Product Information

If you receive a meibomianitis diagnosis, there are several treatments your doctor may recommend. To reduce symptoms of meibomianitis, you may need to clean your eyelids regularly with a warm washcloth. In some cases, this treatment may be the only method for controlling symptoms. Blepharitis and Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD)is when hardened oils trapped in the gland lead to inflammation along the eyelids. In addition to this, bacteria and oil can build up along the eyelashes leading to crusting, redness, and flaky dead skin. You may experience itching, burning, watery eyes, or soreness as a result of this. These are best controlled with long term eyelid hygiene. A 2014 animal study published in the Journal of Veterinary Medical Science studied the application of a solution containing castor oil and sodium hyaluronate on pig’s eyes. The researchers found this mixture had a protective effect against eye dryness and recommended using the mixture as an artificial tear. With ample hydration, this serum from Vichy is a good idea if you struggle with dryness under your eyes. It offers a subtle plumping effect, so those looking to soften the look of wrinkles will like this one, too. Look for under eye rollers with vitamin C, antioxidants, nourishing oils, and caffeine ingredients.

Lubricant eye drops/ointments are used to treat dry and irritated eyes and sometimes to help the eye to heal. They work in various ways – most simply wet or moisturise the eyes, others can remove excess tear mucus made by the eye. Sometimes, eyes with a dry surface can appear watery, which occurs when dryness is caused by the tear film not clinging to the eye. Take frequent breaks from looking at a computer or phone. Close your eyes or blink frequently to reintroduce tears. Research suggests that when topically applied, vitamin C can help protect the skin from a whole slew of concerns, including signs of aging, hyperpigmentation, wrinkles, dryness, and uneven skin tone. It's also an antioxidant, which helps protect the skin from aggressors in the environment, like UV rays and pollution, that can damage the skin . This vitamin C serum is intended strictly for the under-eye area and went on very smoothly—during testing. We found that a pea-sized amount can cover both under-eyes—and even helps makeup, like dark circle concealer, go on more evenly. With a couple of weeks of use , we experienced an improvement in the brightness of our under eyes. While the results weren’t the most drastic (you can’t really get rid of dark circles completely), we appreciated looking a bit more well-rested in the morning. Vitamin C can irritate the skin, but we didn’t experience any sensitivity, even on a tester with very sensitive skin.
