You’ve probably read the buzz about K-beauty’s vitamin C eye masks for dark circles that promise to replace your need for concealer. We love the hype, but why stop at under-eyes? Terez & Honor’s Vitamin C + Niacinamide Eye Gel Patches come in two sizes (large crescents and mini arrows) so you can target key areas like crow’s feet, nasolabial folds, eleven lines, and chin shadows all from one juicy jar.

Why This Patch is Different
Sure, there are tons of vitamin C under-eye patches on the market. But few offer the usability and cutting-edge technology that you’ll find in our Vitamin C + Niacinamide Eye Gel Patch. Here’s the lowdown:
- Two targeted shapes. 30 large crescent-shaped patches to hug under-eyes and smile lines. 30 mini arrow-shaped patches tuck perfectly onto crow’s feet or between brows.
- Potent but gentle actives. Pure vitamin C, alongside tranexamic acid, combat discoloration while six forms of hyaluronic acid flood the skin with bounce. Niacinamide, caffeine, and skin-restoring peptides work to treat dark circles, fine lines, and puffiness.
- Hydro-grip gel. Hydrogel patches adhere comfortably to the skin, staying put while you scroll, sip, or sleep. AKA no slipping onto pillows or screens!
Long story short? More zones, more brightness, zero fuss.
Ingredient Deep Dive: Meet the Glow Squad
Discover the ingredients that create a brighter, firmer, more hydrated trifecta no single shape patch can match.
3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid
Also known as stable vitamin C, this form of ascorbic acid offers all the benefits you know and want from vitamin C. 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid helps brighten, fade dark spots, boost collagen production, and give your skin tone a more even, radiant glow.
Niacinamide
Niacinamide, a form of vitamin B3, is one of the most versatile skin actives. This multitasking ingredient works to strengthen the skin barrier, even tone, and improve the skin’s overall texture.
Tranexamic Acid
This powerhouse skin brightener helps tackle stubborn discoloration, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, and dark circles.
Acetyl Hexapeptide-8
Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 is a neurotransmitter-inhibiting peptide that blocks messages from the brain that cause muscles to contract during facial expressions like smiling, talking, laughing, or frowning. In other words, this “wrinkle-reducing” peptide works below the skin to smooth expression lines and prevent deep-set wrinkles. Botox who? Our peptide brightening patch delivers needle-free results.
Caffeine
Our favorite energizer is a must-have ingredient in any vitamin C eye mask for dark circles. Caffeine naturally tightens blood vessels, temporarily minimizing puffiness and the appearance of dark under-eyes. Plus, its antioxidant properties can help protect skin from damage.
9-Layer Hyaluronic Complex
A 9-molecular hyaluronic acid complex deeply hydrates to give you that dewy, glass-skin bounce.
Does Vitamin C Actually Work on Dark Circles?
The short answer? Yes! Dermatologists love vitamin C for three proven feats: antioxidant protection, enhanced collagen production, and pigment inhibition. Our Vitamin C Niacinamide Eye Patches use 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid to deliver the benefits of L-Ascorbic Acid (a direct form of pure vitamin C) without the stinging or rapid oxidation that makes classic C tricky to formulate.
Paired with tranexamic acid (a derm favorite for melasma), niacinamide (barrier hero + redness reducer), and brightening botanicals (hello, citrus!), and you’ve got a multi-pronged brightening cocktail that works even on sensitive under-eyes.

Smart Ways to Patch
Morning Rush (10 minutes)
1. Stick mini arrows on the crow’s feet and use large crescents under the eyes.
2. Brew coffee and answer emails.
3. Peel off, tap in essence, then apply SPF.
Mid-Day Touch Up (15 minutes)
- Similar to how you’d use a smile line wrinkle patch, you can apply crescents onto nasolabial folds to plump creases. Try this before makeup touch-ups or whenever you need a midday pick-me-up.
Overnight “Slug-Patch” (30 minutes or all-night)
- Use minis on eleven lines during your evening routine or overnight. For sleep, wear patches underneath a silk eye mask for an all-night collagen hug.
Pro tip: Keep the jar in the fridge for extra de-puffing power.
FAQ: Because You Asked
Q: How often can I use these?
A: The Vitamin C Niacinamide Eye Gel Patches are gentle enough for daily use. They’re clinically tested for sensitive skin—no sting, no redness. Ideally, you’ll want to use the patches at least 2 to 3 times a week for noticeable results.
Q: Do I have to lie down when wearing the patches?
A: Nope. The hydro-grip texture means you can walk your dog or doomscroll in bed without the patches slipping and sliding.
Q: Will vitamin C make me photosensitive?
A: Vitamin C is photoprotective, not sensitizing. Meaning it can help shield your skin from the damaging effects of UV radiation. Just follow with sunscreen if you patch in the AM (you should be wearing SPF anyway).
Q: How should I store my vitamin C eye patches?
A: Store your patches in a cool, dry area. For extra magic, keep them in the refrigerator to provide an instant cooling and de-puffing effect.
Q: What’s the best way to use eye patches?
A: We have an entire blog post here that walks you through maximizing your results with under-eye patches.
