At the same time, this area is very vulnerable—the skin is thinner, there is no subcutaneous tissue, few sebaceous glands, loose supporting structures, and many blood vessels. Therefore, age-related changes begin in this area first and are often accompanied by the appearance of puffiness.
To slow down their appearance, there are a wide variety of cosmetic products. Some of the most popular and convenient products are patches and their analogues—fabric, hydrogel, silicone, and needle. A cold spoon or tea bag has long been in the arsenal of our mothers and grandmothers—which is understandable, because cold reduces puffiness, tones tissues, improves blood circulation and nutrition in this area. Later, modern patches emerged, which, along with the "cold compress" effect, also provide results due to the active ingredients they contain. They often contain natural polymers such as collagen and hyaluronic acid, algae and plant extracts, vitamins, and active molecules such as peptides. Patches deeply moisturize the skin, improve elasticity, help smooth out wrinkles, and are excellent for long-haul flights. They are a very convenient device for concealing signs of sleep deprivation or simply actively caring for a given area.

Their effectiveness largely depends on their composition and tight fit, as well as the ability to completely cover the problem area. The emergence of gel patches "in a bottle" is a further development in this area. The LIBREDERM hyaluronic gel patch is based on an innovative Japanese polymer. Its structure (microspheres rather than long chains) creates a velvety feel on the skin without leaving a sticky or filmy feeling. The gel patch is applied to the skin for 15-20 minutes. Any remaining product can then be either wiped off with a tissue or spread over the face. It is then fully absorbed, leaving a pleasant feeling of hydration and freshness. The active ingredient in the gel patch is acetyl tetrapeptide-5, which has proven anti-puffiness properties. This is the main component responsible for the anti-puffiness effect after application. A second important component is low-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid. Together with a complex of natural polymers, these two ingredients provide instant and prolonged hydration for up to 48 hours. The gel patch also contains trehalose, which, in addition to actively moisturizing, protects periorbital cells from oxidative damage, stress, and temperature effects.

Regardless of the individual structure of the periorbital area (pronounced folds, deep nasolacrimal groove, long lower eyelid, molar hernia pack, etc.), applying the gel in a layer of approximately 2 millimeters will be enough to ensure maximum contact across the entire necessary area of the face requiring care. The product can be used daily, and for greater results, refrigerate it first to enhance the cooling effect, providing a feeling of freshness. LIBREDERM gel patch is recognized by many leading cosmetologists as an effective product for effectively slowing the aging process of the skin around the eyes and reducing puffiness in the eye area. And this, in turn, allows you to postpone a visit to the surgeon and other radical beauty salon techniques.
