Exactly how do eye patches work for your under-eyes? What makes Patchology eye gels so good? In this blog post, we'll explore how Patchology's under-eye patches can help you bid farewell to puffiness and dark circles, leaving you with a refreshed and radiant under-eye area. And we'll take a deep dive into the ingredients that make our eye gels effective.

What Can Eye Gels Do For Your Skin?

Under-eye patches, AKA under-eye masks or under-eye gels, are a popular self-care skincare product designed specifically to target the delicate skin around the eyes. These patches are infused with various active ingredients and are shaped to fit the contour of the under-eye area. When applied, they offer a range of benefits that can help improve the appearance and condition of the skin.

How do you wear eye gels?

That depends on what you're targeting. If you want to zap dark circles place the larger part of the eye patch closest to your nose.

Patchology Eye Gels For Dark Circles and Puffiness

Say Goodbye to Dark Circles:

The combination of active ingredients, such as caffeine and Hyaluronic Acid, in Patchology's Rejuvenating under-eye patches targets those stubborn dark circles. Caffeine helps constrict blood vessels, reducing the appearance of dark circles caused by poor circulation. Hyaluronic Acid and peptides deliver intense moisture and promote collagen production, leaving your skin visibly smoother and more youthful.

Firm and Depuff:

Patchology's under-eye patches contain collagen-boosting peptides that promote elasticity and firmness. As you regularly use our On Ice eye patches, you'll notice a visible reduction in the puffiness and increased firmness around your eyes, giving you a more youthful and radiant look. By boosting collagen production, the Peptide blend can help reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and other signs of aging. Meanwhile, vitamin C of the Cloudberry Extract brightens and lightens the skin, giving your under-eye area a more youthful and even-toned appearance.

What do under-eye patches actually do? 

Under-eye patches are a popular self-care product that can help to reduce puffiness, dark circles, and fine lines around the eyes. They work by delivering a concentrated dose of beneficial ingredients to the delicate skin under the eyes. The patches are made of a hydrogel material that is designed to adhere to the skin and deliver the ingredients deep into the delicate under-eye skin.

Some of the Patchology ingredients found our under-eye patches:

• Caffeine: Caffeine is a vasoconstrictor, which is a fancy word for helping to shrink blood vessels. This can reduce puffiness and dark circles.
• Hyaluronic acid: Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance that helps to keep the skin hydrated. This can help to plump up the skin under the eyes and reduce the appearance of fine lines.
• Niacinamide: Niacinamide is a form of vitamin B3 that has brightening and anti-inflammatory properties. This can help to reduce the appearance of dark circles and improve the overall appearance of the skin under the eyes.
• Peptides: Peptides are small proteins that can help to boost collagen production and improve the elasticity of the skin. This can help to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
