How do I use the Eye Recovery Patches?
Start with clean, dry skin. Place each patch with the curved edge closest to your nose and smooth it outward toward your temple. Leave them on for 20–30 minutes, peel off, and pat the leftover serum into your skin. No rinsing.
How do I use the Bio-Collagen Recovery Mask?
Wash your face and pat dry. Apply the top half first, lined up with your forehead and eyes, then the bottom half along your jaw. Leave it on for 20–30 minutes, peel off slowly from the edges, and massage the remaining serum in. No rinsing.
Can I use the face mask if I have a beard?
Yes. The mask comes in two pieces for exactly this reason. Use the top half only and skip the lower piece.
How long should I leave them on?
20–30 minutes. The hydrogel doesn't dry out, so it keeps working the whole time. You can also leave the mask on overnight.
When should I use them?
About 90 minutes before an event, the same day after travel, the morning after a late night, or 2–3 times a week as a routine.
Do I need to rinse after?
No. Massage the leftover serum into your skin; it absorbs in 2–3 minutes. Follow with moisturizer if your skin runs dry.
Should I put them in the fridge?
You absolutely can! Chilling them makes the cooling effect stronger. Don't freeze them.
The Products
What's the difference between the eye patches and the face mask?
The Eye Recovery Patches target the under-eye area and include argireline peptide for the look of fine lines. The Bio-Collagen Recovery Mask covers the full face and adds copper tripeptide-1 and squalane. Use the patches for quick under-eye recovery and the mask when your whole face needs it.
Are these microneedle patches?
No. Patched Eye Recovery Patches are peptide hydrogel patches. There are no needles: the patches are soaked in serum and sit on top of your skin.
Are Patched products made for men?
Yes. The mask is cut to fit a man's face and splits in two for beards, and everything is fragrance-free. They work on any skin type.
Will they help with puffiness and dark circles?
Caffeine and the cooling hydrogel help reduce the look of puffiness, and hyaluronic acid hydrates the under-eye area so it looks smoother and more rested. Dark circles caused by genetics or pigmentation won't disappear. You'll see the biggest difference on tired, puffy mornings.
Are they OK for sensitive skin?
They're free of fragrance, parabens, sulfates and mineral oil. If your skin is sensitive, try a patch on a small area first, and stop using them if you get irritation.
Is Patched Fragrance-Free, Cruelty-Free, Paraben-Free, Sulfate-Free and Mineral Oil-Free?
Yes!
Ingredients
What is argireline?
Argireline (acetyl hexapeptide-8) is a peptide used in skincare to soften the look of expression lines, especially around the eyes. It's in the Eye Recovery Patches.
What does copper tripeptide-1 do?
Copper tripeptide-1, also called copper peptide, helps skin look firmer and smoother. It's in the Bio-Collagen Recovery Mask.
Is bakuchiol the same as retinol?
No. Bakuchiol is a plant-based alternative to retinol. It's generally gentler, which is why it's used around the eyes.
Is there any fragrance?
No. Every Patched product is fragrance-free.
