I use HA after every shave.
After shaving, while my skin is damp, I apply the HA. If my skin is still actually wet I dry it in a half hearted manner first. I don't want my skin dry nor do I want it wet. I want my skin damp.
I use about a dropper full of HA. Less is okay. More is okay. It's a slimy, easy to spread everywhere gel. If there is extra on my hands I rub it up my arms because that area gets dry (for me), too; the HA has help my forearm dryness, too, and not just by a little bit.

⬅ This is one of post shave kits.
After the HA I apply moisturizer next, letting the HA dry a bit first. After the moisturizer has dried some and before it's 100% dry I apply my aftershave splash.
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.View attachment 1178431
Sometimes I shake it up and apply a splash after the HA and before the moisturizer. I used to use just HA and a splash, but found my results were slightly better using both HA and a moisturizer.
There's only one rule: HA is always first and always applied to damp skin.
If my skin is especially dry feeling I might wash my face in the evening and then go with a second application of HA and moisturizer. I don't have to do this very often (but only because of using HA after every shave).
Since I began using HA my shaves have improved, the comfort level of my skin has improved, and not just a little bit, and I'm far more handsome. A small bottle lasts a couple of months or longer, and the refill bottle is an even better deal (except it doesn't have the very useful eye dropper, so keep the small bottle and refill it).
That's all I know about it, but I decided it was time for an update on how I use the product.

One of the above statements might cause a certain character's nose to grow, but mine is as large as it always has been.
Happy shaves,

Another firm believer in HA here.
I mix a very small dollop of CeraVe Moisturizing Cream with a dropper (+/-) of HA in my palms and apply to my face.
Works wonderfully.
