Within the skincare routine, the eye contour deserves special care. This delicate area is one of the first to reflect the passage of time, since its skin is thinner and is subject to constant movements when gesturing. Therefore, keeping it hydrated and taking care of it daily is essential. Although the eye contour is a daily staple, patches for this area become great allies when we are looking for extra care. This intensive treatment helps improve the appearance of the lower part of the eyes, providing hydration and a fresher, more rested appearance.
Currently we find many options in terms of eye patches and there is no perfumery or supermarket that does not opt for this type of format. In Mercadona, there are hydrogel patches that are designed to blur expression lines and improve the appearance of the contour. We are talking about the Anti-Wrinkle Hydrogel Patches with gold and peptides (1.75 euros).
The interesting thing about this type of patch is that its format allows the treatment formula to remain in direct contact with the skin for the entire time and the occlusive effect of the patch helps better penetration of the active ingredients. In addition, they not only enhance the ingredients but also help soften expression lines in the area thanks to deeper hydration.
Peptides are in fashion
In recent years we have seen how some ingredients have gained a lot of popularity, such as hyaluronic acid, retinol or peptides. The latter are the protagonists of Mercadona's anti-aging patches. Specifically, we find in its formula sh-Oligopeptide-1, a peptide related to epidermal growth factor (EGF). This ingredient stimulates cell regeneration and improves skin elasticity, which is why its regenerating and anti-aging action stands out in these Deliplus patches.
Another ingredient that attracts attention in these anti-aging patches is gold, a component used in cosmetics for its antioxidant effect and its attractive luminous finish. The formula is completed with other ingredients such as glycerin and allantoin, two active ingredients known for their moisturizing and conditioning properties, which help keep the skin soft, flexible and comfortable.
Instructions for use
Using patches of this type is very simple and to us it seems like the perfect excuse to spend a little time. The skin must always be clean and dry before placing them, and for perfect action, the patches are fitted to the lower part of the eye contour, from the tear duct outwards.
After leaving it on for 20 minutes and removing, the brand recommends gently massaging the remaining product until it is completely absorbed. You can gently pat it with your fingertips to promote absorption and improve circulation in the area.
