Avenova: The Power of Hypochlorous Acid

Naturally produced by your immune system, hypochlorous acid gently and effectively clears bacteria and other pathogens, leaving your eye area clean and irritation free.

The Problem

Why Your Eyes Feel Irritated

  • Healthy Eye

    Everyday Eye Hygiene

    Just like brushing your teeth, your eyelids need daily care. You can prevent build up of bacteria by maintaining a consistent cleansing regimen. Cleaning eyelids daily helps maintain comfortable, hydrated eyes.

  • Unhealthy Eye

    Buildup of Bacteria

    However, sometimes oils, dead skin, and debris can build up along your lash line. If not properly addressed, this can irritate your eyes and block glands, leading to redness, styes and discomfort. This is where hypochlorous acid can help.

    Eyelid hygiene is often overlooked, yet it plays an important role in maintaining overall eye comfort. Debris, excess oils, environmental irritants, and bacteria can all contribute to irritation when proper cleansing becomes inconsistent.

    Learn more about daily habits that support healthier, more comfortable eyes.

Healthy Eye
The Science

Defend Against Daily Debris and Bacteria

Avenova contains a single active ingredient: hypochlorous acid, which is naturally produced in your white blood cells to fight infection. It’s powerful, yet gentle.

Safe, non-toxic and non-irritating—perfect for use on eyelids, the thinnest skin on our bodies. HOCl can:

  • Clean away bacteria, dirt and debris
  • Reduce irritation 
  • Protect the delicate skin around your eyes


While daily cleansing supports healthier lids and lashes, many eye care professionals recommend pairing lid hygiene with a broader eye hydration strategy that also addresses tear quality and ocular surface health.

Why Avenova
