you know this might be one of the best eyelid wipes out there
eyelid hygiene is probably the most important things you can do to control blepharitis
dry eyes and eyelid cleansing wipes is a big part in eyelid hygiene so which eyelid wipes
out there are actually worth the money which ones work the best let's focus in
hey howdy everybody this is dr neal guymon, dr eyeguy and i do videos all about the eyes to help
you with your eyes for this video i've actually tested eyelid wipes throughout the years and i've
come up with a list that are probably some of my favorite eyelid wipes that i think are definitely
worth a try to help you with your blepharitis and dry eyes now why is it even important to consider
cleaning your eyelids usually when we're talking about cleaning eyelids it involves eyelid hygiene
and that can involve warm compresses cleaning the eyelids with the eyelid cleansing foam or eyelid
wipe eyelid massages and this all helps control your blepharitis helps treat dry eyes and so it
can be very very important now we all have natural bacteria sitting on our eyelids and eyelashes
and when we shed dead skin cells sometimes those dead skin cells will accumulate on the base of the
eyelashes and then bacteria or natural flora can collect in those dead skin cells and overpopulate
and they can produce toxins which will create this biofilm on the eyelids or the eye and it'll
cause inflammation redness dryness can cause meibomian gland dysfunction and so it can kind
of wreak havoc so it's super important to do your best to try and clean those dead skin cells
get that bacteria off of the eyelids so you can kind of break that nasty cycle
that causes blepharitis and dry eyes now there are many different eyelid wipes for many different
purposes out there so let's go over a few of them that i think are definitely worth a try now what
eyelid wipes have you used that's worked best for you definitely leave it in the comment below i'm
always curious to hear what other people use and what works best for them now i feel bad if
i didn't include this brand in this video ocusoft lid scrubs and these are readily available you can
get them pretty much anywhere you can get them off amazon you can get them at your local store
walmart what's nice is they've been around a while and they've come up with different
formulas depending on what you need they even have one specifically for allergies
they have some that are nice and gentle for youngsters and babies they have kind of a normal
formula and then a plus formula depending on how bad your blepharitis is and really it's probably
one of the more affordable lid wipes that you can get now i probably would recommend the plus
formula it's pretty nice because it's rinse free you can actually wipe your eyelids and leave it on
there so it's really convenient and probably the one that i would recommend picking up if you need
them and you just need to go to the store pick them up today a runner up to the ocu softly scrubs
would be the sustained lid wipes also very common i actually do like them you do have to rinse your
eyes with this formula though but definitely this is one to consider as well another helpful use
for eyelid wipes is to treat demodex mites there are these tiny little mites that can get on the
base of the eyelashes and cause similar symptoms blepharitis dry eyes and i would recommend mediviz
eyelid wipes to help treat that demodex now mediviz eyelid wipes has tea tree oil in there tea
tree oil has been shown to help treat and get rid of mites now this is a little bit stronger eyelid
wipe you can also use it for blepharitis and cleaning your eyelids when i use it i could tell
my eyelids were a little bit sensitive afterwards so it is a little bit stronger eyelid wipe
but definitely if you need something that strong if you're shooting to control and treat demodex
mediviz is what i would recommend now for all these eyelid wipes i'll definitely hook you up
with a link in the description below so you can check out prices and check out more information if
you want to real quick if you like these types of videos definitely hit that like button for me now
let's head on to the next eyelid wipe now stepping it up a little bit in the eyelid wipe category
another one i'd recommend is blephadex eyelid wipes now this eyelid wipe also has tea tree oil
in there to help with the demodex mites but it's at a lower concentration so it's a little bit more
gentle on the skin we're also getting into the wipes that put a little bit of hydration this one
has coconut oil in there that can be more soothing for the skin and actually make your eyelids feel
really nice after you clean them and so this one is definitely one i'd recommend it's a little bit
more expensive but also can be worth it now for the star of the show and the eyelid wipe that's
becoming my favorite and it's new it's called hylawipe from tear restore and i've noticed when i
use hylawipe my eyelids actually feel really good afterwards sometimes my skin my eyelid skin might
be irritated after cleaning them and rubbing them but not with hylawipe it actually feels pretty
good and there are a few ingredients in there that i think it kind of puts it up above the rest now
this one also has tea tree oil as well again a lower concentration so it's not very irritating
to the skin they also put hyaluronic acid in there hyaluronic acid is used for skin hydration
they're also putting hyaluronic acid in a bunch of beauty products as well so it's actually pretty
cool to actually put it in an eyelid wipe and i think that does make a difference it helps soothe
the skin after you use it another unique thing is they put green tea extract in the wipe green tea
extract has some anti-aging properties soothing properties antioxidant properties and so it can
actually help sun damage skin on there and so also very unique and very helpful to have it in
an eyelid cleansing light one thing that you also notice that it actually smells really good
and i actually like the smell of it other ones smell really good too because they have that tea
tree oil in there and it smells really good and really fresh this one smells specifically good
another good thing if you compare it to other eyelid wipes is the size of this thing is
humongous which is awesome you definitely have more space to clean your eyelids with and so
definitely better than the other eyelid wipes blephadex also has a bigger wipe in it as well
and but yeah definitely worth it because the wipe is just huge and it's super
soft compared to the other ones uh super gentle on the skin now if you're looking
