If you think you have dry, thin or wrinkled under-eyes colloquially called crepey skin , because it resembles crepe paper you might be able to stymie some of those natural age aesthetics . Or at least, so say many users of these retinol-infused under-eye patches from Enaskin Naturals . They feel very lightweight and comfy, soak in completely without any greasy residue and leave my under-eyes feeling hydrated with no harsh side effects, says one reviewer  whos incorporated them into their skincare routine. [] my under-the-eye skin definitely looks smoother and softer after using each time.

After a nighttime cleansing , just tack these under your eyes and let them sit for 20 minutes, two to three times a week, to hydrate your skin and potentially remove dark eye circles and improve elasticity. Several reviewers say theyre gentle and great for anyone with sensitive skin, but were here to tell you the best part: Theyre 15% off right now after clipping the on-page coupon and only cost $13.59 for 30 pairs of patches. Thats about $1.50 per treatment. And if youre using these, say, two times a week, thats about a two-month supply. Thats saving money and the potential to save your skin.

These patches contain a potent concoction to moisturize your skin and possibly decrease the appearance of wrinkles, puffy eyes and dark circles, including hyaluronic acid, collagen, glycerin and vitamin E. Many users say they prefer putting these patches on at night, and because retinol is most effective away from daytime UV rays (you knew that, right?), we think its best. Some also say they store their patches in the fridge for an extra-cooling sensation when applying.

I find using these roughly once a week it improves the hydration around my eyes, plumping the skin around my eyes and lessening the crepey appearance of that thinner skin, says an Amazon customer . Its not a miracle worker, but it does make a desirable change.

Read on for more promising reviews of the Enaskin Naturals under-eye patches:

These under-eye patches/mini eye masks are great for those with sensitive/dry skin but still want to try retinol! They feel very lightweight and comfy, soak in completely without any greasy residue, and leave my under-eyes feeling hydrated with no harsh side effects (non-irritating). While I havent seen a huge difference in my under eye wrinkles or crepey skin yet (I think that will come with time and consistency), my under the eye skin definitely looks smoother and softer after using each time. Tip: wash your face, dry thoroughly and and skip the moisturizer beforehand, otherwise they wont stick and will slip down. Overall, a great gentle retinol option for sensitive eyes!  wishupon20

 

These are great! Wife got them initially and suggested I try them. Fell in love pretty quickly. I enjoy using these in the morning to help wake up the under eye area and reduce the baggy/sagginess, especially after a late night. I find these to be very refreshing, cooling, and rejuvenating for my skin, without causing burning or irritation to my eyes. They help to tighten and moisturize the skin, and leaves my face feeling refreshed and ready for the day. I put on my moisturizer after these. Ive used other creams for the eyes that make my eyes burn and water all day, and with these I have no such problems, which is really nice. They can be a little slippery at first, but I find after a few minutes and once the initial wetness has absorbed, they stick pretty well where I want them to. Overall, a great product and I highly recommend!   Billy Bob

 

These work well, and as advertised. I keep mine in the refrigerator for added cooling effects. I find using these roughly once a week it improves the hydration around my eyes, plumping the skin around my eyes, and lessening the crepey appearance of that thinner skin. Its not a miracle worker, but it does make a desirable change.  Amazon Customer

 

My wife bought this and this is her statement: sorry I dont do pictures of self on any cyber networks however I can tell you I was getting down about the little lines showing up and dark circles. I used them yesterday and left on for 29 minutes plus because they were so comfortable I forgot...lol when I took them off the difference was day and night...my lines were gone and my skin radiated with a nice glow...so please with this product and I buying more... then I tried it on lip area just to see if the lines would diminish and people yes yes yes I am so happy .... this whatever they put in here does work they way it says it does and now I can feel good and it makes my over all appearance so much more healthier looking  Bear E

 

 

Ive never used these under eye patches. But this brand had many great reviews so I felt comfortable making the purchase, and I was soooo happy I did!!! They feel SO moisturizing, and the difference between b4 and after will amaze you! My makeup went on so much more smoothly, and that is hard to do when you have 65 year old eyes. I will never purchase any other pads for the rest of my life! Buy them, you wont be disappointed!  Denise T.

 

Looking to invest a little more into your skin care regimen to address creepy skin? Heres a list of dermatologist-recommended finds from HuffPost Shopping reporter, Tessa Flores .

1
A popular skin barrier-strengthening cream

Board-certified and Texas-based dermatologist Dr. Seemal R. Desai at Innovative Dermatology previously spoke to HuffPost specifically about crepey skin and suggested the ever-favorite CeraVe moisturizing cream as a good hydrator for this particular skin concern.

"I recommend moisturizing with thick emollients, which helps to replace the ceramides and lipid concentration in the skin, which can help with overall skin hydration," Desai said. "I really like the CeraVe moisturizing brand line, and I recommend the creams over lotions. One of my favorite moisturizers in the entire world, and one I recommend to patients every day, is the CeraVe Moisturizing Cream. Its a rich, non-greasy and fast-absorbing cream that releases a steady stream of moisturizing ingredients, including essential ceramides and hyaluronic acid. Its also fragrance-free, so its great for even the most sensitive skin types.

2
A neck cream with a blend of five peptides

Dr. Elaine F. Kung , board-certified dermatologist and founder of Future Bright Dermatology in New York, suggested the Nectifirm firming neck treatment (containing the famed antioxidants C and E) by Revision Skincare, a brand whose product offerings have been suggested to us before.

The formula features plant extracts and five different peptides which Kung explained are amino acids used as the building blocks for collagen production in the skin. The result is skin that appears more lifted, feels firmer and more resilient.

3
A highly rated retinol cream

"Retinol has been scientifically proven to thicken both the epidermis and the dermis," Kung said. "It also stimulates the production of collagen and elastin within the dermis." In order to find a suitable retinol-containing product we turned to a previous suggestion from Dr. Y. Claire Chang , a board-certified cosmetic dermatologist at Union Square Laser Dermatology.

This rapid wrinkle repair cream by Neutrogena uses an accelerated retinol complex to promote cellular turnover. It also contains a hydrating dose of hyaluronic acid, an ingredient suggested by Kung, and can be suitable in treating crepey skin.

Note that if you're new to retinols , they do have the potential to cause mild flaking and irritation in the first couple weeks of use. They can also cause skin to be more sensitive to the sun, so it's important to wear sunscreen .

4
A collagen-boosting serum

Speaking of collagen and its essential role in skin elasticity, Kung also recommended this supercharged collagen-boosting serum formulated to make complexions dewy and plump so lines look less obvious and skin feels less dry. It uses a brand-exclusive 10% peptide complex as well as soothing aloe, collagen and hyaluronic acid, an tried-and-true humectant that helps to draw moisture into the skin to keep it hydrated.

5
A peptide and retinol neck complex

Dr. Navin Arora , a board-certified dermatologist and founder of Borealis Dermatology in New York, as well as Kung, suggested this neck-specific formula by SkinCeuticals , a clinical skin care brand that frequently comes with dermatologist's stamp of approval for their effective formulas.

"[It's] an amazing combination of retinol and peptides that is specifically formulated to tighten delicate neck skin," Arora said of this daily cream that contains a 0.2% concentration of slow-release retinol, a time-honored ingredient that accelerates the skin's cellular turnover rate, promoting collagen production. Hydrating seed oils are supplemented with a 5% glaucine complex, a plant-derived ingredient that can support skin's natural resistance to premature aging.

6
Skinbetter Science
A cream that targets three main neck skin concerns

According to Arora, the Techno Neck Perfecting Cream by Skinbetter Science is popular product that improves crepiness, dryness, sagging, laxity and texture in the skin of the neck and dcollet. "A key ingredient is heptapeptide-7, a targeted peptide that supports the skin's collagen network," he said.


The formula contains a smart combination of hydroxy acids and a uniquely formulated form of vitamin A that's similar to retinol, but won't cause excess irritation. You can also expect a whole host of ingredients that can improve the look and feel of skin from niacinamide, a faithful brightener, squalane, an emollient to help skin retain moisture and a targeted peptide to plump fine lines.

7
Alastin Skincare
An elastin- and collagen-promoting neck complex

Recommended by Kung, Alastin's Restorative Neck Complex claims to be a "next-generation skin tightener" that's specifically designed to address crepey skin on the neck and chest while also fighting redness and discoloration.

The product's power lies in a blend of active peptides that work to support the production of collagen and elastin. There's also the addition of phytoene and phytofluene, two powerful antioxidants that protect the skin from collagen-depleting stressors.

8
A brightening and firming vitamin C serum

"Vitamin C is a cofactor in collagen synthesis. Its antioxidant properties help protect skin cells from sun and environmental damage," Kung said, of this well-studied ingredient that can do everything from evening skin tone to addressing dullness and fine lines.

Though Kung didn't recommend a specific vitamin C-containing product, New York City-based board-certified dermatologist, Dr. Brendan Camp previously suggested this 15%-concentrated serum by Dr. Dennis Gross.

It also features lactic acid, a chemical exfoliant that can help address irregular skin texture and increase product absorption thereby enhancing antioxidant potential.

9
A derm-trusted tinted sunscreen

Both Kung and Arora stressed the importance of prevention when it comes to managing crepey skin, specifically when it comes to the damaging potential of the sun.

"Use sunscreen with zinc and titanium oxide," Kung said. "UV exposure breaks down collagen and elastin in skin that help it stay tight and firm. Once these fibers break down, the skin can loosen, thin and wrinkle."

Camp (along with several other dermatologists in the past) previously suggested this sunscreen from Elta MD , which according to him, can also shield skin from visible UV rays in overhead lighting because of its tinted formula.

The zinc oxide- and octinoxate-based formula features SPF 46 along with high-purity niacinamide, a well-known anti-inflammatory that reduces redness and helps to restore damaged skin.

10
A UPF 50+ -infused neck scarf

While on the topic of sun protection for your neck, Camp previously said that you should consider wearing a scarf or neck gaiter made of lightweight UPF fabric. "Ultraviolet protection factor (UPF) fabrics provide protection by blocking the suns rays. Sun scarves and neck gaiters can complement an SPF moisturizer," he said.

Based on his suggestion, we found this gender-neutral bandana made from a soft and cool UPF fabric blocks 98% of the sun's harmful UVA and UVB rays. It comes in four colors like black, apricot and white.
