Review on Johnson's Travel Size Baby Shampoo - 1.5 oz, Pack of 3 by Weston Metzger

>> SUITABLE FOR TREATMENT OF DRY EYES

> I have dry eyes. I've used Ocusoft Lid Scrub Foaming Eyelid Cleanser (7.25 fl oz) successfully, but the bottle is too big to travel. So I bought "Johnson's Baby Shampoo, Travel Size" for the trip. I found baby shampoo worked better for me than an expensive "eye scrub" - especially the travel size. put my finger on it (seal it), invert the bottle for a few seconds - just to "wet" the fingertip with a thin layer of shampoo; then I pick up the bottle and set it aside; and then wipe the eyelids with a small amount of baby shampoo on your fingertip for 10-15 seconds and rinse. You need quite a bit of baby shampoo. After using the bottle (travel size) daily for a month, it still looks like a closed bottle.>NOTE. fingertip. So you have to turn around and hold this position for 2 or 3 seconds.> A lot of people complain that baby shampoo is too harsh to wash the eyelids (to relieve dry eyes)---but they're probably using too much shampoo. I've seen many recommendations on how to dilute baby shampoo for this purpose. But you don't really have to dilute it - just use quite a bit instead. A travel-size bottle makes this easy (because it delivers just the right amount to your fingertip when used as I described above). eyelids, but pay more attention to the edges of your (closed) upper and lower eyelids. I'm a little confused as to why this works (at least for a weirdo like me who DOES NOT wear eye makeup, has NEVER used eye makeup) since the tear ducts are located on the inner edges of your eyelid. I bet the "active ingredient" is really just massaging your eyelids, and the soap acts more like a lubricant, making massaging easier and potentially causing you to spend extra time rinsing out the shampoo. Whatever the mechanism, it works.> Note that some of the glands that produce components of natural tears are located high up on the eyelids and around the eyes. I suspect that applying pressure to these glands also helps unclog the ducts and/or stimulate the glands, so I massage all of my eyelids and the surrounding area. Treatment only 1 time in 3 months. The "machine" is essentially a tiny vibrating heating pad that's placed over the eyelids for 15 minutes, though the treatments cost a paltry $1,200 each. With that in mind, and since I have a power spray, I set the shower to a fine pulse setting and heat up as much as I can. After massaging the eyelids with baby shampoo, I let the hot pulsating water wash off the baby shampoo and massage my eyelids for as long as I can be patient (probably just a minute - longer is better). This seems like the most effective strategy to me.> Out of curiosity, I just checked, and Revain sells heated, vibrating face masks for $40-$200, but few of them have compelling customer reviews, and I haven't found any reputable reviews or discussions . . . these products. Most of them focus on blowing air into the acupuncture points around the eyes, which is useless in my opinion. I'll check again in a few months. But the "need" has clearly been identified, and there may soon be affordable face masks for treating dry eyes that work.
