Great!!

This is a fun review for me to write because I dove off the deep end learning about hypochlorous acid (HOCl) a while back and use it around the house all the time.Let's start with what HOCl is:HOCl is the active (non-toxic) ingredient of chlorine (toxic) when chlorine is dissolved in water. When chlorine gas (Cl2) is added to water, it reacts to form hypochlorous acid (HOCl) and hydrochloric acid (HCl). HOCl is the primary disinfectant responsible for the antimicrobial properties of chlorine solutions. HOCl and OCl- exist in equilibrium, with the relative concentrations depending on the pH of the solution. At lower pH (more acidic), a higher proportion of HOCl is present. While HOCl is the active disinfecting agent, it's not stable in its pure form and therefore has a limited shelf life.A brief history, and its other uses:* HOCl was used as a disinfectant during World War I. Before the widespread availability of antibiotics, HOCl was used to irrigate and disinfect wounds, significantly reducing infection rates and saving countless lives.* The human body naturally produces HOCl as part of its immune response. White blood cells, specifically neutrophils, generate HOCl to fight off invading pathogens like bacteria and viruses.* One of the main sanitizing (and again non-toxic) sprays during the pandemic was HOCl.* Salt water pools are essentially HOCl generators and use salt to make HOCl directly instead of adding chlorine.You can make your own HOCl at home for very cheap once you have an electrolyzer ($5 to $150 depending on the quality you are looking for). Using 2g of non-iodized table salt, 1L of water, a splash of vinegar for extra acidity, and 8-30+ minutes of electrolysis depending on the concentration you are looking for you can make as much HOCl as you want. Note that it is not stabilized and might contain some leftover chlorine, but it does the job well. I use it every day to clean and sanitize around the house. It is food safe, and again, non-toxic! It only lasts about two weeks before it turns back into salt water.Finally, about this product. You can use chlorine test strips to test the strength of HOCl. Unfortunately, as seen in the picture above, the test strip didn't react at all. From what I understand, that means this solution has 10 or less PPM of HOCl. While higher concentrations do dry out the skin, I would expect it to at least register on a test strip. In the end, this spray does clean the eyelids, but I'm not sure of the ingredients. Also, they have to use a stabilized form of HOCl because it doesn't have a long shelf life. Even still, this bottle says to use within 3 months. Should you try it out? Sure! Would it be more economical to make your own and essentially have free household sanitizer for life? Definitely!Look up the EcoOne brand of HOCl generators!

Excellent price..great value.Does not sting at all, for me and I've tried several. Feels soothing. It is safe to use in the eye area. I recommend over higher priced, similar items.

Hard to push down the plunger. Hard to work with. Ed

Good stuff.

I wanted to love this because of the price, but it lacks potency. See picture.LEFT side of test strip is this product. RIGHT side is Avenova. Not even close.

QIQ Eyelid & Eyelash Cleanser - High Purity Hypochlorous Acid Spray was a relief after my husband's eye surgery in his healing process. He used it day #1 with the photo on the left, while his sutures and stitches were fresh and on the right, when the photo was taken 30 days later. The fact that the formula was natural, non-toxic and used a high purity hypochlorous acid was key in using it. We asked his doctor about usage and said it would be perfectly fine, as many physicians were "in the know" of this trending ingredient.
