a city you miss

the colours you shout for

the flag you travel under

whatever you imagine

Kyoto, in spring

The place you lived for a year, or the one you keep meaning to go back to. Twelve cities, coastlines and skylines, printed on the front face and held there for the whole wear.

FC Barcelona

You already wear the shirt. Now wear the colours, without the paint stick that smudges by half time. Two dozen colourways, matched to the real kits.

Palestine

Your country, your parents' country, the one you fly at home. Over a hundred and ten flags, each one held to its own shades rather than a generic red and green.

Your own photo

The view from your grandmother's guest room. The dog. The kitchen table everyone ends up around. Send the photo and we print it on the front.

The formula

korean beauty heritage

Hydrogel is a Korean speciality, and it is not a new one. The lab we work with has been casting it for decades, which is the difference between a patch that grips and one that slides down your cheek by minute four.

A gloved hand measuring an amber oil into a graduated cylinder — Formulated and cast in Korea
Formulation, gel casting, filling and packing all happen in one facility working to ISO 22716 cosmetic GMP. Some raw materials are sourced internationally, as they are for every cosmetic made anywhere.

A close portrait of a woman's face in soft light — Built to be boring, in the best way
The brief to the lab was short: hold water, stay cold, grip a curve, and contain nothing that needs a warning. Everything interesting about these patches happens on the front.

ISO 22716Cosmetic GMP

The facility standard. We will name it and show you the certificate if you ask.

0+ yrsHydrogel experience

The team has been casting this material since long before patches were a category.

0Adenosine

0Fragrance

None, along with no essential oils and no retinal.

The print

swiss engineering

Anyone can print on a sticker. Bonding a vibrant layer to the front of something wet, cold and slowly dissolving, keeping it there for the whole wear, and keeping it completely separate from the formula behind it, is the hard part. This is the half that makes the customisation possible at all.

the gel body

Mostly water, held in a soft matrix that sits below skin temperature and follows the curve of the bone under your eye.

the print layer

A thin, vibrant layer bonded to the front face, the side pointing away from you. It stays put for the whole wear, it does not rub off, and it never mixes into the formula behind it.

a clean sealed edge

The crescent is cut and finished so the rim grips without curling, which is what keeps the shape readable for the whole wear.

the serum it leaves behind

As the gel gives up its water, a light layer stays on the skin. You pat it in. No residue, no rinsing.

20 minWear test

Every colourway is worn on skin before it goes in the range.

40°CStability

Held at temperature to check the colour does not move.

TransferChecked

Against skin, cloth and a pillowcase, for colour and staining.

The formula

Ingredients

six things,
all of them doing something

Most patches lean on one humectant and a lot of packaging. Eyelands has six actives, each at a level that does something, chosen for the thinnest skin on your body. Below is what every one is for, and what it will not do.

hyaluronic acid

the water holder

A sugar your skin already makes. It holds many times its own weight in water, which is why the area looks plumper and smoother the moment the patch comes off.

The most reliable thing in the formula, and the reason the effect is hours rather than weeks.

adenosine

the line softener

A compound found in every living cell. Korea's regulator recognises it at 0.04% for softening the look of fine lines, and that is exactly the level we use.

A number we can show you on the batch record rather than a claim on a box.

vitamin b3

the tone evener

Niacinamide, if you read labels. It helps the skin under your eye look brighter and less blotchy, and it is one of the best studied ingredients in skincare.

Gentle enough that there is no rest day and no build-up period.

green coffee caffeine

the morning de-puffer

The same molecule as your coffee, from unroasted beans. It works on the blue grey kind of shadow that comes from a short night, which is the kind most people have.

Less useful on pigment or a deep tear trough. We would rather say so.

tiger grass and vitamin b5

the calmers

Centella has been used on irritated skin for centuries. Panthenol is vitamin B5. Together they settle the area down, which matters under an occlusive patch.

Good after a facial, a long flight, or a week of not enough sleep.

ceramides

the barrier

Fats your skin makes itself and runs short of as you age. Putting them back is how a fifteen minute patch leaves the area comfortable rather than tight.

Identical to what your skin already uses, so there is nothing to get used to.

what we leave out

on purpose

No growth factors, no retinal, no fragrance, no essential oils, no acids. The skin under your eye is the thinnest on your body and an occlusive patch pushes whatever you apply straight into it.

Gold stays in the range. It is a colour, and we call it a colour.

The wear

fifteen minutes,
or as long as you like

on clean skin

Straight from the jar, cold. Sit the patch on the bone under your eye, not on the lid, and press the edges down. Morning or night, whichever fifteen minutes you actually have.

get on with things

Hydrogel grips properly, so you can make breakfast, answer emails and shout at a match in them. Talking a lot will shift them eventually; press them back down.

peel and pat in

Peel them off and pat in the light serum they leave behind. One wear each, then bin it: the gel has given up its water and it has been on a face.

Straight answers

the questions
we would ask

do under eye patches actually do anything?

For a few hours, yes, and it is worth being clear about which few hours. Hyaluronic acid pulls water into the top layers of skin, so the area looks plumper, smoother and brighter the moment you peel the patch off. That is real, it is measurable, and it is why people use these before a wedding, a flight or a photograph.

What they will not do is change the structure of your face permanently. Anyone selling you that is selling you something else.

can you really print a photograph on a gel patch?

Not fine photographic detail, and we would rather say so than find out with your money. What works is a printed layer bonded to the front face: bold shapes, strong colour, gradients, two tone and multi zone designs. That is what these are.

We are sampling full image printing now. It does not go on sale until it passes a twenty minute wear test on skin, a colour migration check, a staining check and stability at 40 degrees.

will the design smudge or transfer?

No. The print is bonded to the front face of the patch, pointing away from your skin, with the gel in between. It stays vibrant hours after the final whistle, it does not rub off onto your face, your pillow or your fingers, and nothing from it reaches the formula or the eye itself.

will this get rid of my dark circles?

It depends which kind you have, and most brands will not tell you that. Caffeine helps with the vascular sort, the blue grey look of a short night. If yours are pigment, or a shadow cast by a hollow under the eye, no patch on earth touches them. Hydration will still make the whole area look smoother and brighter for a few hours.

how is the pre-order priced?

Ten pairs are $39.99 once, or $22.99 on a three month cycle. Thirty pairs are $69.99 once, or $39.99 on the same cycle. Placing a pre-order is free: you are charged when your pack ships, and nothing goes out without an email first.

sensitive skin, pregnancy, men, contact lenses?

The formula was built to be boring in the best way: no fragrance, no essential oils, no retinal, no acids, no growth factors. That makes it a reasonable choice for sensitive skin and an easy one during pregnancy, though ask your midwife or doctor if you would rather be sure. Nothing about it is gendered. Contact lenses are fine, since the patch never touches your lid.

can I pre-order from outside the US?

Yes. Pick your country at the top of the address step and the rest of the fields change to match it, postcode and all. The first run posts worldwide, and placing a pre-order is free, so nothing is charged until your pack is on its way. Duties and local taxes, where a country charges them, are paid on delivery. A small number of destinations are off the list because we cannot legally post to them.

which clubs and countries can I get?

Over a hundred flags, available now. On the club side we hold the licences for this category, so the colourways are matched to the real kits and crest artwork is applied at production with each club's approval. If your club is not in the list yet, tell us and we will add it.
