What it does

Deeply moisturises, strengthens the skin barrier, soothes itching and redness, and supports the repair of dry, damaged eyelid skin. A UKCA-registered ointment specially designed for eyelid conditions such as blepharitis, and for dry, flaky, itchy and red eyelids.

Key ingredients

Petrolatum and phytosphingosine (barrier), colloidal oatmeal and oat extract (soothing), vitamin E, panthenol and allantoin (repair and protection), shea butter and squalene (moisture). Fragrance-free and preservative-free.

Original or lanolin-free?

Original contains lanolin for the richest, longest-lasting feel. Lanolin-free swaps it for cupuaçu butter and a lighter emollient, for anyone who reacts to lanolin or wool alcohols or just prefers a lanolin-free option. Same barrier, soothing and repair ingredients. Both are £9.99.

How to use

Wash your hands. Take a small amount on a clean fingertip and gently apply to the upper and lower eyelids of both eyes. Ideal at night. Reapply as often as needed.

Safety

For external use only. Use on the skin around the eye, not in the eye. Keep out of reach of children. Do not use if you are allergic to any ingredient, or if the packaging is damaged or unsealed. Use within 6 months of opening.

Delivery & returns

Free UK delivery on orders over £20. 30-day money-back guarantee, even once opened.

Why an ointment, not a cream

The best thing to put on sore, flaky eyelids overnight

Blepharitis, eczema-prone skin and daily lid cleansing can all leave eyelid skin dry, cracked, itchy and red. Creams help during the day, but at night the skin needs something that stays put and stops moisture escaping for eight hours.

That’s what an ointment does. BetterLids Ointment pairs an occlusive base with the skin’s own barrier lipid (phytosphingosine), then adds colloidal oatmeal to calm itching and panthenol, allantoin and vitamin E to support repair. No fragrance, nothing to sting.

Cleanse first. Ointment at night. Cream by day if you need it.

Eyelid ointment FAQs

Your questions, answered

Answered by our optometrist-led team. If your symptoms are severe or getting worse, see your optometrist.

What is the best ointment for dry, flaky eyelids?

One made for eyelid skin: fragrance-free, preservative-free and rich enough to stay put overnight. BetterLids Ointment combines a petrolatum barrier with phytosphingosine, colloidal oatmeal, vitamin E, panthenol and allantoin, and is UKCA-registered for eyelid use.

Can I use it with blepharitis?

Yes. It’s specially designed for eyelid conditions such as blepharitis. Keep up daily lid cleansing and a warm compress, then apply the ointment to soothe and protect the skin.

Is it suitable for eczema on the eyelids?

It’s fragrance-free and preservative-free and made for sensitive, dry, scaly skin. If you have diagnosed eczema or dermatitis, use it alongside the advice of your GP or pharmacist, and patch test first. If you react to lanolin, choose the lanolin-free version.

Will it blur my vision?

Use a rice-grain amount on the lids only, not in the eye. Applied at night, any slight greasiness is gone by morning.

Ointment or cream: which do I need?

Ointment for night and flare-ups: it’s richer and stays put. Cream for daytime: it’s light and works under make-up. Many people use both for 24-hour care.

Can I use it with contact lenses or eye drops?

Yes. Apply to the lids after taking lenses out at night. Use eye drops separately and let them settle before applying the ointment.

What’s the difference between Original and lanolin-free?

Both share petrolatum, phytosphingosine, shea, squalene, colloidal oatmeal, oat extract, panthenol, allantoin and vitamin E. Original adds lanolin for the richest feel. Lanolin-free uses cupuaçu butter and hydrogenated polyisobutene instead, and suits lanolin-sensitive skin.
