  • How Good Are Primark’s PS Skin Caffeine Eye Patches?

    We all live in hope that skincare products will sort out specific skin issues quickly. Some deliver results fast, some take time and some not at all. My expectations of how skincare products will work can be varied, but I’m still willing to give things a go and hope for the best! I recently bought Primark’s PS Skin Caffeine Eye Patches to try out. Containing 15 treatments, this cost £1.80.

    Primark’s PS Skin Caffeine Eye Patches
    Why did I buy this?

    Because I look tired! Who wants to look like a zombie with under eyes touching their knees? I don’t! This is why I love under eye patches. They won’t change this area of the face permanently, but can give a temporary boost. I also like using them, so why would I NOT try these?

    What do you get & what do they do?

    15 treatments, 30 under eye patches in total. Created to smooth the under eye area and help de-puff eyes and make them look better. Caffeine as an ingredient can help with circulation and energising of the skin.

    Packaging

    Primark’s PS Skin Caffeine Eye Patches come in a resealable sachet. Very practical to use and store, basic in look but very appealing with how it’s presented.

    How to use

    Apply onto freshly cleansed skin, place under the eye area and leave on for 15 to 20 minutes. Remove and don’t wash off.

    In use

    These eye patches are typical in look and feel to most tissue under eye patches. White in colour, moist with serum but not drenched and a decent thickness to them. Very easy to apply. They covered the whole under eye area and stayed where they were placed comfortably. Slightly cooling, these didn’t budge until I removed them which I loved.

    Taking these off, I felt my under eyes were moisturised lightly, so felt as if they had been treated in some way. Did Primark’s PS Skin Caffeine Eye Patches change the look of my under eyes? Nothing massively noticeable to be honest. Maybe a tiny bit fresher in look but not wowing. But I did enjoy using them!

    Recommended?

    Controversially, I actually would recommend these, and I will explain why. The patches are well constructed and had the perfect amount of serum soaked into them. Good shape, comfortable to wear, soothing, not fragranced and they didn’t dry out too much. They also didn’t dry out my under eyes and actually hydrated them. The fact you get 15 pairs of eye patches in a sealed packet means lots and lots of pampering for myself and anyone else who wants to use them in my household! So do they improve the under eye area? No eye surgery here. But they do provide light relief delivered in an enjoyable way for only £1.80.

  • Tired Eyes? Beauty Pro’s Eye Therapy Under Eye Mask

    If you love a skincare sheet mask you will probably love under eye masks as well. They can give an instant pick me up on a targeted area of the face that we all want to appear fresh and rested. I love this type of product and recently purchased Beauty Pro’s Eye Therapy Under Eye Masks. Bought from Sainsburys on a special price promotion (when using their Nectar card) of £2.50 instead of £5.00. This contains 3 pairs of eye masks.

    Beauty Pro’s Eye Therapy Under Eye Mask
    Why did I buy this?

    I love eye patches/masks, and I will happily try as many as I can to find effective ones. Beauty Pro as a brand I’ve used a few times so I thought the quality of these would be good. The price was great value as I assumed this contained one pair of masks not three!

    What are these supposed to do?

    Beauty Pro’s Eye Therapy Under Eye Masks are designed to help the look of under eyes that are tired, puffy and wrinkled and improve their overall appearance.

    Packaging

    These come in a typical sachet that most facial masks will come in. But because of how these are coloured (grey/blue) and how simple and clean this appears, it looks very professional, almost salon like to me. The sachet does contain three pairs of masks with each pair being housed in their own sachet.

    How to use

    Apply to clean skin, place under the eyes and leave on for 20 minutes.

    In use

    I took a pair of these under eye masks out of their little sachet and found them stuck to a piece of plastic. When peeled off, one side was very sticky and the other wasn’t and more fabric like (similar to a traditional sheet mask). They weren’t swimming in solution so I assumed the ingredients were sat on the surface of the sticky side. These were easy to apply and didn’t budge when applied! They stuck onto my skin like suckers and were quite rigid in feel. These eye patches were very cooling on the skin throughout wearing them which was a very nice sensation and comforting experience.

    There was a fragrance to Beauty Pro’s Eye Therapy Under Eye Masks. They smelt fresh, a little earthy and almost floral. Pleasant and not heavy.

    After use

    After taking these off I did think my under eyes looked a little fresher. Not massively but a little. I’m not sure whether it was because the suction held everything in place and flat, or it was the ingredients, but they didn’t look worse. They also felt hydrated but weren’t seeped in moisture or oily in look or feel so quite light weight in regards to hydration.

    Recommended?

    Although I didn’t feel like I had an eye lift, Beauty Pro’s Eye Therapy Under Eye Masks did give me an instant improvement. They were a great alternative and something different from the usual eye masks available on the market. And I loved how secure they felt on my skin. For the cost of £2.50 for three pairs of individually wrapped under eye patches is a bargain, so yes, I would recommend these! In fact, I’ve taken a second trip to Sainsbury’s and bought a second sachet of them!
