17 Of The Best Under Eye Patches And Masks 2025 For Bright Eyes All Summer

• Why we love it: Per Instagram, Rhode’s new peptide eye patches are a part of Hailey Bieber’s everyday morning routine – but admittedly, the Rhode founder may be a bit biased. So, take it from an expert with no (under-eye) skin in the game: According to Rayva Khanna, MD, a dermatology resident at Georgetown University Medical Centre, “Rhode’s under-eye masks are cooling hydrogel patches perfect for morning use.” She explains that the eye treatment contains caffeine to constrict blood vessels and reduce puffiness. “They also contain hydrating powerhouses like sodium PCA and glycerin,” Khanna says. “The result is eyes that look refreshed, smooth, and awake in minutes.” A second endorsement comes from Kristina Collins, MD, a board-certified dermatologist and Mohs micrographic surgeon in Austin. “This formula is a standout for its blend of peptides and hydrating ingredients that help smooth and strengthen the delicate under-eye barrier,” she says. “It instantly refreshes tired eyes while creating the perfect base for concealer or makeup—ideal for morning prep.”
