What it is

Hydrogel eye patch treatment that delivers cooling moisture and caffeine-assisted depuffing, with peptides and niacinamide for a smoother, brighter look.

Who it's for

  • Tired or puffy under-eyes needing quick cooling hydration.
  • Makeup wearers seeking a smoother canvas before concealer.
  • Users who want caffeine, peptides, and niacinamide in an easy patch format.

Key ingredients (INCI)

  • Caffeine — cosmetic ingredient to temporarily improve the look of puffiness.
  • 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 depuffing or at night for added hydration.

Conflicts & layering tips

  • Generally compatible; if using retinoids or acids around the eyes, separate routines or apply on 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

  • Caffeine and peptides are cosmetic; depuffing and smoothing effects are temporary and cosmetic in nature.
  • Humectants provide plumping when sealed with moisturizer; avoid leaving 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.
