Under eye masks are great and all, but the fact that most of them can only be used once doesn’t bode well for the environment or our wallets, which is why reusable under eye patches are so damn great.
Paired with eye treatments, serums and creams they help to enhance product absorption and moisture retention. Pop them in the fridge and they turn into an instant cooling treatment that can be used to soothe and depuff tired eyes. They can also smooth fine lines and minimise the appearance of dark circles when used regularly. Best of all, they can be washed and reused multiple times.

Have you tried reusable under eye patches before?
I must use some more eye patches
Such a great idea and a sustainable alternative too.
Manicare Face Soothing Eye Gels at $6.49 are pretty good value. And they look so soothing
I’ve got those Manicare ones. They’re great if left in the fridge, but don’t freeze!
Ooh which ones to try first
I must admit I’ve never tried under eye patches before.
That is much better for the environment
Ooh yes. I have some from Real Techniques but they are not effective.
I know I should use eye patches more often.
I’ve not tried under eye patches. Maybe I should.
I really like the concept of reusable eye patches, i am yet to invest in some.
I love reusable products. I own the Manicare ones, but the silicone ones look interesting.
Under eye patches don’t seem to stay on me
I would love to try these.
