Talika Eye Therapy Patches with Case Review + Giveaway

The Talika Eye Therapy Patches ($62) are made out of a patented polymer gel that was originally created to treat burn patients. Dr Heidi Hirmand, a leading Manhattan surgeon came to the conclusion that because the ingredients were so beneficial to the skin, they should be used for cosmetic purposes as well. And that was how the Talika Therapy Patches were born!

The Eye Patches are a water and oil based gel patch, which contains a matrix, like 2 woven nets this is capable of holding in active ingredients and essential oils. The top layer is sealed shut making it impervious to drying air and bacteria. These are much more then your average eye pads!


The set includes 6 eye patches which can be used 2-3 times each, (so a total of 18 uses)

Directions: Open sachet and apply each patch to the under eye area and leave on for 30 minutes. Remove patch and store in jewel case for re-use. Use 2-3 times per week. Ingredients: Ceramide, Essential Oils, Karite. They are infused with wheat germ oil, ceramide III, avocado oil, karite nut butter and safflower oil.

The kit also includes a beautiful silver compact case, (which I will still be using after the patches are gone) to keep your patches clean and safe while they are waiting to be used again! It even comes with a nice mirror inside. I'm thinking maybe a nice pill case, or tissue case after my eye patches are all used up... These are by far the most elaborate eye patches I've ever seen. Most eye therapy treatments give you a couple pads that you can use a couple times over, but never think to tell you where to store them.

So do they work?

Well first of all, these stick extra nice to your skin, so they don't fall off, and you don't need to hold them on. The scent has a hint of lemon, which I found refreshing, plus I'm a huge lemon lover. I used these on a day I was especially tired, and my dark circles were growing by the minute. I used them right before I went to bed so I would see the best results. I applied these for 30 minutes, my mother tried them out as well. After a half hour, I already noticed a difference in the color under my eye. My mom noticed her small lines around her eyes fading, so we both decided these are a must have. I have yet to see lines disappear, but I'm hoping those will fade on my next couple uses..

You can purchase Talika Eye Patches for $62 and refills for $54 at Talika.com The price tag may seem large for something you can only use 8 times, but this is my favorite under eye treatment to date.
