They transform my under eyes in minutes.
In a few hours, I’m heading on a 10-day Greece getaway. I’ve yet to pack my skin care; In fact, I’ve actively avoided the product-whittling process, which becomes arduous when every serum, moisturizer, and peel seems essential. (I know, I know, woe is me).
One non-negotiable item I’ve thrown into my carry-on thus far: the True Botanicals Chebula Multi-Corrective Eye Patches. As someone prone to puffiness, particularly when I travel, they’re a godsend. In fact, they’ve single-handedly changed my mind on eye patches as a whole: Prior to trying the product, I’d considered eye patches more social media gimmick than actual problem-solver. Thanks to the True Botanicals patches, I stand corrected. The product pummels puffiness, softens the appearance of fine lines, and smooths crepey under-eye skin—all in 15 minutes.
Perhaps this is why the patches sold out rapidly when they first launched. Luckily, they’re back in stock—and exclusively on sale for InStyle readers through October 15. Simply input the code EYEPATCH15 at checkout to snag the highly coveted patches for 15 percent off your purchase.

The True Botanicals Chebula Multi-Corrective Eye Patches are a smoothing, skin-soothing solution to issues affecting the delicate skin below the eyes. Specifically, they deflate puffiness, plump fine lines, and protect against future signs of aging.
As with many of the brand’s formulas—which have been praised by the likes of Eva Mendes and Laura Dern—the eye patches star chebula. An ultra-powerful antioxidant, chebula fends off skin-aging free radicals found in the environment—and, in turn, prevents further signs of aging, like fine lines and crepiness. Plus, the ingredient boasts brightening benefits, which may fade dark circles over time.
In addition to anti-aging chebula, the patches feature hydrating and depuffing ingredients. Sodium hyaluronate, a cousin to hyaluronic acid, deeply quenches dry, delicate under-eye skin and plumps fine lines. Caffeine, via coffee seed extract, tackles puffiness by lessening water retention below the eyes.
The product includes 50 pairs of single-use eye patches, housed in a sleek glass jar. Though disposable, the patches are environmentally friendly thanks to a biodegradable biocellulose material. (The brand claims the patches disintegrate in the presence of warm water; after testing it myself, I can confirm this to be true.)
For smoother, brighter, less puffy under-eyes in minutes, shop the eye patches that made me a believer: The True Botanicals Chebula Multi-Corrective Eye Patches (remember to use the code EYEPATCH15 at checkout). And hurry—if history repeats itself, they’ll fly off the virtual shelves again. Consider similar anti-aging under-eye patches, below.
