Spring break plans will soon make it out of the group chat, so Summer Fridays — a California-based brand that you might know from its Lip Butter Balm (the #summerfridayslipbalm hashtag on TikTok has over 37,000 posts, to put things in context) — has just expanded its cult-favorite Jet Lag line with a travel essential you won’t want to exclude from your weekender bag. The all-new Jet Lag Eye Patches are bound to become your besties from takeoff to landing, and all throughout your upcoming trip.
These under-eye patches join Summer Fridays’ extensive roster of skin offerings made to banish dehydration and puffiness including its flagship Jet Lag Mask: a multitasker of the highest degree that can be used as a day-or-night moisturizer, body cream, or overnight mask for softer and smoother skin all over. It was this very product that originally put Summer Fridays on the map (since then, it has become the top skin care brand by market share at Sephora). People were absolutely floored by the near-instant gratification the mask provided when treating dry, dull skin, and now Summer Fridays decided that their customers’ eyes in particular also deserve to experience such fast-acting effects.

The Jet Lag Eye Patches come on the heels of the Jet Lag Overnight Eye Serum, Jet Lag Deep Hydration Serum, and Jet Lag Skin Soothing Hydration Mist: all unveiled within the past year to the tune of high praise and hefty sales. Summer Fridays recommends using the patches in close collaboration with these bestsellers to lock in covetable hydration — as a four-step routine in which the mist is applied to the face after taking off the patches, followed by the serums and mask in short order. No matter how you choose to implement Summer Fridays’ new under-eye patches into your personal regimen, be prepared for endlessly dewy results.

Summer Fridays’ eye patches are crafted out of non-slip hydrogel infused with caffeine and peptides: ingredients that work to decrease puffiness under the eyes and improve skin firmness and elasticity, respectively. Glycerin, hyaluronic acid, cucumber extract, and niacinamide are also responsible for the magic of these suitable-for-all-skin-types adhesives, through which you’ll see and feel greater skin moisture, brightness, and suppleness after leaving them on for 10 minutes or longer.
As if their name didn’t already imply this, the patches are great for travel, seeing as how they work to reverse the dehydrating effects of recycled cabin air on the skin. The under-eyes, after all, are often the very first places to show such a depletion in moisture because of their particularly thin and delicate nature. Instead of getting off the plane and starting your much-needed getaway on the wrong foot, wearing a pair of Summer Fridays’ Jet Lag Eye Patches while still in-flight or at your destination will secure the radiance of your dreams.
Summer Fridays Under-eye Patches Review — Editor Testing Notes
“Nine times out of 10, I reach for under-eye patches when I want a self-care moment versus an actual glow up. I find that the majority of these masks deliver lackluster results, slide off my skin, and pale in comparison to simply massaging an ice cube under my eyes. Summer Fridays’ new Jet Lag eye patches aren’t going to erase every skin concern you have around your eye area, but in my experience, they actually do solve common ones like puffiness and dark circles.
I’ve tried these eye masks on a few occasions, including once after a night out and another on a chill Monday evening at home. While the brand suggests wearing the patches for 10 minutes, I found myself preferring to leave them on for 15 or 20 — they do not slip! — and noticed better results with the additional time.
The thick hydrogel material seems to soak up the caffeine-rich formula rather than just sitting in a watery liquid; I think that this has something to do with the noticeable brightening and reduced puffiness I experienced. Each time I peeled off the masks, my under-eye area looked felt bouncier and looked brighter and more plump, decreasing the look of fine lines and bags.
Those benefits were more impressive when I wore the under-eye patches over a thin coat of the brand’s Jet Lag eye serum — this combination is for the days when your eyes are sending out SOS signals from lack of sleep or sudden shifts in weather, like a shot of espresso after a red eye.” — Senior Beauty & Lifestyle Commerce Editor Claire Sullivan
