Who is it for?

• people with tired-looking eyes and morning puffiness;

• skin with the first fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes;
• anyone who needs quick skin prep before makeup or an important event;
• as a complement to a regular eye cream.

How to use

1. Cleanse the face and apply toner; allow it to absorb.
2. Use the included spatula to take two patches out of the jar – do not use your fingers.
3. Place the patches under the eyes, with the wider part towards the outer corner of the eye, 2–3 mm from the lashes.
4. Leave on for 10–20 minutes.
5. Remove the patches and gently pat in the remaining essence with your ring finger.
6. Continue with eye cream and moisturizer; in the morning, finish with SPF protection.
7. Use as needed, morning or evening – daily or 2–3 times a week.

How to fit it into your routine

Morning: Cleansing, toner, patches for 10–20 minutes (ideally before makeup, against morning puffiness), eye cream, moisturizer and SPF.

Evening: Cleansing, toner, patches for 10–20 minutes, patting in the essence and eye cream. If you also use a strong retinoid eye serum, apply the patches before it or on other evenings.

Important notes

• for external use only; do not apply to the eyelids or right next to the lashes;
• in case of contact with the eyes, rinse with lukewarm water;
• the formula contains retinol in a low concentration – during pregnancy and breastfeeding, consult a doctor or pharmacist before use;
• a patch test on a small area of skin (e.g. behind the ear) is recommended before first use;
• do not leave the patches on for longer than 20 minutes and do not sleep with them;
• always take patches out with the spatula and close the jar tightly after use so the essence does not dry out;
• keep out of reach of children, at room temperature or in the fridge, protected from direct sunlight.

Pharmacist's advice

For the strongest effect against morning puffiness, keep the jar in the fridge. Cold hydrogel combined with caffeine feels refreshing and helps the under-eye area "settle" faster, especially after short sleep or long hours in front of a screen.

Keep expectations realistic: the patches refresh and hydrate and visibly reduce puffiness and a tired look, but dark circles that are hereditary or caused by thin skin and visible blood vessels will not disappear. For those, regular eye cream care and daily SPF protection are important.

The patches are excellent before makeup – after 15 minutes the skin is hydrated, and concealer spreads more easily and does not crease in fine lines. Wait 2–3 minutes for the essence to fully absorb before applying concealer.
