Soothing eyelid wipes for dry, swollen or itchy eyes
Blephademodex wipes are easy to use and effective for blepharitis (a condition that causes red, dry and itchy eyes, or makes your eyelids swell up). The wipes have a soothing and refreshing effect.
Tell our team of clinicians about your health and they’ll recommend the best treatment options for you. Pick one, and we’ll deliver it the next working day. Easy.
Blephademodex is a sterile wipe, impregnated with a lotion containing terpinen-4-ol. It’s free from detergents and preservatives. The wipes can be used every day for conditions like blepharitis, dry eyes and meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD).
Blepharitis is an inflammation of your eyelids, which causes swollen, itchy eyelids. Symptoms often come and go and include sore eyelids, gritty eyes, flakes or crusts (dandruff-like scales) around the roots of the eyelashes, and eyelids that stick together in the morning when you wake up.
It can be caused by either an infection, or allergens and allergic reactions. One underlying cause is infection with a skin parasite called Demodex. While Demodex mites are the most common parasites found on your skin, they can cause itchy, irritated, red or sore eyelids when there’s too many of them. Eyelash dandruff is especially associated with a Demodex infection. But blepharitis isn’t usually serious or contagious.
Blephademodex wipes have two active ingredients: terpinen-4-ol and sodium hyaluronate.
Terpinen-4-ol is a natural ingredient extracted from the Australian native plant Melaleuca alternifolia (tea tree oil). It’s used for its anti-inflammatory and anti-demodectic (ability to kill Demodex mites) properties. The anti-inflammatory activity was shown to be linked to the ability of terpinen-4-ol to suppress the production of molecules in your body that promote inflammation like TNFalpha, IL-1beta, IL-8, IL-10 and PGE2.
Sodium hyaluronate is a natural skin-soothing and moisturising agent. It's hydrophilic, which means it loves water and it can mix with it easily. When you apply it on your skin, it attracts moisture to your skin cells and keeps your skin hydrated, making it less dry and flaky.
There is only one dose available for Blephademodex wipes. Each pack has 30 sterile wipes, and each Blephademodex wipe is impregnated with a lotion containing 2.5% terpinen-4-ol and sodium hyaluronate.

When we present you with stats, data, opinion or a consensus, we’ll tell you where this came from. And we’ll only present data as clinically reliable if it’s come from a reputable source, such as a state or government-funded health body, a peer-reviewed medical journal, or a recognised analytics or data body.

Always follow your clinician’s instructions when using Blephademodex wipes. Remember not to leave it where children can find it, as it’s only meant to be used by adults.
Here are a few guidelines to follow when using Blephademodex wipes:
Blephademodex is free from detergents, so you don’t need to rinse it off after using the wipes.
Our clinicians will give you detailed advice on how to use Blephademodex wipes based on your specific symptoms. But typically you’ll be instructed to use the wipes for four weeks, either once a day (preferably in the evening) if you have milder symptoms, or twice a day (in the morning and evening) if your symptoms are more severe.
If Blephademodex gets into your eyes and you experience a burning sensation, rinse with water or saline solution. Other than that, using Blephademodex wipes shouldn’t cause you any problems, it’s a generally well tolerated treatment. However, if you experience any discomfort or notice unexpected symptoms, stop using them and ask our clinical team for advice.
