it first must state that it can be used for ophthalmic purposes...but you dilute it with distilled water and use it as an eyewash.

To use Boric acid as an eye wash to cure eye infections, conjunctivitis, Pink eye or styes... Boric acid readily dissolves in hot water. It is recommended to boil water 1 teaspoon per 4 ounces of water, allow to cool to luke warm and apply either with an eye cup wash or by soaking a cotton ball saturated with the boric acid solution washing the eye carefully and allowing the solution into the eye. Relief and healing is very quick, often within the day of application. This diluted solution also is effective at rinsing foreign objects from the eyes. Boric acid eye wash is effective at removing pollutants, including chlorine, smog and other chemicals. Can help with treating animal (dog, cat, horse, etc. eye infections also, using a cotton ball or clean cloth soaked in the solution, being sure the solution does run into the animals eye. If infection has continued a second day treatment may be repeated. If any further irritation or infection beyond that time, consult a physician. Boric acid solution is an old time remedy, my mother used on my eye infections and styes when I was small. It is very effective. ;-)

You use it as you would a regular bar of soap. It lathers really good. And for the face just make sure the water is Luke warm after washing bc it would make your face feel dry and be sure use a moisturizer afterwards

Yes, I have used it around my eye area followed by my regular eye cream. It is not oily or greasy and absorbs very quickly.

You can, but when buying this product, understand this is industry greasepaint. 1, set it with a powder, and 2, understand it will be difficult to wash off your face. I use it for eyeshadow base and if I fall asleep with it on, my eyes remain the same through the night. If you need it more easy to apply heat it with a blowdryer. For miming I would recommend kryolan only because it goes on the face smoother, this product is thick and is difficult for even coverage.

Just wet your face. Put a little in your palm, and apply to your face gently in a circular motion

I have, and it worked just fine. The application has to be light or it can look pasty. I use it for everything, even eye cream when my skin feels dry. I can't say enough about it. Really one of my favorite products on the market.

I keep the bottle in my shower, and use it each morning when I bathe. I did not read that on the label, and I would not have thrown it out after just opening it, anyway. It works great. It comes with an eye cup, but the eye cup has holes on the side, so I do not use it, since I do not like cold water to run down my face and onto my chest when I use the eye wash. I bought a separate eye cup without holes in it, and it works perfectly.

Personally, I tried it a few times with the eye cup attachment it comes with, and I HATED IT. It was messy ..pouring all down my face and neck.., didn't fit my eye socket well at all, and never accumulated any water over my eye where my eye could 'bathe' in the solution, like I wanted. So all in all, I hated it. But I have the cheap plastic eye cup that came with my 4 oz bottle of Bausch & Lomb eye wash, and that fits my eye PERFECTLY, so I've continued to use that, but buying this solution because it's cheaper and I go through a lot of it (due to lots of gunk in my eyes from Dry Eye Syndrome).

I do, just use a Q-Tip or small toothbrush to apply it so you don't get it into your eyes. I imagine that would hurt!

I wear it under my make-up as a moisturizer for the eye area. I then use foundation and concealer over it. It's lovely stuff.

I use it every morning. I let it dry, it can be a little sticky on your skin and then I use an eye cream over it. I use the eye concealer after that. I would definitely recommend to use an eye cream after this product. It doesn't take much for both eyes just a small pump and it's lasted me for 6 weeks.

I use these by applying replenish for contacts cleaning & disinfectant solution to cleans my eyes before putting my contacts in & they hold up well. I also use them to wash makeup off my face with warm water but end up using more then one I have not tried soaking in water & using the same one over & over. They are fairly strong & thicker then others I've tried that leave lint & break apart when using with water. I hope this helps.

I apply it by hand on a dry face. I rinse with a warm wet wash cloth. This is a cleanser and you will want to rinse.

I've never gotten it in my eyes, so I don't know. It's a mild shampoo. I guess it would depend on the ingredients.

It states on the product directions not to use it around your eyes, but I rub a small amount under my eyes and on my crow's feet. I'm just very careful to not get it too close to my eyes. I would not use it on my upper eye lid. Use a specific eye cream for that. I also mix a couple of drops of vitamin E into the product. I put it in the palm of my hand and apply it with my fingers on my other hand. I wash my hands immediately after doing my routine. It is a very good product that my dermatologist sells in his office, but the price is considerably higher than it is on Amazon.

I use it for dry eye that produces mucus, I clean the eyes every morning and night and put drops in, and it gets rid of the mucus........
