Definitely Softens Wax
I used these olive oil drops, in conjunction with “ScopeAround Wireless Otoscope Ear Camera”, to clear both ears of impacted wax. It took me a month. Both my ears had impacted ear wax, meaning the wax was hardened against the eardrum and seemingly immovable.Olive oil is an unsaturated (liquid) fat. It's recommended for consumption as it helps soften and melt the saturated (solid) fats that build up inside our blood vessels. That's why many put it on their food.It's not too dissimilar to what it does with your solid “fatty” earwax.The olive oil softens and melts the earwax it comes into contact with. See pictures for before and after Olive oil applications (2 days between pictures). You can see a distinct sheen from the wax that has been ‘melted’, but this is superficial (on the surface) only. I do not believe olive oil is penetrative in any way; that is to say, I don't think it breaks-up earwax.As said; I used an ear camera with scoop attachment to remove the wax, small amounts at a time, over the course of 4 weeks. See my review of “ScopeAround Wireless Otoscope Ear Camera” for details.I applied olive oil three times per day, softening the wax, then used the scope camera every other day to scoop out the softened wax I could. It took 10 days to clear one ear and another 18 days to clear the other. I did one ear at a time, so in total, around a month.Would olive oil have worked had I just used it on its own? In my opinion, not in my case, as the wax was hardened/impacted. However for ‘normal’ ear wax, I believe it would melt the wax, causing it to evacuate out the ear of its own accord. Sleeping on the side of the affected ear would encourage the wax to move out, a gravity assist.I have tried the Otex drops. I agree with some of the reviews that indicate it changes earwax to a yellow sticky sludge (used a camera to see), which may or may not be easier to evacuate. The downside of the Otex drops is they are chemicals which can only be used for a short time (few days at the most).Olive oil is natural, slow working and harmless.

Instructions
The product itself is great and does the job. But it's impossible to follow the instructions of squeezing 1 to 2 drops in your ears. Firstly you can't see the side of your ear when squeezing the chamber. No matter how gentle you squeeze, whatever's in the tube goes into your ear. So make sure you put as little as possible in the tube before you squeeze the contents into your ears.

its okay.. i guess..
Used to try and help soften the earwax in my ear, it worked but it was a horrible feeling.Don't over use this because it can cause issues based on horror stories i have heard from people, but i think they just where not doing it right or using a que tip to clean their ear which is not recommended because that will damage your ear.

Customer service was outstanding when I had questions about the product.
Repeat the following once or twice daily, for up to 2 weeks, until you notice an improvement in your symptoms: • Remove the cap and discard it carefully because the cap may pose a choking hazard. Following the first use, the dropper acts as a replacement for the original cap. • Remove the dropper from the separate sachet and insert into bottle. • Gently squeeze dropper to fill with Otex Olive Oil Ear Drops and hold. • Tilt your head and gently release 2-3 drops into the ear. • Avoid touching the ear with the dropper. • Keep your head tilted for a few minutes so that the drops stay in the ear, using a tissue to wipe away any surplus product that runs from the ear. • Repeat in the other ear, if necessary. • Always replace the dropper after use and return the bottle to the carton.
For full directions, see the enclosed package leaflet.
