Is It Safe to Spray the We Love Eyes CALM Hypochlorous Acid Spray Directly on Closed Eyes?

Why We Love Eyes CALM Eyelid & Eyelash Cleansing Spray Is a Game-Changer

1. What Is Hypochlorous Acid?

• Hypochlorous acid (HOCl) is a naturally occurring substance produced by our bodies to fight bacteria and inflammation. • It’s gentle yet effective, making it ideal for daily eyelid hygiene. 👀 • We Love Eyes CALM Hypochlorous Acid Spray is formulated to be safe for the delicate eyelid area, helping you maintain clean, healthy lashes.

2. Common Uses & Benefits of HOCl Sprays

• Cleansing and soothing: Helps remove bacteria and debris that can cause irritation.

• Quick to use: Perfect for busy lifestyles; just spray over closed eyes and go! ⏰

• Ideal for contact lens wearers: Gentle enough for sensitive eyes and compatible with most eye-care routines.

The Efficiency Factor

3. Direct Spray vs. Cotton Pad

• Spraying directly on your closed lids can feel more efficient since you’re not losing product to the cotton pad’s absorbency.

• Aim carefully: Keep a safe distance (about 6–8 inches) from your eyes, ensuring the spray lands where you need it.

• If you prefer a cotton pad: It's still a great option to control application, minimize overspray, and gently wipe off any debris such as morning crusties.

4. Best Practices for Using We Love Eyes CALM

• Always read the instructions: Different products may have varying directions for use. But you can spray We Love Eyes CALM directly onto closed eyes because it's pH balanced for eye care at a concentration of 0.012%.

• Close your eyes gently: No need to squeeze eyelids tight. You want the spray to reach all parts of the eyelids and eyelashes. 

 • Allow it to dry or pat softly: Lightly pat your lids with a tissue if needed; you can also let the product air dry.

• Monitor for irritation: CALM Eyelid & Eyelash spray does not sting. If you experience redness or stinging, discontinue use and consult your eye care professional.

5. When to Consult an Optometrist

• Persisting symptoms: If dryness, redness, or itching continues, schedule a visit with your optometrist. You might actually need a prescription eye drop.

• Contact lens wearers: Always ensure you’re following safe lens-care guidelines alongside using eyelid sprays.

• Individual sensitivities: Some may be more sensitive to HOCl sprays. Trust your own comfort level.
