How it works
An eye patch is a short-contact step, and what it offers over a cream is that it stays exactly where it is put while it works. These are the peptide collagen patches in COSRX's line, cut for the curve under the eye and set in a firm gel that does not slide. They go on clean skin, before serum, morning or evening, and whatever the gel leaves behind is pressed in rather than wiped away. The tub holds sixty, which is thirty sessions, so it is bought for a regular rhythm rather than a one-off. Two or three times a week is the usual, alongside an eye cream rather than in place of one.
Key benefits
- Niacinamide is fourth on the list, ahead of the peptide block
- Four separate peptide ingredients appear: acetyl hexapeptide-8, sh-polypeptide-121, palmitoyl tripeptide-5 and acetyl tetrapeptide-5
- Five distinct hyaluronate and hyaluronic acid entries build the hydrogel's hydration
- Caffeine and adenosine sit further down for the puffiness argument
- Collagen itself is named alongside the peptides derived to mimic its signaling
- 60 patches per pack, sized for a few-times-a-week routine rather than daily use

COSRX The Peptide Collagen Hydrogel Eye Patch
How is this different from COSRX's other collagen eye patch?
This patch does not carry sodium DNA on its list at all. Instead it leans on collagen, sh-polypeptide-121, palmitoyl tripeptide-5 and acetyl tetrapeptide-5, a peptide-forward formula rather than one built around that other ingredient, even though both share the same carob gum and chondrus crispus gel base.
What is sh-Polypeptide-121?
It is a biotech-derived peptide listed among this patch's active ingredients, positioned in the same section as the other named peptides, acetyl hexapeptide-8, palmitoyl tripeptide-5 and acetyl tetrapeptide-5. Together they form this patch's peptide cluster rather than a single standout active.
Does this patch contain caffeine like the other COSRX eye patches?
Yes, caffeine appears on the list alongside collagen and dextrin, in the same conditioning section as the peptide cluster. It contributes the light cooling sensation common to Korean eye patches during the wear window, and it sits well down the list rather than as the formula's lead ingredient.
Is Dunaliella salina extract an active ingredient here?
It appears on the list among the later ingredients, a marine algae extract sometimes included in Korean formulas for its antioxidant reputation. Its position in the list places it as a supporting ingredient rather than the formula's primary active.
How many patches come in this package?
The product is packaged as 60 patches at 85 grams total, which covers roughly 30 uses at two patches per application. Store the unused portion sealed in the refrigerator between uses, since a cool hydrogel patch also feels more refreshing against the under-eye area on application.

39 of 41 explained
- Aqua solvent
- Water is the base almost every serum, toner and cream is built on. It dissolves the water-loving ingredients and sets how light the finished texture feels. On an INCI list it is usually first, which only means it is the largest single ingredient by weight.
- Dipropylene Glycol humectant
- Dipropylene Glycol is a glycol used as a solvent and a light humectant. Its main job is keeping the rest of the formula dissolved and the texture fluid rather than adding hydration of its own.
- Glycerin humectant
- Glycerin is the most used humectant in skincare. It draws water into the outer layer of skin and holds it there, and it is one of the very few ingredients whose hydrating effect is settled science rather than marketing. Higher amounts feel tacky, which is why it is usually blended.
- Niacinamide active
- Niacinamide is vitamin B3, and it is the most studied active in Korean formulation. It is used at roughly 2 to 5 percent for the look of uneven tone and visible pores, and it is water soluble, stable and comfortable beside almost every other active, which is why it turns up in so many lists.
- Ceratonia Siliqua (Carob) Gum thickener
- Carob Gum is a seed polysaccharide from the carob tree. It thickens a formula and gives a soft, cushioned body.
- Chondrus Crispus Powder plant extract
- Chondrus Crispus is Irish moss, a red seaweed. It is loaded with carrageenan, so it hydrates and thickens at once, and it leaves a cushioned, slippery film.
- Cellulose Gum thickener
- Cellulose Gum is plant cellulose modified to dissolve in water. It thickens, holds particles in suspension and gives a smooth, slippery body.
- Hydroxyacetophenone preservative booster
- Hydroxyacetophenone is an antioxidant that also strengthens a preservative system, so a formula needs less traditional preservative. Korean formulas pair it with 1,2-hexanediol constantly.
- Algin thickener
- Algin is a brown-seaweed polysaccharide. It thickens, forms a film, and sets into a rubbery gel when calcium is added, which is how a peel-off modelling mask works.
- Caprylyl Glycol preservative booster
- Caprylyl Glycol is a glycol that conditions skin and, more importantly, strengthens a preservative system so less of the traditional preservative is needed. It appears in most modern formulas built without parabens.
- Potassium Chloride mineral
- Potassium Chloride is a mineral salt used to bring a formula closer to the salt balance of skin, most often as part of a sea-water or mineral-water blend.
- Betaine humectant
- Betaine is a sugar-beet-derived humectant that cells use to hold water. In a formula it hydrates and takes the edge off cleansers and acids, which is why it often appears alongside them.
27 more explained
- Panthenol humectant
- Panthenol is pro-vitamin B5: skin converts it to pantothenic acid. It is a humectant that holds water and leaves skin feeling soft and less tight, and it is one of the ingredients formulators reach for when a formula also contains something harsh.
- Sucrose humectant
- Sucrose is table sugar, used here as a humectant. It draws water into the outer layer of skin and, in a scrub, doubles as the physical grain.
- Ethylhexylglycerin preservative booster
- Ethylhexylglycerin softens skin and boosts a preservative system, which is why it is nearly always sitting beside phenoxyethanol or 1,2-hexanediol. It also cuts down the odour bacteria produce, so it turns up in deodorising products.
- Sodium Polyacrylate thickener
- Sodium Polyacrylate is a polymer that absorbs many times its weight in water. It thickens a formula and holds water in a gel against the skin.
- Polyglyceryl-10 Laurate emulsifier
- Polyglyceryl-10 Laurate is a sugar-derived emulsifier and solubiliser, mild enough to be a standard choice in Korean essences. It dissolves small amounts of oil into water without any tightening feel.
- Adenosine active
- Adenosine is a nucleoside that Korea's own cosmetic authority recognises as a wrinkle-care functional ingredient, which is why it appears on so many Korean lists at a low level. It is used for the look of fine lines and is stable and well tolerated.
- Polyglyceryl-10 Myristate emulsifier
- Polyglyceryl-10 Myristate is a mild sugar-derived emulsifier used to keep oil dispersed in a watery formula.
- Maltodextrin film former
- Maltodextrin is a starch-derived sugar chain used to carry powdered extracts and to form a light film. It also gives a soft, smoothing feel.
- Caffeine active
- Caffeine constricts small blood vessels near the surface, which is why eye products use it for the look of puffiness and shadow. It is water soluble and works only while it is on the skin.
- Collagen protein
- Collagen is the structural protein that makes up most of the dermis. Applied on top it is far too large to enter skin, so in a formula it works as a humectant and a smoothing film former.
- Butylene Glycol humectant
- Butylene Glycol is a small glycol that does two jobs at once: it holds water in the top layer of skin and it dissolves plant extracts and actives that plain water cannot. It also thins a formula, which is why watery Korean essences lean on it.
- Cyanocobalamin vitamin
- Cyanocobalamin is vitamin B12, and it is a deep pink-red, which is why a formula carrying it often has a colour nobody added on purpose. It is used as a conditioning vitamin.
- 1,2-Hexanediol humectant
- 1,2-Hexanediol is a glycol used for two reasons: it holds water like glycerin, and it makes a formula harder for microbes to live in, so less traditional preservative is needed. Korean formulas use it heavily for that second reason.
- Sodium Hyaluronate humectant
- Sodium Hyaluronate is the salt of hyaluronic acid, and it is what most products labelled hyaluronic actually contain. The salt dissolves more readily and the molecule is smaller, so it sits in the outer layer of skin rather than only on top of it.
- Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate active
- Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate is a water-soluble salt derived from licorice root. It is the licorice fraction Korean formulas use for the look of redness, and it is far more stable in water than the whole extract.
- Pantolactone humectant
- Pantolactone is a panthenol relative used as a conditioning humectant. It softens the outer layer of skin and helps a formula feel comfortable.
- Pentylene Glycol humectant
- Pentylene Glycol hydrates and, like the other longer-chain glycols, makes a formula less hospitable to microbes so the preservative system can be lighter. It also improves how evenly a product spreads.
- Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 peptide
- Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 is a six-amino-acid peptide used for the look of expression lines, particularly around the eyes. It is the peptide sold under the name Argireline and is water soluble and stable.
- Dunaliella Salina Extract plant extract
- Extract of a salt tolerant microalgae, the richest natural source of beta carotene. The pigment is what gives the extract its orange colour and its antioxidant character.
- sh-Polypeptide-121 peptide
- A fermentation-produced polypeptide. Korean formulas group these sh-polypeptides together as a conditioning peptide complex rather than using one alone.
- Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5 peptide
- Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5 is a fatted three-amino-acid peptide used for the look of firmness and fine lines. The palmitoyl tail is what lets it cross an oily surface.
- Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid humectant
- Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid is hyaluronic acid cut into much shorter fragments. The smaller the fragment, the further into the outer layer it can settle, which is why serums stack several sizes together instead of using one.
- Hyaluronic Acid humectant
- Hyaluronic Acid is a sugar chain the body already makes, and one gram of it can hold several litres of water. In a formula it is a humectant that pulls water to the surface of skin and holds it in a film, which is what makes skin look plumper while it is there.
- Potassium Hyaluronate humectant
- Potassium Hyaluronate is another salt of hyaluronic acid, used for the same reason as the sodium form: it dissolves easily and holds a large amount of water in the outer layer of skin.
- Acetyl Tetrapeptide-5 peptide
- Acetyl Tetrapeptide-5 is a four-amino-acid peptide used in eye products for the look of puffiness and crepiness.
- Citric Acid pH adjuster
- Citric Acid is used in tiny amounts to bring a formula to the pH its actives need, not as an exfoliant at that level. It is an AHA, so at much higher concentrations it can also exfoliate.
- Disodium EDTA chelator
- EDTA is a chelator: it locks up trace metal ions from water and packaging that would otherwise turn a formula cloudy, off-colour or rancid. It does nothing to skin and appears at a fraction of a percent.

How to use
- Use the Peptide Collagen Hydrogel Eye Patch on clean skin, before serum, morning or evening.
- One patch under each eye, laid along the curve of the socket and pressed flat from the inner corner out.
- Leave them on for the time the pack gives, press in the gel that stays behind, then serum and moisturizer as usual.
- Two or three times a week. Do not sleep in them; a patch that has dried on the skin takes moisture back off as it goes.
Worth knowing
- Collagen here is not plant-derived, so this is not a vegan formula.
