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.
I adore Klorane's hair products, so I was especially excited to try these eye patches -- and they didn't disappoint. They're soaked with soothing cornflower extract, calming chamomile and arnica -- an ingredient that's used to minimize bruising (perfect for dark circles). Pop them in the fridge as the package suggests, and the benefits are even better.
I love the soothing and ultra-moisturizing effects of this eye mask, but that's not even the best part. Unlike most other eye patches, these go all the way around the eye -- so not only are you treating dark circles and lines underneath, you're also treating the lid (where I'm often the puffiest).
If you want to try an eye treatment patch but you're also in need of a new eye cream, this kit from Lancôme ticks both boxes. The Ultimate Rejuvenating Balm-Elixir is a rich cream that's packed with cells from the brand's signature rose (as an ingredient, it helps with brightness and elasticity). It's silky, sinks in fast and minimizes lines in six weeks. For added punch, it comes with six sets of bio cellulose patches. They help the cream penetrate, giving you instant brightening, lifting and de-puffing effects. Basically, you get the best of both worlds.
