I’m currently working my way through all of the Klorane eye patches I’ve accumulated, and they don’t seem to do anything for my under-eye area. 🙁 I don’t have any under-eye concerns, but usually eye patches do something, even if it’s just hydrating the area, which these don’t even do. I’ll finish up what I have, but I’m a bit bummed they didn’t work for me since I know they’re quite loved by a lot of people.

Hi Luna! I know you’re pretty much the beauty box and brand authority around here, but have you tried the Erno Laszlo eye patches? I know they’ve made their rounds in sub boxes and various kits so it’s unlikely you haven’t. But…I’m a total beauty junkie too, especially skincare as I age, so I try lots of eye patches since my eye area is where I have the most fine lines. My eyes only get puffy if I’m sick or I cried the day or night before and I usually only have dark circles if I’m super tired for several days. If I don’t have anything but the wrinkles going on it’s impossible to judge an eye treatment. But it just so happened I was struggling with all 3 problems one morning, plus not wanting to start my day. I keep all my eye patches/treatments/etc in a drawer in my fridge and just pull out a pair when I need one or just feel like testing one. That day I grabbed the ones from Erno Laszlo and WOW!!! I could see a BIG difference. Almost no puffiness or darkness and even my wrinkles looked plumped up and hydrated. I’ve never had any skincare product work that well and that fast. Of course we’re all different so they may not be as miraculous on every other person. But if you or anyone else out there hasn’t tried them, look for them in sub boxes, beauty kits, GWP’s or even on the swap site. They’re quite pricey (for my budget) so I recommend trying them out before investing in a whole set.
Birchbox sells sets of 6 pair for $35 but if you wait for a good coupon they’re more reasonable. Still, I only use mine if I REALLY need them.
Funny story (to a beauty product addict at least)…..the only other eye treatment that ever worked that well for me was decades ago, and they stopped making it shortly after I discovered it. It was a true old school mask you actually (carefully 😄) smeared around your eye area. It was packaged in silver/holographic cards with 2 pods of product on each one. It was made by the now ever-so-popular GLAMGLOW! It was so amazingly effective I just about cried when I couldn’t find it anywhere a few years later. I eventually tracked some down on Ebay for a pretty penny so they must’ve worked well on lots of people. I’m not sure they ever really got off the ground because I never saw a full size set in person or on Ebay, they just sold the sample cards in bundles.

Same. I think they’re crap.

I think I just need to stick to Klorane’s hair products… which I love! 😀

Same here, these patches are the least hydrating I have tried.
