Cliradex Eyelid, Lash & Facial Wipes 20 Wipes

I have rosacea & blepharitis caused by demodex mites & I have been using Oust wipes & foam spray which has helped with the rosacea 90% but the blepharitis has remained a problem. I got these delivered yesterday & they have given me almost instant relief.I cut each wipe into 4 & use 1/4 on each eye morning & night to make them last longer. They are outrageously expensive, but they are effective.Keep your eye closed while wiping & let it dry before opening. It will sting the skin around the eye but the relief afterwards is worth it.You really feel it working.The bad reviews are by people who have foolishly got the solution in their eyes by incorrect application.I have been using them for 2 days & 20 wipes should last 20 days.I will update when I’ve finished the box.It’s so good to wake up without my eyelids being glued together & feeling scratchy...Hopefully 1 box should do it.Why isn’t this available on the bloody NHS?UPDATE JUNE 2021Although it helped temporarily alleviate the irritation & rash, it would always come back after I stopped using it & it's very expensive.I have cured my rosacea & blepharitis by using a clay & charcoal mud face mask daily for a couple of weeks & leaving on for an hour at a time & washing with a tea tree face wash.Much cheaper & has cured me of a problem I have had for about 3 years.Hope this helps someone.

Seem to be effective, do cause some stinging of the eyes immediately after use but nothing to cause concern. They clean the eyelids/lashes well. My bug bear is the cost of them ...!

I've been having problems with dry itchy watery eyes for a while but had got worse of late.So I bought these wipes after reading the reviews.The first time I used them they did sting and a I had a burning sensation... Just for a couple of minutes So thought I wouldn't use them again.But OMG it's been 24 hrs with no itching or discomfort.....bliss.My eyes are starting to itch again but nothing compared to how it was. So I'm going to do them again.its worth the initial discomfort. Amazing.

Having used eyegel containing carbomer on my eyelids before rather than in my eyes, I know how soothing and relief it brings, and I feel its the carbomer ingredient that relieves the dry eyes rather than the tea tree oil ingredient that works with this. I believe the tea tree oil helps the carbomer gel not to stick to the eyelids and leave a residue. These are way too expensive for what they are.

I was diagnosed by GPs & optometrists as having "blepharitis" for ages. Got no relief from products prescribed or suggested by the same, and eventually saw the theories online regarding dermodex leading me to try TTO eyelid wipes for any relief - I was deseperate. However, using these gave me an extremely strong chemical allergy to Oxidised Tea Tree Oil, and also Oxidised Limonene & Oxidised Linalool which are key components of the same. This now makes me extremely allergic to not only TTO, but also ALL (yes I mean absolutely ALL) fragrance/perfume/cologne/parfum/scent/essential oils, ALL flavour/natural flavourings, ALL herbs and spices (whether fresh or dried), NEARLY ALL beverages (all black, white, red & green teas, coffee, oat milk, hot chocolate, beer, wine, champagne, prosecco, almost all spirits), ALL preserved/bottled/pre-prepared vegetables, sauces, condiments & jams, ALL ready meals, takeaway-meals & almost all restaurant meals (all contain some version of the forgoing).... SERIOUSLY, DO NOT USE THIS STUFF TEA TREE OIL & ESSENTIAL OILS ARE INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS. GET A GP REFERRAL TO A DERMATOLOGIST/ALLERGIST FOR PATCH TESTING IF YOU THINK YOU'VE ALREADY BEEN AFFECTED BY SIMILAR / IBS / ECZEMA. To better manage blepharitis in the first place, go completely fragrance free in your cosmetics, toiletries, home care, laundry & cleaning products & those of everyone in your household. See your optometrist for their professional advice if you think you have some kind of infection at all.

Uses 4-terpineol, the active ingredient in tea tree oil, to kill demodex mites. These expensive wipes were developed to be used at home to supplement professional Optometrist treatment using the stronger Cliradex Complete, usually with an anaesthetic and a brush or sponge mechanism to get the miticial agent deep enough into the eyelash follicles to be effective. Not an easy process and requiring 6/7 visits. Needs supplementing with other treatments such as oral ivermectin and eyelid ointment in severe chronic cases. Unfortunately the NHS does not yet recognise demodex as the major cause of blepharitis and dry eye so your GP will not be able to prescribe the necessary drugs or refer you for treatment.Used on their own these wipes clean well but they are astringent and have to be wiped over the closed eyelids am and pm. As they also evaporate quickly there is just no way the miticide can get into the follicle to do its job. I gave up at Day 50 of the recommended 60 days as a stye developed. I shall go back to using colloidal silver for cleaning, or Natrasan. Tea tree oil itself can be very damaging to the eyes and should not be used.

Don't think these are genuine. They smell the same, but don't sting the same. Bags also look different than the pictures.

Excellent product for my dry sore eyes thoroughly cleans eyelids and eyelashes
