I tried many patches, this one was far from one jar. I experimented with various Korean brands, and once I even tried Belarusian ones. I used it in completely different ways - a daily course for 30 days, until a standard jar with 60 patches was empty; as an SOS after a sleepless night; as an adjunct to grooming from time to time. I started using them about 1.5 years ago, if not more.
I had Shangpree patches (several different), Dewytree, Etude Organix, Elizavecca, Belita Vitex, Lancome hydrogels, Esfolio, Parli Sendo (from Fix Price).
Gold, black, green. Mostly hydrogel, but sometimes tissue. And once even liquid (just those from Fix Price), although I am still not sure that they can be called patches. Therefore, I gained not such a small experience, and I would like to share it with you. What have I learned while experimenting with patches?
All Korean patches within the same price segment plus minus are very similar
If you take one brand and look at several different patches from it, you will notice that there is no strong difference between them. They will have a very similar composition, usually the active components that flaunt in the name change: spirulina, snail secret (mucin), ginseng, gold particles and so on.
If we take different Korean brands, then patches in the same price range will differ only in color, smell and box. When it comes to hydrogel patches, it is very important to buy one that contains a lot of the essence in which they are located. I don't know by what principle it is poured into jars. One manufacturer in the same patches may have a different amount of essence, I have had this more than once.
Favorite are those patches where there is a lot of this liquid, and where the conditions of storage and transportation were observed, otherwise you cannot guess when buying.
It is more profitable to take 60 pieces
There are jars of patches, where there are 60 of them, and there are packs with a couple of patches at a time. There are such people among the Korean and Belarusian ones. I compared the Belarusian and Korean patches in terms of quality and I did not see the difference. Both those and those moisturized the skin about the same. But Belarusian ones cost 115 rubles per pair, and I buy Korean ones for 1000-1200 rubles for 60 pieces. There are also Korean single packs, they cost 90-110 rubles on average. Obviously, it is more profitable to take a jar of 60 patches at once, enough for 30 applications.
Will the patches remove bruises and puffiness?
There are 2 effective remedies for bruises under the eyes - these are fillers from a beautician and a concealer. Often bruises arise from the hollows under the eyes, here no mask will fill it, you need a professional hand and magic injections. How magical they are, I have not tested, but in fact it is also not a panacea, of course. There are contraindications and their own characteristics.
The patches will not remove blue under the eyes in any way, even if they are bleaching. The reason for the blue color is in thin skin, it just shines through this blue, it is useless to whiten the skin. I don't know those miracle women who write about getting rid of bruises with patches, witches, not otherwise.
They can cope with mild puffiness, which is not caused by serious health problems or a liter of water at night after salted herring. Especially if you put them cold, after the refrigerator. Rumor has it that tea bags can do the same.
