How to clean your eyelids when you have blepharitis
Blepharitis, MGD and recurring styes have one thing in common: build-up along the lash line. Oil, dead skin, bacteria and old make-up collect at the base of the lashes, block the tiny glands in the lid and keep the irritation going.
The fix optometrists give most often is simple daily lid hygiene. The problem is what people clean with. Baby shampoo and face wash aren't made for eyelid skin and can leave lids drier and itchier. BetterLids Foam is: gentle enough for every day, rinses clean, and leaves nothing behind.
Best results: warm the lids first, then foam, then a thin layer of ointment at night if they feel dry.
Gentle enough for every day.
Four ingredients. One gentle cleanse.
No preservatives, and nothing in it you don’t need.

One pump is plenty for both eyes.
