How is everyone applying it? I feel like it will soak into a cotton ball. How about gloves?

I drop a few drops into the palm of my hand then apply it to my face by gently massaging it all over my face.

I simply dotted it on with the dropper then used my fingers to quickly smooth it over my face, worked just fine :) wash fingers immediately after doing so though.

I do about 5 4-6 drops rub against palm and smooth onto face. Most of the time I just mix 4 drops with my moisturizer step and meld the both together and smooth onto face this is the best fastest and easiest method I apply.

Wash your face first and if need be use a toner, the key to hyaluronic acid is that it has the ability to lock moisture into your face. Apply a thin coating onto the skin and let dry for about 15min. If part of your skin routine is to apply moisturizer or sunscreen then wait till the serum is less sticky. Serums absorb into the skin and lotions tend to sit on top of the skin. After that I tend to spritz my face with Na-PCA which is know to attract moisture from the air. The first couple of day I only applied it at night but now that my skin has gotten used to the Vitamin C I use it once in the morning and once at night.

It is a wet apply. Following the instructions carefully makes a successful application. Be certain to apply solution to finger tips.

I use it morning and night after washing my face. I simply turn the bottle upside down and let a drop or two fall into my palm. I rub my palms together then pat it onto my face. The trick is to CONTINUE patting it gently onto your face until it gets sticky, like sticky to the point where you feel like your hands are sticking to your face. It will feel very tacky, and that is what you want! The sticky feeling goes away very quickly.

I'm just careful about the amount I use and I can keep it from running. My skin is really sensitive so I'd prefer to limit products to the area where they're needed if possible. I agree that the consistency is very liquid, though, and it's difficult to keep it from running. I always use cotton swabs, as the cotton absorbs the product and makes it easier to control, and I also avoid touching my skin with my fingers. Awesome product, however you choose to use it!

I have only used it on my 2 pair of work boots extensively, but I have also used it some on my leather belts. I apply it using my fingers using a light coating, then repeating if needed. It will make the leather slightly darker. I plan on using it on my grandson's ball glove too. Good stuff. It offers slight water proofing and leaves a slight film so I'm not sure what the grip on the football will be. You might want to experiment on the tip of the ball.

Use oxi-clean.. Let soak in hot water for 1/2 hour .. No need to put your hands in

I do not apply it via spray bottle. I put drops on my fingers and apply to the portals (neck, wrists, inside of elbows, behind knees and ankles) It really has worked! I have also applied it via roller ball to those same points and rub in.

Not that well at all. I have to use a bottle of something called pre-tens conductive skin prep. It really works great during the summer.

it is a thin liquid. i just squirt a dropper-full into the palm of my hand, rub hands together and pat all over my face, neck and decollete'. I suppose you could use a cotton ball to apply but as expensive as it is i don't want to waste a drop. after i have spread on my face i rub any excess into the back of my hands. it is very good stuff, IMO.

Apply and rub it in really well, then wash immediately. At least, that's what I do.

I get my face wet and apply it to my fingers and work it in a circular motion. I have used it with my clarisonic but that ends up being a bit too much. This stuff is very gritty so scrubbing too hard can hurt.

You have to mix it with something like peat moss and water. Ends up almost like paper mache' consistency and is harder to apply then I had thought. It also did not go nearly as far as I thought it would. I think it actually worked OK where I applied it though. It would be easier in a powder or liquid spreader in my opinion.

I have been using this product for several months now, and when I apply the solution to the cotton pads and wipe in on the lenses it dries almost immediately. Perhaps you are putting too much on the little cloth and that is causing runs, or maybe your lenses are dirty or greasy? I clean my lenses with a lens cleaner, then make my little Fogtech cloths a bit more than damp and it works phenomenally. It should just be a wipe and go thing, no polishing or anything. I have used it on lenses with tons of coatings like anti-glare, anti-scratch and whatever else anti they offer, and this has worked for me perfectly 100% of the time.

It is like water In its consistency, with a open mouth lid. I use a cotton ball to apply it.

I agree with the others. I applied by hand directly to the face. Let dry then wash off. :)

I first purchased a kit that came with the actual tan towels and the mist. The towel was so small and would start to dry before entire body application, so I would use the mist to rewet. When I ran out of the actual towels, I still had mist left over, so I used these cotton shop towels that I had around the house to apply. Now, I only purchase the mist and use these towels. I spray some on me then on the towel, then rub in. I also use gloves because it does leave a tint on your hand. I suppose you could use your hands, but I find using the towel gets it into the skin better and provides a more even application. I never have any streaking and works great. Hope this helps!

The best way has been to run warm water over it and apply gently. I have found that I really don't need to apply a lot and if done gently, really doesn't bother me. This stuff is amazing. Still works in hot tropical climates, I am finding out!
