Hydrogel under-eye patches carrying vitamin C and lemon extract — the formulated version of the lemon idea, at a pH your eye area can survive.
Cosmetics · Skincare
Hydrogel patches with a stabilised vitamin C. Twenty minutes of occlusion, which is mostly hydration — the vitamin C is the part that lasts.
