Moisturize till you drop!

Harper's Bazaar India

The skin under your eyes is the most delicate and it’s the first to show signs of trauma. When we’re stressing about something, staying up until the wee hours of the morning, not drinking enough water—dark circles are just waiting around the corner to pop up. And suddenly, you’re stuck wasting half your morning applying and setting concealer. Your cue to saying hello to under eye care products! 

Super hydrating, targetted moisturizers and patches that are powerful weapons against wrinkles, fine lines and dark circles, we narrowed it down further to look at K-beauty products (with ingredients like snail filtration and hyaluronic acid) that are fighting these undereye evils with hydration and moisture. Scroll down and fill your cart!

Let them sit for about 20 minutes before removing the patches and tapping in the excess serum. Regular usage will get rid of fine lines, work on dark circles, and improve skin’s PH balance, paving the way for brighter skin.
