Take some time out before Christmas, or treat a loved one to a bit of a skincare facial with the AlumierMD HydraRescure Eye Pads. We were sent a pack of 4 sets of eye pads to try which comprised of individually packed eye pads for the under eye area and can be used as part of a whole AlumierMD skincare regime, or as a one off. I love trying out any new skincare anyway, but at middle age, the eye pads are a welcome gift to solve tired eyes, fine lines or just general hydration.
AlumierMD HydraRescue is just that -a hydrating rescue remedy for eyes. Each pad is shaped for the under eye (the pointier end is placed on the skin under the eye where the tear duct is) and the ‘fatter’ end wraps around the cheekbone and covers crows feet. You leave them on for about 10-15 minutes to let the peptides, niacinamide and liquorice root extract work some magic.
The patches come in flat packaging which peels back and reveals that each pad has it’s own shallow home. I feel like I have to point out here that the pads each have a thin netting on either side to keep them moist in the solution, and this has to be removed before they’re placed under the eyes! I always use some of the mixture left in the packet to put over the rest of my face, to make full use of the ingredients. I left the eye pads on for just over 15 minutes and they started to dry slightly, but not so much that I couldn’t peel them off.
Removing them is easy, they aren’t the kind of pads that get stuck to your face. They left my under eyes slightly dewy and certainly hydrated. I could feel a difference between where the pads had sat and the skin on my cheeks, even though I had doused them in the peptides solution. For a cold day where I was outside and then back indoors with the heating on, the hydration element did very well and I could feel that my eyes were hydrated, and stayed that way until next morning.
