Eye patches are special cosmetic adhesives that are designed to be applied to the thin skin under the lower eyelid.
Thanks to the content of a special serum, they provide a quick and noticeable result: they moisturize the skin, smooth out wrinkles, reduce puffiness and brighten the area around the eyes.
How to choose effective patches
To avoid disappointment after purchasing patches, take a few minutes to study the composition of the cosmetic product.
Pay attention to the ingredients that help achieve the desired result from using patches.
If you want to lighten your skin
Look for patches that list niacinamide, arbutin, kojic acid, or tranexamic acid among the ingredients. A product with licorice extract will also work.
For moisturizing and wrinkle removal
In this case, it is worth looking for patches that contain hyaluronic acid, peptides, marine collagen, vitamins C and E. Plant extracts will also be beneficial.
To reduce puffiness and dark circles under the eyes
Patches with caffeine and niacinamide have this effect. The composition may also contain hexapeptide-5. Patches with moisturizing ingredients are not for you: they can lead to increased swelling.
For reference
Cosmetics is the study of means and methods for improving a person’s appearance.
