Eye Masks
Instant Eye Revival with Eye Masks
Eye masks are targeted treatments designed to refresh and hydrate the under-eye area. Typically used as a quick boost, they deliver concentrated ingredients to help improve the look of puffiness, dryness, and tired-looking eyes. At ARC, this category includes options from brands like COSRX, Laneige, Dolce & Gabbana, Shiseido, and Sisley Paris.
When to Use Eye Masks
Eye masks can be used whenever your under-eye area needs extra attention, whether that is after a late night, before an event, or as part of a regular weekly routine. They are typically applied after cleansing and left on for a short period to allow the ingredients to absorb.
Options like COSRX Peptide Collagen Hydrogel Eye Patch focus on hydration and smoothing the appearance of the under-eye area, while the Advanced Snail Hydrogel Eye Patch is designed to soothe and support moisture levels. Overnight formats, like Laneige Bouncy & Firm Eye Brightening Sleeping Mask, are intended as the final step in your routine, working while you sleep to leave the eye area looking more refreshed by morning.
Patch Masks vs Full Eye Masks
Hydrogel patches are the most common format, sitting comfortably under the eyes to deliver a concentrated serum. They are easy to incorporate into your routine, whether you are getting ready or taking a moment to relax. Ingredients like caffeine are often included to help reduce the appearance of puffiness, as seen in Dolce & Gabbana No Puff Caffeine Eye Patches.
Full eye masks or treatment masks tend to offer a more intensive approach, often focusing on hydration, smoothing, and overall skin comfort. Options like Shiseido Vital Perfection Uplifting & Firming Express Eye Mask and Sisley Paris Eye Contour Mask are designed to address multiple concerns in one step, with a focus on leaving the eye area looking smoother and more refreshed.
