Peep Club Instant Relief Eye Spray, £15
You haven’t imagined that feeling of strain in your eyes after a long day of screen time, these symptoms have a name – Dry Eye Syndrome – a condition that is affecting up to 80% of consumers. A concerning thought, especially when screen use has increased by 187% over these past three lockdowns.
Peep Club Instant Relief Dry Eye Spray has been formulated with Wild Harvested Colourless Sea Buckthorn Oil and Sodium Hyaluronate, both of which have been clinically proven to relieve symptoms of Dry Eye Syndrome. These dual-active ingredients work in tandem to hydrate eyes on both the inside and the outside. Sea Buckthorn Oil slowly spreads across the tear film to help lock in the moisture of tears, which helps to naturally protest eyes from drying. Sodium Hyaluronate works by both strengthening tears and protecting them at a cellular level, fortifying tear fluid for better hydration throughout the day and also working on the surrounding eyelid and under eye area, to help hydrate, plump and protect the barrier of the delicate eye skin.
