Best under eye masks for puffy, tired peepers

111SKIN is widely regarded in the beauty industry as having some of the best masks on the market and this includes the label’s eye offering. There are eye masks in every range where each address a specific concern. The Celestial Black Diamond is for firming, the Sub Zero is for de-puffing and our personal favourite, the Rose Gold is for brightening. The packs come with eight hydrogel masks in the box and all have a satisfying cooling effect when applied. They are also all packed with concentrated powerhouse ingredients like pomegranate seed cell culture to counteract pigmentation, colloidal gold for soothing irritation and rose extract for hydration.

From the gel texture to the enrichment of hyaluronic acid, the Peter Thomas Roth Drench Hyaluronic Cloud Hydra-Gel Eye Patches are immediately hydrating and soothing as soon as you apply them to your under-eye area. The patches are created to plump the skin with moisture and there's the added bonus of caffeine and arnica too that reduce puffiness and signs of fatigue.

Layering on the MZ Skin gold eye masks is always going to feel like a luxurious experience - and that's before you've even relished the revitalising ingredients. The masks are enriched with gold nanoparticles that encourage better absorption of active ingredients like collagen, hyaluronic acid and seaweed. These components are chosen for their hydration, protection from harmful external aggressors and brightening tired peepers.

When you’ve been staring at screens for the best part of 12 hours, you will want to call in the big guns to revive the periorbital area. Enter Murad and the brand’s latest launch – the Retinol Youth Renewal Eye Masks. Unlike traditional retinol-based products, you can use this day or night but are best for when the sun goes down and should always be followed by SPF.

They deliver a hit of the anti-ageing powerhouse directly to the area where lines are most often a concern to firm and refresh. The mask is infused with the brand’s signature Tri-Active Technology which is both fast-acting and kind on the delicate area. This is combined with blue agave and passionfruit extracts, known for their firming and glow-giving results respectively.

Luxury from the packet to the product, it is clear to see that STARSKIN’s masks are a boujee product for tired peepers. But while nailing it on the aesthetic front, it’s the innovative construction and ingredient combination that really gives this mask the wow-factor. The cellulose fabric that the product is made from effectively acts as a lock to trap in both heat and the serum for better absorption, really offering bang for your buck. The formula combines rose of Jericho - a supercharge anti-ageing hero, marshmallow for its anti-inflammatory properties, Butcher’s Broom for its illumination and Butterfly Ginger to shield against blue light.

Rodial is beloved for thinking outside of the box with its formulations and the Dragon’s Blood range has reached cult status where the complex takes a starring role in this eye-mask that has impressive fatigue-fighting effects. It originates from the sap of the Crton Lechleri tree and is combined with hyaluronic acid to plump and firm, while delivering intense moisture.

Patchology’s eye gels take inspiration from our favourite bubbly beverage. As soon as you apply these masks, it begins to effervesce, hydrating the under-eye vicinity. They are infused with resveratrol that is found in grapes and orange extract - both of which are rich in antioxidants and will help fight against external aggressors that may cause skin ageing. There’s also a niacinamide for balancing the skin.

Florence By Mills was founded by Millie Bobby Brown to bring age-appropriate products to young adults just dipping their toe into skincare. These pads are perfect for pamper evenings: the masks are playfully shaped like whales, but they’re also brimming with skin-boosting goodness too.

With thrice the power, these masks have a triple-action hydrogel construction where a potent combination of scientifically-backed actives work to combat fatigue, sagging and minimise the appearance of wrinkles.
