COSRX ADVANCED SNAIL HYDROGEL EYE PATCH

Values You Can Trust: Halal-Friendly* / Cruelty-Free (Leaping Bunny Certified) / 100% Authentic Guarantee

Self-assessed by Adilsons based on available ingredient data (no ethanol/denat.; no haram animal-derived ingredients detected).

These hydrogel patches deliver a concentrated dose of snail mucin, niacinamide, and peptides to hydrate, soothe, and firm the delicate under-eye area. Specially designed for the Mauritian climate, their cooling gel texture offers immediate relief from puffiness caused by heat and humidity, while their hydrating essence combats dryness from sun exposure and air-conditioning.

Dealing with tired-looking eyes, fine lines, or puffiness can feel frustrating. These patches offer a simple, targeted solution.

• Who it's for: Anyone experiencing puffiness, dehydration, dark circles, or fine lines around the eyes. Suitable for most skin types, including sensitive skin.
• What it does: Instantly cools and depuffs, provides deep hydration, and helps improve the appearance of fine lines and dark circles over time.
• Key Ingredients: Snail Secretion Filtrate (for repair and hydration), Niacinamide (for brightening), Peptides (for firming).
• Texture: Cooling, honey-comb patterned hydrogel patches soaked in a rich, viscous essence.

1. Cleanse: Wash your face with a gentle cleanser.
2. Apply Patches: Use the included spatula to place one patch under each eye. Leave on for 20-30 minutes.
3. Finish: After removing, gently pat the remaining essence into the skin. Follow with your usual Sunscreen (AM) or Moisturiser (PM).

Mindful Tip: Already own an eye cream? You can use these patches 1-2 times a week for an intensive boost, and your cream on other days. Substitute, don't stack unnecessarily.

For a morning depuffing and hydrating treatment:

1. Cleanser: Start with a gentle face wash.
2. Toner (Optional): Apply a hydrating toner to prep the skin.
3. COSRX Eye Patches: Apply under the eyes and leave on for 20 minutes while you get ready.
4. Moisturiser (if needed): Apply a light moisturiser to the rest of your face, avoiding the eye area where the essence is.
5. Sunscreen: Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30+ as your final step.

Tip: Wait 1-2 minutes after patting in the essence before applying sunscreen or makeup to prevent pilling.

For an evening repair and firming treatment:

1. Double Cleanse: Use an oil cleanser to remove sunscreen/makeup, followed by a water-based cleanser.
2. Toner/Essence: Apply your chosen hydrating or treatment toner/essence.
3. COSRX Eye Patches: Apply under the eyes and relax for 20-30 minutes.
4. Serum (Optional): Apply any targeted serums to the rest of your face.
5. Moisturiser: Seal everything in with a nourishing moisturiser.

• Amount: One pair of patches (one for each eye).
• Frequency: Can be used daily, or 2-4 times a week as an intensive treatment.
• Method:
  1. Use the enclosed mini spatula to lift out two patches.
  2. Place one patch under each eye, with the wider end covering the outer corner where fine lines are common.
  3. Leave on for 20-30 minutes. Do not leave on overnight.
  4. Remove the patches and gently pat the remaining essence into the skin until fully absorbed. Do not rinse.

Makeup Tips (No Pilling): After patting in the leftover essence, wait a full 1-2 minutes for it to absorb completely before applying concealer or sunscreen. This creates a smooth, hydrated base and helps prevent makeup from creasing or pilling.

Milia Caution: These patches are rich. If you are prone to milia (small white bumps), start by using them 2-3 times per week rather than daily. Apply only to the orbital bone area, avoiding the mobile eyelid and lash line.

Safety: For external use only. Avoid direct contact with eyes. Discontinue use if a rash or irritation occurs. Keep out of reach of children.

These patches can be used as needed or as part of a regular routine.

• For Daily Use: Use AM or PM after cleansing and toning.
• For a Weekly Boost (Example):
  • Monday (PM): Use patches for hydration.
  • Tuesday (PM): Use your regular eye cream.
  • Wednesday (PM): Use patches for a mid-week depuffing session.
  • Thursday (PM): Regular eye cream.
  • Friday (AM): Use patches before an event to create a smooth, plump base for makeup.
  • Weekend: Use as needed or give your skin a rest.

Using with Actives: If you use a strong retinoid eye cream, it's best to alternate. For example, use the retinoid one night and these hydrating patches the next night to support your skin barrier and reduce potential irritation.

• Immediately: You will notice an instant cooling and soothing sensation. The under-eye area will feel deeply hydrated and look plumper, temporarily reducing the appearance of fine dehydration lines.
• 2-4 Weeks: With consistent use (e.g., 3-4 times a week), you may notice a reduction in morning puffiness and improved skin texture. The skin will feel more supple and resilient.
• 4-8+ Weeks: The brightening effects of Niacinamide may become more visible, helping to lessen the appearance of dark circles. The firming peptides can contribute to a subtle improvement in the look of fine lines and skin elasticity. Results depend on consistency and diligent sun protection.

Myth: "I can just use my regular face moisturiser under my eyes."

Reality (Why a dedicated eye product is better): While you can use face cream around the eyes, the skin there is much thinner and more delicate. Heavy face creams can sometimes be too rich, leading to milia (small white bumps). These eye patches are specifically formulated with a high concentration of actives like snail mucin and peptides in a hydrogel that delivers them effectively to target concerns like puffiness and fine lines, offering a more intensive and targeted treatment than a general moisturiser.

• Works Well With: Hydrating ingredients like Hyaluronic Acid, soothing ingredients like Centella Asiatica, and most antioxidants. Using these after a hydrating toner can boost their effect.
• Use With Caution: If using a high-strength prescription retinoid (like Tretinoin) around the eyes, it's best to alternate nights. Use the retinoid one night and these hydrating patches the next to help soothe and repair the skin, preventing excessive irritation.
• Avoid On: Do not apply to broken, irritated, or eczematous skin.

• Dry / Dehydrated: Excellent. Provides a much-needed boost of hydration and nourishment.
• Mature: Excellent. The peptides and snail mucin help target fine lines and improve elasticity.
• Normal / Combination: Very good. Use as a targeted treatment 2-4 times a week or as needed.
• Oily / Acne-Prone: Good. Use cautiously. The essence is rich; if you are prone to milia, limit use to 1-2 times per week.
• Sensitive: Very good. The formula is free of common irritants and contains soothing snail mucin. However, a patch test is always recommended.

• Puffiness & Under-Eye Bags: The cooling hydrogel provides immediate relief and helps reduce swelling.
• Dehydration & Dryness: Delivers intense, lasting hydration to the thin under-eye skin.
• Fine Lines & Crow's Feet: Snail mucin and peptides help to plump the skin and support elasticity, softening the appearance of lines over time.
• Dark Circles: Niacinamide helps to brighten the skin, reducing the appearance of dark circles caused by pigmentation.
• Tired-Looking Eyes: Revitalizes and refreshes the eye area for a more awake and vibrant look.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding: Snail mucin, niacinamide, and peptides are generally considered safe for topical use during pregnancy and breastfeeding. However, it is always best to consult with your doctor for personalized advice before introducing new products.

Patch Test Protocol:

As this is an eye product, a standard patch test is difficult. Instead, on first use, apply the patch for a shorter duration (10 minutes) on a small area under one eye. Remove and wait 24-48 hours. If no redness, itching, or irritation occurs, you can proceed with the full recommended usage time.

• Texture: The patches are made of a soft, flexible hydrogel with a honeycomb pattern to improve adherence. They are saturated in a slippery, viscous essence.
• Finish: After removal, the skin is left feeling intensely hydrated, plump, and dewy without a greasy or heavy residue.
• pH: Not published by the brand, but COSRX products are typically formulated to be close to the skin's natural pH of ~5.5.
• FA Compatibility: Contains PEG-90M which could potentially be a trigger for those with Malassezia folliculitis ("fungal acne"). However, as it's a wash-off/wipe-off product for a small area, the risk is low. Patch test if you are highly sensitive. Individual responses vary.

• Issue: The patches are slipping down my face.
  • Solution: You might have too much essence on the patch. Gently wipe a small amount of excess essence from the patch back into the jar before applying. Lying down for the first 5-10 minutes can also help them adhere as they warm to your skin.
• Issue: I'm developing small white bumps (milia) under my eyes.
  • Solution: The essence may be too rich for you for daily use. Reduce frequency to 1-3 times per week and ensure you are only applying the patch to the orbital bone area, not too close to the lash line.
• Issue: My skin tingles slightly after application.
  • Solution: Mild tingling can sometimes occur due to the active ingredients. If it's brief and doesn't lead to redness or irritation, it's usually fine. If the sensation is uncomfortable or persists, discontinue use.

• Humid Summers: The cooling gel texture is incredibly refreshing on hot, humid days and provides an instant depuffing effect. Store the jar in the refrigerator for an extra cooling treat.
• Drier Winters & Air-Conditioning: Perfect for combating the dehydrating effects of indoor air-conditioning or the slightly drier winter air. They provide a concentrated burst of hydration that a light eye cream might not offer.
• Sun Exposure: After a day in the Mauritian sun, these patches can help soothe and rehydrate the delicate under-eye skin.

At Adilsons, we guarantee 100% authenticity. All our COSRX products are sourced directly from authorized distributors in South Korea.

The claims for this product are based on the established functions of its key ingredients.

• Snail Secretion Filtrate (Ingredient Rationale): A systematic review of studies on snail mucin noted its effectiveness in improving skin hydration, barrier function, and the appearance of wrinkles. It contains allantoin, glycolic acid, and glycosaminoglycans which support skin repair and moisture retention.
• Niacinamide (Ingredient Rationale): Clinical studies on topical niacinamide have demonstrated its ability to improve skin barrier function, reduce hyperpigmentation, and improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
• Peptides (Ingredient Rationale): Peptides like Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4 have been shown in clinical trials to stimulate collagen production and reduce wrinkle depth, supporting their use in anti-aging formulations.

The Snail Mucin in this product is sourced ethically. COSRX states that the snails are placed over a mesh in a dark, quiet room and left to roam freely, leaving mucin in their trails. No external stress is applied to the snails to force production. This allows for the collection of the mucin without harming the animals.

• Pack Size: 60 patches (30 pairs).
• Duration at 3x/week use: The jar will last approximately 10 weeks.
• Duration at daily use: The jar will last for 30 days.

This product offers an intensive, spa-like treatment at home, making it a cost-effective alternative to single-use foil pack eye masks.

Mindful Consumption Note: If you already have an eye product at home that you are happy with, we encourage you to finish it first before purchasing a new one. Consistent use of one product yields better results than switching frequently.

• Packaging: The 60 patches come in a sturdy plastic jar with a screw-top lid and an inner lid to prevent the essence from drying out. A small plastic spatula is included for hygienic retrieval of the patches.
• Sustainability: The plastic jar is recyclable (check local guidelines in Mauritius). COSRX is moving towards more sustainable packaging, but this specific product is in standard plastic.
• Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. For an enhanced cooling and depuffing effect, you can store the jar in the refrigerator.
• Travel: The jar is secure, but can be bulky. For short trips, you can place a few pairs of patches in a small, clean, sealed container or a small zip-lock bag to save space.

Can I use these patches on my eyelids?
No, these are designed for the under-eye area only. Avoid placing them on your mobile eyelid or too close to the lash line to prevent irritation and milia.

Will these get rid of my hereditary dark circles?
These patches can help with dark circles caused by pigmentation and dehydration, making the area appear brighter. However, dark circles caused by genetics or thinning skin showing blood vessels are very difficult to treat topically. These patches will help improve the overall appearance but may not eliminate them completely.

Can I reuse the patches?
No, the patches are for single use only. Reusing them is unhygienic and ineffective as most of the essence is absorbed during the first use.

How do I store the leftover essence in the jar?
The remaining essence can be used as a serum for your face, neck, or hands. Keep the jar tightly sealed to maintain freshness. You can even use a clean cotton pad to soak up the essence for a targeted treatment on other areas.
