Cooling - but messy [SEP] The box says "rapid repair formula."  Two weeks and a full box of patches later I'm still waiting; fine lines look the same - but then, I didn't really expect miracles.  More importantly, I'm trying hard to get rid of the dark circles that have recently developed under my eyes and they're getting worse!  On the other hand, I will admit that the texture of the skin under my eyes has improved a bit, so it hasn't been a totally wasted effort.<br /><br />The thing is, the patches are super-thin and flimsy and the gloop they're 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 15 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 mess.<br /><br />The recommended usage is three times a week.  I really wanted to love these, but I feel like there isn't enough improvement to warrant spending $6 a week and 15-20 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.
