The delicate under-eye area is the thinnest and most sensitive skin on your face. There’s also a multitude of issues that commonly pop up there. Some of us struggle with dark circles and heavy bags. Others can’t get rid of puffiness, no matter how hard we try. Then, there’s the concern of fine lines and wrinkles. Sometimes they’re all rolled together, and it’s hard to pinpoint exactly what the cause is.
According to Beverly Hills based Board-Certified dermatologist Ava Shamban, there are many factors that contribute to these issues, including one’s complexion type and how prevalent veins appear on the face. She also notes how much sleep a person gets, how healthy their diet is and even genetics play a role in these concerns.
No matter the cause, the best under-eye patches are designed to help. They’ve been around for years, but recently, it seems like every beauty brand has been launching their own take. Each claim to de-puff, brighten and tighten, but how effective are they and are they worth trying?
The good news: Topical products, like under-eye masks, do make a difference.
“They’re designed to best support active ingredients with optimal penetration and absorption for hydration, soothing and brightening,” explains Dr. Shamban.
