When you’re under a lot of stress, the first place it shows up is under your eyes. The dark circles bloom and your under-eye skin becomes paper-thin and puffy. And then everyone starts telling you how “tired” you look. Because telling someone they look exhausted is totally helpful. As if you didn’t already know that. If your usual evening under-eye cream and morning caffeine serum isn’t lessening those stubborn dark circles, you should turn to the heavy-hitters. The best under-eye gel pads will give that TLC you desperately need.

These little gels soothe and rejuvenate that delicate skin. They’re usually cooling, which also helps de-puff the skin. Containing powerhouse ingredients like collagen, Vitamin C, hyaluronic acid, eye gels try to moisturize, restore elasticity and fill in those wrinkles—all at the same time. We even found a pick that includes 24K gold, because you’re worth it. These gels usually stay underneath your eyes for 10-20 minutes, providing you with a mini-self-care moment while you’re watching your guilty pleasure show or winding down with a glass of wine. You’ll no longer wear your stress on your face.
