Good Dry Skin Ingredients, But I Don’t Get The Obvious Plumping Benefits I Get w/ Patchology Gels
I have dry, sensitive skin and love using eye gel patches as they can feel so soothing and refreshing, and some immediately plump and smooth my fine lines around my eyes. My favorite gels are by Patchology as I get amazing results. The GenSkin marine algae gels seem good quality and they do make my skin feel soft, but I don’t see the obvious plumping benefits I get with the Patchology gels and these gels also don’t feel as comforting or refreshing. I’ve even compared by wearing one of each brand at the same time, and my skin with the Patchology gel gets superior results as my lines barely show.<br /><br />These GenSkin gels are deep blue and have added colorant (which is typical). They also have fragrance, but it doesn’t smell overly strong. The GenSkin patches stay on well and have some good dry skin ingredients, such as sodium hyaluronate, glycerin, beta glucan, matricaria flower extract and butylene glycol. Most ingredients rate low risk by EWG (other than fragrance, colorant and preservative). These seem good, but I just don’t get the comfort or obvious plumping and hydration I get with Patchology gels. So these are just okay for me. 3 stars. Made in China.
