Why Ingredients Matter
Products that look similar can work differently because their ingredients serve different purposes. Hyaluronic acid, for example, is commonly used for lubrication and moisture retention, while hypochlorous acid is used in eyelid hygiene products.
Understanding the ingredient can help you compare products, but the best choice still depends on your eyes, your symptoms, and the reason you are using the product.

Most Common Questions
What does shopping by ingredient mean?
It means choosing a product by what is actually in it, rather than by brand. This page groups the main ingredients we carry so you can start from the ingredient instead of the label. Where an ingredient has its own guide, the card links to it.
Which ingredient is right for me?
It depends on what you are trying to do. Drops and lubricants are used on the eye surface, lid hygiene ingredients are used around the eyelids and lash line, and omegas and other nutritional ingredients are taken by mouth. The Best for line on each card says who it suits. If you are not sure where to begin, start with your symptoms or take the DryEyeQ.
Can I use more than one?
Yes. Different ingredients do different jobs, so people often combine one for the eye surface with one for the eyelids, and a nutritional product alongside. Follow each product's own label, and ask your eye care professional if you are unsure.
