What the gurus are saying

The filmy texture draws the sharpest criticism, with reports that these patches offer little hydration and leave a heavy feeling. Views split on the wider appeal, since some find them a fun self-care ritual that soothes and de-puffs, while others say they will not fix dark circles or fine lines alone. The one thing to keep in mind is the $75 price, which is hard to justify when other patches get more praise.

"The gold under eye patches in particular became super popular. Not only were they effective, but they were also very photogenic, which made them perfect for the social media era that was just beginning."

"They are bougie. My opinion on eye masks overall is that they're a nice pleasant experience, are they going to get rid of dark circles, premature aging, all that stuff? Not really. That's more so going to be done in like eye serum and eye cream or even just like a face serum applied on the under-eye area. But you know, they're like a fun self-care ritual that you know either helps you feel ready for the day or ready for bed. So I get their appeal, but my opinion on them is kind of indifferent."

"The gold ones are just like the opposite of hydrating. They're just very filmy and you take them off and you feel like you need a shower."

Trying The Peter Thomas Roth Cucumber Gel Mask

"Peter Thomas Roth also has these under eye patches that are gold do not waste your money on those they are no good. They're like the worst under eye patches I have ever come across. The [...] gold ones are just really filmy. They don't really offer much hydration. They kind of feel like you have stuck deli meat under your eyes if I'm being honest. [...] They are a pass."

"These are 75 dollars, and the claim is that they're inspired by Queen Cleopatra. They're fine, don't get me wrong, that's why you see them in an empties video, but 75 dollars for eye gels claiming to be inspired by Cleopatra is a lot."

"I love that he went in with those. I do eye masks before I get on camera because it really does help to soothe and de-puff your face. If you're dealing with anything like any fine lines or wrinkles or anything you will benefit so much from locking that hydration in because it'll just temporarily lock everything in and then plump it in turn so then you just look like you've got fuller skin, like your skin looks like it's fuller."

"These eye patches contain water, glycerin, carrageenan, and sodium hyaluronate, which are hydrating. There's also colloidal gold, caffeine as a vasoconstrictor, and niacinamide, which can help with darkness underneath the eyes. [...] These aren't horrible, but I just wouldn't spend seventy-five dollars on them. There are many other eye patches that I like a lot better."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Niacinamide

Niacinamide has evidence behind it for redness, uneven tone and supporting the skin barrier, and it is usually well tolerated even by skin that reacts to most things.

Sunscreen filters

Sun protection is the best evidenced way to slow visible ageing, and the filters are what does the work. Mineral and chemical filters both protect when a product is applied thickly enough and often enough, which is where most people fall short rather than on the choice of filter.

Humectants and emollients

Ingredients like these draw water into the surface layers and slow how fast it leaves. The evidence is for comfort, softness and hydration rather than for changing the structure of the skin.
