[REVIEW] Benton Snail Bee Ultimate Hydrogel Eye Patch

There are days I have to sleep later than usual, and I can say that for almost 3 weeks since the mid of May, I slept at 2 AM. Even before that, I have noticed that my undereyes were becoming worse.

What I absolutely do not want is

Dark eye circles

I did my own research on the Internet, finding which brand is rated the highest. Of course, it was almost like searching for pearl bed in the sea. I got lost making comparison. Then, I turned to Aina, who is more commonly known as Skinbae on Instagram, for her advice. She reviews a lot of skincare products and I settled for her recommendation:

I ordered this particular product from Benton on StyleKorean via Hermo, and my parcel arrived quickly in excellent condition! The eye patch comes with a white lid that has to close the tub tightly, and a clear spoon to pick the patch up.

 The Benton Snail Bee Ultimate Hydrogel Eye Patch is enriched with the saccharomyces snail secretion filtrate ferment filtrate (tldr), bee venom and seaweed extract, that can hydrate and nourish the eye area while revitalising and keeping eyes feeling refreshed, bright and supple~

The eye patches are soaked in the high contents of premium essence and functional ingredients that benefit you as you use~

REVIEW

While it is amazing that the eye patches are rich (and soaked) in essence, it is no doubt that the eye patches slip easily once I place them under my eyes. It makes me hard to multitask with them constantly sliding down my cheeks. However, what I noticed is that as long as I minimise the amount of essence before placing them under my eyes, the eye patches would not slip. Since then, I agree with Benton's claim that it "tightly adheres to the skin".

As mentioned, I initially bought these because I stayed up late on most days. I also had to wake up early. My undereye areas got red and slowly turning brown, so I knew I had to do something before they became worse. 

On the first few days of using the eye patch, noticed that my undereye area was less puffy or swollen. Nevertheless, to avoid jumping into conclusion too early, I waited until I finished up the product.

By referring to my Before & After picture, the redness at the inner corner of my eye areas have reduced. I try to sleep early on most days and avoid using electronic devices too often to prevent having darker undereye.

After using Benton Snail Bee Ultimate Hydrogel Eye Patch for a month, the brown colour under my eyes has gotten lighter and less obvious. I reckon I should continue using to see and feel more benefits from this product~

My only complain is the spoon. I wished it came with a tweezer type instead. It would be even easier to pick the eye patch up. Compared to spoon, while trying to pick it up, the eye patch just went round and round in the tub. Although tweezer type may cause tear or hole on the eye patch while clasping it, perhaps silicone or rubber type of protector could be used to avoid such problem.

Have you tried this?
Let me know what you think~
