Eyelid wipes

1. Wash your hands.
2. Remove a wipe from the sachet and close your eye.
3. Wipe from the nasal corner outwards across the lashes.
4. Use a fresh wipe for each eye, and dispose of it in the compost bin, not down the toilet.

The manufacturer's product page says to use the wipes twice a day, morning and evening, as part of an eyelid hygiene routine.

Hypochlorous Eyelid Cleansing Spray

Spray onto a gauze or cotton pad and gently wipe over closed eyelids, eyelashes and eyebrows, or along the eyelid margin with a gentle back and forth horizontal motion. Do not use the same pad for both eyes. You can also spray it directly onto closed eyes. Leave to dry naturally. Use 2-3 times a day, or as necessary. The spray is not intended for use as a make-up remover. Use within 3 months of opening, and do not store it above 28 degrees Celsius or in direct sunlight.
