Questions and answers
How well does Patchology FlashPatch Rejuvenating Eye Gels work for sensitive skin?
These eye patches work moderately well for sensitive skin because they contain soothing ingredients like allantoin and chamomile extract that are unlikely to cause irritation. However, to give this skin type better results, a product of this type needs a broader range of calming and hydrating ingredients like Centella asiatica and niacinamide to fully handle redness and daily needs.
Which ingredients make this eye patch a good fit for sensitive skin?
These eye patches contain soothing ingredients like Allantoin and Chamomilla Recutita Flower Extract that are generally safe and gentle for sensitive skin. They also feature Centella Asiatica Extract and glycerin, which help calm redness and keep skin hydrated. Eye patches for sensitive skin need gentle, calming ingredients and strong hydrators like hyaluronic acid to soothe irritation while keeping the skin soft and smooth.
Indian Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2016Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017
What does Caffeine do for sensitive skin?
Caffeine is unlikely to irritate sensitive skin and helps calm redness by boosting microcirculation and providing antioxidant protection against UV damage. It is generally well tolerated, though sensitive skin types looking for this benefit need formulas with soothing ingredients and without harsh fragrances.
Skin Pharmacology and Physiology, 2013Frontiers in Physiology, 2019
What does Hydrolyzed Collagen do for sensitive skin?
Hydrolyzed Collagen helps soothe sensitive skin by calming irritation and keeping it deeply hydrated. It supports the skin barrier so dry, easily upset skin feels much softer and more comfortable with regular use.
Where does it go in a skincare routine for sensitive skin?
These eye patches fit into your routine right after cleansing and toning, before you apply your moisturizer or treatment. They are generally safe and unlikely to cause irritation on sensitive skin due to soothing ingredients like Allantoin and Chamomilla Recutita Flower Extract.
Can I use this eye patch with retinol, and in what order?
You can use this eye patch with retinol, applying the eye patch to clean dry skin before your retinol treatment so the hydrating ingredients absorb easily. This product works for sensitive skin, but to get better results for this skin type, it needs higher concentrations of soothing and barrier-strengthening ingredients.
How often should I use it?
These eye patches are generally safe to use regularly, though they offer only moderate support for your sensitive skin. To get better results for this skin type, a product of this type needs higher concentrations of soothing and hydrating ingredients like glycerin, sodium hyaluronate, and Centella Asiatica extract.
Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017Indian Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2016
Can this eye patch clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for sensitive skin?
These eye patches are unlikely to clog pores or cause breakouts for sensitive skin because the formulation lacks harsh ingredients and includes soothing components. Products for this skin need gentle, calming ingredients and lightweight moisture that hydrate without heavy oils.
Is it fragrance-free and alcohol-free?
It has no drying alcohol and contains fragrance (parfum).
