Features and principle of operation
Hydrogel eye patches from Korea are an express care cosmetic that provides the necessary intensity of exposure to the periorbital area of the face. It is here that the means used should be as delicate as possible. Korean cosmetics differs from European ones in that their effectiveness is achieved with the help of a high concentration of biologically active substances. Patches are no exception - they are stored in such a way as to be in constant contact with the whey impregnation.
According to their purpose, these thin applicator plates can be regenerating, moisturizing, rejuvenating, eliminating swelling, nourishing. The hydrogel-based patches gradually release the nutrients inside the skin as they come into contact with the skin. If you leave them for a longer time, the plates dry out noticeably, and the skin tightens.
A hydrogel - natural or artificial - is a polymerized substance that absorbs well and releases the valuable components of the product.Patches made from it are more suitable for combating pronounced changes on the skin - wrinkles, loss of density, bags under the eyes.

Application frequency
Korea hydrogel patches are recommended to use courses for 30-60 days... Carrying out the procedure in this case it is necessary 1-2 times during the week. This is true for hydrogel patches with hyaluronic acid and collagen, which have a cumulative effect.

Review overview
Reviews of cosmetologists about hydrogel-based patches can be called positive. Specialists use in their work special patches with an increased volume of packaging of funds. The concentration of active substances in professional patches is also higher. But even in this case, it is, first of all, an express tool, and not at all a panacea. Hyaluronic acid patches are often used to achieve a cumulative effect in complex rejuvenation programs.
According to ordinary buyers, hydrogel-based patches are the most convenient in their class of products. They moisturize and nourish the skin well; during the procedure, they have an additional compressive effect on the facial tissues. For young skin, according to the experience of consumers, products with collagen or seaweed, gold particles are better suited. If age-related changes are already clearly visible, hyaluronic acid patches are the best choice. Means based on snail mucin, snake venom help fight severe wrinkles, including those of a mimic nature.
Hydrogel patches do a pretty good job of treating swelling, but they don't remove dark circles under the eyes - for this it is better to use special brightening products. Buyers note that not all products adhere equally well to the skin.
It is noted that with intensely pronounced age-related changes, it is better to choose funds with the longest exposure time. The minimum 20-30 minutes may not be enough corny.
Hydrogel patches do their job well. But without additional care and regular repetition of procedures, it will not be possible to achieve an impressive result.
