I tried the Essence Hydro Gel Eye Patches Wake-Up Effect Mask 1.0 ks because my eye area was tired and had dark circles. I was attracted by their price (less than one euro) and that they promised an “awakening effect”. When I opened them, I liked the gel texture and the fresh feeling they give when you put them on, especially if you keep them a little in the fridge before using them. For the 10-15 minutes I had them on, they felt comfortable and relaxing, although they tend to slip a bit if you move. When I removed them, I noticed the skin that was more hydrated, softer and looked a little more rested. They don't work miracles, but they do help make your eyes look less tired. For the price they have, I think they work very well: they provide freshness and quick hydration, ideal to use before applying makeup or after a long day. Plus, I like that they're vegan and cruelty-free. In short, a simple but effective product for an express moment of facial care.

Top product: essence hydro gel eye patches

These eye patches reduce tired eyes, puffiness and dark circles and moisturize the skin. Place the (incredibly cute!) fluffy cloud-shaped patches on clean, dry skin and let it soak in for about 5 to 10 minutes. Then remove them and massage in the remaining serum. The formula is free of parabens, oil, alcohol and perfume. Be careful if you have sensitive skin. This is because menthol extract has been added. This does provide that refreshing and invigorating feeling, but can cause irritation. It moisturizes and hydrates and softens and protects. And maintains skin hydration in the stratum corneum. It gives the skin a very soft feel and leaves a thin and elastic protective layer on the skin. Such a mask is lovely! I like to use an eye mask before going to bed in the evening, but I recommend using it in the morning. Especially because it ensures that the tired look disappears. You don't need much time though. Apply the mask when you're doing the rest of your eye makeup and hair, and by the time you're done, the mask will have done its job!
