What’s Inside Our Off-Duty Eye Patches?

Not all eye patches are created equal.

Some are mostly about the cooling feel. Some are cute for a quick self-care moment. But our Off-Duty Eye Patches were designed to go further — combining a smooth, cooling hydrogel texture with premium skincare actives typically found in high-performance serums.

Inside each individually sealed pair, you’ll find ingredients like Copper Peptides, PDRN, Caffeine, Centella, and hydrating skin-supporting actives — chosen specifically for tired-looking under-eyes, puffiness, dryness, and the look of fine lines.

The hydrogel texture helps the patches hug the delicate under-eye area comfortably while delivering an instant cooling effect. The formula helps refresh the look of tired eyes, support smoother-looking skin, and give your under-eyes that more awake, well-rested glow.

So if you’ve ever wondered what actually makes an eye patch worth using, we’re breaking it all down: what’s inside, why we chose these ingredients, and how they work together in your under-eye routine.

Hydration & Moisture Support

Under eyes are naturally thinner and drier than the rest of your face which means dehydration shows up fast, causing creasing, dullness, or fine lines.

That's why we loaded these patches with ingredients that help attract and hold moisture while supporting smoother-looking skin.

• Glycerin - One of skincare's best-known humectants. It pulls water into the skin and helps prevent moisture loss so under eyes look plumper and less crepey.
• Butylene Glycol - A lightweight hydrator that helps soften skin and improve absorption of other ingredients.
• Panthenol (Provitamin B5) - Hydrates, soothes, and helps support the skin barrier. This is especially important for delicate under eye skin.
• Beta-Glucan - A moisture-binding ingredient known for helping calm dryness while supporting skin repair.
• Hydrolyzed Collagen + Soluble Collagen - Forms of collagen that help improve hydration and give skin a smoother, more supple appearance.

Depuffing & Tired Eye Support

Puffiness is one of the biggest reasons people reach for eye patches in the first place.

Whether it's lack of sleep, stress, allergies, or just genetics, fluid retention under the eyes can make the whole face look more tired.

• Caffeine - The star ingredient for depuffing. Helps visibly reduce puffiness by temporarily constricting blood vessels and improving the appearance of tired-looking eyes.
• Avena Sativa (Oat) Extract - Known for its soothing properties, oat extract helps calm visible irritation and reduce the appearance of stress around the eye area.
• Portulaca Oleracea Extract - A botanical antioxidant that helps soothe skin while supporting overall skin comfort.

Fine Line Smoothing & Firmness Support

Under eye skin naturally loses elasticity over time, which is why fine lines and creasing become more noticeable with age and dehydration. This is where peptides come in.

• Acetyl Hecapeptide-8 - Often nicknamed "Boteox-like peptide", this ingredient helps soften the appearance of expression lines and crow's feet.
• Copper Tripeptide-1 - Our star ingredient. A well-known peptide that supports skin repair, firmness, and overall skin health. Frequently used in anti-aging skincare because of its skin-supportive properties.
• Tripeptide-1 - Helps support collagen production and improves the appearance of smoother, firmer skin.
• Pentapeptide-3 - A peptide designed to help improve elasticity and soften the appearance of fine lines over time.
• PDRN (Salmon DNA) - PDRN has become increasingly popular in advanced skincare because it’s associated with skin recovery support, hydration and barrier support. While PDRN is trending for a reason, we formulated these patches so it works alongside hydrating ingredients, peptides, and soothing agents, so it's not a standalone “miracle ingredient."

Soothing & Barrier Support

• Beta-Glucan - Known for helping calm stressed skin while supporting hydration.
• Oat Extract - A classic soothing ingredient often used for sensitive skin support.
• Panthenol - Supports barrier function and helps skin feel comfortable and hydrated.

Why Hydrogel Patches Matter

Ingredients are important but so is the patch itself!

Our hydrogel material helps:

• Lock hydration against the skin
• Improve ingredient contact time
• Create a cooling, refreshing feel
• Help active ingredients absorb more effectively

Ingredients like Carrageenan, Chondrus Crispus Extract, Gellan Gum, Glucomannan all help create the hydrogel texture that gives the patches their comfortable fit and skin-cooling effect.

The Bottom Line

We didn’t create these eye patches around hype ingredients alone.

Every ingredient was chosen with a purpose. From premium actives like Copper Peptides and PDRN to soothing, hydrating ingredients that help support the delicate under-eye area.

The result is a single-use hydrogel treatment designed to help tired-looking under-eyes feel replenished, supported, and refreshed while helping the skin look smoother, brighter, and more awake.

Because each pair is individually sealed, every treatment feels fresh, intentional, and ready whenever your under-eyes need a reset.
