15 Under-Eye Masks to Camouflage Your Late-Night Netflix Binge (2024)

15 Under-Eye Masks to Camouflage Your Late-Night Netflix Binge (1)

In today’s fast-paced world, we can hardly be blamed for wanting a quick-fix. The reality is that when it comes to skin, there aren’t many instances of instant gratification, especially when it comes to more severe concerns. However, if you struggle with puffiness, dark circles, and wrinkles in the area around your eyes, you’re in luck—there’s a host of products on the market that can act as antidotes with near-instant results, like caffeine eye creams, under-eye wrinkle fillers, and brightening concealers. But one of the most effective and easiest methods for achieving picture-perfect under eyes in a pinch is popping on some under-eye patches.

For full transparency, these masks are usually temporary solutions, as they don’t necessarily get to the root of the problem or eradicate the issue for longer than a day or so. “Patches can offer some minimal to modest improvement, so it’s important to have the right expectations,” explains dermatologist Dr. Omar Ibrahimi. “However, these are usually fairly well-tolerated and come with minimal risk.” Plus, they don’t require much work on your part, so you can apply them and go about your day while the patches envelop your under eyes in hydrating, soothing ingredients. You can also stick them in the fridge before using them to enhance their cooling and de-puffing effects—especially handy when you’re struggling to wake up in the early hours of the day.

After consulting skin experts, testing a variety of options ourselves, and reading countless customer reviews, we landed on the below as the 15 best under-eye patches for smoother, brighter, and more youthful-looking under eyes.

Topicals rating: 4.8/5 stars

An ELLE editor says: “When I think about buying a face mask, I tend to ask myself two questions: Are they effective? And are they cute enough to wear outside? With these, it’s a resounding yes to both. These hydrogel patches help to fade discoloration and hydrate your eye area while delivering a soothing cooling sensation. With my sensitive and dry skin, it’s really important for me to show my under-eyes some extra love, so these always come in handy. I always pop these on when I have some down time or if I’m running quick errands.”Tasha Nicole Smith, beauty assistant

Best Reusable

Dieux Forever Eye Mask

15 Under-Eye Masks to Camouflage Your Late-Night Netflix Binge (13)

Pros
  • 15 Under-Eye Masks to Camouflage Your Late-Night Netflix Binge (14)Sustainable
Cons
  • 15 Under-Eye Masks to Camouflage Your Late-Night Netflix Binge (15)May bunch up under eyes

You can forget about constantly refilling your stash and opt for these delightfully reusable patches that have taken TikTok by storm. Made of soft, medical-grade silicone, they’re packed with potent ingredients, like niacinamide, caffeine, and hyaluronic acid, to visibly soothe, brighten, and plump. Bonus: They’ll also help lock in your favorite skincare products for even better results.

Key ingredients: Glycerin, peptides, niacinamide

Dieux rating: 4.7/5 stars

An ELLE editor says: “The idea of a reusable eye mask is clever, but it also works. I’ve tried the Dieux eye mask (made of silicone) on top of my favorite eye cream on just one side. After a few minutes, the side with the mask was slightly brighter and less crepey-looking, which made my tired, grey eye circles on the other side stand out more. And you can keep using it—if not forever, then for a long time.”—Kathleen Hou, ELLE beauty director

Walmart rating: 4.3/5 stars

An ELLE editor says: “I cannot tell a lie—I fell for the hype with this one. I’ve seen this mask on my feed countless times at this point, so I decided that I needed to try it for myself. These eye patches are indeed a true treat for my under eyes; they depuff and smooth out the skin in the area within minutes, and I feel extra fancy having gold-infused masks on my face. They do smell slightly medicinal, but not in a bad way, and the scent is nearly undetectable unless you’re placing them under your nose (which I wouldn’t recommend).”—Carol Lee, ELLE.com associate beauty e-commerce writer

However, Patchology’s eye patches have become my personal wake-up trick. I slap a pair on in the morning, and I feel ten times more awake and aware of my surroundings than I did without them. They’re perfect even on busy mornings since I only need a few minutes with them to experience their effects.”—Carol Lee

It really feels like it forms a seal to infuse my under-eye area with moisture so that they look less dry and more plumped up. Also, it has a cooling effect. Maybe the fact that it’s black also makes me feel like it’s seriously working, or it could be its hydrating yet functional formula of retinol, niacinamide, and hyaluronic acid.”—Kathleen Hou

My friend Alicia Yoon, founder of Peach & Lily, was the one who introduced me to Shangpree, a legendary Korean facialist purveyor whose estheticians are required to do three years of training before they’re even allowed to touch a face. Naturally, their products are made with the same level of fastidiousness.”—Kathleen Hou

All the eye masks I use normally slip down after a few minutes (which I thought was normal until using these). The material doesn’t break apart easily, and apart from the quality, it is hydrating and feels so refreshing. I intended to keep them on for 15 minutes but ended up keeping them on for about 25 minutes because I couldn’t get enough of the tingling feeling! So relaxing. Will definitely be adding to my skincare routine one to two [times] weekly.”

What are the most common under-eye complaints?

15 Under-Eye Masks to Camouflage Your Late-Night Netflix Binge (60)

“Dark circles are multifactorial and can be due to loss of fat from aging, veins that are creating that dark appearance under the skin, and/or hyperpigmentation from chronic rubbing,” says Dr. Lal. “After dark circles, the next big complaint is wrinkling and crepiness. This is due to skin thinning as we age. Sun damage also contributes to skin thinning.”

Can under-eye patches really help with these issues?

15 Under-Eye Masks to Camouflage Your Late-Night Netflix Binge (61)

A good skincare routine coupled with professional treatments can bring the results you desire. “The under-eye area is an area that needs procedures,” Dr. Lal adds. “Filler, neuromodulators, fractional ablative resurfacing, and or picosecond lasers are needed to truly make your under-eye issues better.”

Are there ingredients people should look for when trying to treat puffiness or dark circles?

15 Under-Eye Masks to Camouflage Your Late-Night Netflix Binge (62)

“Yes, there are a variety of ingredients, including hyaluronic acid, caffeine, green tea, and niacinamide,” says Dr. Ibrahimi. “Ingredients like retinol or vitamin C can also help but beware, these may be more irritating.” If you’re looking for some gold under-eye patches, beware that some people can find them sensitizing. “Gold can actually cause hyperpigmentation, and some people can be allergic to gold,” warns Dr. Lal. Gold and other heavy metals can leave a blue-gray pigment behind, but in most cases, this hyperpigmentation is reversible.

Is there a way to make under-eye patches more effective?

15 Under-Eye Masks to Camouflage Your Late-Night Netflix Binge (63)

“Yes, applying them before bedtime and sleeping with them allows many uninterrupted hours of application where the ingredients will work,” says Dr. Ibrahimi.
