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.
