Best Under-Eye Patches for Puffiness
Morning puffiness is fluid retention. Cold + caffeine constricts capillaries and drains the lymph. Patches that work for puffiness all share one ingredient — and one application trick.
Puffy under-eyes are almost always fluid retention — not fat, not loose skin. The fix is mechanical: cold the area to constrict the capillaries, and caffeine to keep them constricted while you go about your morning. Every patch in our top picks delivers caffeine. The differentiator is how cold they get (chill them in the fridge for 5x the effect) and how well they stay put on a face that’s about to apply concealer.
