TheraPearl Color Changing Eye Mask, Eye-ssential Mask with Flexible Gel Beads for Hot Cold Therapy, Cold Eye Mask for Puffy and Swollen Eyes, Relaxation, Headaches, and Allergies

I love it!!!!! The last one I ordered three years ago was only a third full of beads. This one is filled just right. I have used these for years and they are perfect for blepharitis. They hold the heat for 10 - 15 minutes. I have cut pieces of old thin wash cloths the right size to fit over my eyes under the mask. That keeps the mask clean and not touching my eyes. And it allows me to add moisture from the cloth. You could buy terry cloth and cut it to size. I dampen the cloth and heat it in the microwave with the mask. Then wait until they are both the right temperature to put on my eyes. Be careful and heat the mast the number of seconds stated in the directions. Then if it's not warm enough, add a few seconds at a time. I have enough cloths to use a clean cloth every time I use the mask so the bacteria on my lids is not transferred by a used cloth. The used cloth goes into the wash. This works so well that this is my third mask in 6 years since I found the product. I have never had one pop. I bought the new one because the old ones were not filled enough and the beads were starting to disintegrate from use. I love them! The price of this is a real deal.

I have bought several of these eye masks over the years. So I know exactly what color it should be when received and what color it changes to when cold. The item is supposed to be blue in normal temperature it was clear. When cold it should turn to blue but this changed slightly to 2 different colors. Something is wrong. Defective item and interestingly can’t be returned. I wonder is it because they just want to send customers JUNK and charge them. DO NOT BUY FROM THEM!!!!! Very disappointing

Rating : 3.5 starsPros:Great coolantComfortableFSA approvedConsBreaks and leaks if kept in the freezer for longI got these to finish up my FSA balance at the end of the year. These work great while they last. Mine lasted for about 4months before they started leaking from the sides. Seems like when I'd kept them in the freezer they seems to have broken off at one of the points where it was bent and when I put them on it started leaking. Dont know if it might happen to all of them. But I'd recommend keeping it out for storage and putting them in the freezer a day before you plan to use them. I was kind of sad that they didn't last long. But I had another one so I didn't bother with the returns. I use mine after long hours on the computer. It stays cool for a long time. I typically use mine for about 15-20 mins and it's very relaxing.

I have had this eye mask about two months and absolutely love it. My eye doctor suggested using hot packs to loosen the meibomian glands. His idea was to put rice in a sock and microwave it. That didn't do much for me, so I was pleased to find this alternative. Within a few minutes of using the mask, I can feel the glands start to let loosen. It feels like my eyes are twitching. I keep the mask on until the twitching stops, and the difference is amazing. My eyes are well lubricated instead of dry and painful. I have been using the mask at least once a day and sometimes twice. I have seen no signs of any problem with the mask. The plastic casing appears to be well sealed, and the beads completely fill the mask. It is inexpensive so if it did go bad, it could be easily replaced. The only problem I have had is that the strap is a little too tight and puts too much pressure on my eyes, but t hasn't stopped me from using it. At Amazon's price today, I'm going to order two more.

I bought this face mask to help with under eye bags, and discoloration. I was getting sick of buying the throw away under-eye patches and wanted something more sustainable.Pros:-It fits around my head well, and the strap is comfortable-the little beads change colors based on how hot or cold it is. So when I freeze it they turn purple, and then as it warms up they turn blueCons:-I want to be able to take it out of the freezer and stick it on my face right away. It's way too cold to do this. I have to put some kind of buffer like a towel in between the mask and my eyes.-It warms up pretty quickly. I'd say in about 10 minutes it goes from freezing to just slightly cool. I want to be able to use it for a half hour or so, but it doesn't keep the cool that long.I'll admit I haven't yet used it on the warm setting.Overall I'll keep using the product. I just don't like it as much as the under eye patches for my needs.

I've recently suffered from an allergic reaction to something that presented with contact dermatitis on my eyes. The result was very swollen, itchy, red, inflamed eyes that hurt constantly. I thought they were going to drive me nuts and it was all I could do to keep my hands off of them.I tried putting lotion on every time I couldn't resist the urge to scratch and that helped some, but there were times that only ice packs helped, especially when I laid down at night to try and sleep. The problem is, I'm a side sleeper and ice packs don't stay on all by themselves unless you sleep on your back.I found the TheraPearl Eye-ssential Mask at Amazon and ordered it without hesitation. I liked that it could frozen or heated in the microwave. So far, I've only used it frozen, but it is nice to have the warm option in the same mask.This mask helped me immensely. While it didn't completely cure my eye issue (only an aggressive course of Prednisone did that), the mask did give me some relief and helped me get to sleep at night.In fact, I liked it so much I ordered a second one so that I have another ready after the first one defrosts.I imagine this will be a nice comfort the next time I have a headache as well.
