Beauty fans looking to brighten tired-looking eyes can pick up a pack of 'awesome' gold under-eye patches for less than £20. The grace and stella Under Eye Gel Patches are available for £19.95 at Amazon, with over 4,000 sold in the past month.
Ingredients and benefits
The gold under-eye patches are infused with ingredients including hyaluronic acid and chondrus crispus powder, with the hydrating formula designed to leave the skin underneath the eyes looking smoother and refreshed. They provide a cooling effect that can help reduce the appearance of puffiness and under-eye bags, which could come in handy with party season on the horizon.
The formula is vegan and free from parabens and sulphates, and the patches are designed to be gentle enough for sensitive skin. According to Amazon, the eye masks have been used by celebrities including Jessica Alba, Leona Lewis, Ayra Starr and Selling Sunset star Emma Hernan.

Another option is the NIP+FAB Hyaluronic Fix Extreme4 Hydration Jelly Eye Patches, which cost £19.95 from Sephora. Promising 20 pairs of eye patches, this product uses hyaluronic acid to provide 'deep-down hydration'.
Boots alternatively has the Pixi DetoxifEYE Depuffing Patches for £22. These contain hyaluronic acid and caffeine, which can smooth and depuff around the eyes, coming with 30 pairs to use.
Shopper reviews
The grace and stella Under Eye Gel Patches have been rated highly by Amazon shoppers. One person said: "These under-eye masks are a great pick-me-up! They feel cool and soothing on application, help reduce puffiness, and make dark circles look less noticeable. After using them, my under-eye area felt hydrated and smoother, perfect for tired mornings or before a night out."
Another added: "Awesome eye masks. I love these eye masks, I always wait for Prime Day and Black Friday so I can get a full box of 20! I have all of them now as my blue ones came this morning and were straight on my face. These blue ones are so much softer than others and squishy."
"I literally do these masks everyday depending on what I need. They slip a little at first but once they bed in I can forget I have them on. Lovely and due to the brand, I know exactly what’s in them so I know it’s kind to eyes."
A third buyer wrote: "Very pleased with this product. It refreshes my eyes and smooths the skin. It is best when kept in the fridge. I would recommend it." Some people disagreed, as one said: "Love the patches, giving four stars only because they do not stay well. Keep sliding off the under eye area, which is annoying, but I like the effects of them." While another deemed them 'hydrating and plumping', they added as part of a longer review: "These are comfortable to wear, although they do have a tendency to slowly slide down your face until some of the serum has been absorbed by the under eye."
