Peep Club Eye Wand

[unpaid/sample] I’m useless with gadgets but if there was ever one built for me, this is it. Peep Club’s Eye Wand is more about eye care than anything although you might find some further benefits in skin smoothing. Predominantly, however, it’s for tired and dry eyes from screen use. I’m at my screen for hours a day and it really does upset my eyes – it was only a few weeks ago that I took a day off because I felt my eyes just needed a rest.

The wand uses a blend of red light technology (hence the possible side-benefits of collagen and elastin improvement) and gentle but fast vibration that stimulates the Meibomian gland and the lymphatic drainage system (so you could see less puffiness). Meibomian glands are miniscule oil glands which sit along the edge of the eyelids and secrete oil that form part of our tears.  The oils stop tears from drying too fast and leading to discomfort and need to be able to flow easily into tears. If they’re not working to their best capacity, that’s when your eyes can become dry feeling and uncomfortable.

You can turn the red light off so that you are just using the vibration and heat. It feels strange to massage the part of the eye – the closed lids – that normally you wouldn’t and my lids didn’t like it first until I turned the red light off for that part of the massage and then it became something very soothing and relaxing. In fact, it’s the sort of thing that if someone else was doing for you, you will have nodded off after moments. I put the red light back on for massage under and further up the lid. The whole thing is done in minutes and I really do feel the benefits of it in terms of being ‘brighter eyed’ by the time I’ve finished.

The Soothing Coconut Eye Balm (£20) is a light mix of coconut oil and chamomile and the ideal texture to use with the Eye Wand – it will last you for nearly ever because you need so little of it to lubricate what is a very small area. I love the Instant Relief Eye Spray with Sea Buckthorn oil and Sodium Hyaluronate (£15) – it is as it sounds – instantly relieving. Personally, I don’t feel the need for the Cleansing Lash Foam but it has anti-bacterial elements that may well be useful for some, particularly if you suffer from blepharitis or inflammation. I’m now in the habit of using almost every evening although you can use morning or both if you prefer. If you’re not a big screen user, and don’t have any issues with your eyes, obviously you won’t need this but if you are in front of a screen and/or have dry eyes the benefits are many. In fact, I did a little tot up of my screen use and it’s shocking really – if it’s not my laptop, it’s my phone and if it’s not my phone it’s my iPad and if it’s not my iPad it’s the TV. At weekends, my screen use drops dramatically. If anything the Peep Club Eye Wand has focussed me on ensuring I’m taking breaks mid-week too because I did the numbers. It’s easy to let screens overwhelm you without realising. The wand is £60 on pre-order at Victoria Health HERE.

 

Gently vibrating at a frequency of 10,000 pulses a minute, our Eye Wand effectively stimulates the Meibomian Gland (which is the secret to combatting dry eyes). As a bonus, this vibration also helps with Lymphatic Drainage to keep the eye area healthy.

    Thats interesting – I recently had a Teresa Tarmey facial treatment that included heat therapy – which I thought I had good results from but as my problem is eye puffiness I’m so used to putting something cool there to help with this. Cold teaspoons from the fridge or cucumber etc… I wonder if heat will have the same effect then.

      I think that it’s the massage element that will be most helpful for reducing puffiness because it allows for drainage of the area. But red light is indicated as helpful for puffiness too – I don’t have puffs so I can’t speak personally but I’ve seen reviews attesting to the benefits of red light for puffiness.

    At the start of lockdown in March 2020 I had what I thought was a stye and looked as if I’d done 10 rounds in a boxing ring. It then spread to the other eye. I spent the next seven months using creams, drops, washing the eye with hot salted water, baby shampoo. It would clear up and start again. Eventually after an appointment at the local eye hospital it was diagnosed as Meibomian Gland Syndrome. I have to use a microwave heated flax pad, the heat loosens the blocked oil and I was my eyelids with tea tree oil and wipes. The heat pad has been a game changer – no more styes and I’m able to wear makeup again. Unfortunately, the chemicals prescribed by the doctor weakened my eyelashes but they’re improving. Following my latest eye test I also take high dose Omega 3 (only Omega 3) and this too has helped.

      Until a few weeks ago I had never heard of the Meibomian glands – I’m so pleased you’ve found a way to keep yours out of trouble 🙂
