Eyebright Lotion, 28 Dec. 2015

Although this contains the herb eyebright, a plant with a name that sounds like it would be beneficial for the eye area, there are no studies demonstrating it has any benefit for the eye area or skin. Any information about this plant’s effect on the skin of the eye is strictly anecdotal.

Love it, 10 April 2013

I did not purchase this here but wanted to say I have used this product for years and love it, my eyes are pretty sensitive with stinging and watering and this is the only product I know that cuts that right down, it is great for removing eye makeup and generally refreshing the eyes, lasts for a quite a while, 150 ml last me about 5 months I would say. Best applied with a cotton wool pad, and can be used as a compress if wanted.
