OPTASE: Eyelid Cleansing Gel with Tea Tree Oil (50ml)

£10.00

OPTASE Eyelid Cleansing Gel is a preservative-free, rinse-off gel that combines tea tree oil, hyaluronic acid, and pro-vitamin B5 to cleanse, moisturise, and soothe the eyelids and lashes in one step.

Keeping the lid margin clean is a well-established part of managing blepharitis and meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD), since it helps remove debris, excess oil, and buildup that can contribute to irritation. This gel is designed to be used as part of a daily eyelid hygiene routine, often alongside the OPTASE Moist Heat Mask and lid wipes as part of a complete "heat, cleanse, hydrate" regime.

This is a hygiene and management product, not a cure. It's not a substitute for a full eye examination, and if you have persistent, worsening, or severe eyelid symptoms, please see an optometrist or ophthalmologist.

The optase eyelid cleansing gel is a 3‑in‑1 formula that cleanses, moisturises and soothes in one easy step. Unlike harsh scrubs, this optase eye lid cleansing gel is preservative‑free, alcohol‑free and phosphate‑free, making it ideal for daily use, even on sensitive eyes and for children aged 3+. It is enriched with tea tree oil (TTO) to help purify the lid margin, hyaluronic acid for deep hydration, and pro‑vitamin B5 to soothe and condition the skin. This optase tea tree oil eyelid cleansing gel is suitable for contact lens wearers (remove lenses before use) and for use during pregnancy and lactation.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know before you order.

How do I use this gel?

Wash your hands thoroughly first. Apply a small amount to clean fingertips, close your eyes, and gently massage the gel onto your eyelids and lashes. Rinse with warm water and pat dry with a clean towel.

Do I need to rinse this off, unlike the wipes?

Yes. Unlike the OPTASE lid wipes, which don't require rinsing, this gel needs to be rinsed off with warm water after use.

Does this help with Demodex specifically?

We'd rather not make that claim for this particular product. Tea tree oil's active compound does have real trial support for Demodex blepharitis, but the trials we're aware of used a specific wipe formulation at a defined concentration, not this gel. We can't confirm this gel has been tested the same way, so we've kept this listing focused on general eyelid hygiene and blepharitis management, which is well supported.

Is this suitable to use during pregnancy or breastfeeding?

We don't have confirmed information on this from the manufacturer, so we'd recommend checking with your doctor, midwife, or the manufacturer directly before use if you're pregnant or breastfeeding, rather than relying on an unconfirmed claim.

Can children use this product?

We don't have manufacturer-confirmed guidance on a specific age suitability for this product. If you're considering it for a child's eyelid hygiene, please check with a paediatric ophthalmologist or optometrist first.

Can I use this if I wear contact lenses?

Please remove contact lenses before use, and wait until your eyes are fully clear of the product before reinserting them.

How long does one bottle last?

This depends on usage frequency. Please confirm the manufacturer's guidance on this before we publish a specific duration estimate, since we want to avoid stating a figure we can't verify.
