‘This is a great product as it helps to visibly plump the under-eye area. Although they’re needed as a regular treatment to maintain results, these eye patches plumped and brightened my under-eye skin, thanks to hyaluronic acid, the molecule that can hold up to 1,000 times its own weight in water.’ AH
