The Best Under Eye Masks For Tackling Wrinkles, Puffiness And Dark Circles

The Best Under Eye Masks For Tackling Wrinkles, Puffiness And Dark Circles

The skin surrounding our eye area is 10 times thinner than the rest of our face.

So when you think about it, it's really no surprise the signs of tiredness, fatigue and ageing often show here first.

It's also why eye creams and eye serums cater to this area specifically, to ensure the ingredients are both gentle enough and potent enough to provide long-term results.

As for eye masks, the majority of these are about the instant effect.

Whether it's to plump, smooth or brighten, under-eye masks are ideal for those 'mornings after' (caused by champagne, newborn or both), as a makeup prep-step or weekly treatment.  

So whether it's puffiness, dullness or darkness that's getting you down, you'll find a fast solution for your peepers in our edit of the best.

patchology

Patchology EyeRevive FlashPatch 5 Minute Hydrogels, $24 at mecca.com.au

Best for: De-puffing the eyes

Soaked in caffeine and collagen, these silky-textured gels will instantly soothe tired eyes. Pop a pair in the fridge and keep restocking for S.O.S situations.

Best for: Targeting wrinkles

Designed for use in the morning, these eye masks feature Pure Retinol Micro-Infusion Technology to provide immediate anti-wrinkle benefits. They also work a treat on smile lines, so try popping a pair on each area pre-makeup for smoother foundation application.

chanel

Chanel Le Lift Firming Anti-Wrinkle Flash Eye Revitalizer, $194 at myer.com.au

Best for: Dark circles

Rather than being pre-soaked, Chanel's under-eye mask comes as a separate serum and patch pair. The anti-ageing serum, enriched with a brightening vitamin C complex, is rolled on first, and the patches are then applied on top, to help it penetrate further. 

skyn iceland
