Customer review:
"Ilovethese little patches. When I have a rough night of sleep or wake up really early and need to pep up my under-eyes, I pop a set of these on and let the magic happen. I believe the directions say to leave them on for five minutes, but I usually end up leaving the on closer to 10." —JMM2
