New York Post Composite We’ve all been there: the coffee hasn’t kicked in yet, overhead lighting is unforgiving, and your reflection in the mirror is screaming for a few more hours of sleep.
While a couple extra hours of sleep isn’t always in the cards, under-eye patches are the next best thing and if they’re not already a staple in your skincare routine, trust us: they will be soon.
It’s a luxurious step in your routine that doesn’t have to break the bank, because many of our favorite brands are currently discounted on Amazon.
Not all under-eye patches are created equal, though, with each brand using a different concoction of ingredients targeting different skin concerns, so we broke each one down by its key ingredients so you can choose which is best for you.
Energize tired eyes with grace & stella’s cult-favorite eye masks. The gold (energizing) masks are formulated with amino acids to boost skin’s overall healthy appearance, hyaluronic acid to lock in moisture, glycerin to give skin a bouncy feel and sea moss to reduce appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
grace & stella also makes eye patches for illuminating (blue), moisturizing (pink), restoring (purple), revitalizing (bronze) and firming (white) skin.
Get one step closer to glass skin with BIODANCE’s purple eye patches made with salmon PDRN for skin recovery and glow, caviar to boost radiance, probiotic exosomes to strengthen skin and caffeine to reduce puffiness.
BIODANCE also makes Collagen Peptide Eye Masks made to firm skin and reduce fine lines.
A personal favorite of mine, Patchology’s “Serve Chilled on Ice” blue eye masks are great, especially when you put them on straight out of the fridge. Its main ingredients include nine different types of peptides to help firm and strengthen the under-eye area, bakuchiol to smooth fine lines and cloudberry oil, which is packed with Vitamin C, to brighten and reduce dark circles.
Enhance your nighttime routine with medicube’s PDRN eye patches, powered by salmon DNA PDRN for smoother, revitalized skin, caffeine to reduce under-eye puffiness, retinol to reduce the appearance of age lines and collagen for firmer-looking skin.
Abib’s collagen eye patches have five main ingredients that work together to address skin concerns including wrinkles, puffy eyes and dark spots. Caffeine targets dark spots, collagen improves skin elasticity, peptides smooth skin, hyaluronic acid hydrates and Jericho rose has anti-aging factors.
If you’ve been wanting to try a PDRN eye mask, Abib makes one of those, too.
Niacinimide, flower complex, pearl extract and retinol combine to brighten and nourish skin while reducing wrinkles in these LOOPS hydrogel eye masks. Use whenever your under-eye appears dark or just needs a refresh, 2-3 times per week.
Revive tired eyes with these Beauty of Joseon under-eye patches, made with ginseng for hydration, retinol to decrease wrinkles, collagen, peptides and bakuchiol to improve elasticity.
These Patchology eye patches have become a go-to for me thanks to their unique design — unlike a lot of other eye patches, these are not slimey and stick without slipping. It’s even formulated with ingredients that are right at home in a birthday cake: marshmallow root extract to revive tired skin, sugarcane extract to hydrate while minimizing fine lines and vanilla fruit extract for antioxidant protection. Plus, the sprinkle pattern adds a bit of whimsy to my daily routines.
Hero Cosmetics’ Mighty Patch is one of the GOATs of skincare to me, and their eye patches definitely live up to the hype, with tri-hyaluronic acid for hydration, niacinimide to energize skin and panthenol + allantonin to moisturize and calm under eyes.
