Baciel states that these eye patches were created to fulfill dual functions in mind: Brightening and anti wrinkling. The used ingredients are supposed to be soothing, reduce the look of dark circles, puffiness and wrinkles, as well as protect the eye area.

These patches can be applied on various areas of your body, I personally use them on my neck and chest areas as my face is too sensitive.
The ingredient list also includes Niacinamide which is not advertised by the brand but this would provide the brightening effects. I wonder if the sea water is richer in high mineral content than just plain water. The hydrolized collagen is there to provide hydration, as topically applied collagen will not boost the skin's own collagen levels.
Overall, I feel my skin is nice and plumped after using these. I enjoy the slightly cooling effect these patches provide on my skin. I find the scent is quite subtle, green and floral. I am not a huge fan of fragrance in my facial skincare products since I have sensitive skin. The patches slip and slide off my face, especially if I use a serum underneath, as I do not have the facial structure to maintain these in place (mind you, I have straight cheeks).
You can find these eye patches on Amazon. Prices can fluctuate but at the moment of this review they retail for ยฃ18.41.

I find these patches quite fiddly to use. The patches slide off my face very easily, especially with other skincare products layered underneath.
I was a bit surprised to find out that this product contains fragrance. It is definitely worth taking in consideration whether you have sensitive skin or are prone to allergies. Patch test first before slapping these on your face.
This product has a short PAO (Period After Opening) of just 3 months. This means that one has to binge on wearing these or share these with your family members.
Considering that I have sensitive skin and have two skin conditions, I find this product unsuitable for my face, which the product is intended to use. For this reason I will not repurchase these patches for myself but I would consider purchasing them for a loved one.
