At-a-Glance (the 30-second briefing)
Feeling like your under-eyes look tired no matter how much you sleep? These patches offer a quick, refreshing boost. They are soaked in an essence formulated with green tangerine extract and vitamin C derivatives to help visibly brighten dark areas and smooth the appearance of fine lines over time. The hydrogel material adheres comfortably, delivering a cooling sensation that helps reduce morning puffiness. Think of it as a targeted 5-minute treatment for brighter, more awake-looking eyes.
Quick Start (the 60-second routine)
For an instant refresh, especially on busy mornings:
- Cleanse: Start with a clean, dry face.
- Apply Patches: Use the enclosed spatula to lift one gel patch per eye and apply to the under-eye area. Leave on for 5 minutes.
- Finish: Remove patches and gently pat any remaining essence into the skin. Follow with your sunscreen (AM) or moisturiser (PM).
Mindful Tip: Already using an eye cream? You can use these patches as a targeted boost 2-3 times a week instead of adding a new daily step.
AM Routine Guide (how to use in the morning)
For a brighter start to your day:
- Minimalist Routine (3 Steps): 1) Cleanser → 2) Green Tangerine Vita C Eye Gel Patches (for 5 mins, then remove & pat) → 3) Sunscreen SPF 30+.
- Optional Additions: If you have time, you can apply a hydrating toner before the eye patches. You can also follow with a light moisturiser before your sunscreen if your skin feels dry or your SPF is not hydrating enough.
- Wait Times: After patting in the remaining essence, wait about 1-2 minutes before applying sunscreen or makeup to prevent pilling.
PM Routine Guide (recommended for starting)
To soothe and repair overnight:
- Minimalist Routine (3 Steps): 1) Double Cleanse (if wearing makeup/SPF) → 2) Green Tangerine Vita C Eye Gel Patches (for 5-10 mins, then remove & pat) → 3) Moisturiser.
- Optional Additions: You can layer this after your toner and serum steps. If you use a separate eye cream, apply it after patting in the essence from the patches.
- Texture Rule: Apply patches to clean skin, before heavier creams or oils.
How to Use (beginner-friendly guide)
- Amount: One patch for each under-eye area.
-
Method:
- Open the lid and use the included sanitary spatula to lift out two patches.
- Place one patch under each eye, with the wider end covering the area of most concern (e.g., where dark circles are most prominent).
- Leave on for 5 minutes as recommended by the brand for a quick de-puffing and brightening effect. You can extend to 10-15 minutes if desired. Do not let them dry out on the skin.
- Remove the patches and gently tap the leftover essence into the skin with your ring finger until absorbed. Do not rinse.
- Frequency: Can be used daily, either in the AM to de-puff or PM to soothe. For maintenance, using them 2-3 times a week is also effective.
- Pro Tip for Puffiness: For an enhanced cooling and de-puffing effect, store the container in the refrigerator for about 10-15 minutes before use.
- Safety: For external use only. Avoid placing directly on the mobile eyelid or too close to the lash line. Discontinue use if significant irritation occurs.
Weekly Planner (example & alternating actives)
- For Daily Refreshment: Use AM or PM daily as needed. They are gentle enough for frequent use.
- As a Weekly Boost: Use 2-4 times per week (e.g., Monday, Wednesday, Friday) on days you need extra brightening or de-puffing.
-
Pairing with Actives: These patches are generally compatible with other actives.
- On Retinoid Nights: Use the patches before your retinoid product. Apply patches, remove, pat in essence, wait for it to dry completely, then apply your retinoid, avoiding the immediate under-eye area as per your retinoid's instructions.
- On Exfoliant Nights (AHA/BHA): Similar to retinoids, use the patches first on clean skin for soothing hydration.
- Mauritius Note: Excellent for a cooling treat after sun exposure (on clean skin) or to combat puffiness from the heat and humidity.
What to Expect (a realistic timeline)
- Immediately: Expect a cooling sensation upon application. The under-eye area will feel more hydrated, look less puffy, and appear temporarily brighter and plumper due to the hydration.
- 2-4 Weeks: With consistent use (e.g., 3-4 times per week), you may notice the under-eye area looks more consistently hydrated and slightly brighter.
- 4-8+ Weeks: The cumulative effects of the Vitamin C derivatives and Niacinamide may lead to a more noticeable improvement in the appearance of dark circles and a smoother look to fine lines caused by dryness. Sunscreen is essential to see and maintain these results.
Myth Replacement (why this, not that)
Why use these patches, not DIY lemon juice? Applying raw citrus juice like lemon to the delicate under-eye skin is a major risk. It's highly acidic (low pH), can cause chemical burns, severe irritation, and photosensitivity, which can actually worsen dark spots (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation) when exposed to the sun. These hydrogel patches use stabilized, skin-friendly Vitamin C derivatives in a formula with a balanced pH, designed to deliver brightening benefits without the harm and irritation of DIY methods. (Ingredient Rationale)
Compatibility Guide (layering dos & don'ts)
-
Works Well With:
- Hyaluronic Acid & Snail Mucin: Can be layered before or after for extra hydration.
- Niacinamide: The formula already contains Niacinamide, but it's compatible with other Niacinamide serums.
- Gentle Moisturisers & Sunscreens: Apply your cream or SPF after the patch essence has been fully absorbed.
-
Use With Caution:
- Retinoids & Strong Acids (AHA/BHA): The patches themselves are gentle. However, always be cautious when introducing any new product to a routine with strong actives. Use the patches first, ensure the essence is absorbed, and proceed with your active, avoiding the delicate skin where the patches were applied if you are sensitive.
-
Avoid On:
- Broken, irritated, or eczematous skin.
- Do not apply on the mobile eyelid or allow essence to drip into the eyes.
Skin Type Compatibility (who is this for?)
- All Skin Types: Generally suitable for oily, combination, normal, and dry skin types looking for a targeted eye treatment.
- Dry Skin: Provides a welcome boost of hydration but should be followed with a dedicated eye cream or moisturiser to lock it in.
- Oily Skin: The lightweight, non-greasy essence absorbs well without feeling heavy.
- Sensitive Skin: The formula is designed to be gentle. However, as with any product containing botanical extracts and derivatives, a patch test is always recommended.
Targeted Concerns (what it helps with)
- Dark circles (especially those caused by pigmentation and fatigue)
- Under-eye puffiness and bags
- Dehydration and fine lines around the eyes

Full Safety & Patch Test Protocol (use it right)
- Who Should Use It: Individuals looking to address concerns of dark circles, puffiness, and dehydration around the eyes.
-
Who Should Use With Caution:
- Highly Sensitive Skin: The presence of multiple essential oils could be a trigger for some. A patch test is essential.
- Milia-Prone Skin: The essence is lightweight, but as with any eye product, observe if any new milia form.
- Pregnancy/Breastfeeding: The formula does not contain high-risk ingredients like retinoids. However, there is insufficient published data on the specific blend for this population. We recommend consulting with your doctor before introducing new products during this time.
-
Patch Test Protocol:
- Take one patch and apply it to a small, clean area of skin, such as behind the ear or on the jawline. You can cut a small piece if needed.
- Leave on for 5-10 minutes, then remove.
- Monitor the area for 24-48 hours. If any redness, itching, or burning rash develops, do not use the product on your face.
Sensory & Chemical Profile (the feel & facts)
- Texture: A thin, flexible hydrogel patch that feels slick and saturated with a watery essence. It adheres well to the skin without being overly sticky.
- Finish: After removing the patches and patting in the essence, the skin feels hydrated and refreshed with no greasy or heavy residue.
- Scent: A light, natural citrus aroma from green tangerine and essential oils.
- pH: Not publicly disclosed by the brand, but formulated to be gentle on the skin.
- Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Compatibility: The formula contains Polyglyceryl-10 Laurate, which can potentially be a trigger for some individuals with fungal acne. However, as it's a rinse-off (or remove-off) product with short contact time, the risk is generally considered low. Individual responses vary.
Troubleshooting Guide (quick solutions)
-
Issue: The patches are slipping down my face.
- Fix: This usually means there is too much essence on the patch or your skin is too damp. After cleansing, ensure your skin is fully dry. You can also gently blot the patch on the inner lid before applying to remove excess liquid. Leaning back for the first minute can also help them set in place.
-
Issue: I feel a slight tingling sensation.
- Fix: A very mild, brief tingling can occur due to the active ingredients. However, if it turns into stinging or burning, remove the patches immediately and rinse the area with cool water. Discontinue use.
-
Issue: I don't see results after a few uses.
- Fix: Brightening dark circles is a long-term process. Consistent use over 4-8 weeks combined with daily, diligent sunscreen application is key. Results also depend on the cause of your dark circles (genetics and anatomy vs. pigmentation).
Climate Fit for Mauritius (local advice)
- Humid Summers: Perfect for Mauritian summers. Keep the tub in the fridge for an extra cooling, de-puffing treat that feels incredible in the heat. The lightweight essence absorbs quickly without adding to the feeling of humidity on the skin.
- Drier Winters/AC Exposure: While hydrating, the essence is very light. If you spend long hours in air-conditioning or find your skin is drier in winter, be sure to follow up with a more nourishing eye cream or moisturiser to seal in the hydration provided by the patches.
Authenticity & How to Verify (buy with confidence)
- Our Sourcing: At Adilsons, we source this product directly from the brand or its authorized distributors in South Korea. We guarantee 100% authenticity.
- Packaging Cues: Look for a sealed container, a mix of Korean and English text, and clear batch/expiry date printing. The tub should include a small plastic spatula for hygienic removal of the patches.

Evidence & Sources (the science behind the product)

Is This the Best Choice for You? (mindful alternatives)
These Goodal eye patches are an excellent choice if your primary concerns are brightening the appearance of dark circles and reducing puffiness with a refreshing gel texture.

Why: It contains Retinal, a potent retinoid, alongside peptides and niacinamide for a powerful anti-aging effect in a creamy texture.

Frequently Asked Questions (common queries)
-
Can I use these on my eyelids?
No, these are designed for the under-eye area only. Avoid placing them on your mobile eyelids or too close to your lash line.
-
Will these get rid of my dark circles completely?
These patches can significantly improve the appearance of dark circles caused by pigmentation and fatigue. However, dark circles caused by genetics, allergies, or facial structure (hollowness) may not be fully resolved by topical skincare alone.
-
Can I reuse the patches?
No, the patches are for a single use only. Reusing them is unhygienic and ineffective as the essence will have been absorbed.
-
How do I store the included spatula?
Most users place the clean, dry spatula back on the inner lid after use for easy access next time.
The Final Verdict (at-a-glance)
- Best For: Those concerned with puffiness, fatigue, and pigmented dark circles who enjoy a refreshing, cooling treatment.
- Key Benefits: Visibly brightens the under-eye area, reduces morning puffiness, and provides instant hydration.
- Keep in Mind: Contains essential oils, so a patch test is vital for sensitive skin. Provides light hydration, so may need to be followed by a cream for very dry skin types. Effects on genetic dark circles will be limited.
