“Heart-shaped pink patches help to hydrate the under-eye area, cheeks and laugh lines to reduce puffiness, dryness and darkening.”
This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": glycerin, caprylyl glycol.
When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from within deeper layers of the skin. If the air is dry, humectants can speed up the moisture loss from the skin. This is why it is a good idea to use another product on top of this one to help "seal in" the moisture (look for ingredients like dimethicone, squalane, oils and butters).

“A rose-infused hydrogel patch for eyes and cheeks that lowers the skin temperature with cooling hydration as it diminishes the appearance of wrinkles and laugh lines.”
This product does not contain ingredients that are able to reduce fine lines and wrinkles or help with skin elasticity, but it can improve the look of the skin temporarily through moisturization. Well-moisturized skin might also be able to repair the sun damage better.
This ingredient camellia sinensis extract might be able to help neutralize free radicals in skin and help it fight off some of the sun damage.

The patches moisturized and slightly smoothed the skin. However, their shape is more suitable for the cheeks near the lips, it was almost impossible to put them under the eyes.
