Your under-eye area is often the first to reveal a sleepless night. Whether it’s dehydration, seasonal allergies or too many happy hour vinos, the thin and delicate skin around your eyes can often be the hardest area to treat. This is why we’re big advocates for treating your crow’s feet, dark circles or puffiness to regular nourishing eye masks.
However, to ensure you’re spending your time and money effectively, we’ve compiled a roundup of the under-eye patches that will do some serious heavy-lifting, leaving you bright-eyed, de-puffed and glowing in all of 15 minutes.
The best under eye masks…

Do you use eye masks? Which of these do you like the sound of the most?
I have never tried any of them.
I’m 35 and derma lmd eye serum is the only under-eye serum that really helps. Its amazing!! I have dark circles since childhood, which I hate & I don’t use foundation or any concealers, so I found this product very useful & compliments my under eye skin very well!!
i love the retinol skin republic ones
I have’nt tried them, but I do want to
I haven’t tried any of these products; I use the Estee Lauder ANR eye cream, so I’d like to try the Recovery Eye Mask as well 🙂
I love Estee Lauder but out of my price range.
I haven’t tried any of these brands. Would like to try the Simple eye mask from Priceline.
I haven’t tried an under eye mask. I usually use a full sheet mask to get the whole treatment all at the same time.
yes I love a face mask and hopefully that does the trick around the eyes too
I need some under eye masks asap.
I used one the day before my daughters wedding which was just two days ago. Her honeymoon destination would also cure a lot of tired eye issues – Fiji.
Hope the wedding went well.
HAve 2 of these, must use them up!
I need to try some of these to help with the jet lag!
I have never tried any of them, but I do like the Mecca Brand ones
I have never tried an eye mask but would love to try Skin Republic one if I could afford it.
I think i need to try a few of these! My eyes are starting to feel the age kick in.
I need a truckload of these.
Not tried under eye masks before. Not sure if they work but happy to give them a shot
I would love to try them out, anything to reduce my puffiness and dark circles
I’ve tried skin republic, easy to use, good results, and good for the budget
That is good to know.
I really would love to try out an eye mask.
I buy them occasionally but not often
Ive tried most and I like the Simple and Skin Republic ones, more budget friendly. I hope to some day get a 111skin eye mask as a sample in my Mecca orders
I do use eye masks and lovely ones here to try.
I love Estée Lauder’s ANR recovery masks. Your eye’s definitely look and feel better. Worth the splurge
I’ve used a few of these with good results. I have several packs of eye masks in my stash so I should really use them.
I must use eye masks more
