As an eye doctor, I often see my patients make one big mistake before going to bed: not removing their mascara. 

Leaving eye makeup on overnight might seem harmless, but it can cause flakes of mascara to fall onto your lids, giving bacteria a perfect place to grow. This buildup can lead to styes, lid inflammation, irritation, and even early signs of aging, like wrinkles!  And, of coarse, this also makes your eyes feel dry and uncomfortable. 

A Better Way to Remove Eye Makeup 

Instead of using harsh removers or scrubbing at your lashes, choose a product that’s gentle, effective, and designed for sensitive eyes, like Optase Sensitive Eye Makeup Remover.
