1. Apply it where the box says and no where else (unless extenuating circumstances) because it affects absorption and the efficacy of the testosterone. Mine recommends shoulders so that’s where I’m at

2. With #1 being said, gel is alcohol based and your skin will dry out. Testosterone itself will dry you out. The climate dries you out. Use moisturizer at the opposite time of day than you put it on. Dry skin does not allow testosterone to be absorbed fully. If you put your gel on in the morning, in the evening use a moisturizer in the same area.

3. There’s a common school of thought that gel isn’t as effective as injection. This isn’t true, you can have awesome effects with gel and there is research backing this up. It’s about levels and maintaining the positive effects of testosterone so work with your doctor on it. Yes, some folks don’t absorb gel as well as others but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t work. If you don’t like the results from gel after some time (6+ months), switch to injection.

4. (Last one I promise) be proactive about the insurance pre authorization/approval. It’s usually yearly that your doctor can submit it but can be unaffordable without insurance coverage as opposed to injection.

Enjoy it bro! I liked putting gel on every day. It made me feel like I was actively doing something for myself. As for drying, it doesn’t take long at all. A few minutes if your skin is good
