MICRO-NEEDLE UNDER-EYE PATCHES

Beautical microneedles for under-eyes – the future of skincare you can use while you sleep

When it comes to skincare around the eyes, not only the cosmetic's composition matters, but primarily the method of delivering active ingredients where they are most needed. This is why Beautical eye patches with dissolvable microneedles are one of the most innovative technologies used in modern cosmetology today.

These are not classic hydrogel patches. They are an advanced system that combines precise microneedle technology with a high concentration of active ingredients, making the skincare significantly more effective than traditional masks or creams.

What are cosmetic microneedles?

The word "needles" might sound a bit alarming, but in reality, they are incredibly gentle.

The microneedles used in Beautical patches are microscopic cones made almost entirely of active ingredients. They are thinner than a human hair, so when the patch is applied to the skin, they gently penetrate the outermost layer of the epidermis without causing damage or pain.

Upon contact with the skin, the microneedles gradually dissolve, releasing concentrated active substances exactly where they are most needed.

This solution was developed to mitigate one of the biggest drawbacks of classic cosmetics – the limited ability of larger molecules to penetrate the stratum corneum of the epidermis. Research on dissolvable microneedles shows that they can deliver active ingredients more effectively to the superficial layers of the skin than traditional preparations applied only to its surface.

How do Beautical patches work?

The secret to their effectiveness lies in the unique design of the patch.

Each patch consists of two elements:

• microneedles made of soluble active substances.
• a hydrogel base, which maintains proper hydration and adheres stably to the skin.

During the treatment, active ingredients are released under finger pressure. Water evaporates, leaving a highly concentrated structure forming micro-cones.

In Beautical patches, up to 80% of the microneedles are active ingredients, primarily:

• sodium hyaluronate,
• Peptides -ACETYL HEXAPEPTIDE-8,
• Centella asiatica
• Trehalose.

After application, the microneedles gradually begin to dissolve in the skin. The process takes approximately 2 hours, but the manufacturer recommends leaving the patches on overnight. This gives the active ingredients more time to work, and the hydrogel remains stably adhered to the skin, without shifting during sleep.

Why does the eye area require special care?

The skin around the eyes is one of the thinnest on the entire body. It is almost devoid of fatty tissue and contains fewer sebaceous glands than other parts of the face.

This is precisely why:

• it loses water more quickly,
• it is more prone to dryness,
• fine lines and wrinkles appear earlier,
• signs of fatigue are most visible under the eyes.

Modern technologies, such as dissolvable microneedles, were created precisely for the care of these most demanding skin areas.

Active ingredients that really make a difference

Sodium Hyaluronate

This is one of the best-researched derivatives of hyaluronic acid.

Compared to classic hyaluronic acid, it has a smaller molecular weight, making it easier to bind water and more effectively interact with the epidermis.

Its most important properties:

• intensely moisturizes,
• helps reduce transepidermal water loss (TEWL),
• supports skin elasticity,
• optically smoothes fine lines resulting from dehydration.

One molecule of sodium hyaluronate can bind many times its weight in water, which is why it has remained one of the pillars of effective anti-aging skincare for many years.

Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 – a peptide inspired by the action of botulinum toxin

Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 is one of the most recognizable cosmetic peptides.

It is sometimes referred to as "Botox in a cream" or "Botox in a jar," but it is important to note that this is solely a marketing term.

The peptide does not act like botulinum toxin and does not replace aesthetic medicine treatments.

However, studies indicate that it can reduce the visibility of mimic wrinkles and improve skin appearance, especially when effectively delivered to the epidermis. This is precisely why the combination of this peptide with dissolvable microneedle technology is currently the subject of numerous scientific studies.

Trehalose – natural protection against moisture loss

Trehalose is a natural sugar found, among others, in desert plants.

Its function is to:

• support hydration,
• protect cells from oxidative stress,
• improve skin comfort,
• support the skin's protective barrier.

Thanks to this, the skin remains softer and more comfortable after using the patches.

Centella asiatica – a plant beloved by dermatologists

Centella asiatica, also known as CICA, has been one of the most highly regarded cosmetic ingredients for years.

Its main active ingredient – madecassoside – exhibits the following properties:

• soothing,
• supporting skin barrier restoration,
• antioxidant,
• supporting natural skin regeneration processes.

Research reviews also indicate that Centella asiatica can support collagen synthesis and improve overall skin condition, especially skin exposed to photoaging.

Why should you leave the patches on overnight?

The manufacturer recommends using the patches during sleep, and this is no coincidence.

Within a few hours:

• the microneedles completely dissolve,
• active ingredients have more time for gradual release,
• the hydrogel reduces water evaporation from the skin's surface,
• the patches remain stably in place.

This makes the eye area look more rested, fresh, and better hydrated in the morning.

Are microneedles safe?

Yes – dissolvable microneedles used in cosmetology are designed to dissolve completely.

These are not the needles used in professional microneedling treatments performed by a cosmetologist or doctor.

Research on dissolvable microneedle technology indicates good tolerance and minimal discomfort during application. A temporary sensation of gentle tingling or slight pressure may occur, which is a natural effect of the micro-cones contacting the skin.

BEAUTICAL microneedle eye patches BEAUTICAL (available at beetles.shop) have a completely safe, clean, and minimalist composition, free from any unauthorized or legally prohibited substances. The product is based on an innovative, painless technology of self-dissolving micro-cones (crystallites). These deliver active ingredients directly to the stratum corneum, bypassing the epidermal barrier without damaging blood vessels.
The formula does not contain any carcinogenic, mutagenic, or reprotoxic substances (CMR).
The formula is completely free of parabens, phenoxyethanol, formaldehyde donors, silicones, microplastics, and artificial colorants and fragrances (Parfum). The absence of fragrance drastically reduces the risk of contact allergies in such a delicate area as the eye contour.

From a health and dermatological perspective, BEAUTICAL microneedle patches are a product with an impeccable, almost pharmaceutical purity of ingredients. A short INCI list minimizes the risk of any adverse reactions. Microneedle technology ensures that the ingredients do not "lie" on the surface but act transdermally, providing real therapeutic effects in reducing wrinkles and skin dryness.
