Blephasol Micellar Eyelid Cleansing Lotion | Effective and Gentle Cleansing for Make-Up Removal, Inflamed and Sensitive Eyelids | Soap & Alcohol-Free | 100ml

If you suffer from blepharitis, you know how incredibly frustrating the symptoms can be - sore, swollen eyelids, relentless itching, and that awful, gritty "sand in the eye" feeling. I originally picked up Blephasol to manage the dry skin and irritation around my own eyelids, and it has become an absolute staple in my daily routine. Industry Insight: For full transparency, I work in the optics industry. Through daily conversations with optometrists and eye care professionals, I can confidently say that this specific formula is widely considered the best eyelid cleanser currently on the market. I see it recommended to patients constantly, which is why I trust it for my own eyes. Usage Experience: This micellar solution is incredibly gentle. I use it daily on a lint-free cotton pad to cleanse the delicate skin around my eyes. Not only does it effectively clear away the debris and flakes associated with blepharitis, but it doubles as an exceptionally good, non-irritating makeup remover. Unlike standard face washes or makeup removers that can strip the skin and exacerbate eye conditions, this leaves the area feeling soothed, clean, and hydrated. Pros: Optometrist Recommended: Highly regarded by professionals in the optical field. Multi-purpose: Effectively treats blepharitis symptoms while safely removing eye makeup. Extremely Gentle: Provides an instant soothing effect on sore, gritty eyes without stinging. No Rinsing Required: Very convenient for quick morning and evening routines. Cons: Sensitivity: As with any topical product, a very small minority of people might experience a mild reaction, though it is exceedingly rare given the hypoallergenic formula. Application: You do need to supply your own high-quality, lint-free cotton pads (standard cotton wool can leave fibers behind). The Verdict: If you are struggling with itchy, gritty eyes or diagnosed blepharitis, this is a must-have. It genuinely works, it’s backed by eye care professionals, and it provides immense relief. Highly recommended!

Although this cost a lot (but cheaper here than elsewhere), it's worth every penny. My adult son & I both have blocked-gland dry-eyes (diagnosed by good optician) & so were recommended to use this - but it's much cheaper here than from optician's! We were recommended to first use a hand-hot wet flannel over closed eyes for 10 minutes (to "melt" the waxy gunk plugging the gland ducts [this is presumably a solidified version of the oily tear layer that they secrete]) & then to gently rub the lower eyelids in a circular motion to hopefully at least partly squeeze the gunk out of the gland-ducts & after that, we were told, we should put a little Blephasol on a bit of cotton wool & wipe the lower eyelids with it, pushing down slightly inside the lower eyelid – so I looked up eye anatomy & this instruction is because the oily-tear-layer secreting glands are just inside the lower eyelid. What we actually do is: we ignore the warm-compress stage & instead of using a bit of cotton wool we use a cotton-bud, very carefully NOT poking it into the eye of course! & instead of pushing down slightly into the lower eyelid, we pull down the lower eyelid a bit (by pulling on either the skin underneath it or on the lower eyelashes) - we reckon this is much safer than pushing anything inside the eyelid, however slightly inside. My son (who has this worse than I have), says his eyes have never felt so good! - & he said this after only using it for 2 days! - & they've continued to improve - & he now takes the Blephasol with him wherever he goes when he's away overnight! I looked up why it works & its micelles attach chemically to oils/waxes, hence its ability to, it seems, pull out of the gland-ducts, bit by bit, the oily-tear-layer that's gone waxy – & being as the oily-tear-layer's function is to stop the watery-tear-layer from evaporating, this is why people with this type of dry eye have runny eyes, as the eyes are trying to compensate for the lack of oily layer & for the watery layer evaporating over-quickly, but can't do as good a job without the oily layer & so the eyes are still uncomfy (& in my case my lids were sticking to my eyeballs overnight, most unpleasant! - I had to rub them hard to un-stick them before opening them!). One very minor groan - being as it's nicely free from preservatives, I'm surprised it doesn't say to use it up within 2 months of opening (as with other preservative-free eye drops, such as hyaluronic acid - incidentally that actually made my eyes worse! - made them go from glands being "mostly blocked" to "completely blocked"!) & so I'm surprised it doesn't come in say 5 x 20ml bottles instead of 1 x 100ml bottle – but on the other hand, I'm glad that it'll theoretically last longer, cos it's unlikely that even 2 of us will get through all 100ml in just 2 months! - as you only need a teeny bit on the cotton bud. UPDATE JULY 2015 – a personal theory – all feedback on this theory welcome! Our good optician added that it's so far unknown why some people get these blocked tear glands & others don't. My personal theory is that it's something to do with pollen allergy or sensitivity, as the few people I know who have this all have hayfever - so I postulate the theory that the pollen sensitivity makes the people produce antibodies &/or more hyaluronic acid (very long-chained chemical found in tears, makes tears less watery & more likely to stay spread over the eyes, once spread by eyelids) & that the antibodies &/or hyaluronic acid combine with the oily layer produced by the glands in the lower eyelids, thus altering the oil in those glands from oily to waxy, thus blocking those glands, thus causing the blocked-duct dry-eyes. Of course the allergy or sensitivity needn't necessarily be to pollen, as it could be to cat dander or dust mites, etc., although I'd imagine those are less airborne. Anyone any thoughts on this?

Only been using it 2 days but seen great improvement in my eyelids, blepharitis almost all gone, my eyes are no longer dry crusty and swollen when i wake up. Easy to use, good packaging seems sturdy and the liquid is not sticky, also odourless.

Parece que alivian algo, aunque al aplicarlas sientes un fuerte escozor de ojos. El problema es para ponerte las gotas, ya que el agujero es tan grande, que prácticamente cae a chorro, por lo que he tenido que comprar un gotero para ponérmelas.

Blephasol Micellar Eyelid Cleansing Lotion has been a great addition to my daily routine, especially after long hours at the computer. I used to feel dryness and discomfort around my eyes in the evening, but using this twice daily has made my eye area feel noticeably cleaner and more refreshed. The product has a clear liquid texture and feels very lightweight on the skin. The formula is fragrance-free and preservative-free, making it ideal for sensitive skin. It’s mild, non-irritating, and gentle enough to use around the delicate eye area. I apply it by soaking a cotton pad and gently wiping the eyelid with my eyes closed. It’s quick and easy to incorporate into a morning or evening routine. Highly suitable for individuals with sensitive skin or those seeking to maintain eyelid hygiene after prolonged screen time.

J’adore !!! Gain de place, pratique et très sympa !!
