These days, it’s all about the eyes. Appearing awake and refreshed is an increasingly sought-after look as current beauty trends are all about embracing your natural glow. TikTok has been flooded with #grwm videos, showing influencers preparing for the day with an emphasis on hydration and moisture. The biggest takeaway is that skin health is most important, and luckily for us, there are a lot of products out there that can help get the job done.
NuFace—the celeb-loved skincare label most known for its sculpting devices—is helping tackle the #tiredface problem with its first-ever under-eye patches. The brand launched its Ionplex Hydra-Gel Power Patches on August 6, with the promise of brightening, tightening, and hydrating skin.
The patches can be used under the eye or on the lids and is compatible with the fan-favorite NuFace FIX device for extra revitalization. (NuFace launched FIX in 2019 as a microcurrent tool that can be used to reduce wrinkles, fine lines, and smile lines, and to increase circulation around the lips.)
Despite only being a few hours old, shoppers are already hailing the patches as “effective” and “soothing.” The brand suggests chilling the patches in the fridge for “an ultra-cooling skin refresh.”
Details on the ingredients
The patches are packed with magnesium—which reduces inflammation and promotes hydration—as well as amino acid, a powerful anti-aging ingredient. Additionally, the patches feature electrolytes, specifically IonPlex, NuFace’s patented blend of minerals, glacial water, and electrically charged ions.
Details on the packaging
The patches are 100 percent biodegradable and encased in a recycled jar.
How to use
After washing your skin and patting it dry, apply the patches under the eye. Leave on for at least 10 minutes before removing. When taking off the patches, massage the excess product into the skin and proceed with your skincare routine.
How does it feel
The most satisfying thing about under-eye patches is the cool, spa-like feel. The patches are gel-like in texture and go on smoothly.
