Infused with caffeine, hyaluronic acid and aloe vera, they help stimulate circulation, reduce swelling (a.k.a. puffiness), and give the under-eye area an energized, refreshed appearance.

The formula also includes niacinamide, which can reduce the appearance of dark circles by soothing inflammation and stimulating collagen production. Beyond the hardworking formula inside, each jar also comes with two patches of different sizes, allowing for more targeted treatment options.

Who It's For: They’re particularly beneficial for fending off signs of aging, dark circles, and decreasing puffiness, and are gentle enough for most skin types.

Mariya, tester with normal to dry skin: “I'm used to more standard teardrop-shaped patches, but I liked that these felt more targeted; the smaller area for tighter concentration, or the larger size for more overall hydration.”

Why We Love It: While you can wear most under-eye patches during the day, Patchology formulated these gels for nighttime use when retinol, its star ingredient, works best. The powerful active speeds up cellular turnover, helping reduce fine lines while minimizing dark circles' appearance. Along with retinol, the brand infuses this fast-acting infused with nourishing peptides and arnica extract to reduce inflammation and puffiness. Equally important, the formula leaves out potentially harmful sulfates and phthalates.

Why We Love It: This luxury skin care treatment targets fine lines, puffiness, and dark circles with a delightful, cooling sensation. The formula includes a blend of antioxidant-rich marine extracts that promote collagen production and boost skin elasticity. Meanwhile, hyaluronic acid nourishes and plumps out the skin.

Ali, tester with combination skin: “It helped with dryness around my eyebrows (I found that using this on my entire eye area worked the best). If you are hesitant about the price of this product, it's really high quality and will last you a very long time.”

Why We Love It: Two hero ingredients, energizing ginseng, and vitamin C, target fine lines caused by pollution, UV light, and loss of elasticity as we age. The lightweight hydrogel masks also have a skin-cooling effect to reduce inflammation further. While the slippery texture means you’ll have to sit still during application, the masks have a hefty dose of serum that eliminates our tester’s need for an additional eye cream.

Kristin, tester with combination skin and fine lines: “I definitely noticed improvements in my under-eyes. It really brightened them where they were previously dull and helped get rid of a bit of a sunk-in look and dark circles."

Why We Love It: Peter Thomas Roth eye masks are an editor favorite, and these hydrating masks are at the top of the list. Packed with hyaluronic acid, these gel patches deliver a deeply quenching dose of moisture to the under-eye area—which is particularly prone to dryness because of its thin composition. Infused with skin-strengthening ceramides and calming marshmallow root extract, they provide long-lasting hydration while also reducing the appearance of fine lines and puffiness.

Who It's For: The hydra-gel eye patches are slightly bigger than most options, making them a great option for those wanting to soothe larger areas of their skin at once.

Key Ingredients: Hyaluronic acid, marshmallow root extract | Benefits: Hydrates, soothes | Count: 30 pairs
