How to use it

Four steps, every other evening.

  1. 01Clean, dry skinNo oil, no eye cream underneath. The crescent needs bare skin to sit flat against.
  2. 02Place themTear open a sachet and lay one under each eye, along the orbital bone, not over the lash line. Press the edges outward so no air is trapped.
  3. 03Twenty minutesThey stay put. Get on with your evening.
  4. 04Lift and smoothPeel slowly from the outer corner. Smooth what is left along the bone, keeping it out of the eye itself. Nothing to rinse.

    I keep the box on the bathroom shelf and it has become the every-other-evening marker of my week. Twenty minutes with the crescents on, phone down, and the area under my eyes looks brighter and less puffy for the evening. It reads as a small luxury and that is exactly what it is.

  • Astrid, 41

    Verified purchase

    The gel is cool and surprisingly thick. It stays put while I potter around. What sold me is the honesty of the wording on the box: it talks about the appearance of dark circles, not miracles, and the appearance is genuinely better on the evenings I wear them.

  • Chiara

    Verified purchase

    Lovely ritual and the under-eye area looks smoother right after. One star off because the crescents slide a little if I lean over the sink. Lying down they behave perfectly.

  • Maren, 52

    Verified purchase

    I was sceptical about the gold until I opened a sachet. The crescent really is gold from edge to edge, not a clear gel with glitter in it. Cooling, comfortable, and my concealer sits better afterwards.

  • Sofia, 29

    Verified purchase

    Bought the one-month box after a stretch of short nights. The look of puffiness in the morning is noticeably softer on the days after I use them. I would love a travel sleeve for the sachets. They come sealed in pairs, which is practical but not handbag-pretty.

  • Anne, 47

    The twenty minutes is the product as much as the gold is. It is the only moment of the day nobody asks me for anything. Skin under the eyes feels supple and looks rested afterwards, and the box is beautiful enough to leave out.

  • Elif

    Nice cooling feel and a real difference in how hydrated the area looks the same evening. I wear them slightly lower than the photos show, closer to the cheekbone, and they fit better that way.

  • Louise, 38

    Third box. A pair every other evening lasts the month exactly as promised, and the ritual has outlived the novelty, which for me is the whole test of skincare.

Ingrid · worn, unretouched

Ingrid is a figure in our own computer-generated imagery, not a customer. One frame, real skin, shadows left exactly as they are, including in our own photography. What a cure changes is how skin is looked after, which no photograph taken on one afternoon can show you.

See it on

Twenty minutes of gold, worn in plain sight.

About the width of two fingers, cut to the orbital bone, gold from edge to edge. It goes on bare skin, stays twenty minutes, and lifts off in one piece. What stays behind is formula, not residue.

A patch, or an eye cream?

The honest version, including the three rows the eye cream wins. Which one suits you comes down to what you will actually keep doing.

Four rows to the patch, three to the cream. If you will genuinely tap something around your eyes morning and night for a month, buy the eye cream. It is cheaper per use and it lives happily under make-up. The patch is for the rest of us, who won't. At two a wear, a box of thirty prices each wear at about a coffee.

What arrives

Thirty patches
Sealed in pairs so the gel does not dry out between wears. Fifteen pairs, one evening on and one off. The box lasts thirty days.

How it works

Twenty minutes, then a night off.

  1. 01

    It seals

    It seals the water in. A soft, closed layer over the under-eye, in a crescent that stays put.

  2. 02

    It delivers

    It gives the gold, slowly. Twenty minutes against warm skin. Nothing left sitting, nothing to rub in.

  3. 03

    It returns

    You return, every other night. A pair, for as many weeks as you will give it.

What is inside

Gold first. Four quietly behind it.

Questions

The questions we would ask.

The ones we would want answered, before spending {price} on something new. Including whether the circles disappear. That answer is in the list, not the small print.

They hold a collagen-and-gold formula, with hyaluronic acid, green tea and aloe behind it, against the under-eye for twenty minutes. What a cosmetic can offer: skin that is better hydrated, more comfortable, more even to look at.

Yes. 24K gold powder, CI 77480 on the INCI list, printed on every box, worked through the gel from edge to edge. It is there for the look of brightness while the patch is worn.

They will not disappear. No cosmetic sold here may say they will. What can soften is how the under-eye looks: more watered, more even, less drawn.

A pair, one crescent under each eye, every other evening, twenty minutes at a time. Thirty patches, fifteen pairs. One evening on, one evening off. The box lasts thirty days.

Yes to both. The crescent sits along the orbital bone, not on the eye, not over the lash line. If any of the gel finds its way into the eye, rinse with water.

Patch-test on the inside of the forearm and leave it twenty-four hours before the first full wear. If the skin reacts, stop. The full ingredient list is printed on every box.

The formula is a cosmetic applied to intact skin, but we are not in a position to give medical advice. Ask your midwife, doctor or pharmacist before you start.

Give it the full month before you judge it, and two if you can. Skin keeps its own schedule.

Across the European Union, the United Kingdom, Switzerland and Norway. Three to five working days. Delivery is complimentary.

Thirty days. Unopened boxes come back in full. We write, we arrange it. Your statutory fourteen-day right of withdrawal sits underneath that, untouched.

No. VALIA 24K Gold Hydrogel Eye Patches are a cosmetic product under EU Regulation 1223/2009. The box says what it is, nothing it would have to prove.
