The skin surrounding the eyes is very thin, particularly sensitive (up to four times more sensitive than the other areas of the face), more subject to external attacks, as well as to premature aging and our feared enemies: dark circles. These can occur in different colors- ranging from blue to purple, and brownish – and are caused by a poorly functioning microcirculation combined with the thinness of skin and bags, which are the swelling that can arise under the eyes.
It is, therefore, necessary to often moisturize this area, nourish it as much as possible and use some small help which includes draining active ingredients: for this reason, we made for you a list of the best eye patches for your eye contour.
1. Veralab – Destress Eye Patch

The hydrogel Patches of Veralab (better known as L’Estetista Cinica) are a real emergency and dream treatment: formulated with functional peptides, active ingredients that act specifically against bags, dark circles, and signs of fatigue, cornflower water which is known for its soothing, refreshing and astringent benefits, Phyto-water, with its stimulating and lightening properties perfect for dull skin, hamamelis extract, which is an anti-inflammatory ingredient that stimulates microcirculation, and finally D-Panthenol, the active form of vitamin B5 whose action only takes 15 minutes.
