‘I love using them in the morning before work or even after a long night—they make me look awake and rejuvenated in minutes.’
Grace & Stella has launched a brand new edition of the beauty brand’s bestselling under eye patches, formulated with Vitamin C to brighten dark circles and de-puff. The patches are also loaded with antioxidants to help fend off fine lines and wrinkles, as well as hyaluronic acid and carageenan to plump under-eyes and hydrate.
A pack of 24 pairs comes in at £19.95 at Amazon, equating to around 80p-per-use. Ideal to pop on in the mornings while going about daily tasks, customers say the patches do not slip or slide down the face – a problem often encountered with eye patches.
Said to be used to celebrities including Jessica Alba, the grace & stella Vitamin C patches help leave skin glowing and radiant, whether having a no-makeup day or applying some glam. Users should only need to keep the under eye patches on for 15 to 20 minutes to see and feel results.
As the new version Vitamin C masks have recently dropped, reviews are not yet in abundance, however, feedback so far is largely positive. One person said: “I’ve been looking for something to use consistently in the morning to just refresh my under-eye area so that it’s make-up ready, but something that works quickly as it gets busy with kids in tow.
“Honestly these orange patches left my under eye area feeling so bright and refreshed, I left them on for a couple of minutes and that’s all I needed. Concealer applied beautifully. This has quickly become a staple in my morning routine skin prep.”

grace & stella have launched a new Vitamin C version of the bestselling under eye gel patches.
A second shopper shared: “The best way to start my morning. Nothing better than an intentional moment for yourself right at the beginning of your day – especially one that feels so cooling and hydrating! My eyes are immediately refreshed. I don’t feel like it’s a proper morning now without these.”
Travel-friendly and convenient, shoppers can take these away when travelling, or pop in a bag and take to the gym for a post-workout refresh. Customers confirm they feel cooling on the eyes in the summer, particularly when stored in the fridge.
Someone explained: “I love these eye masks – such a great bright colour and they really do make my eyes brighter and more refreshed in the morning. Especially recommend keeping them in the fridge – so good in the hot weather.”
Getting the eye patches out involves peeling the packaging open, which some found ‘can be messy’. Giving some advice, a customer wrote: “I found it much less sloppy to lay it flat so the patches are on top of the inner tray when slid out.”
Some people may prefer under eye patches that come in a pot with a spatula to scoop them out. The Biodance Collagen Peptide Eye Patches are an example of this, retailing for £18.90 at Boots.
A pack contains 30 pairs, 60p-per-use, and helps to improve the look of skin firmness and vitality around the eyes. There’s also the Beauty of Joseon Revive Ginseng Eye Patches, 30 pairs for £17 at LookFantastic (50p-per-use). Enriched with ginseng extract, the eye patched help reduce visible puffiness an signs of fatigue.
There are several features for the grace & stella eye patches that shoppers praise, one being that the patches are large enough to work on a large area. A happy customer wrote: “I was pleased with how large the patches are, and they cover good amount of skin under the eye.”
Another pointed out they are practical, commenting: “They stayed in place well and didn’t slide down, so I was able to carry on with things and not have to lie down while wearing them.”
