- Cliradex Foam - Gentle Eyelid Cleanser & Eyelash Conditioner | Daily Facial Cleanser & Safe Solution for Eyelid Hygiene - 1.5oz 4-Terpineol Formula

Bought this to get rid of Demodex mites which were irritating my eyes something fierce (lids especially). One application brought immediate improvement. Simple to apply too. I'm on the second day of use and I think it cleared them out and my eyes are just about back to normal. One note though, this stuff is has a pretty strong menthol like smell and makes your eyes tingle. And I mean REALLY tingle to where its not comfortable. But that dissipates in a few minutes. It's the terpinol, the active ingredient that causes this and that's derived from Tea Tree oil. But that's what kills the mites so the tingle is a small price to pay for immediate relief and subsequent eradication. Will always have some on hand in case of a recurrence. For anyone tempted to buy the wipes I think its a better value to buy the foam. Once applied with the finger tips it turns liquid in seconds. Then after rubbing it in somewhat, you let it dry which gives you long lasting protection during the night.

I have rosacea and suffer from dry eye because of demodex mites. I’ve tried different tea tree wipes but they all eventually caused my eyelids to become very sore.and irritated. I decided to try this stay on solution. The first application did cause burning but I quickly realized it was because my eyelids were just so irritated and raw from the wipes and “ gentle” scrubbing. But I finally hit on a process which is really working for me. You need a few more things besides the Cliradex foam: I bought a pack of Amazon Essential white towels and purchased Ovante Face and Eye wash for demodex. Here’s why. It takes 5-6 weeks to eliminate or significantly reduce the mites. It’s a long time and you have to stick with it without throughly irritating your eyelids. I’m 2 weeks in and I already see a reduction in my eyes watering and MUCH less mite debris and irritation. So here’s my process - stop scrubbing your eyelids for at least 3 days and let them heal up. -use Ovante Face wash in the morning and night before bed - on the third day morning use the Ovante face wash. After you dry your face use Cliradex on the lids- just gently rub the solution in. I had no more burning. - At night before bed wash with Ovante again. Make sure to wash your whole face especially eyebrows because the mites live there too - I use a clean face towel each day so that I’m not transferring mites back to my face. - do this for 6 weeks. I’m already seeing a difference Good luck and I hope this works for you

Works as it should. Not as effective as the towelettes but not supposed to be. Able now to just use tee tree bar soap and no signs of demodex eye trash. This product will help get you there fast. Would recommend!

It did make my skin dry

Very soothing and refreshing for cleaning eyelids & eyelashes. Love the fragrance. Recommended by a friend who has been using and had been recommended by her opthamologist.

I'm really disappointed that I can't be refunded for this product. I followed all directions, and it burned my skin raw withing seconds, I washed it off quickly, yet the residual burn continues, and my skin is beet red all around my eyes. This is clearly a dangerous product for some people, and it is anything but 'gentle'. the potent fumes should have been my first warning not to apply, but trusting their words that it is a 'gentle' product, I proceeded to apply, and was chemically burned. Please use with caution, use next to the sink in case you need to wash it off quickly. I cannot imagine this being a safe product for anyone with the chemical burn potential, that I experienced first hand. $32 for a 1.5 ounce of product marketed as safe and of all things 'gentle'. I would not recommend this product, it is dangerous. It is expensive and not returnable.

Good product

Cliradex was responsible for getting rid of my face mites. When applied to my eyelids, it did sting briefly. I will order again!
