Despite the fact that there are no direct indications for the use of Blepharogel for wrinkles, it is widely used to correct age-related changes. For this purpose, preference is given to Blepharogel 1 .

Skin rejuvenation is achieved due to the content of hyaluronic acid in the composition, it is this that allows you to retain water molecules, which, when lost from the skin, trigger the aging process.

But, it should be borne in mind that its content in the drug is small, so the therapeutic effect appears only at the initial stages of the appearance of wrinkles. In addition, the drug must be used for a long time.

Due to its good tolerability and low cost, it can be used for prophylactic purposes as a cosmetic product that moisturizes and smoothes the skin.

If you need correction of deep wrinkles, preference should be given to cosmetics with a high content of hyaluronic acid, and even better, if a person goes to a cosmetologist.

What is Blefarogel used for?

The product in question is a medicinal and cosmetic preparation. Blefarogel provides high-quality care for the skin of the eyelids, relieves itching, redness, irritation, and relieves the feeling of heaviness. During certain diseases, the medication cleanses the skin around the eyes from pathological crusts, moisturizes it and eliminates fatigue.

Main indications for using the gel:

1. Inflammatory diseases of the eyelids.
2. Dry eye syndrome.
3. Barley (meibomite).
4. Demodecosis.
5. Blepharitis.
6. Allergic conjunctivitis.

Ophthalmologists also recommend using the product for increased visual fatigue. The medication brings considerable benefit to people whose profession involves daily eye strain.

Differences between 1 and 2

The medicine is available in two versions - Blefarogel 1 and Blefarogel 2. There is an important difference between these forms of the product (in composition and indications for use).

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.

Advantages and disadvantages

People who have used Blepharogel for wrinkles around the eyes for cosmetic purposes mostly leave positive reviews. This is due to the advantages, among which are:

1. A convenient release form that allows you to apply a small amount of gel to the eyelid area. This ensures economical consumption.
2. Low cost. Unlike most products with a claimed cosmetological effect, Blefarogel has a low price, ensuring wide availability.
3. Moisturizing and rejuvenating effect against the initial signs of aging.

The disadvantages include:

• the need for regular use over a long period of time;
• unexpressed effect when applied to deep wrinkles, which is explained by the low content of hyaluronic acid.

Advantages

During its application, the gel received well-deserved praise from both practicing ophthalmologists and patients using it, due to the following advantages:

• sulfur content, which is not found in most analog versions of the medicine, which significantly increases the range of therapeutic effects of the gel on the skin of the eyelids;
• low price - this makes the product financially accessible to any population group;
• a wide range of actions - in addition to the therapeutic effect, it has an additional effect on the skin, improves its quality and structural content;
• effectively fights age-related changes - eliminates puffiness and bags under the eyes, facial wrinkles;
• Absolutely natural ingredients in the composition do not require addiction and practically do not cause side effects.

Contraindications

Before treatment, it is imperative to exclude contraindications. This will allow you to avoid serious complications that worsen your health and aggravate the underlying disease.

The only contraindication to the use of Blefarogel is the increased sensitivity of the body to the components included in the composition.

To make sure there is no allergic reaction, just apply a small amount of gel to the back of the forearm and rub. Assess the condition of the skin and your well-being after a few minutes. In the absence of redness, itching, burning and swelling, its further use is possible.

If Blefarogel gets on the surface of the eye mucosa, itching and redness may develop.

Special treatment for such symptoms is not required, as they disappear on their own after a few minutes.

Despite the fact that the drug must be used with strict adherence to the instructions, no pathological reactions develop in case of an overdose.

Side effects and existing contraindications

In case of hypersensitivity to the components of the drug, undesirable reactions may develop, manifested by:

• redness of the skin of the eyelids;
• allergies.

If the product gets into the eyes, a short-term burning sensation may occur that goes away on its own within one to two minutes and does not require any treatment.

The main contraindication to the use of Blefarogel is individual intolerance to its composition. It is also undesirable to apply this product to the skin with pathologies such as eczema, dermatitis, and excessive lacrimation. During pregnancy and lactation, the product can be used only after the approval of a specialist.

Analogs (2 options)

Blepharogel for wrinkles around the eyes has an affordable price and positive reviews. But there are also analogues.

There are no absolute analogues with identical composition and similar mechanism of action on the pharmaceutical market.

The most popular remedies that can be used if you are intolerant to Blepharogel include:

1. Demazol. The drug, like Blepharogel, can be used to treat demodicosis or rashes on the skin of the eyelids, which are caused by mites. Despite a similar anti-inflammatory effect, Demazol does not preserve youthful skin, so it does not eliminate wrinkles.
2. Libriderm. The cosmetic product contains low molecular weight hyaluronic acid, which is able to penetrate into the deep layers of the skin. Additional plant components additionally relieve inflammation and increase skin turgor. To achieve a therapeutic effect, it must be applied daily.

Precautionary measures

When using the drug, the following precautions must be observed:

• rub the product in gently so as not to injure or stretch the too thin and delicate skin around the eyes;
• prevent contact of the medication with optical lenses, and in order to prevent possible irritation, strictly maintain the time until they can be put on again;
• Use carefully if you are prone to allergic reactions;
• If, after repeated use of the composition, a burning sensation, itching or redness of the skin surface appears again, further use of the drug should be discontinued and try to replace it with an analogue.

Reviews

Both people and cosmetologists leave reviews about Blefarogel for wrinkles around the eyes. Referring to application experience, some of them express their opinions, for example:

ELENA, 38 YEARS OLD:

“In my practice, I often use Blepharogel to correct the first signs of skin aging.
Considering that the skin in the eye area is not only sensitive, but also thin, it is necessary to select a product with active ingredients that will not have an irritating effect. I gave preference to Blefarogel. The product is well tolerated and does not lead to allergic reactions or other side effects.”

SVETLANA, 39 YEARS OLD:

“I recommend using Blepharogel for wrinkles around the eyes at the first signs of aging.
As a result of application, I noticed a pronounced smoothing effect. The drug has an affordable price, and this is good news. Although the price is low, the product is effective. I like the result.

I suggested that my mom try it. She didn't notice a difference, even after using it for a long time. It probably all depends on age.”

Use of Blepharogel in cosmetology

Not only the result of external use of the drug, but also the safety of the procedures depends on the correct use of Blepharogel for cosmetic purposes.

Preparatory stage

To prepare your facial skin for applying Blepharogel, follow these steps in sequence:

1. Clean your face of decorative cosmetics. To do this, use your usual tool. The fact is that when using Blefarogel over cosmetic products, there is a risk of irritation.

   

   Before using Blafarogel, you should remove makeup

2. Steam your skin. To do this, it will be enough to sit in the bath for a while or breathe in the steam (as with inhalation). In the latter case, it is recommended to add 2-3 drops of chamomile ether to the liquid used. Thanks to this point, Blefarogel will have the opportunity to penetrate the cells as deeply as possible and act more actively on them.

   

   Chamomile essential oil, when used in a steam bath (inhalation), soothes the skin and relieves irritation.

Instructions for use

Blefarogel (both 1 and 2) for moisturizing and against wrinkles should be used in the same way. Instructions for using the facial skin product are as follows:

1. Distribute the gel over your fingertips.
2. Perform circular movements on the skin of the face or area around the eyes. It is recommended to massage the skin for 1–2 minutes. Apply the product in this way once a day, preferably early in the morning or 3-4 hours before bedtime.

   

   When using Blepharogel, it is recommended to massage the skin along certain lines.

For the skin of the eyelids the product is used a little differently:

1. Apply a little product to cotton swabs. This is necessary to ensure that the procedure is as safe as possible and that Blefarogel does not get on the mucous membranes of the eyes.

   

   When using Blepharogel for eyelids, it is recommended to apply the product using a cotton swab

2. Apply the device to the skin of the eyelids.

In both cases, there is no need to rinse off the drug. Also, you should not apply any other cosmetic products after the procedure for at least an hour for the product to work properly.

Duration and frequency of use

You can use the product continuously for 1.5–2 months. If you like the result and there are no unpleasant consequences, use the drug for 8–9 weeks. After this, you need to interrupt for at least the same period, and preferably for a longer time (up to 6 months). The fact is that the skin gets used to the active effects, which is why it stops responding to the drug properly. In addition, do not forget that the product still contains ingredients harmful to cell health, which is why long-term use of Blepharogel can lead to the opposite of the expected effect.
