I struggle with my eye area. I have dark circles and sensitive eyes. My dark circles are for a varitey of reasons: heredity, general lack of sleep, and allegies. While I do not believe that any beauty product or eye cream can fully get rid of my dark circles, I do believe in products that can help refresh the eye area and make the most of what you have. In addition to dark circles, I also have a few fine lines that crop up in my eye area when my skin is dehydrated. As a Mom of two young kids, I never can seem to catch up on sleep. This is where having a great arsenal of products and face/eye masks on hand is key!
I am a big fan of eye masks in general. They can soothe and treat your eye area. Plus, it can give you a bit of a beauty boost. So, when VIIcode approached me to try out their Oxygen Eye Mask for Dark Circles, I was really excited to try out the eye masks.
VIIcode:
Keep the Secret of your age with this "Ageless Mythology":
Have you heard of VIIcode? It is a brand available on amazon. Previously, I have tried their eye cream and was happy with my results. So, I am excited to now try the eye masks.
Before diving into my eye mask review, I wanted to give you a little bit of the background mythology of the brand. VIIcode was established by Dr Byrne Victor. He was an experienced dermatologist in the 18th century. Still now, VIIcode is welcomed by European royalty and high-end business people. VIIcode has an interesting inception and one that reads quite like a history or mythology. Apparently the "secret formula" behind VIIcode dates back to the Napolรฉon era. According to VIIcode, Josephine used an "eternal youth" formula to keep her looking young. The Victor family swore to Josephine that they would keep the formula a secret and the VIIcode formula was born. Mythology aside, these eye mask patches are quite a luxurious spa-like treat and they do have some good ingredients to combat signs of fatigue and aging.
The VIIcode Oxygen Eye Masks are 8-hour overnight treatments. This is different from other sheet masks and eye masks that I have tried. While I do not enjoy wearing sticky eye masks overnight, I can wear these around during the day. I don't wear a full 8-hours, however, it is nice to know that you could wear them for an extended period of time or overnight if you would like to. For me, it is just not personally comfortable to wear any type of stick on treatment for that long.
How to Use: The Oxygen Eye masks can be applied two or three times a week for up to 8-hours for each treatment. It is so easy, you literally just stick these eye masks on and you are good-to-go. The cooling feel of the pads is so refreshing and depuffing! After cleansing your face, apply each mask gently, but firmly, so your skin can begin to absorb the important nutrients held by the mask. VIIcode recommends that this product is best used shortly before going to sleep, as it is designed to strengthen and hydrate skin over an eight-hour period, However, I don't usually wear them that long nor overnight. Repeat this process once per day until you achieve your desired results.
- The VIIcode eye masks are made of a gel-like material.
- The eye masks provide “Aerobic skin care”: This is based on the notion that oxygen is essential for the formation of new cells, and when skin receives the right amount of oxygen, healthy skin will develop as a result. As such, this eye mask is designed to allow for oxygen flow during the entire time you are wearing it in order to spur healthy cell growth and provide skin with a brighter appearance.
- "Fake" 8 hours of sleep: Don't we all wish we could get 8-hours of sleep? Well, you can fake it with a good eye mask! These masks can be worn up to 8-hours when often most eye masks are worn 15-30 mins.

As I mentioned, I did not wear these eye masks for the full 8-hours. I tended to use them for 30min-1 hour treatments as that is what I was comfortable doing and what fit naturally into my beauty routine. However, it is nice to know that, if you wanted to, you could wear these for a full 8-hours as a longer beauty treatment overnight. I did like the soothing feel of these eye masks. Did my dark circles go away? No, but I honestly do not expect any beauty treatment to get rid of my hereditary dark circles. However, I do feel that these eye masks leave my eyes feeling refreshed and do help to rejuvinate the eye area and minimize fine lines. Also, I feel like the cooling nature of the gel pads really worked well to depuff the eye area. Plus, I like the whole concept of spa-like products like this that can give you a spa mask experiance at home. These masks are expensive. However, if you are looking for a little beauty treat to yourself for a spa-like mask at home, then treat yourself to these!
