For example, have you heard about liquid eye patches? If you have no clue what we’re talking about (or if you heard of them, but don’t know what they are), this article is for you.
Cellulose under-eye patches were invented by a Korean scientist in 2000. Back then, this product was exclusive and difficult to get one’s hands on. However, two decades have passed since then, and now beauty brands offer an impressive selection of under-eye patches, which you can buy in most beauty stores.

In addition, they do not slip or peel off; you can apply them and go on with your life instead of lying down for fifteen minutes or so. And, of course, the main benefit of liquid eye patches is that they provide a quick and noticeable result.
