Review (5/5): Pretty great, works very well and keeps heat for 10-15 minutes
This is the best stye mask I have tried, comparing it to the Walgreens brand pearl mask and the Bausch & Lomb pearl mask. The pearl masks I think get hotter and are a little easier when they are still new to mold around your eye; but the bead mask here on Amazon does pretty darn well conforming to your eye as well. The pearl masks have a plastic cover/body, so after you wash it with soap & water and use it for a few months, it doesn't conform as well as it does in the beginning and can kind of poke your eye when using it. I would say the bead mask is harder to clean, as the instructions just recommend using a damp cloth/paper towel to wipe the mask, which is interesting. The pearl mask you can actually use soap & water so I think it's cleaner, however the heat is really what is important so the bead mask wins. I would just wipe my eye with a paper towel/bath towel to clean it, after using the bead mask. The plastic pearl masks also get much more oily when touching your face and you really need to clean your mask & face after using it, while the bead mask doesn't pick up so much oil from my experience.
