Optrex ActiMist 2in1 Eye Spray for Dry + Irritated Eyes
Why not take on the Optrex blink challenge and face-off with handsome Rodrigo and see if you can outstare his smoulder *growl*
Suggestion: Try Optrex ActiMist 2 in 1 Eye Spray for Dry & Irritated Eyes. Optrex ActiMist 2 in 1 Eye Spray helps to relieve, refresh and revive dry eyes by helping repair the eye’s natural protective moisture barrier to reduce moisture loss. It's a liposomal spray which means that it'll stabilise and help repair, improving lubrication of the eyes and eyelids which may have been disturbed by environmental factors. Optrex have found that dry eye triggers can be caused by central heating, air-conditioning, weather conditions and staring at screens for too long. Perfect for me to try out!
I find that when I'm wearing make-up or contacts the dryness can be increased so the fact that this can be sprayed while wearing either or both, makes it a beneficial product to have. Just close the eyes and I do one spritz per closed eyelid. It produces a light mist, it has a faint smell but it's not bothersome and doesn't last past the initial spritz. I was amazed at how quickly the mist absorbs once it touches the skin and nothing is out of place on my face. I noticed nothing ran or smudged so wearing makeup and having to use this really isn't a problem. I can pop this into my bag and go about the day, while knowing this can be used up to 4x a day. I've had to use this I'd say 3x max in a day during the earlier stages and then as and when I've needed. There's lubrication after I've blinked a couple times once sprayed leading to comfortable eyesight. Not bad at all - pretty impressed.
Tell me, how did you and Rodrigo get on? Would this be something you'd use to relieve dry eyes?
- also available from Superdrug and all other good pharmacy and grocery stores

I need some of this, I get such dry eyes. And I definitely think I spend more than 6 1/2 hours in front of a screen daily - oops!
ReplyDeleteYeah - I think I might be guilty of that, any screen really the combinations just creep up time wise. These are an amazing aide.
DeleteI've seen the ad for this before and I really need to go and get it. This would be especially good for someone like my Husband who is petrified of any sort of eye dropper coming close to his eyes but stares at a screen all day.
ReplyDeleteYes, a lot of people can't do droppers. Just something coming close to their eyes make them flinch. This would be an amazing alternative.
DeleteI love the idea of this - drops can sometimes be a bit messy and I worry about messing up my make up so the fact that you found it didn't affect that is great.
ReplyDeleteTotally. Who wants to spend so much time doing their makeup for our inconvenience to ruin our work.
DeleteOh i like the idea of a spray I really don't like drops in my eyes.I've been feeling my eyes starting to feel a little dry recently so will check this out.
ReplyDeleteSo many are like that and it's great there's an alternative. Drops can be messy.
Deleteive always wondered about this with makeup. glad youve cleared this up!
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome. I was surprised at how well it performs.
DeleteI need some of this! Didn't know they did a spray one
ReplyDeleteYes, they've got quite a few products but the spray is helpful.
DeleteThis spray is really clever. My eyes used to get irritated halfway through the work day when I was wearing contacts. They still get a little dry now that I only wear glasses.
ReplyDeleteI think with either they can get dried out which is unfortunate, puts a lot of discomfort on our eyes.
DeleteUsed to get conjunctivitis a lot during my teens and always went for optrex. One of the best!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad Optrex helped you with that. It's good how readily available the brand is.
DeleteI don't wear contacts but I really want to start wearing them, I think this may be a must when I do :D
ReplyDeleteYes for sure, I think even with glasses or unaided eyesight they can get dry and it could be of some help.
DeleteI have to wear contacts these days though I have to admit I'm sat here with glasses on and they really dry out my eyes, I might have to try this and see if it helps a little. x
ReplyDeleteYeah I find it works quickly and efficiently which is good. It's a handy spray to have x
DeleteI'm quite lucky that I don't suffer from irritated eyes but you're right about taking time out from the computer x
ReplyDeleteThank you, yes it's important to take a break, I end up with headaches if not x
DeleteI have literally just got my hands on one of these sprays, so am hoping it will work for me x
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to reading, about how you get on with it lovely x
DeleteReading this post just now was perfect timing. I need to buy some eyedrops today as I'm have a bad case of itchy eyes and now I know what to go and look for.
ReplyDeleteGlad to be of some help, I hope these help your ease, I truly do.
DeleteI have had such dry eyes all through pregnancy, so I wish I had of seen this sooner, as I am due in 8 days haha.
ReplyDeleteOh no lol! A little too late. Well if they persist, you know what to try - hope your delivery goes well Dannii :)
DeleteOptrex ActiMist is a must have item in my handbag as I suffer from dry eyes.
ReplyDeleteCertainly would be handy for you - for sure.
DeleteI work 9-5 in the office, I come home and spend another 6 hours doing blogging activities in between movies and what nots but I don't think my eyes are dry. I need to have them checked though
ReplyDeleteOh those are some long hours. Some people don't suffer even though they're around screens often but it's always good to get your eyesight checked.
DeleteI love this mist! I am wearing contact lenses and i need to give my eyes break once a time!
ReplyDeleteGlad someone else agrees so, it's an excellent product right!?
DeleteMy eyes get really irritated sometimes I've never used an eye spray or bath etc. Your eyes look beautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you! It's great for irritated eyes - it gives good relief, I was pretty surprised.
DeleteThanks for this - my hubby suffers from dry eyes and his constant rubbing is doing my head in! I'm going to buy this for him today x
ReplyDeleteHaha! Yeah the rubbing makes it worse cos it's dry and the friction - shuddering thinking about it. I hope this is some relief for him x
DeleteI'm on a computer all day so these would be lovely for my tired eyes ;-)
ReplyDeleteYes these are good to help that dried out feeling eyes can get so tired and irritated fast being on a computer for so long.
DeleteI love Optrex products and as a contact lens wearer have used their eye drops frequently. I like the idea of a mist that doesn't end up running down your face (like drops do) so will give this a go next time I need some relief x
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy the switch. Yes drops can be pretty messy and frustrating if you've just done your makeup to end up with a line right through the foundation lol x
DeleteI already know that I suffer with dry eyes, especially when I'm tired - this looks great.
ReplyDeleteThis would help you if you're interested in giving relief to those dry eyes.
DeleteI definitely need some of this, I get such dry eyes and I spend most of the day in front of a screen! x
ReplyDeleteIt gives such a nice relief - I'm pretty pleased with it x
DeleteThis is a great product and one I recently discovered.
ReplyDeleteAh I'm glad that you've enjoyed it like I have.
