If you really do love your cucumber slices, try these patches -- they contain anti-inflammatory cucumber extract. But the benefits don't stop there. There's also brightening vitamin C and some of Bliss's signature oxygenating ingredients. I like that these patches come in pods with the cotton on one side and the active ingredients on the other. While it's designed to keep the actives, well, active, I like to use half the serum for the first 10 minutes, and then refresh the pads with more for another 10. Even if it doesn't change the results, you feel like you're getting a double treatment.
Retinol is the gold standard in anti-aging ingredients. (Yes, we've said it a million times before.) The downside is that it can cause dryness and flaking. In this patch, retinol is combined with moisturizing ingredients, making it perfect for targeting stubborn crow's feet.
These eye patches, which contain ceramides and essential oils, were developed to mimic a post-surgery technology (similar to special bandages used to heal wounds). The active ingredients are released gradually over time, and you can reuse each set of patches three times -- they even come with a special storage case. Bonus: in addition to dark circles, wrinkles and puffiness, they can help scars fade.
The SK-II Facial Treatment Mask is the sheet mask that launched a thousand copycats. This mini version -- soft cotton drenched with rice-derived, skin-brightening Pitera and moisturizers -- is tailored to the eye area. And since the eye area needs extra love, why not use it once a week and save the full-face mask for special occasions?
If you're sensitive to fragrances, you'll love these scent-free patches. Though I'm a sucker for fragrances, I adore these patches -- mostly for their soothing Jell-O-like texture. They're made of a marine hyaluronic complex that plumps the skin and makes them feel cool to the touch.
