Recently, many girls are increasingly paying attention to the cosmetics of Korean brands. Indeed, Korean cosmetic products differ from European ones in their content of large amounts of natural ingredients. Many of them perfectly interact not only with each other, but also with natural components contained in human skin, and some are identical to them.

Korean cosmetics are also known for their innovative products that encourage the skin to independently produce the ingredients necessary for its recovery and recovery. Knowledge in the field of Eastern medicine also helps Korean cosmetics manufacturers to create unique products.



The popularity of patches in cosmetics today is quite large, since they really give a visible effect, are relatively inexpensive, convenient and easy to use. Most often they are a crescent-shaped patch, impregnated with active substances.

What effect should you expect from eye patches?

We all know how our skin around the eyes sensitive and thin, and therefore in this area the first wrinkles appear most quickly. The skin around the eyes reacts to external and internal negative factors, for example, diseases, smoking, lack of sleep, overwork, stress, diet, etc. Therefore, the care here should be regular, and it consists in moisturizing, nourishing, improving blood microcirculation and lymphatic drainage.

It is the patches that will help us keep the skin in the eye area in good condition. They are “first aid” in situations where we need to look fresh and youthful. The patches will remove puffiness, dark circles and bags under the eyes.

There are many types of patches, and they depend on the source material of manufacture.

It can be hydrogel, collagen, tissue, silicone.

Patches are further classified according to the effect they produce. These are patches - nourishing, moisturizing, anti-aging, decongestant, regenerating, whitening.

Depending on the type, patches have their own specific composition of ingredients. Most often found in patches: hyaluronic acid, panthenol, glycerin, collagen and elastin, vegetable oils, vitamins, plant extracts, brightening agents, antioxidants, peptides and various amino acids.



In addition to the named ingredients, patches may contain other various components, for example, biogold, pearls, algae, snail secretions ... and many others that we still do not know about.

Today we will focus on hydrogel patches.

Hydrogel patches have a gel-like structure. The largest part of the composition of these patches belongs to hyaluronic acid. The composition includes collagen, elastin, peptides, liposomes, antioxidants, extracts of various plants.

These patches are used for moisturizing, rejuvenating and revitalizing effects. They are ideal for smoothing fine wrinkles and moisturizing the skin around the eyes. They should be used with caution in those with rosacea or severe swelling. In the latter case, the patches should not be overexposed for longer than the specified time, so as not to achieve even greater edema. Hydrogel patches can also be applied to other parts of the face and neck.




The patches are applied to cleansed and dry skin. Before use, you can hold them in your hands to warm them, and then remove the protective film and stick to the area around the eyes, stepping back from the edge of the lower eyelid by 2mm.Apply gently so that the skin does not wrinkle under the patches.

After the specified time has elapsed, carefully remove the patches, hammer the rest of the active mass into the skin with your fingers. You can spread the remaining essence over the face with light pats and allow it to be absorbed. There is another way to further use the patches - dissolve them in hot water and apply the resulting solution as a moisturizing essence.

Some hydrogel patches should be covered separately.

1. Hydrogel regenerating patches Mizon Snail Repair Intensive Gold Eye Gel Patch.

In addition to hyaluronic acid, these patches contain 1% snail mucin, which helps smooth wrinkles, regenerate cells, and moisturize the skin in the eye area. In addition, snail mucin prevents the appearance of post-acne, inflammatory processes, and promotes exfoliation. Using these patches, you will soon notice that the looseness of the skin disappears, its surface is smoothed. Snail mucin stimulates the synthesis of collagen and elastin in the skin, which reduces the depth of wrinkles.

The patches contain collagen and gold, which strengthen the skin, increasing its elasticity and firmness. Thanks to these components, respiration and nutrition of cells are improved, blood circulation is stimulated and thereby premature aging of the skin is prevented.

The active essence contains niacinamide, which has the effect of deep moisturizing and smoothing of the skin texture. In other words, penetrating into skin cells, niacinamide smoothes scars and blemishes from pustular and acne.



Another component in the patches is adenosine. In living cells, adenosine is involved in the transfer of energy in biochemical reactions. It stimulates the synthesis of collagen and elastin in the skin, softens and tightens it, and is also one of the most effective anti-aging agents that slow down the aging process.

In addition to the listed ingredients, the essence contains extracts of grapefruit, pine, bamboo, chaga mushrooms, a peptide complex and other ingredients.

The patches adhere well to the skin. The essence, which the patches are impregnated with, when interacting with the body, begins to melt, penetrating deep into the cells.

2. Multifunctional hydrogel patches with gold and collagen SNP Gold Collagen Eye Patch.

These patches are used to increase the elasticity of the skin, they also moisturize, smooth expression lines, restore and rejuvenate the skin, and gently lighten dark circles.

Multifunctional hydrogel patches contain gold and collagen. We can say that they instantly start working on the restoration of beauty. The active mass penetrates deeply into the epidermis.



These patches can be used on other areas of the face as well. Thanks to natural ingredients, blood circulation improves, skin microrelief is smoothed and a healthy glow returns.

The essence of the patches contains gold, collagen, adenosine, green tea extract and yuzu (a citrus fruit common in Southeast Asia, which is a hybrid of mandarin and Ichansk lemon). We already know about the action of many components, and as for yuzu, it has an antiseptic and antioxidant effect, at the same time it stimulates the outflow of lymph and improves blood microcirculation.

3. Secret Key Gold Racoony Hydro Gel and Spot Patch

Gold Racoony with raccoon on the package. I must say that among girls this is one of the most popular patches. Colloidal gold, chamomile extract, aloe vera, green tea, asiatica centella are the main ingredients of these patches. Thanks to them, you can moisturize and restore the skin in the eye area.

It also contains adenosine and allantoin. Allantoin moisturizes, softens the skin, has an anti-inflammatory effect, so this component is very effective for irritated skin.

4. The Skin House Black Pearl Peptide Patch.

The Skin House Black Pearl Peptide Patch hydrates, plumps and brightens dark circles. The active mass contains extracts of black walnut, blackberry, black currant, as well as pearl powder and peptides.

Combined with each other, all these ingredients tone and increase the elasticity of the skin, eliminate flaking, soothe and soften the skin. Pearl powder and blackberry extract whiten the skin and prevent the formation of age spots. Peptides accelerate the natural synthesis of collagen and elastin, increase skin tone.




Their radiance, beauty and youth depend on the state of our soul, mood and health, which are reflected in the eyes. We underestimate these factors. Therefore, often even the best cosmetics sometimes do not have the desired effect.

And besides this, it should be borne in mind that any Asian cosmetics is designed for Asian women, and we differ from them not only in appearance, but also in metabolism. Therefore, Asian remedies do not always help European women, and sometimes even problematic situations appear that require additional treatment.



All components of the products must be carefully checked for safety, and the competition between cosmetic companies is quite serious, so we cannot be sure of the complete harmlessness of cosmetic products.

For example, snail mucin stimulates the synthesis of collagen and elastin in the skin, peptides also work at the cellular level, stimulating the renewal of epidermal cells. And is there a risk in this, besides the benefit? Yes there is. How true will the programmed program from these ingredients work, will the choice to stimulate cells really be the right one, or ... will it increase the risks of neoplasms?

1. Any kind of patches should not be used on damaged, irritated skin and rashes in the area of ​​application.

2. Before applying the patches, they must be checked for an allergic reaction. To do this, apply the patch first to the chin area. If there is no tingling or redness, you can apply.

3. Apply patches only to cleansed skin, after removing makeup.

4. Do not think that the patches have miraculous powers that can return the skin to a state of absolute youth.

5. Most patches help for a certain amount of time, and their value lies in the fact that in a certain situation you urgently need to look fresh and young.

6. Do not forget that we are all different - in terms of age, health, skin type and condition, so everyone can have a different effect. And if sometimes you are unhappy with the remedy, think, are you doing everything right? For example, in the area of ​​the eyes, blood stagnates in small capillaries, and so-called dark circles or "bruises" under the eyes are formed. Patches can help, but perhaps you do not get enough sleep or smoke a lot, then the help from the patches will be very short-term and insignificant. But it is not the remedy that is to blame, but your way of life.
