REBECCA'S REVIEW
I love this product. Never used to think I'd need something like this. I have very sensitive eyes & eyelids and find most cleansers irritating, so for years I just used saline and a q-tip. Also, the "pre-moistened pad" type lidscrubs irritate my lids (anything papery does).
I tried out this foam in 2007 and was hooked. I keep a bottle of it in my shower and use it every morning. It's very gentle with a silky sort of feeling when it gets on my lids. I stand with my eyes closed under the showerhead and led the hot water run on them for a bit, then I get some of the foam on my fingertips and gently massage my lids, especially all around my lashes.
If you've got active blepharitis this may not be adequate - you may need an antibacterial of some sort. Talk to your doctor, because sometimes an antibacterial ointment or other Rx may be needed. (Incidentally if you've been using baby shampoo unsuccessfully for a long time, it's time to move on to something more sophisticated. Baby shampoo can be very irritating and can destabilize the tear film.) A lot of my customers have reported good results with Ocusoft Lidscrub Plus - some wipe their lid margins with the pre-moistened pads daily and others use the foam. I used to use the Plus foam once a week and the regular foam the rest of the time till I didn't feel I needed the Plus anymore.
