Thealoz Duo Gel UD

Overall target layer: Aqueous + epithelial cell protection
Preservative and its effect: Preservative-free (single-dose UD, phosphate-free).
Ingredients:
Trehalose 3%: cell protection and activation of cell survival mechanisms in severe dryness (target layer: aqueous + epithelial protection)
Sodium Hyaluronate 0.15%: hydration and viscosity (target layer: aqueous)
Carbomer 0.25%: keeps trehalose and hyaluronate on the ocular surface for up to 6 hours (target layer: aqueous + mucin adhesion)
Additional benefits (beyond lubrication): Adding carbomer to the original Thealoz Duo formula (available as drops) keeps trehalose and hyaluronic acid on the surface for up to 6 hours, making it the better choice for nighttime use or severe dry eye compared with the drops
