As for children, the Eye Mo eyedrop is safe to use among children aged 3 and above.
THE REAL THING
Eye Mo is a household brand in Malaysia but did you know that it went absent from the market from 2013 to 2017.
According to the company, when consumers seek to buy Eye Mo even after it returned to the market in 2017, they were still being offered other brands.
The Real Thing campaign aims to tell Malaysians that Eye Mo has made its return, and to position itself as ‘the real thing’.
For the campaign, Eye Mo teamed up with content creator Luqman Podolski to create a video that depicts how irritated eyes can affect our ability to tell what is real and what is not.
In Malaysia, Eye Mo offers two variants; Eye Mo regular drops which relieves minor eye irritation, and Eye Mo Moist designed to moisturise and refresh the eyes.
The eye drops are available at all leading pharmacies nationwide.
