My doctor suggested this brand. I ordered them but also ordered a less expensive brand off Amazon because they would arrive quicker. I used the off brand ones for a few days and they cleared up my problem. When these arrived I started using them but they were so strong and made my eyes burn intensely. The ingredients are exactly the same in both products so I’m not sure why these burn so badly. The ones off Amazon are half the price too.

Hello Kari, Thanks for taking the time to give us your feedback. There are no less expensive options on Amazon. We have the same price on the website and Amazon. It could be another seller with a counterfeit - hence the low sensation. We’re sorry to hear you had a bad experience with Cliradex. Cliradex is a safe product. We understand your concern and assure you that a cooling tingling sensation is normal. If it felt more like a sting/burn, please be assured that it disappeared after a few applications. If this is not the case, you might be experiencing something else. • If you're feeling a burning sensation, your skin may be compromised or wounded. It may sting, similar to putting alcohol on a wound. The same is possible if you use Cliradex on already irritated or open skin. You might have to stop. • If you develop symptoms such as itching, swelling, or excessive dryness, this may indicate an allergic reaction/hypersensitivity to T40 (especially if they have a known sensitivity to fragrances). Here are a few tips for using Cliradex if you have sensitive skin: 1) Always test a patch of skin on your arm to see how you will react to the T40, mainly if you've never used tea tree oil. 2) Avoid using Cliradex after bathing (hot shower) as pores may be exfoliated and exposed. 3) Wipe your eyelids and eye area gently while keeping your eyes closed. 4) Avoid getting Cliradex in your eyes. 5) Keep your eyes closed for about 15-30 seconds as the area dries. We recommend that during the application you: 1) Close your eyes firmly. 2) Gently wipe the foam or towelette across the lid and surrounding eye area without pressing it too hard on the eye or into the corners of the eye. 3) Allow the product to air-dry briefly (15-30 seconds) before opening your eyes. While our products are natural, safe, and effective, we realize some people are allergic to essential oils. If you continue to experience a reaction, please discontinue using Cliradex. If you aren't happy as a result of using our product, contact us at www.cliradex.com. The Cliradex Team

The eye pads burned like fire when I used them. I had to quickly splash cold water on my eyelids.

Hello, Unfortunately, your product did not help me. In fact, it burned. I contacted customer service via email well within the 30 days for a refund. I also called about a refund. The agent on the phone assured me of my refund and said I might be contacted to return product. I have NOT been contacted or refunded. Wish customer service actually provided service.

It burns my eyes

Hello Sharon, A cooling tingling sensation is normal. If it felt more like a sting/burn, please be assured that it goes away after few applications. If still there, there are 2 explanations for it: • If you're feeling a burning sensation, your skin may be compromised or wounded. It may sting similar to putting alcohol on a wound. The same is possible if you use Cliradex on already irritated or open skin. Do not use Cliradex. • If you develop symptoms such as itching, swelling, or excessive dryness, this may indicate an allergic reaction/hypersensitivity to T40 (especially if they have a known sensitivity to fragrances). In any case, you should rinse-off and discontinue the use of the product and consult your physician if any of these symptoms develop. While our products are natural, safe, and effective, we realize that some people are allergic to essential oils. If you continue to experience a reaction, please discontinue the use of Cliradex.

I'm sure this product works fine for most but it made my eyelids swell and I got a terrible rash. I was hoping this would be the one to help my blepharitis but I'm apparently allergic to it. Tried a skin test on my arm which was fine, but my eyelids couldn't tolerate it.

I do not have any skin conditions or compromised skin around my eyes and these towelettes stung and burnt so bad. It was horrible. I couldn't get to the sink fast enough to wash it off. This product is clearly too strong to be used around the eye area.
