Eye patches are magical–especially for a gal like me with a propensity for late night writing. Evenings spent staring at a backlit screen leave my tired eyes dark and puffy come sunrise. (And no, these bags are not designer.) Naturally, I’ve been on the hunt for the best eye patches on the market, testing out popular picks and bestsellers. From cult favourites to A-list preferred patches, read on for six products that leave even the most fatigued under-eyes looking and feeling (say it with me: Abracadabra!) good as new.

 

Best energizing

grace & stella eye masks
My tired eyes don’t stand a chance against these luxe gold eye patches by Grace & Stella. They scream “self-care” and pair perfectly with a beverage of choice. The smoothing powers of hyaluronic acid and anti-inflammatory properties of chondrus crispus powder will leave you wondering, “What sorcery is this?”

Best brightening

Beyond their beautiful golden sheen, these Peter Thomas Roth hydra-gel eye patches *actually* work to brighten (read: banish) bags. I used them after an all-nighter and felt instantly refreshed by the cooling sensation these provide upon application. Bonus: they don’t slide down your face.

 

Best depuffing

Blanket under-eyes in comforting moisture with these Pixi depuffing eye patches. They may feel liquid-y at first, but once the product sinks into the skin these patches feel so calming and cooling you won’t want to take them off. Infused with the smoothing powers of caffeine, you can kiss darkness goodbye.

Best A-list patches

After just one use of these award-winning Wander Beauty eye patches, I could tell why these babies are preferred by celebrity makeup artists. They mold perfectly to the under-eyes and sit firmly, applying lymphatic draining pressure while soaking under eyes in the goodness of hyaluronic acid.

 

Best value

My instant reaction to these rosy, pink patches: Heart eyes. Decidedly chic, they give your morning routine a touch of glamour while brightening dark circles at an affordable price. With 30 pairs to a pack, these eye masks are the best bang for your buck.

Best anti-aging

More Recommendations
A triple threat, these Velamo eye masks hydrate, firm and brighten at once. Packed with the anti-aging properties of advanced retinol collagen, they smooth out fine lines and crow’s feet. Akin to the satisfaction of a fresh haircut, I found myself marveling at the silky, radiant appearance of my under-eyes after just one use.
