and for anyone saying the deal is dead - I could still order them, I ordered 3 pieces.
and there is free shipping available for 35$ order, so you don't have to go to the store.
I have dry eye syndrome and I have been using masks from this brand for almost a decade now. I go to the eye doctor couple times per year for checkups or treatments, and I can vouch for their effectiveness. Whenever I am not using them daily, I can see the state of my eyes deteriorating, and my doctor pointed that out as well. What they help with is to liquify the oils that the oil glands in the eye lids are producing (which is supposed to mix with your tears and prevent them from evaporating fast). If you have dry eye syndrome, that oil switches from liquid to viscous (think sunflower oil vs coconut oil at room temperature), so it stops flowing, leaving the surface of your eye unprotected. The mask helps to liquify that oil and get it flowing again. It can keep your glands unclogged, because once they get clogged, they eventually die and there is no way to bring them back. It may not be enough to keep this condition 100% under control, but it does help A LOT, and it reduces the need for using artificial tears, ointments etc, because you are helping your eyes to work properly.
The masks usually cover only your eyes, but this particular version is also covering the forehead, supposedly to help with sinus issues. I do have a deviated septum in my nose and trouble with congestion. I can't say it helps much in that department, I think I am still congested even after using them, but it does feel very soothing to have that heat over the forehead, so I did switch from using the narrow eye masks to the wider eye + forehead ones. Even if it does not help, I guess it does not hurt either
