Reusable Eye Patches - Frequently Asked Questions

What are reusable under eye patches?

Reusable eye patches are eco-friendly skincare accessories designed to enhance the effectiveness of your favourite serums or creams. Made from high-quality silicon, they help lock in moisture and active ingredients, promoting a brighter and smoother under-eye area.

Why are silicone eye patches better?

Silicone is your skin's best friend. It creates an occlusive barrier and has a lifting and smoothening effect, and does not contain ingredients that can cause unpredictable skin reactions.

Silicone eye patches are also cost-effective in the long run and do no generate waste.

How do reusable eye patches work?

Reusable eye patches create a gentle seal over the under-eye area, preventing skincare products from evaporating and allowing active ingredients to penetrate more deeply. By trapping moisture, they help reduce puffiness, dark circles, and fine lines.

Are reusable eye patches better than disposable ones?

Yes, reusable eye patches are more sustainable and cost-effective than disposable options. They reduce waste and can be used repeatedly with your favorite serums, delivering similar (or better) results without harming the planet.
