Why lid hygiene matters

How to clean your eyelids for blepharitis

Blepharitis, meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) and demodex all start at the lid margin, where oil, flakes, bacteria and mites build up around the lashes. That build-up blocks the glands that keep your tears stable, so eyes feel gritty, itchy, red and dry.

The fix is daily lid hygiene, done properly. A warm compress first softens thickened oils; a gentle cleanser then lifts them away along the lash line. BetterLids Gel does the cleansing part without foam, fragrance or preservatives, so it suits lids that sting with everything else.

Use it once or twice a day. For blocked glands, warm with a SelfHeat Warm Compress Eye Mask first.

Eyelid gel FAQs

Your questions, answered

Answered by our optometrist-led team. Pain, light sensitivity, blurred vision or a red eye that isn’t settling? See your optometrist or GP.

How do I clean my eyelids for blepharitis?

Warm first, then cleanse. A warm compress for 5–10 minutes softens the oil in your glands. Then massage BetterLids Gel over closed lids and lashes for 30 seconds and rinse. Do it daily, even when symptoms settle, because blepharitis tends to come back.

Is it good for demodex?

It contains terpinen-4-ol, the key compound in tea tree oil and the one used in demodex lid care. Daily lid cleansing is the foundation of keeping lash mites in check. If you’ve been diagnosed with demodex, follow your optometrist’s plan.

Gel, wipes, foam or spray: which should I choose?

Gel is the most gentle and best for sensitive or stinging lids, used at the sink. Wipes are best on the go. Foam suits oilier lids. HypoMist spray is a no-rinse option for a top-up through the day.

Does it sting?

It’s designed not to. No foam, no fragrance and no preservatives. If any gets in your eye, rinse with water.

Can I use it with contact lenses?

Yes. Take your lenses out first, cleanse and rinse, then put them back in.

Does it remove eye make-up?

Yes. The micellar water lifts mascara and liner from the lash line, so it can replace your make-up remover.

How long does a bottle last?

Around two months with daily use. Subscribe and we’ll send a fresh bottle before you run out.

Is it safe for children?

It’s formulated for adults. For children, check with your optometrist first.
