the four steps
Total active time: about ninety seconds.
- 1. Start clean and dry. Any oil, cream, or leftover makeup stops the patch adhering.
- 2. Place, don't stretch. The thicker end sits toward the inner corner, about a fingertip's width below the lash line — never on the lash line itself.
- 3. Wait fifteen minutes. Twenty at the outside. Past that the patch dries and starts taking moisture back.
- 4. Tap, don't wipe. Press the remaining serum into the skin with the ring finger and leave it.
the mistakes that waste a patch
Applying to damp skin, leaving them on for an hour, reusing a single-use pair, placing them too close to the eye, and using them straight from a warm bathroom cupboard rather than the fridge. Each one costs you most of the effect.
how often to use them
Two to three mornings a week is a comfortable baseline; daily is fine with a gentle, fragrance-free formula. Use one the morning after short sleep, a salty dinner, a flight, or before anything photographed.
