Can I apply ALHYDRAN around my eyes?
Yes, you can apply ALHYDRAN around the eyes, but always with care. You should avoid direct contact with the eyes themselves
All our products are suitable for use on sensitive and vulnerable skin, including the skin around the eyes. Its formulation is hypoallergenic and free from parabens and fragrances, making it well tolerated by most skin types, including the delicate area around the eyes.
However, you should avoid direct contact with the eyes themselves. If the cream accidentally gets into your eyes, it may cause a slight stinging sensation. In this case, rinse the eyes with clean water. Medical attention is typically not necessary unless irritation persists.
How to apply ALHYDRAN near the eyes:
- Use a very thin layer of cream—more is not better. ALHYDRAN works by being absorbed into the skin, and only the layer in direct contact with the skin is effective.
- Avoid excess cream near the eye, as unabsorbed cream may run and increase the risk of eye contact.
- Always apply on closed, healed skin only. Never apply ALHYDRAN on open wounds or unhealed sutures.
- Follow the general instruction for use provided with the product.
If in doubt, especially after eye surgery, consult your healthcare provider or skin specialist before applying any cream near the eyes.
