Which throw in of under-eye patch material is best for me?
Patches are made of a variety of different materials, depending on the brand, explains Dr. Zeichner.
These range from gels to cellulose to collagen or even cotton.
Dr. Shamban suggests opting for patches made from hydrogel for morning use, and bio-cellulose for evening.
Hydrogel patches are hydrating and conform well to the contours of your skin, she explains.

This aids in the skin’s natural repair processes, she adds.
