Tips
Before You Apply Testosterone Gel – Important Details
-
Testosterone is naturally highest in the morning–applying your gel at this time every day helps mimic your body’s rhythm and keeps levels stable.
-
Let it air-dry fully before dressing. This prevents rubbing off on clothes and reduces the risk of transferring it to others (especially dangerous for women and children).
-
If you miss a dose, don’t double up. Skip it and take your usual amount the next day. Doubling can cause side effects.

Instructions for applying your testosterone gel
Testosterone gel is pre-measured and designed for simple, daily use. After applying the gel to clean, dry skin–usually on your upper arms, shoulders, or abdomen–allow it to fully air dry before dressing or coming into contact with others.Get ready
- Wash your hands thoroughly before you begin.
- Make sure your skin is clean, dry, and unbroken.
- Open the sachet or prepare the prescribed number of pump clicks. Stick to your prescribed dose–more isn’t better.
Apply the gel
- Apply the gel to the upper arms, shoulders, or abdomen, depending on your product’s instructions.
- Avoid the genitals and any broken or irritated skin. Spread the gel evenly using your hand–don’t rub aggressively.
- Let the gel air dry completely before dressing (usually within a few minutes).
Aftercare
- Wash your hands with soap and water as soon as you're done applying.
- Once dry, cover the area with clothing to reduce the risk of transferring the gel to others.
- Avoid showering, swimming, or intense sweating for 2–6 hours after application (check your specific product guidelines).
