The Science Behind Bruder Hygienic Eyelid Solution
What is Hypochlorous Acid?
Hypochlorous acid: a natural bacteria killer
Hypochlorous acid is a bactericidal component of the immune system. When your immune system encounters pathogens, it releases hypochlorous acid to kill the bacteria.
Daily use of the 100% pure hypochlorous acid solution is designed to assist in the removal of debris and micro-organisms that can contribute to eye irritation.
Hypochlorous acid eyelid cleansers
With over 30 million Americans suffering from dry eye disease, blepharitis, and meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD), it’s no wonder eye care professionals are turning their sights toward hypochlorous acid eyelid cleansers.
In eye care, hypochlorous acid works to support rapid and effective relief from dry eyes, styes, and red, itchy eyelids associated with conditions like blepharitis and meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) and is designed to assist in the removal of foreign material and debris on and around the eyelid margins.
Hypochlorous acid has a multitude of uses in wound care, dermatology, dentistry and eye care.
Eye care professionals recommend the solution quite frequently and find it to be particularly helpful in the treatment of blepharitis, allergies, MGD, rosacea and surgical preparation

When the immune system comes across pathogens, it releases hypochlorous acid to kill the bacteria.
