Puralid Lipogel Ophthalmic Gel 15ml

Santen increases its portfolio of dry eye products in Portugal with the launch of Puralid Lipogel. It is an ophthalmic product with a unique composition of ingredients on the market to soften and cleanse the eyelids and periocular region during inflammatory processes such as blepharitis or blepharoconjunctivitis.
Blepharitis is a chronic disease and requires continuous treatment of symptoms through eyelid hygiene. Although eyelid hygiene is essential in treating symptoms, some patients may have difficulty adopting regular hygiene habits. Currently, the usual treatment is aimed at controlling symptoms
The composition of Puralid Lipogel is unique and is formulated with liposomes, which gives it a pleasant texture that is easy to apply, as well as being the vehicle for the remaining ingredients such as tea tree oil, vitamin A, xanthan gum, ferulic acid, vitamin E TPGS and alpha bisabolol, with multiple properties to alleviate the symptoms of blepharitis1:
Liposomes, formed by a double layer of phospholipids, are known for their softening and emollient properties, as well as their ability to effectively distribute active ingredients.
Tea tree oil, extracted from Melaleuca alternifolia, is known for its antimicrobial properties.
Vitamin A strengthens and maintains the skin by regulating epithelial function. It is also an antioxidant that, together with xanthan gum, ferulic acid and vitamin E TPGS, works in synergy with liposomes to protect the surface of the eyelid against the oxidative action of free radicals and UV rays.
Alpha bisabolol is the main component of chamomile essential oil. It has soothing properties, reduces redness and inflammation, even in the case of particularly delicate skin. It is characterized by good skin tolerability.
In addition to the above, Puralid Lipogel does not contain parabens, PEG (Polyethylene Glycol), mineral oils, alcohol, silicones, perfumes or paraffins, and can therefore be used on patients with delicate skin and after eye surgery.
