Eye patches are targeted skincare treatments designed to hydrate, soothe, and revitalize the delicate under-eye area. Typically made from hydrogel, bio-cellulose, or other skin-adhering materials, they are infused with concentrated essences that deliver nourishing ingredients directly to the skin. A popular step in Korean skincare, eye patches help reduce the appearance of puffiness, dark circles, dryness, and fine lines while leaving the eye area feeling refreshed and revitalized.

Eye patches are easy to incorporate into your skincare routine and are typically used after cleansing and toning, and before applying eye cream or moisturizer. Simply place a patch under each eye and leave them on for the recommended time, usually 10 to 20 minutes. After removing the patches, gently pat any remaining essence into the skin to maximise absorption. They are perfect for use before special occasions, after a long day, or whenever the eye area needs an extra boost of hydration and care.

Korean eye patches are available in a variety of formulas to suit different skin concerns. Hydrating patches often contain hyaluronic acid, ceramides, and panthenol, while brightening formulas feature niacinamide or vitamin C to help improve the appearance of dark circles. Firming and anti-ageing eye patches are enriched with peptides, collagen, snail mucin, or fermented ingredients to support skin elasticity and smooth the look of fine lines. Many formulas also include soothing ingredients such as centella asiatica, heartleaf, aloe vera, or green tea to calm and comfort sensitive skin.
