How to use: Anti-Ageing Hydrogel Eye Patches | 7 pairs
Fifteen minutes, one patch under each eye, and the hydrogel gradually releases the serum onto the thinnest skin on your face. It's a simple ritual that hydrates, comforts and helps soften the look of fine dehydration lines.
Who it’s for
- Your eye area feels dehydrated or looks tired
- You notice fine lines caused by lack of hydration
- You'd like a more even-looking tone around the eyes
- You have mature, dry or sensitive skin and prefer fragrance-free products
When to use it
Use whenever you need: in the morning, before an event or after a short night. Apply after toner and before your serum and cream.
How to apply it, step by step
- Cleanse your face and eye area (for example with the Micellar Water) and dry your skin well.
- Apply your toner and wait until your skin feels dry to the touch.
- Open an individual pack and place one patch under each eye, with the wider end next to the orbital bone.
- Leave on for about 15 minutes, sitting back and relaxing.
- Remove the patches and gently massage in the remaining serum with the tip of your ring finger, the weakest finger, to avoid tugging. No need to rinse.
- Carry on with your serum and cream. In the morning, always finish with sunscreen.
Get the most out of it
- Keep the box in the fridge: cold hydrogel is more pleasant to apply and the de-puffing effect is more noticeable first thing in the morning.
- If you're putting make-up on afterwards, let the remaining serum absorb fully before applying concealer.
- If your skin is very sensitive, do a patch test on the inside of your forearm first.
Avoid
- Applying to skin that isn't clean and dry.
- Rubbing or pulling at the eye area when you remove the patches: use only the tip of your ring finger, with a light touch.
- Expecting the patches to replace your everyday eye serum and cream. They're an occasional treat, and daily care is what builds results.
Pairs well with
- Anti-Ageing Eye Serum | 15 ml — This is the everyday eye care: the patches are the occasional treat and the serum builds your daily routine.
- Smoothing Eye Cream | 15 ml — After the patches and serum, round off your routine with an eye cream for daily care, morning and night.
- Micellar Cleansing Water | 200 ml — Gently cleanse the eye area before applying the patches, so your skin is clean and ready.
FAQs
Does the gold do anything for the skin?
No. The gold (CI 77480) is in the formula as a pigment, for the golden finish, just like the mica and iron oxides. The work on your skin is done by niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, panthenol and glycerin.
How often can I use them?
There's no set limit: use them daily or save them for the days you need them. Each box contains 7 pairs.
Are they suitable for sensitive skin?
They contain no added fragrance and the INCI declares no fragrance allergens, which makes them suitable for reactive skin. If your skin is very sensitive, do a patch test first.
