Blepharogel 1 and 2: what is the difference?

Among the pharmacological products that have not only therapeutic, but also cosmetic properties, it is worth highlighting the Russian product Blepharogel. The medication has received many positive reviews from cosmetologists. When used correctly, it can provide significant assistance in eliminating unsightly crow's feet in the corners of the eyes and expression lines in the upper area of the face.

Differences between 1 and 2

The first type of drug is intended to eliminate unpleasant symptoms that take the form of dry eyes, a feeling of the presence of “sand” in them, and a burning sensation. The second type of product contains an additional component in the form of sulfur. This product has bactericidal and antimicrobial properties. That is why Blefarogel 2 is prescribed for the development of infectious processes in the organs of vision.

Reviews

Reviews about the use of the drug are positive. Mainly noted is the pronounced anti-edematous, anti-inflammatory effect of Blefarogel, as well as an improvement in the general condition of the skin of the eyelids. Cosmetologists are still not so optimistic; they advise using the drug for its intended purpose - for medicinal purposes.

I've been applying it in the morning for a year now. No wrinkles. It seems to me that it should save not from crow’s feet, but from small wrinkles under the eyes, and strengthen skin turgor. Which is what he does.

Blepharogel for wrinkles: reviews

At first I was surprised that anyone would use such a product for wrinkles, but then I read the ingredients and realized that there must be some benefit. The price is affordable, which is very surprising given this composition. It's worth looking at how much hyaluronic acid injections cost! In general, I tried it - and I can note that there is a result: wrinkles have become less obvious, and the skin is well moisturized. Better than other eye creams I've tried. Yastrebova
I wear contact lenses and decided to apply this gel. But I didn’t read the instructions in detail right away. I smeared myself and put on my lenses. And she was terrified. So my eyes stung, I took off the lens and washed it. At first I thought there was a problem with her. I put it on - and again there is pain and burning. In general, I had to wear glasses to work with red eyes. But I didn’t use the drug anymore, because I wouldn’t give up contact lenses. I look like I have wrinkles. Elena
I used this gel for a very long time and expected a miracle. And I didn’t wait! And quite the opposite - there was a slight tightness, which really alarmed me. Why is interesting. I decided to figure it out and read more. After all, hyaluronic acid is a moisturizer, how can it make it feel tight? Moreover, she was announced as part of the first one, which means that she is the most likely to be there. But I found information that hyaluronic acid can be high-molecular and low-molecular. The second one really gives an effect, and an instant one. And the first one... I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s what the manufacturer mixed in... Especially for such and such an amount. About 200 rubles. Maria
I tried to apply Blepharogel 1 for wrinkles because I didn’t have any other problems. So, he slightly smoothes out the shallow facial expressions, but the more serious ones never went away. And they were the ones who worried me! Of course, I didn’t lose a lot of money, but it’s still a shame that it didn’t work out. Mom Dasha
I didn’t understand how this happened at all. I succumbed to the general hype. I applied Blefarogel number two and there was redness. But for some reason I thought that this was how it should be. But I got worse and worse, even a crust appeared. It turned out that I was allergic to sulfur. Horror. I don't recommend experimenting. Zhanna

Blepharolosion

This hygiene product is intended for eye care. Blepharolotion cleanses the edges of the eyelids from impurities, does not dry out the skin of the eyelids like washing with soap, and does not narrow the excretory ducts of the eye glands.

The drug belongs to the group of drugs used for infectious and allergic eye diseases (conjunctivitis, blepharitis, keratitis).

With blepharitis, the glands become clogged and secretions accumulate. The lotion easily copes with this problem and has an anti-edematous and antibacterial effect.

In addition, it increases skin elasticity, improves blood supply to the skin and metabolism, normalizes the secretion of the excretory ducts of the glands, relieves inflammation, dryness and eye fatigue.

Blepharolosion is used by applying warm compresses to the eyelids, which accelerate the absorption of all active components of the product.

Glass wand massage

Massaging the eyelids for blepharitis with a glass rod is an effective method of treating the disease.

Massage sticks are sold in almost every pharmacy. On one side there is a ball with which the ointment is placed behind the eyelid. The other end of the stick is made in the form of a spatula. This form is intended for massage. Before starting the procedure, you need to disinfect your hands and wand, rinse your eyes with warm water and wipe with a dry towel. Before starting the procedure, an anesthetic is instilled into the lower eyelid. The product will make the process less painful.

Massage the eyelids with inflammation with a glass rod as follows:

Take the edge of the eyelid from the inner corner of the eye, pull it back and insert the stick. It should be inside the eye under the eyelid;
Hold the edge of the eyelid with your finger, turning it towards the skin;
With light pressure, start moving the stick. Movements are made from the inner corner of the eye to the outer. When pressed, fluid may come out or pus may be released (in advanced forms of blepharitis). You shouldn’t be afraid of discharge; it’s normal during the massage.
Massage both eyelids - upper and lower;
Massage of inflamed eyelids should last about 8 minutes;
Then the eyelids are wiped with a cotton swab treated with essential alcohol;
At the end of the massage, drops are instilled into the eyes, and an ointment prescribed by the doctor may be applied.

Massaging the eyelids with a glass rod for blepharitis helps reduce redness and swelling.

Let us add that massaging the eyelids with a glass rod for blepharitis is a fairly simple process. You can do it at home without any skills. However, before a massage you need to consult a doctor. It is better if a specialist shows you how to properly massage the eyelid.

Contraindications

Blepharogel is an almost universal remedy. In the instructions for its use, the only contraindication is individual intolerance to the components contained in the drug. Therefore, everyone else can use the gel to get rid of expression lines without any problems.
