Hypochlorous acid lid cleansers are ubiquitous! Every major brand has one now. Not the most flattering way to introduce a new product, but bear with me because there are some advantages to this one.
So hypochlorous acid is a simple antiseptic that has gained great traction in eye care ever since Avenova was launched. Optase Protect (May 2021) is one of the very most recently launched. It is 0.015%, right in the middle between Avenova at 0.01% and Ocusoft Hypochlor at 0.02% Ocusoft.
At 100mL, this is the largest packaging of of hypochlorous acid lid cleanser on the market yet, and the most economical.
Optase Protect is a unique eyelid cleansing spray. The spray cleanses the eyelids and eyelashes and helps to improve the appearance of the eyes and eyelids.
Eyecare: Spray one pump onto each eyelid twice per day, morning and evening. Once sprayed onto the eyelids, allow to dry naturally and do not wipe off.
Ingredients: Water, salt and hypochlorous acid.
Warning: Stop application if eyes or skin around eyes show signs of redness, irritation or sensitivity and conult your eyecare professional.
Storage: Keep out of direct sunlight.
Disposal: Dispose of contents/container in accordance with local regulations.
Optase Protect is a leave on formula for convenience and also a pH balanced formula for comfort on sensitive skin.
Bottle: HDPE, UV protected.

I threw this in to an order when my Ocusoft hypochlorous acid spray was running low. The Ocusoft worked fine but I found I really did need to use a wiping cloth with it because the spray was so, well, hard to direct where I want it. Lots of it ended up in my hair and on my face. The Optase sprays much more easily and is easier to direct for me (maybe I just got a lucky bottle or pump?). It kind of sprays in a line and hits both my eyes (and okay, the bridge of my nose). So - with the easier (for me) spray and the more generous amount in the bottle, this is my favorite hypochlorous acid spray.

Quite effective at cleaning eyelids. Also doesn't irritate them like swabbing with cleansers did.
The only drawback is that it's hard to get the pump to start spraying--it must be primed by pressing it several times before liquid starts coming out. But that's a minor problem.

Really like this as you can let it dry on lids and lashes.
