TheraPearl Eye-ssential Mask

This product was good while it lasted, which wasn't very long--maybe 3-4 months, using it about 2-3 times a week. I too had a seam split around the nose area that caused mushy gel beads to leak out. I wrote the company and was told "We have tested the product to be used at least 15 20 times, however, I personally have used mine well over 30 times. If you aren't seeing that turn around in the product, please return it to the facility where you purchased it for a replacement."

15-20 times? Why doesn't it indicate that in the description? I thought this would have more permanence than that.

Actually, this is one of the best eye masks that I have ever owned. The construction can come off a little cheap/flimsy (at first, I thought I was going to seriously dislike this mask). Still, I put it in the freezer and tried it out the next day. Ummm... I wasn't exactly comfy with freezing my eyeballs; but after a short warmup, this mask was perfect. Flexible enough to get in there and do the job (unlike some I've tried), and the cooling effect lasted for quite a while. The only downside for me, is the liquid inside turning to ice crystals... nothing at all to do with how effective it is, but it makes me think of freezer frost.

Buy TheraPearl Eye-ssential Mask Now

i have two of these eye masks. i keep one in the freezer while using the other, and when it eventually gets warmi grab the other.

the frozen mask can be really, really cold on your eyes, so sometimes i keep them both in the fridge. just switch out when they warm.

the pink eye mask is a better version, it has a thicker strap and can be heated. that i give 5 stars.

overall, i give it 4 stars because it serves its purpose relieving headaches, sinus pain, and whatnot. missing a star because of the thin strap and it's the only one you can't heat because there are metal tabs keeping the head band attached. if you felt like removing the strap with the metal, you can heat it. but, i recommend just getting the pink one for heat therapy.

I bought this hoping to finally find a nice eye mask that would last me a while. When I got this in the mail I was super excited, the plastic didn't feel too cheep, the little gel balls inside were interesting, and not hard at all. Unfortunately this mask only lasted about 4 nights. I never fell asleep with this on, I always took it off before I fell asleep, but on the 5th night of using it, I felt some liquid on my face, and to my surprise it had already broken :(

This product is getting 2 stars because of how nice it was before it broke.

In my last eye exam I was told that my meibomian glands (basically automatic oilers for the eyelids) are clogged. Some days I awake with my eyes so dry that I can't seem to blink and it takes several minutes to get them working. Heat was suggested as a way to get the oil flowing. I've been very pleased with this mask, though I've only used it a few times, it really does the trick. After about 5 or 6 minutes the eyes are working well, better than I'm able to get them to work without the heat. If the mask leaks in a few weeks as some reviewers have claimed, I'll update this review. I find that 9 seconds in the microwave is enough to heat it about right. The manufacturer says never heat in the microwave for more than 15 seconds. I don't use the strap.

Update I've used this for about 6 months now and I noticed that when the pouch is heated up that there seems to be more air in it than when it was new. Finally, I noticed a low squeak from it when it was just out of the microwave. That relieved the pressure and it rests more comfortably on my eyes now. I've NOT noticed any leaks of anything wet coming from it and it does not seem to have a hole in it when it is cool. So, I guess that it only has than little hole when it is warm and pliable. I do treat it with respect, still it seems to be be sealed up good when it is cold, so there is every any mess.
