The Best Under-Eye Patches For Dark Circles, Fine Lines & Puffiness

Whether you’ve spent the day staring at a screen, just gotten off a red-eye, indulged in too many glass of wine and French fries the night before or are just plain exhausted, the first place the effects show up is often around the eyes. The skin around your eyes is five times thinner than the rest of the skin on your face, that’s why signs of aging, like fine lines and wrinkles, occur there first.

Naturally, you want to give this focal point the highest level of attention it deserves. To start, protect the delicate zone from the sun and allergens and always apply an eye cream or serum with specialized ingredients targeting your skin’s needs. Then, step things up a notch with some of the best under-eye masks, which we’ve rounded up below.

Wander Beauty Baggage Claim Eye Masks

With a packed ingredient list that includes aloe leaf (to reduce redness), calendula extract (to soothe), vitamin C-heavy camu camu extract (to brighten) and peptides and amino acids galore (to improve texture and promote an overall healthy appearance), it’s no wonder Wander’s Baggage Claim patches have been an industry and fan favorite since the brand’s launch. Plus, the glam gold or pink foil masks aren’t just a novelty: They retain heat and prevent evaporation so your skin can soak up all the goodness within each pad.

Biologique-Recherche Patchs Défatigants

Accardo loves that Biologique Recherche Patchs Défatigants cover the entire eye—including lower and upper lids—for maximum coverage. They immediately reduce signs of fatigue and puffiness. The formulation includes a blend of caffeine, hyaluronic acid and silk tree extract to de-puff, hydrate, brighten and strengthen skin around the eyes.

Elemis Pro-Collagen Eye Revive Mask

Knock some years off in minutes with Elemis’s Pro-Collagen Hydra-Gel masks. The patches are formulated with skin plumping marine actives and hydrating hyaluronic acid to minimize fine lines and wrinkles. The results include younger and tighter-looking skin around the eye area.
