About Artelac

Artelac is a new, three-strong range of preservative-free eye drops to help relieve, protect and hydrate dry and irritated eyes. Artelac Every Day, Artelac Protect and Artelac Night, have been expertly created by specialists to provide a trusted quick-fix to common dry eye symptoms including gritty, itchy and sore eyes.

I tried out Artelac Every Day and Artelac Protect, both of which contain sodium hyaluronate, a natural moisturiser, and are suitable to use with all types of contact lenses. They are uniquely formulated to refresh and calm the eyes. Artelac Protect also reinforces the eyesâ€™ natural barrier against allergens, so I was using this one a lot over the summer. It contains Ectoin, a 100% natural molecule, with cell-protective and anti-inflammatory properties.

Artelac Night (which I haven’t tried) supports all three layers of the tear film and provides long-lasting moisturisation during sleep.

My Experience

I was *really* excited by the Artelac Protect eyedrops. Most of the medicated products available for Hayfever aren’t compatible with contact lenses, which means most Summers I just have to deal with the sore eyes. As Artelac Protect is contact lens friendly and designed just to help reinforce your eyes own natural protection against allergens it meant that this year I didn’t have to suffer. They can be used as often as you like, which meant that I could pop them in my handbag and use them whenever my eyes got really sore. Especially useful once I was back at work, and working outdoors in June.

The Artelac Every Day I have been using more over August once my Hayfever started to wane. As Lockdown has eased I’ve actually been going out in the evenings occasionally *gasp* so I want to wear my contact lenses both for work in the morning and for socially distanced pub visits. I’ve actually been putting the eye drops in first thing in the morning when I put the lenses in as I find that it helps settle them in. Then I take it out with me during the day, so I don’t have to worry about sore and tired eyes later on.

I’ve added several new thing to my handbag essentials over the last 6 months, a face mask and hand sanitiser weren’t something I particularly WANTED to be something I couldn’t leave the house without, but I’m not sorry that the Artelac Eyedrops have made it into my bag.

The Details

Artelac Every Day is priced at Â£9.99, Artelac Protect is priced at Â£12.99 and Artelac Night is priced at Â£10.99 â€“ all available on Amazon and Superdrug.com. For more information visit www.artelac.co.uk.

This post has been a long time coming! My partnership with Artelac actually started around the same time as lockdown, but then, you know the apocalypse happened and getting to this point took a loooong time. However, that does mean that there’s a good 3 months of experience behind the review you’re about to read,…

I am proud to say that planning my weekly meals is something I’ve now been doing really consistently for at least 4 years. I can’t imagine how I ever managed to eat before I planned my meals, and the costs must have been astronomical. We would walk around the supermarket and just buy things that…

This is a sponsored post that was mostly written about a week ago, considering how much more important exercising outside and staying healthy is right now, I figured it’s as relevant as ever. But first, I’ll start with a bit of my back story! Amongst the many, many injuries that I never let heal properly…

For those of you who don’t know. This year I turned 40. The last time I remember riding a bike I was 18. I was having a picnic in the park with some friends and the public toilets were REALLY far away, so I borrowed my friend’s bike to get there quicker and I remember…
A Pawfect Day with Pugs

It’s nearly 2 years now since the Pugs came into our lives and their presence has changed things a lot. We have less money, obviously, because Dog Insurance, food that suits their sensitive tummies, eye drops, soft toys, treats, poo bags and all the other things they apparently need just to exist don’t come cheap.…

If there’s one thing I noticed at the end of this Roller Derby season, it’s that my body desperately needed a break. Playing a contact sport is tough, and playing it into your 40s means you really have to start listening to your body. If your body says it needs a break from being beaten…

Recently I worked with Bupa on their #everydaymoments campaign, and I shared how mindfulness meditation helped me find my “zen” and deal with anxiety. As part of the campaign Bupa asked me if I’d like to go along for one of their Health Assessments, and share my experience. I was actually super keen! I’d considered…

What would you miss in your life if you couldn’t do it anymore? When someone asks me that question the first thing I always think of is roller derby. But, it wasnâ€™t until I found my inner Zen that I was able to enjoy my favourite hobby confidently and without crumbling. There are hundreds of…
