The comma-shaped mini masks aren’t just a beauty statement - they deliver some serious skincare benefits.
They offer a boost to the delicate area of skin that is often home to hollowing and dark circles.

As under-eye masks are often packaged in plastic, there will be some serum left in the packaging after you’ve hydrated your undereyes.

India shared the hack with the social media team at Cult Beauty, who uploaded a tutorial to Instagram for their customers.
“The hydrogel patches are multipurpose,” one affirmed.
“Many companies mention it on the packaging
“I totally get this,” another commented.
“I use eye cream on my smile lines sometimes when I’m feeling extra dehydrated.”
