These Brightening Eye Masks Work Better on My Dark Circles Than Filler

Some people get bags underneath their eyes when they are tired or dehydrated. But for the other, more unfortunate souls such as myself, dark under-eye circles are inherited. Since I was a child, darkness has haunted my eye hollows, which get even darker and puffier if I’m sleep-deprived. I have used expensive eye creams and concealers, under-eye masks, and even tried under-eye filler. Some of it works, most of it doesn’t. One of the most effective products I’ve found? The Drmtlgy Brightening Eye Masks.

I first discovered the game-changing product while falling down the rabbit hole of social media. It seemed like every time I went onto Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok, I was treated to video testimonials of raccoon-eyed women placing the pink, serum-soaked masks under their eyes. And magically, all their puffiness and darkness was gone 15 minutes later. 

Look — I’m not totally naive. I know many of the influencer-posted beauty videos are too good to be true. However, when I went onto the Drmtlgy’s website, I found some more convincing evidence in the form of before-and-after photos, lots of positive reviews, and of course, an impressive ingredient list. The masks are made with caffeine, which depuffs the eyes, niacinamide to brighten the appearance of the dark circles, hyaluronic acid for hydration and fine line-reduction, and aloe leaf extract to calm and soothe.

The masks come in a pack of 60, nestled in a plastic jar with a tiny spatula enclosed to help you separate them without using your fingers. Since they’re soaked in serum and have a gel texture, they tend to be a bit slippery, so I try not to walk around too much when I have them on;  I usually put them on before getting into the bath so I can lay back and relax for 15 minutes and let the ingredients do their work. 

The first time I used them I was startled by the difference they made. I hadn’t slept much the night before and was left with seriously dark circles and puffiness — nothing that even my trusty Clé de Peau concealer could hide. My eyes emerged from the masks refreshed, hydrated, and feeling really good, as well; they have a cooling effect, especially if you keep them stored in the refrigerator. 

Of course, I’m not the only one obsessed with Drmtlgy Brightening Eye Masks. 4,000 people have purchased them at Amazon over the last month according to the retailer, and videos featuring the product have 7.5 million views on TikTok. Plus, shoppers of all ages rave about them on Drmtlgy’s site. “Can't tell you what a difference these make on my 70-year-old eyes, especially during allergy season,” wrote one customer. “I keep them in the fridge and the cold on my eyes in the morning feels so good.”

Another shopper in their 40s to 50s wrote that they tried “many eye products similar to this but never noticed a difference.” “These actually brighten the under-eye area and make my eye bags smaller.” They added that they purposely stopped using them for a bit to see if she noticed any difference, and she could “tell right away.”  “I love these,” gushed another fan in their 30s. “When I take them off, my under-eye lines are completely gone and moisturized and so bright!”
