What it is

Brightening hydrogel eye patch treatment that delivers cooling moisture with vitamin C derivative, peptides, and niacinamide to refresh and smooth the look of the under-eye area.

Who it's for

  • Dull or tired under-eyes needing quick hydration and brightening.
  • Makeup wearers seeking a smoother canvas before concealer.
  • Users who want vitamin C derivative, peptides, and niacinamide in an easy patch format.

Key ingredients (INCI)

  • Vitamin C derivative — cosmetic brightening support for a more radiant look.
  • Peptides — help the skin appear firm and smooth.
  • Niacinamide — supports even tone appearance and barrier strength.
  • Humectants (hyaluronic acid, glycerin) — draw moisture for a plumped feel.
  • Soothing extracts — comfort delicate under-eye skin.

Free-from / texture

  • Hydrogel texture with a cooling, serum-infused feel.
  • Typically low fragrance; review INCI for sensitivities.
  • Non-greasy finish; leaves skin prepped for eye cream or makeup.

How to use & order

  • Use on clean, toned skin. Apply patches to under-eye area for 10–20 minutes.
  • Remove and tap in remaining essence; follow with eye cream or moisturizer.
  • Use in the morning for brightening before makeup or at night for added hydration.

Conflicts & layering tips

  • Generally compatible; if using retinoids or strong acids around the eyes, separate routines or alternate nights.
  • Store patches flat and avoid double-dipping the spatula for hygiene.
  • Patch test if you have very sensitive or eczema-prone eye areas.

Evidence & notes

  • Vitamin C derivatives, peptides, and niacinamide are cosmetic; brightening and smoothing effects are cosmetic in nature.
  • Humectants provide plumping when sealed with moisturizer; avoid leaving excess residue under heavy makeup.
  • Cooling sensation can be enhanced by storing patches in the fridge (avoid freezing).

Safety

  • For external use only; discontinue if irritation occurs.
  • Avoid direct contact with eyes; rinse if essence gets into eyes.
  • Do not apply on broken or compromised skin; consult a professional if post-procedure.
  • Pregnancy/breastfeeding: cosmetic ingredients; defer to your physician for personal guidance.
