Ad | Working full time, trying to get in shape and maintaining an active social life takes a toll on the body. Especially when you are in your mid 30’s like me. When Patchology UK sent me some eye rejuvenation patches to try out, I was thrilled. Here’s my Patchology Rejuvenating Eye Gels review.
This blog post is Award-Winning. At the House 21 Awards in December 2019, it was awarded “Best Feature Blog Post” for my reviews of the flash patch.
Over the last few years, the wrinkles have started to appear, under my eye has become darker and puffier. So, it is time to care about my eyes. I have tried similar patches over the last few years. They seem to work for a few minutes, but with no longer term effects. Ideally, I’d like a product that can make an impact for a few days.
About Patchology Rejuvenating Eye Gels
Firstly, they are labelled as the ‘anytime perk-me-up’. Ideal for puffiness, fatigue and dryness. In other words, the ‘fast fix’ uses caffeine and hydrolysed collagen to improve hydration. Plus, elasticity to give you a ‘you just woke up like this’ look.
How to Apply Patchology Eye Patches
Open the packet and remove the gels. You will need to open the lid of the round plastic container. Then remove the backing paper from the gel patch. The patch can then be placed under your eye, on the ‘bag’ area. Your skin should be clean and dry.
After that, wear the gel patch for 5-minutes or longer if you like. Once you have finished, remove the gel pad and massage any remaining serum into your skin. Ideally, you should do this with your second finger in soft circular motions. This is to avoid damaging the skin’s surface – as you would with your moisturiser, make-up, etc.
How to Wear Patchology Eye Gels
This is not clear on the packaging; however, the tail should be put in the corner of your eye next to your nose. The larger side of the patch on the outside of your eye near your temple. You should avoid putting it too close to your eyes. You don’t want to gel in your eye. However, if you do, rinse out with cool water.
How to Use Patchology Eye Gel
There is no guide on how often you should use the Patchology Flashpatch Rejuvenating Eye Gels . They are safe to be used daily.
Are Patchology Eye Gels ideal for contact lens wearers?
Yes, they are safe to use with contact lenses. The gels are ophthalmologist tested and safe for contact lens wearers.
Are Patchology Eye Gels Cruelty-free?

Unfortunately, Patchology Rejuvenating Eye Gels are not vegan. However, the brand does have a lot of products that are. Logical Harmony has put the vegan-friendly products on a list.
Are Patchology Eye Gels Natural?
I could not find an answer to this. Judging by the list of ingredients then I would say, no they are not. If you can not understand what an element is, then generally it is not natural, and some of the lists say synthetic. H
However, it does contain one of my favourite ‘top name’ ingredients call Snail Secretion Filtrate or Snail Slime. It is packed with nutrients such as hyaluronic acid, glycoprotein, proteoglycans, and antimicrobial and copper peptides. All of which are commonly used in beauty products and proven to be beneficial for the skin.

They were founded over 10 years ago by Chris Hobson in the United States. The products are aimed at the busy woman who want beauty products to do more, work faster and deliver better results.

My review of Patchology Rejuvenating Eye Gel Patches
I wore my patches while cleaning the kitchen, so for around 45-minutes. They stayed put and did not move. After a very short amount of time, I had forgotten that I was wearing them. I liked the cooling effect they had when placed on the eye, which was comforting.
When I did remove them, I could feel that my skin was tighter. For the rest of the day, my under-eyes looked brighter. The puffiness had been reduced, and the dark circles had been diminished slightly. What I did not expect from the day gels, though, was that they immediately changed the look of my wrinkles.
I would not use one every day. It would be good to keep them at hand, especially after a long night or stressful week. They would be ideal for wearing when getting ready for a big event or a night out.
My Patchology before and after
I looked at what others had done in there before and after photographs. I was disappointed to see a face full of make-up under the eye gel patch. So here is my real-life perspective:
