Korean Eye Creams & Eye Patches

How to choose a Korean eye cream

Choose by what you see in the mirror. For the look of fine lines, retinoid formulas such as the Beauty of Joseon Revive Eye Serum: Ginseng + Retinal and the Some By Mi Retinol Intense Advanced Triple Action Eye Cream are good places to start. For dark circles and dullness, try the Tocobo Collagen Brightening Eye Gel Cream or the Medicube Kojic Acid Turmeric Vita Eye Gel Serum, a gel serum with retinol and caffeine. The Pyunkang Yul Black Tea Time Reverse Eye Cream uses fermented black tea for a smoother-looking eye area.

For a quick morning refresh, the Petitfee Gold Hydrogel Eye Patch and Petitfee Gold & Snail Hydrogel Eye Patch feel cool on tired under-eyes, while the Genabelle PDRN 360 Rejuvenating Eye Mask covers the upper lid too. Lashes get their own step with the Dr.Althea Eye Lash Boost Serum.

Can I use retinol around my eyes?

Pick a formula made for the eye area, start a few nights a week and patch test first. Retinoids can increase sun sensitivity, so wear sunscreen daily.

How long do I leave eye patches on?

Follow the directions on the jar. Petitfee describes its Gold & Snail patches as a 15-minute moisture recharge for dry under-eyes.

Can someone help me choose?

How to use it in your routine

Tap eye cream on with your ring finger after serum and before moisturizer. Use patches on clean skin. For more, see anti-aging and firming picks, the Night Routine and daily sunscreen.
