WILL NERDWAX CLOG MY PORES OR MAKE MY SKIN BREAK OUT?
Nerdwax is formulated with your skin in mind!
It's made up of only the best Cosmetic Grade All-Natural and Certified Organic ingredients so not only is it great at keeping your glasses from sliding down your face it's great for your skin too!
All of the ingredients contained in nerdwax are approved for cosmetic use, but with that being said, as with any product that comes in contact with your skin, it is possible you could experience an allergic reaction.
Especially if you have experienced irritation from adhesive products like Band-Aids or Medical/Fasion Tape.
If you should experience allergic reaction please:
1. Discontinue use immediately
2. Clean glasses with a micro-fiber cloth, soap & water
ensuring all nerdwax is removed from glasses
3. Consult a dermatologist, and let us know so we can shoot you a refund.

If you should experience allergic reaction please:
1. Discontinue use immediately
2. Clean glasses with a micro-fiber cloth, soap & water
ensuring all nerdwax is removed from glasses

WILL NERDWAX WORK WITH SILICONE NOSE PADS?
YES! Nerdwax works by creating a tacky layer of friction between your glasses and your skin, so as long as your glasses touch your face and they are properly fitted then nerdwax will help keep them in place!!
Because there is less surface area with nose pads you may have to experiment with how much you apply, but don't be timid... if you apply too much you can always just wipe it off with a paper towel and start over!
CAN I USE NERDWAX WITH MAKEUP, SUNSCREEN OR LOTION?
We've had mixed reviews on this one...
We think it depends on what you're using and how you apply!
Some users have told us that they just don't apply their makeup/sunscreen where their glasses sit so as not to interfere with the nerdwax.
Your best bet is to just give it a shot for yourself!
If you give us a try and you don't love it... Just let us know... We'll make it right!!
** It is possible that using multiple skin care products at the same time can cause unforeseen allergic or chemical reactions.
If you are using any prescribed acne medication, sun-screens, or lotions please consult a dermatologist before using nerdwax.
If you are to experience a skin irritation as a result of using nerdwax in conjunction with other products:
1. Discontinue use immediately
2. Clean glasses with a micro-fiber cloth, soap & water, ensuring all nerdwax is removed from glasses
3. Consult a dermatologist, and let us know so we can make it right.
IF I MAKE WEIRD FACES WILL IT REALLY STAY LIKE THAT?
Yes. yes it will... now please stop. 😜
HOW LONG WILL A SINGLE APPLICATION OF NERDWAX LAST?
Nerdwax is worn off naturally by the facial oils produced by your skin... So if your skin is more oily, or you are working up a sweat nerdwax will wear off faster.
Application times can vary from 1-2hrs to a Full Day depending on how much you apply and what you are doing!
The beauty of nerdwax is that you can tailor your application to your activity. So, if you're going for a run, you can apply a thicker application.
If you're sitting down for an afternoon book with a cup of tea you can apply a thinner application!
HOW LONG WILL A SINGLE TUBE OF NERDWAX LAST?
Depending on the circumstances above... We estimate that you should get about 4-6mo out of a single tube!
WILL NERDWAX LEAVE GUNK ON MY GLASSES?
Depending on how much you apply there may be a small bit of residue left over... but do not fear!
You can just wipe it off with a paper towel or tissue and you're good to go!
WHAT IF NERDWAX GETS ON MY LENSES?
As most glasses owners know dirty lenses are the worst!! Keeping good quality microfiber cleaning cloths around is a must...if you get nerdwax on your lenses don't panic!
Just wash in the sink with warm soapy water and wipe off with a quality microfiber cloth... like any of the amazeballs ones we sell here on this site! 😉

QUESTIONS WE GET ALL THE TIME ABOUT THE
NERDWAX MAGIC DROPS
DO NERDWAX MAGIC DROPS CONTAIN ALCOHOL?
Yes they do
ARE MAGIC DROPS SAFE FOR THE COATINGS ON MY LENSES
Yes! Nerdwax Magic Drops are formulated specifically for use with all common optical coatings.
WILL NERDWAX MAGIC DROPS HELP KEEP MY GLASSES FROM FOGGING?
Nope... You're thinking about our FogBlock or Nerdwax Secret Sauce .
Nerdwax Magic Drops are our lens cleaner.
Is cereal soup?
No... that's absurd. Soup is hot. It's more like a cold wet grain bowl.
CAN I USE THE MAGIC DROPS TO ACTIVATE MY FOGBLOCK CLOTH?
TLDR: Nope
Anti-Fog products work by creating an invisible hydrophobic coating on the applied surface. Our Magic Drops are designed to remove contaminants from the surface of your lenses. So adding Magic Drops to your FogBlock is like salting Superman’s fries with kryptonite… probably not going to kill him but he’s gonna wanna call an Uber back to the apartment.
WILL MAGIC DROPS FIX SCRATCHES ALREADY ON MY LENSES?
Nerdwax Magic Drops are Magic but even Magic has limits... like time travel which causes warping of the space/time continuum and that's bad... you can't go making your mother fall in love with you because then you will cease to exist... duh.
What were we talking about? Scratches? Yeah Magic Drops don't fix scratches but they do help them to be less noticeable by removing any dust or oils that build up in them over time.
Are Magic Drops Safe for Camera lenses?
This is a complex one. If you're a Photog with expensive glass you know a scratch or ding is a nightmare. So your best bet is to avoid rubbing anything on your lens... keep them covered and only use airbursts to clean.
But what if you get oils or finger prints from getting up close and personal on that baby shoot? Well then yes Magic Drops and any of our Microfiber cloths will be awesome at removing!
Just make sure to take care of your cloth and clean regularly. You don't want a random piece of debris to collect in your cloth and then rub that bad boy all over your glass... no bueno!
WHAT IF I STILL HAVE QUESTIONS?

QUESTIONS WE GET ALL THE TIME ABOUT THE
NERDWAX FOGBLOCK & SECRET SAUCE
How do I use the FogBlock?
It's super simple! Just breathe on your lenses then wipe away the fog with your FogBlock cloth. Repeat this process until your breath no longer fogs your lenses.
WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE NERDWAX FOGBLOCK & SECRET SAUCE
The Nerdwax Secret Sauce is our incredible Anti-Fog Solution that comes in a little dropper bottle. To apply you need a good quality microfiber cloth.
The Nerdwax FogBlock is a microfiber cloth with the Secret Sauce embedded into it. So you don't have to go carrying around drops AND a cloth.
Although you don't have to use them together if you use a drop of the secret sauce to activate your FogBlock you'll get even better results and your FogBlock will last even longer!
Is Nerdwax FogBlock/Secret Sauce safe for the coatings on my lenses?
Absolutely it is! Both FogBlock and Secret Sauce were formulated specifically for use with all common optical coatings.
If you're using Secret Sauce be sure to only apply with a High Quality Microfiber cloth. Using a substandard cloth or T-shirt can ruin coatings.
*We've had reports from many users that FogBlock does not play well with Crizal coatings.
How long does FogBlock last?
Each FogBlock application will typically last all day depending on conditions. When the application starts to wear off just reapply.
Each cloth will last about 300 applications.
If animals could talk, which would be the smartest?
Cats who wear glasses... obviously.
Will FogBlock/Secret Sauce work on my swim goggles?
In theory yes it should! But none of the nerds around here have actually tried it for that.
If you give it a shot and it doesn't work for you just reply to your order confirmation email and we'll get you a refund... easy peasy
Will FogBlock/Secret Sauce Work on my Hockey Visor?
Yes! Absolutely it will! We have heard lots of great feedback on this one.
Will FogBlock/Secret Sauce work on my camera lens.
We don't suggest this because Anti-Fog solutions work by creating a little invisible coating on the surface of the glass this can cause lens distortion on cameras.
We have had reports from customers that it works well on viewfinders though!
What's in the Nerdwax Secret Sauce
Sorry but if we told you that we'd have to kill you... but we can confirm that it is most definitely NOT thousand island dressing.
Does FogBlock/Secret Sauce Contain PFA's?
Nerdwax FogBlock/Secret Sauce Do not contain PFA's, CMIT or MIT
WHAT IF I STILL HAVE QUESTIONS?
Apparently there's this website called Google that allows you to search all of human knowledge... j/k 🤣

MICROFIBER FAQ'S
QUESTIONS WE GET ALL THE TIME ABOUT
SECRETLY NERDY & JINKIES
How do I wash my Secretly Nerdy/Jinkies Cloth?
It's super simple. Just wash in the sink with warm soapy water and let airdry.
Washing in your machine will allow the Microfiber to pick up contaminants like oils from your cloths and particles from dryer sheets.
WHY DO I NEED TO USE MICROFIBER?
Microfiber cloths are essential to keeping your lenses clean and scratch free.
Microfiber cloth is woven super duper tight which allows it to pull oils and debris inside the cloth and away from the surface of the lens.
Not only do you get a much cleaner surface but you also get a safer longer lasting clean.
But why Jinkies?
In the words of our All-Time Nerdy Heroine Velma Dinkley "That’s one fish story no one will believe"
Do I have to keep my nerdy a secret to use Secretly Nerdy Cloths?
Absolutely not! Fly that nerd flag high... unless you don't want to in which case you do you and stay Secretly Nerdy.
Do I have to be a nerd to use your products?
You know that saying there are no stupid questions?
Yeah... that's patently false.
This is a stupid question and the fact that your reading this qualifies you for your introductory nerd badge and access to our Secret Stash.
*Password: therearenostupidquestions
What's makes your microfiber so special?
We know... most microfiber comes free in your glasses case and you just toss it in the trash.
That's because it is just that... cheap trash.
We'll avoid boring you with all the technical gibberish but essentially not all Microfiber is created equal.
The type of material and tightness of the loops affects the functionality of the cloth.
All our Microfiber products are tested in house by the pickiest glasses nerd of them all, The Don, founder of nerdwax.
We use only the highest grade microfiber available and all of our products are guaranteed to knock your socks off* or your money back.
*knock your socks off is a figurative term meaning "very impressed". No refund will be issued do to a physical lack of hosiery movement.
