Gold Gel Eye Patches

Some mornings your eyes wake up before the rest of you is ready. The skin underneath feels tight and dry. These are two cool gel patches and fifteen quiet minutes while the kettle boils.

What it does for you

Each gold-coloured gel patch is soft and wet to the touch. It shapes itself to the curve under your eye and stays put. It feels cool on the skin, more so if you keep the sachets in the fridge. While you wear them, the gel keeps the thin skin under your eyes moist. When you take them off, the skin feels soft and refreshed.

What's in the box

Choose a pack of 10, 20, 30, 40 or 60 sachets. Each sealed sachet holds one pair of patches, one patch for under each eye.

How to use it

Start with a clean, dry face. Open one sachet and peel the patches off the plastic sheet. Place one under each eye, following its curve, a little below your lower lashes. Leave them on for 15 to 20 minutes. Peel them off and gently pat any gel left behind into your skin. There is no need to rinse. Use them two or three times a week, or the morning after a short night.

Is this the one for you

Yes, if you want a small, cool ritual for tired-looking mornings. Perhaps not, if you would rather have one product you use every day. The Eye Cream Pen is made for daily use under the eyes.

Ingredients

Key ingredients named by the manufacturer: collagen, hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, vitamin E, provitamin B5, water. Check the full ingredient list printed on your packaging before first use. The source of the collagen is not stated, so it may not suit you if you avoid animal-derived ingredients.

Before you start

Patch test first: put a small piece of a patch on your inner arm for 20 minutes and wait 24 hours. Do not use them on broken, sunburnt or irritated skin, or near a cut. Keep them below the lower lashes and out of your eyes. If gel gets into your eye, rinse it with clean water. Remove them at once if you feel burning, itching or stinging. Each pair is for one use only, so throw them away afterwards and do not reuse them. Do not use a sachet that is open, torn or past its date. Keep them out of reach of children.
