As titled. I heard that eye masks are mainly used for a quick fix and the effects are temporarily. To me, I don't seem to notice much difference with using a mask or a cream/gel.

Anyone comment on that? Or can suggest a mask that really does the magic such as brighten up eye circles and hydrating fine lines? Confused

Agreed. Should actually say most eye creams and eye creams only make your eye area appear better immediately after. But I love using eye masks, it solves lines due to dehydration beautifully.

I love using Shiseido Benefiance Pure Retinol Instant Treatment Eye Mask. It makes my eyes looking less tired afterwards. I usually use it when I have a night out or just want to have a quick pick me up.

I use this Japanese brand called Kanebo, which is only US$10 for 5 pair of eye masks. It is inexpensive and it still works great!! Cool

I love the Valmont eye mask. Makes your eyes feel so good and really does lessen deep lines.

Valmont is so expensive, I only use it when there's important appointment. Usually I use Shiseido revital eye mask(not cheap neither) once a week, and some cream masks everyday.

Gels are less moisturizing than creams. I find gels take down puffiness and tighten the eye area. Creams give hydration and soften lines and wrinkles. Many times I will put a gel under a cream (I get puffies).
