediately. My face feels as hydrated now as it normally would on a humid July day. I don't know whether I look any different, but I don't really care. My skin feels much better than it ever has in Oct. This stuff really works, and it doesn't irritate my skin like a lotion.
Is sounds like good stuff. I did a screenshot to check it out laterThanks for posting this. Just ordered one from Amazon Canada for under $10US.
I have been using the InstaSkincare version for the last month or so and really like it. Hyaluronic acid really does make a big difference IME.

Wow times change. Back in 2015 it was vegetable glycerin both in Uber lathers or just on skin.
...The tricky think with glycerin is that too much makes the skin shiny and "sticky"...
⬅What's The Deal Here➡​ |
I read this from one of the people that bought the instaskincare brand:
WARNING: CONTAINS Phenoxyethanol--banned in Japan and Europe
I really want to know.

Most days I use either the splash above ⬆ or this one ➡. As far as I know all splashes work great with HA and a moisturizer.​ |
