One week using "Wet Ones" with Benzethonium Chloride

Hi Sopie

I cant say I've seen the red ones either but then I havent really looked for them......I use the original ones.....Blue Pack.

Love

Eileen

 

Thank you for such a quick reply. Yes, online I can only find the red ones from USA, and the postage was huge! Ok, the blue pack it is then. Thank you so much - Sophie

Hi Sophie

Thank you Ian - yes I am tempted to ship them over - it'll be worth it if they work!

Hello Ian and Sophie

I thought i should tell you this

Hi Lynda

just looked at the post and checked my wet ones i get the sensitive ones i have looked on the back and all mine says is benzalkonium chloride (0.0975g in 100g of dosed liquid ) so is this the same one or safer one?  (pale blue packet be gentle)  they are hypoallergenic does this make a differrence or not? if they are the same what site do you get them off   looking forward to hearing from you jeanette

Dear Jeanette,

Boy! Am I having a bad day. I looked at the back of the package of Wet Ones and they say 0.3%. So it is O K to use that amount as that is what I used and many others used. It looked like the other way. Couldn't see the dot. Well, at least others are going to be fine. I panicked.

The Dr.will be getting back to me and now I have to email him with the correct amount too. Will let you know what that amount is when I find out myself.

Sorry about the panic. Worried I was going to give the wrong kind of product to use. Guess Honjon's is still a good to use until I find different.

Let you know what I learn. Sorry for my mistake.

Talk later,

Lynda

Hi Lynda

no panic on my part i just go with the flow LOL it done me good i know a lot of people will panic but no problem on my behalf i can see where you are coming from as long as you have sorted it out. hope your day gets better i am still using them and until something better comes along i  guess i will keep on using them   so take care and will look forward to talking  to you later jeanette x                                                    

Morning Lynda! Thank you for the messages... dont worry, I for one, decided to buy the USA red pack, and am currently waiting for them to arrive! Found them on ebay for £16.00 (2 tubs and delivery to England) Will later let you know how she gets on (They're for my 21yr old daughter, who burst into tears last week when the hospital nurse was a bit blunt with her and said, there is no cure, you'll have it till you die so you may as well get used to it!!)

Best wishes for now - Sophie

Dear Sophie and Jenny,

I am having a bad 24 hours here. The wipes in the US (I read it wrong) do have Benzethonium Chloride at 0.3%. I did not see the dot.

Bottom line is if I got this again I would use it and kill it again.

It is a staphylococcus infection and this does kill it.

I am sorry about the amount. I am up at 3:30 here in a panic. But I would do it again. My friend used a facial scrub and I do not know how much Benzthonium Chloride was in that as they reformulated it.

If a person is allergic then they should not use these. I am trying to get a Dr. to work on the antibiotic for this. He is interested.

There is no cure my Dr. told me. I guess that is why I was so desperate.

Sorry about the amount of ingredient. I need better glasses.

It will kill it and it does not go in the eyes. Just make sure your daughter uses a small section of wipe (I tore them into 8 sections) to just go around the fingertip to do the eyelash area.

Sorry for all this crazy panic stuff.

It does work for most but some are allergic and can get contact dermatitis.

Hope I can sleep now.

I am not totally with you as I thought you were talking about wet ones found in uk and ones Honjoun used, so the ones with Bezalkonium chloride...

Whatever, everything is fine with all of us..Go to sleep dear Lynda.

Dear Jenny,

I was talking about the ones in the UK as someone on another site sent me into a panic. I then realized that the US ones are 0.3% Benzethonium Chloride. I couldn't see the dot.

Bottom line is I would use them again to kill it if I got it again.

I couldn't stand the itching I had constantly.

Sorry for all the fuss. Just  don't put them in the eye.

I think I am stressed out here with worry for others and what I have said.

Thank you,

Lynda79

Hello Jenny and Lynda

Good point Jenny - I also thought Lynda was in a panic over the UK ones?! Thats why I wasnt worried, I've sent off for the USA blue packet?!

Oh poor Lynda, I am sorry to hear this is getting stressful!!! But we all do appreciate the advice still!

Sophie

Dear jeanette,

Thank you I do feel a little better. Sorry for the amount being wrong.

I am going back to bed.

Lynda 79

Hello

I have red package bought from Usa...wanted to have the one Lynda suggested even though it wasnt easy to find...

Xx

Hi

We dont want you to be overstressed and take it so personally...nobody is going to crucify you...You made a small mistake so what...

Relax

Love,

Jenny

Dear Lynda79 i hope you feel a lot better today.well i am still using the wet ones and i my eyes have never felt as good as they do now since i found this site and your advice(and Honjon). so i think i speak for the majority who is cursed that is the only word i can describe it as that if it was not for people like you (and honjon again)  we would still be nearly demented with our eyes. i for one is a100% better than i was!!! so please do not get stressed on my behalf!!! that is me!!! sotake care and hope to hear from you soon  jeanette xx 

Dear Jeanette,

You made me feel so much better. I looked up the Tox report again and it said at the conclusion:

"It is concluded that both compounds are safe at concentrations of 0.5 percent in cosmetics applied to the skin. A maximum concentration of 0.02 percent is safe for cosmetics used in the eye area."

It was talking about Benzethonium Chloride and Methylbenzethonium.

I didn't look anything up to start with. I just knew what she (a friend) used to kill it and was desperate. The fact that it worked I would do it again.

Just want to thank you as felt I was giving wrong info but it is still safe for the majority. I felt bad that I read it wrong. It is now 0.3% Benzethonium Chloride in the hand wipes. I still haven't heard from the Dr. about the amount in the UK wipes. Honjon proved that they work.

I wonder if the chemist could give the answer to that more so than the Dr.?

Thanks for being so encouraging.

Such a friend you are.

Lynda79

Dear Jenny,

You are such a nice friend too. I was too stressed in the middle of the night to thank you properly.

I felt like bolting. You and Jeanette helped me so much.

Thanks ever so much.

Your friend,

Lynda

Hi

First thingin the morning i used to check my eyes in the mirror....my day used to start with frustration.Now i am having my cup of coffee before my work and I am happy.

So we are thankful to YOU 😊

You shouldnt be so hard on yourself even though i can understand where it is coming from.

We are together in this. 

Take some time off the forum and have the rest.

We shall speak soon

Xx

Dear Lynda all i know is that it works and i would no bout do it again in an instant. I would not think twice about as i was at the end of my tether and so desparate to get some reliefe for my eyes i would have done anything!!! That is how down i was with the redness soreness and all the other things i had wrong with my eyes? but now no more redness/soreness and back to wearing mascara after well to long !!!  so i personally will keep on using them twice a day now not four as i was doing so you take care and look after yourself and thank you and Honjon for all your advice and i would be glad to call you a friend  jeanette x   

 

Hi Lynda79  just a few lines to see how you are doing? I am doing better with my eyes and as i said before i am looking forward to next year and still wearing mascara for sons wedding!!!! just wanted to ask would it help some one with hayfever? they said their eyes are a bit crusty and dry so i said i would ask you to see if you could help and if the wet ones would help them? i hope you are better than your last post and had a bit time out for yourself? I tell everyone about wet ones and how it has helped my eyes.I actually carry a packet in my bag when i go any where!!! Well take care and i look forward to hearing from you your friend jeanette x

 

Dear Jeanette,

Yes, I took some time off and went to a Regional Convention and then to Sea World (Sea animal park).

I don't know about the problem with the crusty eyes but if she is not allergic what can it hurt to at least try them and see if it helps.

Be sure and ask about the shampoo and detergent allergy etc.

Of course, if I had not used the wipes I would be sitting around with honey on my eyelashes or anything else someone said would help.

Going to post the info on the antibiotic soon as I don't think the doctors in the US are interested in the curing of it.

There is an antibiotic that acts like the wipes in the way that they work to kill the Staphylococcus.

After that side bar, back to the question, the wipes can be drying so just once to try it. Be sure and tell her about the little pieces you use so as to not put all over your skin.

I do worry. Hope this helps your friend.

Your friend,

Lynda

 

Hi Lynda so pleased you went and enjoyed your break.I will tell her to try it and also about how to do it and see what happens as you say it cant hurt. I did tell her about the allergys and she said she was not.as you say you will try anything if it helps (even honey) thought it was just me!!! lol hubby thought i had lost it!!!  so happy to hear from you again and you should not worry as much so you take care and hope to hear from you soon  your friend   jeanette 

Dear Jeanette,

Some Blepharitis is crusty so that is why I said to try it once. I would.

Hope to hear it helps.

Your friend,

Lynda

Dear Lynda i passed the information on and told her to try it just the once to see if it was alright. Up till now so far so good had no txts fingers crossed!!!! Will keep you posted take care      

your friend jeanette

Dear Jeanette,

Hope all goes well. I posted to kitkat on the antibiotic I think will work as her case was the wost I have heard so far. Going to see if she can see the logic of the info I gave her. If so, then I can post to others.

I have given to 2 doctors so far. Going for the dentist next month. I gave him one half of the info so far. He is young so might be more motivated and have an eye doctor friend.

Enough of my yammering on.

Hope this is success for your friend too.

Your friend,

Lynda

Hi Lynda79

just a quick update well still using wet ones twice a day have had a day where it was really red and sore but i just upped it to 3/4 times a day and by the night time it was easing off and the following morning it was clear . Now i am back to doing it twice a day.It is great where as before it would never really go away it was always red and (very) sore!!!! So how are you keeping well i hope and not doing to much!!!Never heard from my friend since i said to try the wet ones so it must be doing him good!!! M/I/Lher eyes started to ease but she has not been well and her eyes still not as bad as they were so thats good news!!!

     

    Well hope to hear from you soon  and take care

                                                                

      Your friend jeanette

Dear Jeanette,

Doing O K and keeping busy.

Glad to hear that you are doing well.

You have to keep at this and be determined and it will go away.

I gave it over 3 months so don't lose heart.

Thinking of you,

Lynda

And now I see that indeed you do recommend trying the eydrops that contain Benzthonium Chloride just to the lash area. Thank you so much for helping so many here! and thanks o all of you for your reports.
