Lovi Assistant explains
- Offers moderate hydrating and plumping for the under-eye area due to the presence of glycerin and sodium hyaluronate, which provide moisturizing effects suitable for normal skin.
- The product offers general skincare benefits like hydration and soothing, which are supportive but not specialized for your main goal of pigmentation.
- The safety profile is excellent, with no risks of irritation for your normal skin due to the absence of prohibited or harsh ingredients.

Questions and answers
How well does Patchology FlashPatch Rejuvenating Eye Gels work for skin with dark spots?

What does Caffeine do for skin with dark spots?
Caffeine helps protect skin cells against UV radiation with antioxidant properties and improves microcirculation, which may reduce the appearance of dark spots over time. It is generally well tolerated by healthy skin and is often added to daytime routines to boost sun protection.
Frontiers in Physiology, 2019Skin Pharmacology and Physiology, 2013
What does Hydrolyzed Collagen do for skin with dark spots?
Hydrolyzed collagen helps improve overall skin health and texture, but for dark spots, a product of this type needs added brightening ingredients like vitamin C or niacinamide to help fade discoloration.

Can I use these eye gels with retinol, and in what order?
You can use these eye gels with retinol, applying the gels to clean skin before your retinol product to help hydrate and soothe the under-eye area.
