This is the basic version of the Eye Eco style kit - all about moist heat compresses. It's quite a handy way to do a warm compress on one eye.
It's basically half of a Tranquileyes (left or right eyecup only), with s simple elastic strap to hold it on, plus instant ThermoEyes, the little blue heat packs that work like hand warmers. There is a moisture pad included that you soak in water (preferably warm). You activate the heat pack, pop it in the pocket and put both in the eyecup then strap it on to hold it against the eye.
Instant heat packs
The 'instant type of heat pack included in this kit has to be boiled to 'reset' it, so there's a little more maintenance compared with Thermoeyes Beads. Not a big deal, just that after you have used both of those included, you need to boil them for about 5 minutes. If you try it out and find it's too much hassle, you can purchase the ThermoEyes Bead type separately. Remember to select the right size for your eye cup (standard or XL).
Standard vs XL size
There are two sizes - this one is the larger. Personally, I'd go for the XL size over the regular size because of the increased coverage, but if you have a tiny face, or if you have very sensitive skin or rosacea and want to minimize the amount of skin any heat comes in contact with, the standard size is probably more appropriate.
Stye Kit XL or Sty Kit Heat & Clean XL?
The Heat & Clean XL kit is the same as this but include Eye Eco's nice tea tree oil foaming cleanser. It's a good value.
