Reviewers swear by them

After a long week, there's nothing better than sipping a glass of wine, binging your fave show, and slapping on some undereye gel patches. It's no secret that there's a certain self-care ~vibe~ that comes with wearing eye patches, but it turns out that they’re actually super beneficial for your skin, too.

Not only is the skin under your eyes thinner and more delicate than in other areas of your face, it's also where lymphatic fluid drainage occurs, says dermatologist Dr. Lauren Penzi, MD. It can also show more blood vessels, and in turn, make dark circles appear more visible, dermatologist Dr. Marisa Garshick, MD, notes. "Skin under the eyes is prone to changes related to aging skin, such as fine lines, wrinkles, and conditions like dryness and discoloration," dermatologist Dr. Brendan Camp, MD, adds.Peep a few of the best undereye gel patches, below:

Undereye gel patches have the power to address multiple skin concerns depending on the ingredients, some of which are typically hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, niacinamide, and caffeine. "Eye patches incorporate key ingredients like hyaluronic acid to boost moisture, peptides to firm, ceramides to strengthen the skin barrier, caffeine to help reduce puffiness, and niacinamide to reduce discoloration," Dr. Garshick adds.

So, you’ll want to zero in on the reason you’re buying patches, says Dr. Camp. "For example, if you are concerned about puffiness, you may be looking for a product that you can use in the morning before starting your day. In that case, look for ingredients like caffeine or green tea."

Ahead, check out the 20 best undereye gel patches in 2022 for every skin concern, according to rave reviews.

I would be remiss if I didn't mention my personal fave patches from Patchology. These contain hyaluronic acid (hi, hydrated, plump skin) and feel super cool under your eyes to smoothen that area out. Don't believe me? Check out this review.

Rave Review: "I recently used these on a long flight between the West Coast and the East Coast and my undereyes have never looked better! I typically have dark circles that linger and look awful after a flight, and these incredible patches cured them right up! I also have sensitive skin and was thrilled to find out these didn't disturb me. Cannot wait to use them all up and buy more!"

ICYMI, Wander Beauty basically started the undereye mask trend. These OGs are made with peptides, amino acids, and hyaluronic acid to improve your skin's texture, skin tone, and hydration. They're also expert-approved by Dr. Garshick.

Rave Review: "If you ever see these, grab them. I always put a pair on while I do my hair. By the time I get to my makeup, my undereyes look refreshed and bright. They're absolutely the best undereye patches ever."

These hyaluronic acid and caffeine-infused patches are all ya need if you want hydrated, de-puffed skin. They're also made with plant-based ingredients, and reviewers love how soft their skin feels afterward.

Rave Review: "I don't have dark circles, but I do have undereye bags/puffiness. This has been the only product that I have ever used (I am 56) that has made a noticeable difference in the puffiness. I put the pads on and rest for about 20 to 30 minutes. I think you could wear them longer...but 20 to 30 is all that I've needed. I have used them in the morning and before sleeping. They're absolutely effective for me."

This brand isn't named after Iceland for nothing. They're cool—literally. Made with soothing antioxidant ingredients, these patches are perfect for treating stressed, tired, or dull skin.

Rave Review: "Every so often I wake up with extremely puffy eyes and dark circles. I apply the Skyn eye pads, wait 15 minutes or so, and their cooling magic makes me look normal again. Great product!!!!"

Like Dr. Camp said, green tea is a great ingredient to look out for if you want to start your day with gel eye masks. People love these Lorelis Lab ones because they help make the undereye area look more awake and refreshed while reducing puffiness. They're great for sensitive skin, too.

Rave Review: "I liked that these were the exact same product as described, and when I apply them to my areas of concern, I can see a difference in minutes. I saw that it was recommended to put these in the refrigerator to feel a soothing sensation, and I’m glad I did this because they do feel more relaxed. Thank you so much!"

These vitamin C-packed eye patches are perfect for helping brighten up the undereye area while reducing signs of aging and puffiness with the caffeine added. Yeah, they're a little pricier, but reviewers say they're totally worth it if you have the budget.

Rave Review: "Love this product. I use them just about every night. You wake up the next morning, and they make your skin look flawless and silky smooth. I highly recommend any of Peter Thomas Roth's collection of skin care—highly recommend. Yes, it is a little expensive, but it is worth it. A little goes a long way, but I highly recommend any of the brand's products. I absolutely love all their skin care."

These super affordable patches are loved by hundreds of five-star reviewers, and you get a whole 30 pairs for under $10. People love that they actually hydrate and de-puff skin without irritating it.

Rave Review: "These are AMAZING!!! I have super sensitive skin and can't use most products on my eyes, but these...oh dear god...they're life changers! I've been using them right after work while I relax in a tub and even though it's only been two days, the puffiness under my eyes has significantly decreased! These are definitely a staple in my house from now on! LOVE them!!"

Reviewers are obsessed with these eye masks from Live Tinted. They contain copper peptides and banana extract to decrease puffiness while smoothing out fine lines. The sun-shaped beauties will look great on your Insta stories, too.

Rave Review: "I absolutely LOVE this product! It leaves this amazing subtle glow once used. I’ve never seen anything like it! Combined with the fact that it's biodegradable, they're so cool! It's the perfect way to get a quick pick-me-up on any day! Thank you for creating this!!"

This mask has activated charcoal that Blaq says draws away bacteria and toxins before the hyaluronic acid takes over to moisturize the undereye area. Reviewers love these masks for reducing inflammation.

Rave Review: "I’ve used several undereye masks, and at the age of 45, I need them. These are hands-down the best that I’ve used, and I’ve tried much more expensive ones. They stay put on my face, feel great, and are a fantastic value!"

These undereye masks are basically experts at reducing dark circles, puffiness, and fine lines, and you can thank the hyaluronic acid in it for that. Reviewers rave about how quickly they brighten the skin.

Rave Review: "Adore these eye masks, not only for moisturizing and rejuvenating. Since they are thicker than most eye masks, they tend to hold coolness and also act as cooling masks for puffiness. Love."

These patches made with a botanical blend of ingredients are a huge hit for treating puffy eyes. They're meant to brighten dark circles and smooth wrinkles, too.

Rave Review: "These are so soothing, and they actually do de-puff your eyes. Highly recommend. I keep them in the refrigerator."

Reviewers love how well these stay on your face. With hyaluronic acid and niacinamide, INC.redible's sensitive skin-friendly patches help soothe the undereye area in addition while hydrating the skin.

Rave Review: "I highly recommend these, they are amazing! They stick to your face perfectly, don't fall off, and don't burn. I love them. They are the most perfect undereye product I’ve ever used and experienced. I’m so excited that they are sparkly but they are also perfect for my skin."

You get a lot of bang for your buck with these patches—packed with vitamins A and C in addition to hyaluronic acid and collagen, they feel super refreshing according to reviewers. People swear they genuinely help make eyes less puffy after a long night.

Rave Review: "I am a mature man, and have been looking for a product to keep me looking young(er) and fresh. After trying various products, I stumbled on these undereye patches and they're amazing. They really work just like the product description says. Sometimes I use them after a night of partying with friends and I look fresh and rested. I don't know whether they'll work for you as well as they worked for me, but they're so cheap, you should give them a try. Tip: On the directions it says to not leave them on for more than 20 minutes. I didn't read that until after I tried them and ended up leaving them on for two hours. They're great!"

If you recognize these, it's probably because you've seen them on your Instagram or TikTok feed, and guess what? They're totally worth the hype. Good Molecules' aptly-named caffeine eye patches don't lie—as Dr. Camp mentioned, the caffeine really will energize and de-puff your undereye area.

Rave Review: "Okay, I saw somebody using these on TikTok and she raved about them. I was a little reluctant because of the price but let me tell you, they are absolutely great. I put these under my eyes about three nights a week and my undereye area has improved significantly."

Like the name suggests, these patches are meant to soothe puffy eyes. Infused with caffeine, niacinamide, and hyaluronic acid, dozens of reviewers say they've reduced puffiness and dark circles.

Rave Review: "I love these eye patches! They are so great to have when I've had a sleepless night. They help me look wide awake and ready for the day! I love how easy they are to apply and I will purchase more so I always have them available!"

These highly-rated eye patches are made for sensitive skin, and they really do help improve puffiness, reviewers say. They're also meant to smooth out fine lines and brighten dark circles while soothing easily-irritated skin.

Rave Review: "I have sensitive skin and this product didn't aggravate my skin at all. My eye bags are hereditary and are very noticeable after a bad night's sleep or too much caffeine. I've tried lots and lots of different eye creams, patches, and serums. These are the most expensive ones I've used, but you get loads out of them and they are a good value because they actually work. I keep the patches on for about 25 minutes. I'm making an effort to up my water intake as this helps massively and will continue to use the patches daily."

Packed with collagen, reviewers say these gel patches help blur the appearance of puffiness, fine lines, and dark circles. Happy users of them say they love how bright and refreshed they made their dull undereye area look.

Rave Review: "Loved this product! I especially enjoyed storing them in the fridge before using them. That made using them feel very calming and relaxing! I noticed results at about two to three weeks. They appeared to brighten my eyes as well as reduce puffiness. Would recommend!"

These hyaluronic patches really focus on hydration, making them ideal for people with dry skin. People are obsessed with the serum on them and say they even help other eye issues, like twitching.

Rave Review: "I rarely write reviews on products, and I hesitated to write this one for fear of making this product hard to come by LOL! But, when it comes to undereye masks, Mizon tops them all (if I haven't tried them all, I've come awfully close!). These absolutely STAY PUT...they don't slip down your face and you don't have to hold them in place for eternity to make 'em stick! And, they're SUPER effective!! I use these every morning and most evenings. Also, I love that these come in a jar. They're not individually wrapped in a bunch of single-use plastics (yuck) and they're MORE effective than some I tried that set me back $60!!"

TONYMOLY hit up the ocean for inspiration when it came to these eye patches. Made with sea water and plankton in addition to hyaluronic acid, they're meant to help firm up the undereye area. People say they feel great after a day of staring at a computer screen.

Rave Review: "These are very relaxing with a light scent. I use them three times a week and my skin feels firmer and more moisturized after each application. They are easy to apply and remove. My extremely dry and sensitive skin approves. It makes me feel pampered."

Recommended by Dr. Garshick, Colorescience's hydrating patches help brighten the undereye area. Reviewers say their dark circles have significantly approved with the use of these. They're pricey, but they make a great gift or splurge on yourself if you're looking for something seriously effective.

Rave Review: "These hydrating undereye pads are amazing! They hydrate the thin area under my eyes and erase the fine lines! I highly recommend."
