How to use
HOW TO USESeparate the Patch
Use the enclosed spatula to gently lift and separate each hydrogel patch from the jar. Avoid using fingers to prevent contamination and slipping.
Apply Under Eyes
Place the patch onto clean, dry under-eye skin with the thickest part positioned at the outer corner of the eye. Press gently for 30 seconds to secure adhesion.
Relax for 10 Minutes
Leave the patches on for 10 minutes (or longer if desired). Sit back and relax — the patches work best when you stay still to prevent sliding.
Remove & Pat In Serum
Discard the patches after use. Gently pat the remaining serum into the skin with your ring finger. Do not wash off — the serum continues to work.
Follow with Eye Cream
Apply your regular eye cream or moisturizer over the treated area. Wait 2 hours before applying concealer or makeup for best results.

Affordable hydrogel patches with Hyaluronic Acid and Collagen for hydration and de-puffing. Lacks the Vitamin C and Licorice brightening complex. Better for hydration than dark circle treatment.
Same brand and price point but formulated with Cucumber, Hyaluronic Acid, and Caffeine instead of Vitamin C. Better for pure de-puffing; BeautifEYE is better for brightening and dark circles.

Frequently asked questions
FAQYes, the BeautifEYE patches are generally considered safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding. The formula contains no retinoids, salicylic acid, hydroquinone, or chemical sunscreens. The Vitamin C derivative used (Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate) and Niacinamide are both pregnancy-safe. Caffeine is present only in trace topical amounts. As always, consult your physician before introducing new products during pregnancy, as Pixi recommends on their website.
Use with caution. The formula contains Polyglyceryl-10 Laurate (an ester), Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter), and Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Fruit Extract — all of which may potentially feed malassezia yeast. If you have active fungal acne around the eye area, consider alternatives with a simpler, FA-safe ingredient list. However, since the patches are used for only 10 minutes and removed, the risk is lower than leave-on products.
BeautifEYE is compatible with most skincare actives. However, some users report mild stinging when combining with retinol — if this occurs, alternate days or use the patches in the morning and retinol at night. The formula already contains Vitamin C and Ferulic Acid, so layering with additional Vitamin C serums is fine but may not be necessary. Avoid using immediately after AHA/BHA exfoliation, as freshly exfoliated skin may be more sensitive.
BeautifEYE is suitable for all skin types and is particularly excellent for dry and combination skin due to its rich hydrating formula with Glycerin, Squalane, and Shea Butter. Those with oily skin may find the residual serum slightly heavy. Sensitive skin types generally tolerate it well thanks to Allantoin and Licorice, though a patch test is recommended. Acne-prone individuals should note the presence of Coconut Extract and Shea Butter.
Immediate results include hydration, cooling, and a plumper under-eye area. De-puffing benefits are typically visible after the first use. For brightening and dark circle reduction, expect gradual improvement over 3–6 weeks of consistent use. Vitamin C and Licorice work cumulatively to inhibit melanin production, so patience and regular application are key. Results vary depending on the severity and underlying cause of dark circles.
Apply after cleansing and toning, on clean, dry skin — before serums, eye cream, and moisturizer. Use in the morning for a refreshed start, in the evening as part of your nighttime routine, or before special events for an instant pick-me-up. After removal, pat the remaining serum into the skin and continue with your regular routine. If applying makeup, wait approximately 2 hours for best concealer blending.
BeautifEYE has a comedogenic rating of approximately 2 out of 5 (low risk). The formula is primarily water-based hydrogel, and the patches are only worn for 10 minutes before removal, which significantly reduces pore-clogging risk compared to leave-on products. Squalane (rating 0) and Niacinamide are non-comedogenic. Shea Butter (rating 0–2) and Coconut Extract may pose minimal risk for very acne-prone individuals.
The Period After Opening (PAO) is 12 months, as indicated on the packaging. The jar contains 30 pairs (60 patches), which lasts one month with daily use, or up to 3 months when used 2–3 times per week. Store upright to keep the serum evenly distributed. Some users report that the last few pairs can be slightly drier — storing in the fridge and keeping the jar sealed tightly helps maintain serum levels.
Verdict: The Pixi BeautifEYE Vitamin-C & Licorice Patches deliver an excellent hydrating, cooling, and mildly brightening experience at a competitive price point ($0.80/pair). The combination of stable Vitamin C, dual Licorice complex, Niacinamide, Caffeine, and Ferulic Acid is well-formulated for gradual under-eye brightening and de-puffing. They truly shine as a quick pick-me-up treatment and pre-makeup prep step. However, temper expectations for dramatic dark circle removal — results are cumulative and subtle. Best suited for those seeking a gentle, pregnancy-safe, everyday under-eye treatment that hydrates first and brightens over time. For more aggressive dark circle correction, consider the Peter Thomas Roth Potent-C patches with their more potent THD Ascorbate Vitamin C.

Understanding Silicones
If you've ever used a skincare, makeup or beauty product that's made your skin look and feel smoother tempoarily - it's likely contained Silicone. They are a popular class of ingredients found in cosmetics due to their smooth, soft, easy-to-spread and smooth properties that help creates an artificial layer/barrier on top of skin or hair (commonly found in conditioners).
For the same reasons they are popularly used, they are also commonly avoided. Anecdotally, many individuals have reported that Silicones cause/excerbate breakouts, irritation, cause a feeling of skin being unable to breathe, cause clumping of cosmetic products and find it difficult to wash off. As a result, those who find them problematic are avoiding them and increasingly, cosmetic companies are avoiding them as well.
If you have had bad experiences with Silicones in the past, or suspect they are problematic then look out for the tick on the Silicone-free label.
Disclaimer
The Silicone-free label only includes the most common Silicone ingredients that have indentified been reported by individuals that could potentially cause issues.
These include: Amodimethicone, Behenoxy Dimethicone, Bis-Aminopropyl Dimethicone, Cetearyl Methicone, Cetyl Dimethicone, Cyclomethicone, Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethicone, Dimethicone Copolyol, Dimethiconol, Methicone, Phenyl Trimethicone, Phenyl Trimethicone, Stearoxy Dimethicone, Stearyl Dimethicone, Trimethylsilylamodimethicone.

EU Allergen-Free
EU Allergen-Free
Understanding the Identified Contact Allergens
The EU's Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS) has identified and established 26 cosmetic ingredients that are likely contact allergens (potential to cause skin allergies) as demonstrated in clinical or epidemiological studies. The EU's SCCS have recommend cosmetic companies to disclose them on the labels if used and in cases where the concentration exceeds 0.001% in leave-on products and 0.01% in rinse-off products, then they must be labelled.
Look out for the tick on the EU-Allergen free label to know your cosmetic is free from any of the 26 identified cosmetic ingredients.
For more information regarding the EU's Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety, please visit their official website.
Disclaimer
The EU Allergen Free label is for the 26 ingredients identified by the EU SCCS and products will be only flagged if a suspected ingredient is on it's ingredient list. It is possible for cosmetics to contain one of the suspect ingredients without it appearing on the ingredient list due to it not reaching the concentration threshold to disclose it and cosmetic manufacturers choice to not disclose it.
Also note, the EU Allergen Free label is not personalized for your own allergies you may have and it does not constitute as medical advice. For your specific case, always consult your medical professiona such as dermatologist, physician, pharmacist, or health care provider - please read our medical disclaimer for more information.
Fungal Acne (Molassezia) Safe
Fungal Acne (Molassezia) Safe
Understanding Fungal Acne (Pityrosporum Folliculitis/Malassezia Folliculitis)
Pityrosporum Folliculitis/Malassezia folliculitis or simply known as Fungal Acne is a persistent acne-like condition that commonly responds poorly to traditional acne-treating methods. Unlike most cases of Acne where bacteria is the culprit, Fungi is the culprit of Fungal Acne (Hence the name!). There are certain classes & groups of ingredients that have been shown to promote and feed the growth of the Fungal Acne, Fungi such as fatty acids, oils, esters, polysorbates and fermented ingredients.
For more information regarding Fungal Acne, please visit Simple Skincare Science (f.c) - #3 of our Recommend Skincare Resources for an amazing comprehensive guide!
Please Read: How to use the Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Label
At SkinCarisma, we've done our best to identify as many ingredients as possible but note the fungal-free label may not be 100% accurate due to the complexconditions and combination of ingredients that malezzeria can thrive on.
Additionally, products that may contain ingredients that have shown to feed Malassezia may not neccessarily exacerbate the condition due to concentration of ingredient used in the product, this information is simply not available on the products.
As a result, please note this is only an experimental label that can be best used to possible identify problematic products you have used in the past. It is in no way a perfect identifier nor a predictor in whether or not it will exacerbate or cause fungal acne. It will continue to be worked on as more information and research comes to light.
If you find any ingredients you believe should be included, please email us at snails@skincarisma.com.
Disclaimer
Due to the lack of substantial research into this area it is very likely there are other ingredients and class/groups of ingredients that could feed Fungal Acne which have not been indentified.
The Fungal-Safe label does not constitute as medical advice. For your specific case, always consult your medical professiona such as dermatologist, physician, pharmacist, or health care provider - please read our medical disclaimer for more information.
What are Notable Effects & Ingredients?
Ever used a product that promised a certain effect but provided no results? It might not have contained any notable ingredients that could have been responsible for that promised effect. It doesn't matter what the marketing or packaging «promises» it can do, if it doesn't contain anything that can help - then the likelihood of it helping is low.
We help you identify key notable ingredients that have been shown to help with effects such as acne-fighting, brightening, UV-protection, wound healing & anti-aging to help you achieve your skincare goals smarter. Please note that different notable ingredients have varying levels of research behind them, some are extremely well proven yet some have mixed research in their efficacy.
Pro Tip Alert!
Just because a product doesn't contain any notable ingredients doesn't mean it's bad. And a product with notable ingredients (or even many) doesn't necessarily guarantee the efficacy of the product performing these effects either. There are other factors such as ingredient quality, concentration and formulation that will ultimately determine this.
Be smart and use this as just a starting point for you to make more informed and smarter choices and compare it with reviews to see if the product is right for you

What are Ingredients Related to Skin Type?
Why are some products great for some people and horrible for others? Well everyone has different skin types and different reactions to the same ingredients.
We've identified a range of ingredients that are commonly regarded as potentially good or bad for those with Dry, Oily/Acne-Prone or Sensitive skin.
Pro Tip Alert!
A product that contains good or bad ingredients for your skin type doesn't always flat out make the entire product good or bad for your skin. There are other factors such as ingredient quality, concentration and formulation that will ultimately determine your skins reaction.
One of the best ways to use this section is to troubleshoot products you've had bad experiences with in the past. Check if it contains any of the marked ingredients to point out suspect ingredients to avoid in the future!

What is the Ingredient Safety Breakdown?
Ingredient Safety Breakdown refers to the percentage % of ingredients in different risk categories as classified by EWG (Environment Working Group) if they are available. There are almost endless cosmetic ingredients and they are one of the few organisations globally that have assigned ratings to a lot of the more commonly used ingredients which is why we reference them.
Pro Tip Alert!
EWG is seen by many to be more on the alarmist side in their assignment of health ratings resulting in rating ingredients as riskier than they actually are. We recommend using this a reference point rather than a strict guide of ingredient safety and to always do further research if into ingredients that you may find suspect.
