The Best Under-Eye Masks & Patches

When it comes to skincare, we can apply all the toners, serums, and moisturisers in the world, but if you’re missing the eyes, then you’re missing a crucial part. The skin around the eyes is the most delicate area of the face, so it’s about time we started giving it the TLC that it deserves. Our favourite way to do this? Under-eye masks and patches. If you ask me, there are few better feelings than a cooling, soothing eye mask at the end of a long day. We’ve got together our favourites so that you can try some out for yourself. PSA – store them in the fridge for an extra cooling effect.

When it comes to eye masks, you just can’t beat Peter Thomas Roth’s offering. Our faves are the Water Drench Hyaluronic Hydra-Gel Patches, a handy tub of cooling gel patches that instantly hydrate and revitalise the eye area. Enriched with caffeine to de-puff, hyaluronic acid to hydrate, and collagen and marshmallow root extract to smooth and plump, each mask instantly reduces the appearance of fine lines, dark circles, and late nights. Plus, each tub contains 30 pairs of eye patches, so will last for ages.

There’s a reason why Elemis is one of the most iconic skincare brands and this eye mask shows exactly why they are. This thick, ultra-hydrating eye cream has been developed to be left on overnight, so that you wake up with fresh, revitalised eyes. Enriched with hydration hero hyaluronic acid, this formula helps to reduce wrinkles, dry skin, and dark circles. What’s even better is that this formula is multi-use, so use as an overnight intensive treatment, as a hydrating primer, or as an extra hit of nourishment during the colder months.

Is there anything that Yes To can’t do? They’ve brought us some of our favourite formulas and this two-step eye set is no exception. Featuring a pair of soothing eye masks and an after-care cream, this kit is the perfect addition to your Sunday night self-care routine. The cooling, recyclable paper eye masks are enriched with cucumber, caffeine, and evodia fruit, which all help to calm the skin and get rid of any excess eye baggage. Follow with the eye treatment cream to banish dark circles for good.

These holographic eye patches are worthy of a selfie. Enriched with vitamin c and chamomile to brighten and calm, the Oh K! Chok Chok Smoothing Under Eye Masks help to brighten and even the skin tone around the eyes, helping you to look less tired even if you didn’t get your full eight hours! The results? Soft, healthy, happy skin.

Green tea isn’t just for drinking, it also has a purifying effect on our skin. The TonyMoly I’m Green Tea Eye Mask harnesses the powers of green tea to help give you de-puff and de-stress the skin around the eyes. Each essence-enriched eye patch smooths onto the skin to give a brightening and refreshing hit, working to revitalise the under-eyes in minutes.

We don’t think we have seen anything cuter than these whale-shaped under-eye patches from florence by mills. These vegan, cruelty-free, and paraben-free gel patches are the ultimate way to add fun into your skincare routine. Enriched with coconut extract, hyaluronic acid, and pine extract to soothe, brighten, and de-puff, each patch will put your sleepy eyes straight to bed.

If you don’t know about Spacemasks, then you need to get to know. Perhaps the opposite to all our other suggestions, these handy, single-use eye masks work by gently heating the eyes to help relieve tension, calm the eyes, and soothe the mind, getting you ready for your best night’s sleep yet.
