Great, I found the We Love Eyes brush. Will get that.
Is the Aveno eyelid /lash cleanser the one with pure hypochlorous acid spray in a brown bottle? That's all I find for that brand. Not tea tree oil?

I purchased some from Amazon and others directly from We Love Eyes. I probably have too many, but I alternate what I'm using.

I've attached a photo of my arsenal and crossed off the one brush that I'm not using. Not quite sure what it does and it doesn't feel good. the bug brush I've only used once for removing eye makeup because I've stopped wearing any for a while. I realized that I never opened the brown bottle and will do that today and use it. I bought 24 of the pink face cloths from Amazon and am very conscious of how I use them. I don't want one to pick up a Demodex and place it on the other side of my face, so I use several cloths with each washing. The little round cotton pads behind the bottles are what I use to dry my eyes but never use the same pad on both eyes. I buy them by the 100's from Amazon and don't even use the back because it may transfer onto my fingers. I probably go through 30+ in a day (morning and night).

Unfortunately all of that is what we have to do to get rid of these things - at least for now. I'm hoping there will be major advancements through AI. My dermatologist is conflicted about the DX. We saw him last week for my husband and I asked him about DX and he said he's studied them, they're part of the human biome, are a natural part of us and we need them, but they also harm us when out of control. Uggh! But at least he's fully aware of them and surprised us by sitting down and taking time to talk about them for a while, even though I wasn't his patient that day.
