The solution to tired eyes are in these gooey patches
Updated
If you’ve seen someone on social media or even in your local supermarket walking around with C-shaped stickers under their eyes, you’ve likely been exposed to the latest beauty phenomenon: under-eye patches.
These little stickers are concentrated treatments designed to help alleviate dark under-eye circles, puffiness, fine lines, and dehydration. They are typically available in one of four materials: a gel-like serum (hydrogel) for instant cooling, a ‘second-skin’-like bio-cellulose, a micro-dry plaster, and reusable options where you use your own serum underneath.
Conveniently small, these under-eye patches can be taken anywhere for on-to-go refreshment. Grown Alchemist / Skin Control
