At-a-Glance (30s) (who it's for, what to expect)
Dealing with tired, puffy under-eyes from long days, screen time, or short nights can be frustrating. These cooling hydrogel patches offer a quick, soothing ritual to refresh and hydrate the delicate eye area.
- What it is: A tub of 60 jelly-like patches (30 pairs) soaked in a serum containing Snail Secretion Filtrate and Gold.
- Who it's for: Suitable for all skin types, especially those concerned with morning puffiness, dehydration lines, and tired-looking eyes.
- What to expect: An immediate cooling and soothing sensation. With consistent use, the under-eye area appears more hydrated, plump, and refreshed. Effects on puffiness are most noticeable shortly after use.
Quick Start (60-second routine) (essentials for beginners)
- Cleanse: Start with a clean face.
- Apply Patches: Use the included spatula to place one patch under each eye. Leave on for 15-20 minutes while you relax or get ready.
- Protect: Remove patches, gently pat in the remaining serum, and follow with your daily Sunscreen (AM) or Moisturiser (PM).
Note: Already own an eye cream? You can use these patches as a weekly treatment boost instead of a daily step. Substitute, donβt stack, to avoid waste.
AM Routine Guide (morning order) (how to use in the morning)
Using these in the morning is excellent for depuffing and creating a smooth base for makeup.
- Minimalist Routine: 1) Cleanser β 2) [THIS PRODUCT] (15-20 mins) β 3) Tap in essence, then apply Sunscreen SPF 30+.
- Optional Additions: If your skin is very dry, apply a light, hydrating toner before the patches. If your sunscreen isn't moisturising enough, you can add a small amount of eye cream or face moisturiser after the patch essence has absorbed and before SPF.
- Wait times: After removing patches and patting in the serum, wait 1-2 minutes before applying sunscreen or makeup to prevent pilling.
PM Routine Guide (evening order) (recommended for starting)
A relaxing way to soothe tired eyes at the end of the day.
- Minimalist Routine: 1) Cleanser (double-cleanse if wearing makeup/sunscreen) β 2) [THIS PRODUCT] (15-20 mins) β 3) Tap in essence, then apply Moisturiser.
- Optional Additions: You can apply your usual hydrating serums before the eye patches. After removing the patches, seal everything in with your favorite facial cream.
- Texture rule: Apply after watery toners and serums, but before thick creams.
How to Use (Beginner-friendly) (amount, frequency, and tips)
- Amount: One patch for each under-eye area.
- Apply to: The clean, dry orbital bone area under your eyes. The patches are versatile and can also be applied to smile lines or forehead frown lines.
- Method: Use the small spatula provided to hygienically lift a patch. Place the wider end towards the outer corner of your eye and the narrower end towards your nose (or vice versa, depending on your eye shape). Gently press to ensure it adheres.
- Duration: Leave on for 15β20 minutes. Do not let them dry out completely on your skin.
- Frequency: Can be used daily, or 2-3 times a week as a special treatment when your eyes feel tired or puffy.
If-This / Then-That:
- Extra Puffy Morning? Store the tub in the refrigerator for an enhanced cooling and depuffing effect.
- Patches Slipping? This usually happens if there's too much essence. You can gently wipe a tiny bit of the essence off the patch back into the jar before applying, or lie down for the first 5 minutes until they adhere better.
- Under Makeup? These create a beautifully hydrated canvas. After removing, wait 1-2 minutes for the serum to fully absorb. This helps concealer glide on smoothly without creasing or pilling.
- Milia-Prone? While these are lightweight, avoid using them overnight. Stick to the recommended 20-minute wear time to prevent prolonged occlusion.
Safety: For external use only. Avoid placing on broken or irritated skin. Discontinue use if a burning rash occurs. Keep out of reach of children.
What to Expect (Results Timeline) (immediate β 8+ weeks)
- Immediately: A cooling, refreshing sensation. The under-eye area feels instantly hydrated and soothed. Puffiness is visibly reduced for several hours after use.
- 2β4 Weeks: With consistent use (e.g., 3 times per week), the delicate under-eye skin appears plumper and more consistently hydrated. Fine dehydration lines look less noticeable.
- 4β8+ Weeks: The cumulative benefits of hydration and soothing ingredients may contribute to a brighter, less fatigued appearance. Long-term effects on dark circles and deeper wrinkles are generally mild; these patches excel at hydration and depuffing.
Myth Replacement (Why this, not that) (safer, effective alternatives)
Why use these hydrogel patches, not just cucumber slices?
While cucumber slices provide a temporary cooling effect from their water content and temperature, they don't contain targeted ingredients. These hydrogel patches are made of a material that holds a concentrated serum of snail mucin, gold, and botanical extracts. The hydrogel delivers these beneficial ingredients to your skin efficiently over 20 minutes, offering deeper hydration and targeted soothing that goes beyond simple cooling.
Compatibility Guide (layering) (what to pair it with)
- Works Well With: Hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, panthenol, and most hydrating serums. Apply these before the patches. Also pairs perfectly with gentle cleansers and your favorite daily moisturiser and sunscreen.
- Use Carefully With: If you use strong retinoids or exfoliating acids around the eyes, use these patches on alternate nights to avoid potential irritation. Apply the patches first to hydrate and soothe, then follow with your active eye cream after the essence has absorbed.
- Avoid On: Do not apply on broken, weeping, or freshly irritated skin. Avoid placing directly on the mobile eyelid or too close to the lash line.
Skin Type Compatibility (best fits and cautions)
- Oily / Combination Skin: Excellent. Provides lightweight, oil-free hydration and a cooling feel that's refreshing in humid weather.
- Dry / Dehydrated Skin: Very good. Delivers a concentrated boost of hydration to plump up dry, tight under-eye skin and soften fine lines.
- Sensitive Skin: Generally suitable, but a patch test is recommended. Some users report a mild, temporary tingling sensation. The formula contains fragrance and alcohol.
- Mature Skin: Good for providing hydration that can temporarily plump the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Targeted Concerns (what it helps to solve)
- Puffiness and under-eye bags (especially in the morning)
- Dehydration and dryness in the eye contour
- Tired-looking, fatigued eyes
- Fine lines caused by dryness
- Preparing skin for smooth concealer application

Complete Ingredient Transparency (key actives + full INCI)
Key Actives Explained:
- Snail Secretion Filtrate (1%): A celebrated K-beauty ingredient packed with glycoproteins, hyaluronic acid, and glycolic acid. It's known for its ability to hydrate, soothe inflammation, and support skin repair, which can help improve skin texture and the appearance of fine lines. (Ingredient Rationale)
- Gold (0.0001%): While present in a very small amount, gold is included for its perceived anti-inflammatory and circulation-boosting properties, which may help reduce redness and impart a subtle radiance. (Ingredient Rationale)
- Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea) Leaf Extract: A powerful antioxidant that helps protect the skin from environmental damage, soothes irritation, and can help control sebum. (Ingredient Rationale)
- Artemisia Princeps (Mugwort) Leaf Extract: A traditional Korean herb renowned for its calming and anti-inflammatory properties, making it excellent for soothing sensitive or irritated skin. (Ingredient Rationale)
- Houttuynia Cordata Extract: Another soothing botanical that helps reduce redness and calm stressed skin, making it beneficial for the delicate eye area. (Ingredient Rationale)
Full INCI List:
Aqua/Water, Glycerin, Calcium Chloride, Butylene Glycol, Ceratonia Siliqua (Carob) Gum, Xanthan Gum, Chondrus Crispus (Carrageenan) Powder, Snail Secretion Filtrate (1%), PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Alcohol, Scutellaria Baicalensis Root Extract, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Houttuynia Cordata Extract, Artemisia Princeps Leaf Extract, Citrus Junos Fruit Extract, 1,2-Hexanediol, Caprylyl Glycol, Ethyl Hexanediol, Synthetic Fluorphlogopite, Tin Oxide, CI 77491 (Iron Oxide), Titanium Dioxide, Gold (0.0001%), Disodium EDTA, Chlorphenesin, Phenoxyethanol, Methylparaben, Fragrance (Parfum), Hexyl Cinnamal, Limonene.
Alcohol Clarifier: This product contains a small amount of simple alcohol (ethanol), which acts as a solvent and penetration enhancer.

- Fragrance Status: Contains added fragrance ("Parfum").
- Scent Profile: A light, pleasant, fresh cosmetic scent. Intensity: 2/5.

Full Safety & Patch Test Protocol (important precautions)
Who should use with caution:
- Individuals with highly sensitive skin or a known allergy to any of the listed ingredients, particularly fragrance components or snail mucin.
- Those prone to milia should ensure they do not use the patches for longer than the recommended time.
Pregnancy & Breastfeeding: There is insufficient published data on the use of all ingredients during pregnancy or breastfeeding. As a precaution, consult with a healthcare provider before use.
Patch Test Protocol: Before first use, test on a small, discreet area of skin, such as behind the ear or on the jawline. You can cut a small piece of a patch for this. Apply and wait 20 minutes. After removing, monitor the area for 24-48 hours. If you experience any burning, itching, or rash, do not use the product on your face.

- Scent: Light, fresh fragrance.
- pH: Not published by the brand.
- Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Compatibility: Contains PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, which may be a potential trigger for some individuals with fungal acne. Individual responses vary.
Troubleshooting Guide (fix common issues) (quick solutions)
-
Issue: The patches keep sliding down my face.
Fix: This is common and usually means there's a lot of essence. Try tilting your head back for the first few minutes after application until they adhere more securely. You can also gently press them after applying to squeeze out a tiny bit of excess liquid. -
Issue: I feel a slight tingling or stinging.
Fix: A mild, temporary tingling can occur for some, but it should not be painful or persistent. If it turns into a burn or causes significant redness, remove the patches immediately and rinse the area with cool water. This could indicate a sensitivity to one of the ingredients. -
Issue: I don't see a permanent change in my dark circles.
Fix: These patches are most effective for temporary depuffing and hydration. Dark circles are complex and often genetic or related to thin skin. While hydration can temporarily improve their appearance, consistent, long-term results typically require targeted ingredients like Vitamin C, Retinal, or Tranexamic Acid in a dedicated eye cream or serum.

Genuine Community Experiences (unbiased, real-user feedback)
Here's what real users are saying (anecdotal, aggregated sentiment):
"I keep these in the fridge and WOWβsuch a game changer in the morning. The cooling effect instantly wakes up my eyes and reduces puffiness like magic. They're super hydrating too..."
- Paraphrased from an iHerb review (2025-08)
"I've been using this for 2 weeks...it reduces puffiness, it SLIGHTLY reduces dark circles, and it moisturizes the skin. The only downside is that it keeps sliding off, it doesn't stay in place."
- Amazon customer review (2024-11)
"I had a slight stinging sensation on the skin around my eyes initially, but it was bearable... my dark circles did lighten slightly when I compared the before/after photos... I'd say this is still pretty useful for a quick fix for mornings after a bad night."
- Reddit, r/AsianBeauty review (2018-05, noting experience is still relevant)

Frequently Asked Questions (your questions, answered)
- Do these patches permanently get rid of dark circles or wrinkles?
- Think of them as a "quick fix" and a long-term hydrator. They are excellent at temporarily reducing puffiness and plumping fine lines caused by dehydration. While consistent hydration can improve skin quality over time, they are not designed to permanently erase genetic dark circles or deep-set wrinkles. For those concerns, consider a dedicated serum with actives like Retinal or Tranexamic Acid.
- Can I reuse the hydrogel patches?
- No, the patches are designed for a single use. After 15-20 minutes, they have delivered most of their serum to your skin and will begin to dry out. Reusing them is unhygienic and ineffective.
- Is snail mucin ethically sourced?
- Reputable K-beauty brands, including Petitfee, source their snail mucin in environments where the snails are not harmed. The snails are typically placed in a dark, quiet mesh area to roam freely, leaving mucin behind which is then collected and purified.
- Can I use these if I have eyelash extensions?
- Yes. Place the patches carefully under your eyes, avoiding direct contact with the lash line where the extensions are bonded. The essence should not interfere with the lash adhesive.
The Final Verdict (At-a-Glance) (summary of pros and cons)
- Best For: Anyone looking for a quick and refreshing treatment to reduce morning puffiness and hydrate the under-eye area.
- Key Benefits: Immediately cools and soothes, visibly reduces puffiness, plumps fine lines from dehydration, and creates a smooth base for makeup.
- Keep in Mind: The effects on dark circles are often temporary. The patches can slide down if there is too much essence. Contains fragrance and is not vegan.
