Who knows the pain of an early morning swim, then
heading to work with tell-tale goggle marks around your eyes?
Â
It's something we, the Outdoor Swimmer team, know too well. While we wear our goggle marks with pride, we were all chomping at the bit to try TRIHARD's Pre & Post-Swim Eye Gel to see if it would make a difference.
Â
Personally I have dry and sensitive skin around my eyes, and this can be aggravated by chlorine in the pool, so I was excited to try the gel for its clean ingredients – chamomile that
soothes sensitive skin, and sea buckthorn oil, which reduces inflammation. The gel is dermotologist-tested and is safe for all skin types.

To put the eye gel to the test, myself, Outdoor Swimmer founder Simon, editor Ella and feature writer Rowan had two of our usual swim training sessions: one WITHOUT applying the eye gel before and after the swim, and one WITH the application of the gel before and after.
Â
We were surprised and pleased with the results, seeing a big difference the eye gel made for leaving our skin calm and hydrated, and very little to no goggle marks at all.
Â
Here's what the team thought of the TRIHARD Pre & Post-Swim Eye Gel...

Thinner, delicate eye skin is a big issue in this delightful perimenopausal phase – even my softest goggles leave an
imprint. So, I jumped at the chance to try the TRIHARD Eye Gel before my swim to protect around my eyes from chlorine, then again afterwards. The cool ceramic applicator feels blissful on tired, puffy eyes, and the lightweight gel – packed with hyaluronic acid and aloe – leaves my skin calm, hydrated and less marked.

Pool swimming can sometimes irritate the skin around my eyes, and the TRIHARD Eye Gel genuinely helped. Applying it before and after my swim left my skin feeling softer and more hydrated. For swimmers who are bothered by irritation or goggle marks, this gel adds a soothing, easy step to the routine.

I have dry and sensitive skin around my eyes, which can feel itchy after a pool swim. On application of the TRIHARD Eye Gel before and after my swim, my skin instantly felt cooled and calmed, and there was barely
any hint of goggle marks on my face. This little blue bottle is now a permanent resident of my swim kit bag.

I'm already a fan of the TRIHARD Pre & Post-Swim Moisturiser so was keen to try this product. I am prone to dark circles under
my eyes anyway and goggles just exacerbate the problem. I applied the product before swimming and I immediately saw an improvement in my tired eyes. The product is cooling, smells lovely and easily absorbed. My skin looked brighter, less puffy and no goggle marks remained!
Â
Â
The eyes have it!
Â
So, it turns out the Outdoor Swimmer
team are now eye gel converts.
Â
Whether you're fussed about goggle marks or not, the skin around the eye area needs extra care if you wear goggles and swim in a chlorinated pool frequently. And with products like the TRIHARD Pre & Post-Swim Eye Gel, swimmers' eyes can get that much needed dose of TLC – and no goggle marks!
