It's no surprise that tired eyes need some serious TLC after a long string of Zoom meetings, jumping down social media rabbit holes, and general lack of sleep. Here's a well-kept skincare secret to help them look their brighter and more awake: using the best under-eye patches and masks.

These small but mighty essentials are made with hardworking ingredients, like caffeine, hyaluronic acid, and calendula to lift and de-puff while minimizing fine lines and dark circles. And to add to their already effective beauty benefits, these patches are not-so-secret weapons in guarding your face makeup against potential eyeshadow fallout—which is why you'll likely catch your favorite celebrity showcasing a pair on Instagram or TikTok before hitting the red carpet.

"Some of my favorite eye patches to use on myself and clients are from Valerie Beverly Hills, since they're made with cucumber, arnica and algae," celebrity aesthetician and founder of Angela Caglia Integrated Beauty, Angela Caglia tells BAZAAR.com. "They're perfect to use before eye makeup to hydrate and de-puff while keeping the delicate eye area free of falling makeup."

If you have dry skin or are looking to boost the benefits of under-eye patches, Caglia recommends going a step further with your skincare regimen and incorporating a facial tool. "I recommend using what's referred to as an infusion driver, like a facial roller or Gua Sha. I usually reach for my Rose Quartz Rosebud Eye Treatment Set on clients, as its very cold naturally, which helps stimulate blood flow and ultimately minimize puffiness while penetrating the eye area even further."

To give your eyes a little relief, we've rounded up some of the most effective and editor-tested under-eye patches and masks available, from popular beauty brands like Augustinus Bader and Skyn Iceland.
