There are two different types of skincare on the market in my opinion. The first one is skincare that does a job and gives some form of result. The second is the fun, having a bit of a pamper and enjoying using skincare products. When I saw Bubble T’s Hydrogel Under Eye Patches for 49p in Home Bargains, I thought these might fall into the second category, but was I right?
Why did I buy these?
I love under eye patches. These were affordable, looked appealing and something both myself and my daughter wanted to try.
What are these?
Moisturising collagen and green tea eye patches that are designed to help with puffy, lacklustre under eyes.
How do these look?
Gold in colour with an almost jelly like feel to and look to them. They don’t have a rigid structure to them so they are very floppy. Shape wise, very typical for under eye patches as they follow the shape of the under eye area. I always think of these as being kidney bean shaped.
Packaging
Bubble T’s Hydrogel Under Eye Patches come in a clear fronted sachet, so you can see the actual under eye patches. All information such as ingredients and how to use is on the back. Packaging wise it looks very simple, dare I say on the cheaper side but still grabbed my attention instore.
Fragrance
When I opened the sachet there was a subtle but obvious flowery fragrance to these. Not strong, quite soft and reasonably pleasant.
How to use
Place each under eye patch below the eye and leave on for 15-20 minutes and remove.
In Use
Placing these under my eyes was easy. One patch though struggled to stay in place at one point but both soon sat in place for 20 minutes. I found these to be very cooling and comforting (I had them in the fridge prior to use) and comfortable on my face. Once I took them off I dabbed in some of the solution these were in from their sachet and carried on with my skincare routine.
Fragrance wise while wearing these under eye patches I caught the slightest whiff of these but it really wasn’t noticeable. In my opinion that’s a good thing because having something strong in scent sat on your face for up to 20 minutes can be too much.
After Use
Straight after I removed these and even the next day my under eyes didn’t look massively different. They weren’t dry, irritated, sore but they were adequately hydrated. I would have liked my under eyes to have felt more plumped up moisture wise but I think a tissue like material would have been better delivering that. Overall using these was a little bit of pampering but no change to the look and feel of my under eyes.
Recommended?
These were fun to use. Both myself and my daughter used them and she really enjoyed them. I got what I expected from them which was a nice little experience, an enjoyable feel on the face all done super cheap! In all honesty that’s what I thought I would get. If you’re looking for actual results and improvements on this part of the face, look at eye creams or serums. These are not for you. If you want something that doesn’t cost the earth and something to use to give your face a little attention, why not? For 49p? Just don’t expect massive results and it’s 49p well spent.
