I had this struggle too! I only use mine as an occasional thing and I put it on wet skin, like not drenched but still drips of water? Basically after I shower I towel off but just do one pat on my face and put my wet hair in the towel and apply the HA.

alternatively just do a gentle quick pat after washing your face then apply and let dry before continuing your routine. And to anyone wondering micellar water wasn't adequate for me.
