What are the pink Medicube eye patches?
Medicube PDRN Pink Caffeine Collagen Eye Patches are curved hydrogel patches for under-eye care. The pink jar contains 60 patches in 85 g of product.
Alongside the caffeine, PDRN and collagen in the name, the formula also contains retinol. That matters when introducing them into a routine, especially if you already use retinol elsewhere.
What is in the hydrogel formula?
The ingredient list includes niacinamide, panthenol, several collagen ingredients and sodium DNA, the ingredient behind the PDRN name. Caffeine and retinol are listed too.
Medicube describes the patches as care for the appearance of under-eye puffiness, fine lines and tired-looking skin. The hydrogel format holds the moisturizing formula against the area where you place it.
How long should you leave them on?
Medicube recommends about ten minutes, with evening use preferred.
- Place the patches beneath the eyes.
- Leave them on for about ten minutes, then remove them.
- Gently pat in the remaining essence. There is no need to rinse.
Introducing the retinol formula
If your skin is sensitive or you are new to retinol, Medicube recommends starting two or three times a week and increasing use as your skin adjusts. The brand also recommends a patch test before first use and a gradual introduction alongside other retinol products.
