cooling but messy [SEP] the box says rapid repair formula two weeks and a full box of patches later i am still waiting fine lines look the same but then i did not really expect miracles more importantly i am trying hard to get rid of the dark circles that have recently developed under my eyes and they are getting worse on the other hand i will admit that the texture of the skin under my eyes has improved a bit so it has not been a totally wasted effortthe thing is the patches are super thin and flimsy and the gloop they are in is drippy i need to open the package carefully peel the patches apart and then apply them over the sink then i rub the drips into my skin and hold the patches in place as i make my way to the bed to lie down for minutes the cool gel like gloopy stuff does quickly improve the dark circles but a cold washcloth does that too and with a lot less messthe recommended usage is three times a week i really wanted to love these but i feel like there is not enough improvement to warrant spending a week and minutes for each application clean up to warrant getting more of these too many other easier to use options that do as well or better
