I'm a big believer in getting a good night's sleep and taking full advantage of that time by using sleeping masks aka overnight skin treatments to sleep my way to better skin. I typically use sleeping masks several times a week to boost hydration and address certain issues but I've realized that I could probably also be doing more for my eyes besides getting adequate sleep. I've been trying to use patch style under eye masks which are like a smaller version of sheet masks designed to specifically treat the delicate eye area to help with issues like dryness, firmness puffiness, dark circles when I remember but they can be a hassle because most of them generally will fall off if you don't stay still. This is an issue for me because I usually like to perform other tasks when I have a sheet mask on. The VIIcode O2M Oxygen Eye Mask solves that issue since it is designed to be used while you sleep and they sent it to me to try.
$56.99 (Box with 6 treatments)

How To Use
Make sure your eye area is clean, dry and free of any creams or serums so that the mask can adhere better to the skin. Peel the protective film off the eye masks. Place each eye mask about 3mm below the lower eyelid, from the inner corner to the outer corner of the eyes. Gently massage the eye area from the inner corner to the outer corner of the eyes for 2 minutes. For best results, wear the masks 6 - 8 hours while sleeping. If you feel uncomfortable sleeping with the masks on, wear them 2 - 4 hours during the day or before bed. To remove, gently peel off the eye mask starting from the inside.
Packaging: VIIcode O2M Eye Masks are sold in a set of six treatments per box that are individually sealed inside a foil packet.
My Impressions: These eye masks are designed to be used as a night time treatment or a treatment while you sleep. If you're using it overnight, the effects will be boosted as the nutrients will have a longer time to hydrate and repair. Each mask set is individually packaged in a foil bag. I like to apply them about a half an before bed. They're a patch style, made of a light membrane type material that have a gel-like feel and a slight cooling sensation upon application. The mask pieces are sticky enough adhere to the skin and stay in place but gentle enough that you can easily reposition them if needed. I tend move around a bit when I sleep and they have stayed in place through the night.
When I've been using these, I notice that my undereye area appears smoother, plumper and more refreshed the next morning and I look more well rested as well. I think with continued use, it would probably build up a cumulative effect. The mask itself is very easy to use, soothing and hydrating and I didn't experience any sensitivity to it. For best results, the brand recommends using a mask 2 - 3 times a week with 3 boxes for a full course of treatment for best results. While this would be great, it would also be expensive. While it's not totally prohibitive, personally I would consider this more of a splurge treatment at this time that can be used as needed. It is a nice way to treat yourself.

It sounds very promising I need to look and try it. I have to be honest it kind of remind me of Murad under eye mask but easier to use because Murad come with a liquid that you need to apply on the under eye mask this one is only to apply that a plus for convenience and that it works.
Adding to my cart now.
Great Tip
Thanks as always for the heads up on these great skin care products, chingu:) This does sound lovely and I like the packaging but as you said, this is definitely a splurge with that price. I haven't done anything specific for the eye area lately....aaaaaack:( Time to change that soon!
Have a lovely weekend:)
