Most under-eye masks list impressive active ingredients on the front of the pack, but the formulation behind them is filled with synthetic fillers, preservatives, and fragrances that were never designed for the delicate skin around the eyes.
This caffeine-rich hydrogel eye mask by 100% Pure takes a cleaner approach. The hydrogel material itself is made from 95% organic aloe juice and 5% plant cellulose, so the mask is the delivery system, not just a carrier for chemicals. As it sits on the skin, it gradually thins, transferring moisture and active nutrients directly where they are needed. Key ingredients include organic matcha green tea, organic green coffee, cucumber hydrosol, vitamin C, caffeine, and hyaluronic acid. For the best results, apply to freshly cleansed skin using the Eyes Are The Story Gentle Gel Face Cleanser beforehand.
Suitable for anyone looking for a certified organic, plant-based under-eye mask free from synthetic additives.
Eyehouse Tip: The hydrogel material is designed to thin as it delivers moisture, so do not be surprised when the mask starts to feel noticeably lighter after 15 minutes or so. That is actually a sign it is working as intended. If you want the full benefit, leave it on for the full 20 minutes and massage any remaining moisture into the skin once you remove it. These work well as part of an evening wind-down routine.
Vegan. Certified organic. No animal testing involved. No synthetic fragrances, preservatives, or fillers. All ingredients are plant-derived.

When Is The Best Time To Use A Caffeine Eye Mask
100% Pure caffeine hydrogel under-eye mask, your questions answered
Q1. What does caffeine do for the under-eye area?
Caffeine is a vasoconstrictor, meaning it temporarily narrows blood vessels. Applied topically under the eye it may reduce the appearance of puffiness and dark circles by constricting the small vessels that contribute to both.
The effect is temporary and cosmetic rather than a structural fix, but for a morning routine or before an event it is one of the more evidence-backed topical ingredients for this purpose.
Q2. Why is a hydrogel format better than a cream for under-eye use?
A hydrogel patch delivers a concentrated dose of actives in a format that adheres to the contour of the under-eye area and stays in place, allowing better contact time than a cream that may migrate.
It also has a natural cooling effect, which supports the depuffing action.
Q3. How do I use it?
Cleanse the under-eye area, apply the patches beneath each eye, leave for the time indicated on the pack, then remove and gently pat in any remaining product. No rinsing needed.
Q4. Is it safe for contact lens wearers?
Apply before inserting lenses and ensure no product migrates into the eye. Remove the patches before putting lenses in if you prefer.
Q5. How often can I use it?
As directed on the pack, typically a few times per week rather than daily. Check the current product instructions.
Q6. Why is 100% Pure stocked at Eyehouse?
The brand avoids synthetic dyes, artificial fragrance, and harsh preservatives, which are the ingredients most likely to cause periocular reactions. The formulations align with the Eyehouse Eye Friendly Rating criteria.
