Heidi Klum reportedly uses collagen-based eye patches like these for a face that's always camera-ready … now if only we could find out the secret behind her supermodel body. These patches from Wilma Schumann come pre-packaged in skin-conditioning ingredients like rosa canina fruit oil and hyaluronic acid -- an of-the-moment ingredient that gently plumps and hydrates the skin.
The next best thing to actually getting eight hours of sleep, these patches tick off every box on even the pickiest of skin care user's checklist. Japanese-based skin care line that uses ingredients like Okinawa red algae and peony extract, which get the geisha seal of approval for giving skin a dewy and brightened appearance? Check. A uniquely hydrating and skin-perfecting coconut derived base? Check. Originally created to help heal burn victims, making them supereffective without causing irritation? Check.
StriVectin offers a simple, two-step eye patch and smoothing balm system that work in tandem to erase fine lines and wrinkles. Allow the ridged eye patches to sit on the skin for 15 minutes. Follow with their smoothing balm, specifically formulated to lock in the wrinkle-smoothing patches' anti-aging ingredients like hyaluronic acid.
The genius part about these patches is they're also designed to be used on frown and laugh lines on the forehead and lips, so you can target multiple areas at once.
Dr. Altchek's eye patches are bringing the derm to your door … and at a superaffordable price. The box of 10 is enough for several weeks of treatments, but one 30-minute session smoothes out fine lines and wrinkles with vitamin E, and hydrates the delicate skin under your eyes with aloe vera.
If you want an extra burst of cool, Dr. Altchek recommends keeping the box in the fridge, though they left my eyes feeling refreshed straight out of the package.
Patchology takes eye patch technology to the next level with micro-current stimulation. The micro-current amps up the body's natural production of collagen and elastin with the use of a low-level electrical current, while also delivering good-for-skin ingredients like hyaluronic acid to hydrate, vitamin C to brighten and cucumber and mint extracts to calm and soothe. After applying the activating gel to the patches, sit with them on for 20 minutes (you can expect a slight tightening and cooling sensation), then remove the patches and cleanse with the refreshing wipes.
