The little ones supplied with lenses etc don't have much capacity to absorb water & fall apart if you try regenerating them. You can get larger packs that can be stuck in an ordinary oven at 120°C to dry them out.

I got mine from work brought for an instrument we no longer use - but I'm sure others can be found on the likes of Amazon. Just make sure you get regenerative desiccant.
