People Say

★4.5Overall rating based on 100+ reviews

Based on limited data from approximately 50 reviews, users with dry, sensitive, and mature skin find these patches effective for immediate hydration and plumping of the under-eye area, often using them as a quick fix before events. While many appreciate the cooling, depuffing, and gentle effects, some note that the results are temporary and do not offer long-term wrinkle reduction. The patches generally adhere well and are suitable for sensitive skin, though some users find them a bit pricey and note concerns about packaging waste.

Questions and answers

How well does Mediheal E.G.T Essence Gel Eyefill Patch work for sensitive skin?

Mediheal E.G.T Essence Gel Eyefill Patch works as an average fit for sensitive skin, as it feels very safe and soothing without causing irritation, though it lacks specialized ingredients like niacinamide or azelaic acid to properly calm redness. Sensitive skin of this type needs calming and soothing ingredients like Centella Asiatica and niacinamide to effectively reduce redness and irritation.

Which ingredients make this patch a good fit for sensitive skin?

Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate and Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice make this patch a good fit for sensitive skin by soothing the area and keeping irritation unlikely. To work best for sensitive skin prone to redness and irritation, this type of product needs calming and strengthening ingredients like niacinamide or azelaic acid.

What does EGF do for sensitive skin?

EGF helps calm sensitive skin by supporting barrier recovery and reducing moisture loss after irritation. It also helps protect skin cells from environmental damage and lowers inflammation to keep your face feeling soft and smooth.

Skin Pharmacology and Physiology, 2013

Where does it go in a skincare routine for sensitive skin?

This eye patch fits your sensitive skin on an average level, offering gentle hydration and soothing ingredients like aloe and licorice root extract, though it lacks targeted ingredients for redness and irritation. To better calm and protect sensitive skin, this type of product needs specialized soothing ingredients like niacinamide or azelaic acid.

Can I use this patch with retinol, and in what order?

You can use this patch while using retinol because it has a very safe formula that is unlikely to cause irritation, but it lacks calming ingredients like niacinamide or azelaic acid that sensitive skin needs to target redness.

How often should I use it?

This eye patch works for your sensitive skin, though other products fit it better. To properly care for sensitive skin, an eye product of this type needs soothing ingredients like aloe vera or calming plant extracts to calm redness and irritation.

Can this patch clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for sensitive skin?

This patch is unlikely to clog pores or cause breakouts for sensitive skin, as its soothing ingredients help keep irritation low. However, because it lacks specialized ingredients to calm redness, sensitive skin needs a product with soothing extras like niacinamide or azelaic acid to properly target irritation.

Is it fragrance-free and alcohol-free?

Yes, it has no fragrance and no drying alcohol.
