Product Description
It's an innovative and popular eye care product in Japan! This disposable eye pad generates a moderate heat (40 C) to warm, refresh and relieve stress of your eye areas. Suitable for everyone who spends long hour in working or internet surfing. This portable eye pad instantly comforts and soothes fatigued eyes. It also helps to improve blood circulation for reducing puffy eyes and dark circles.
I first picked up this product from Sasa Hong Kong at HKD38 for 5 pieces, not knowing that it can generate heat. Several months later, it seemed to be a popular item on Singapore shores.
Whats so phenomenal is that, it is a heat generating eye mask that has several scents to soothe your senses and depuff your eyes.
I picked mine in Lavender scent which is soothing and relaxing. It comes individually wrapped and once opened, you can hook the eye mask easily behind the ears with the ear hooks. Its quite loose fitting, so I tend to use my fingers to press it alittle closer to my eyes.
It can be used on the plane or before sleeping. I wore mine to bed and like to sleep with it though I do wake up to remove it. Its very comfortable and the heat sensation is just warm, not scalding hot. The mask is dry and there is no dripping mess on the bed. Once you had it on, the temperature starts to rise and reach a saturating point for a while. Even though its recommended to be used for 10 minutes but I thought it was quite a waste to throw it away since its still hot. I threw away my first one after using it for 10minutes.
For the subsequent masks, I had it on for 30minutes and its still hot after I remove it.
However do note that, because it generates heat, there will be some beads of water droplets between the eye area covered by the mask due to the steam, like water vapour.
Aesthetically, its not that appealing because it looks like a sanitary pad in certain angles. Hopefully they will improve the design, but then again, who cares since I am the only one using it at home.
I like the interesting concept and I was hoping that the warm sensation will help to reduce the dark circles and eye bags after a good blood circulation from the generated heat but sadly it does not seem to work effectively on me. The only function is that it relaxes the eye area after a long day.

I tried the Rose fragrance and the experience is similar except for the difference in fragrance.

I received a complimentary Lavender sample and realized there seemed to be a change in formulation. Other than the lavender scent, there is another chemical scent like that of Iron. Very unpleasant!
