Under-Eye Patches Are The Grooming Shortcut You’re Sleeping On

We don't know who needs to hear it but unlike that acquaintance who swears the bags under his eyes are Gucci, dark, raccoon-like circles and puffiness need to peace out. We’ve all had those mornings when the memories of a late game or one too many drinks are sitting right there under your eyes. As fun as it might’ve been the night before, nothing hits quite like catching your reflection and realising you look completely wiped.

Sure, you could reach for an eye cream (and honestly, respect if you even own one). But allow us to introduce you to something that works faster and hits harder: under-eye masks.

These low-effort patches are designed to quickly and effectively infuse your skin with ingredients that actually make a difference. We’re talking hyaluronic acid to hydrate and plump, antioxidants and caffeine to help tackle dark circles and puffiness—and in some formulas, even ingredients that smooth the look of fine lines and wrinkles. Slap them on, leave them for a few minutes, and voilà—your eyes look fresher, tighter, and way more awake.

Under-eye masks are the ultimate grooming shortcut. Just stick, chill (bonus points if they’ve been in the fridge), and let them do the heavy lifting. Many of the under eye masks are single use and come handy when we need a quick refresh with no care in the world to carry it with you. The best undereye masks are supercharged, patch-sized doses of your favorite skin-care actives that tackle puffiness, dryness, dark circles, and fine lines in record time—but, like with all skin care, show the best results when used consistently. So, going forward with those reusable ones would do wonders to your eyes and the environment as well.
