This is in response to the reviewer's suggestion to put vaseline in your nose instead of this product. You can not buy the Ayr products, I don't care, but don't use vaseline instead - it can get into your lungs and cause a respiratory problem, lipoid pneumonia. Run a web search for "vaseline in nose" and you'll pick up plenty of articles. And the vaseline package specifically warns against putting it in your nose.

Before finding Ayr Gel I would get daily nosebleeds no matter what I would do during the winter. Tried humidifying the air at home, but the dryness outside and at work were enough to cause cracking and serious bleeding from November till March. I didn't want to stick Vaseline or vicks up my nose because I hear that causes more problems with the petroleum. And using nasal sprays too much will rot out your passages because they constrict the vessels and limit blood flow. I was contemplating getting a cauterization procedure done because the bleeding was so bad and embarrassing.

Thank goodness I found this gel that can be applied in the nose. I did find that the way you apply it makes a big difference. Best way is just to take a 3/4 rice grain size dab on the tip of your finger and wipe it right at the entrance of your nose. Then massage the outside of each nostril to spread it all over the inside evenly. It lasts all day unless you have a runny nose and are blowing all the time. If you just stick the dab way up in your nose it doesn't get spread around and you'll likely just blow it out nor cover everything that needs to be protected.

Once I got this figured out I have not had ANY bleeds by applying the gel just once a day (in the morning).. I am truly amazed it has worked as well. No more having to carry a wad of kleenex around in my pockets!

I average about one tube per 2-3 weeks. Obviously in my case a few bucks is worth not bleeding to death every day!

This is far better than a room humidifer. The gel lasts longer and works better in keeping your nose moist. Has helped reduced that dry stuffy feeling.

Saline nasal gel is longer-lasting than just plain saline. The humidifying effect reminds me of a cool, misty, spring morning. Usually lasts all night; in extremely dry environments you may need to use a bit more than one application during the night.

This gel is also very useful on long airline flights where your nose gets overly dried-out -- just apply a little dab under each nostril every few hours and you'll breathe more easily the whole flight!

I have hot air heating and it dries things out in the winner. Before I started using this product, I would wake up with very dry mucus in my nose, and if I blow my nose the mucus was bloody.

I have tried several approach to reduce the dryness.
Ayr Gel put inside the nostril before sleep really did the job. I also use Ayr Saline Ayr Saline Nasal Mist, 1.69-Ounce Spray Bottles (Pack of 6) during the day if I feel a bit dry.

Ayr Gel inside the nostril works better then room humidifiers which did not solve my problem and cleaning them was a lot of work. I don't have any tingling or any other feeling. It has no odor. My nose just feels moist and fresh. It is also reasonably priced compared to other products.

I have been using Ayr Nasal Gel for the past two years at bed time and have found that it keeps my nasal passages open throughout the night and it has eliminated the stuffiness I had before discovering this product. I buy it in quantity from Amazon and save substantially from retail pharmacy's. I can't recommend it more highly, especially after this winter. Since it has been unseasonably cold making keeping adequate humidity in the home next to impossible with humidifiers and even warm mist vaporizors. Ayr Nasal Gel has provided relief that otherwise would of made my sleeping through the night extremely difficult. A small amount at the bottom of each nostril is all one needs to use and a tube will last for a reasonable time making it a cost effective means verses nasal strips.

It's funny... I was just thinking that saline spray would be far more convenient in a gel form, just a month before I discovered this product on the store shelf. I live in a desert and this stuff is great for the dry, dry air. Unlike regular saline sprays which evaporate practically on contact, this gel stays moist for nearly an hour and is easily remoistened with a quick squirt of regular saline spray (which Ayr makes in a bottle that has a great tip). I use it just inside my nostrils, where the dry air does the most damage. No more cracked, ouchy insides! I've also found that my sinus passages are less dry and considerably less irritated when I use the gel on a semi-regular basis. I'm guessing that's the aloe?

I was put off by the stiff asking price of this product but for me it really is worth the cost. One tube has lasted me for several months now, and I use it practically every day, sometimes several times a day. That's probably the next best thing: Because it's saline and aloe, you can use it as much as you want. That's why I'm still giving this product 5 stars, despite the price.

My physician recommended that I use Ayr Nasal Gel to relieve dryness in my nasal mucous membrane that caused an occasional nose bleed. The product works well and I was able to purchase the product from Amazon for about half of what it cost locally. The service was excellent and I heartily recommend the product and Amazon.

If you are on a CPAP or Oxygen this gel helps keep your nose from drying out. It's better than a humidifier for me because I was always getting sinus infections from the moisture. This gel works great.Ayr Saline Nasal Gel, With Soothing Aloe, 0.5-Ounce Tubes (Pack of 4)

The only reason I didn't give this 5 stars was that the gel could be a little thicker.
