It’s no coincidence that a solid number of serums are meant to be applied at nighttime.
“Skin uses nighttime to repair itself, reversing all the damage that was caused by sun exposure, stress, and pollution during the day,” Austin-based dermatologist Ted Lain, M.D., told SELF. “Dermatologists attempt to take advantage of this natural process by augmenting it with products that facilitate the repair and regrowth process, for example, products that include growth factors, stem cell stimulators, retinol, and DNA-repairing enzymes.”
It’s important to read labels carefully when picking and choosing serums — like this amazing option that is steadily becoming a favorite of Sephora customers: PEACE OUT Microneedling Anti-Wrinkle Retinol Patches.
Unlike traditional serums, this formula is applied in patches that you place directly over areas where you are experiencing fine lines and wrinkles — think the 11’s between the brows, laugh lines, and forehead creases. The serum is absorbed into skin and then continues to work its magic while you sleep.

So, what’s so special about this serum? It’s all about its effective ingredients — which include:
1. Retinol to reduce the appearance of fine lines.
2. Vitamin C to brighten skin and neutralize free radicals.
3. Peptides that support collagen production and minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Although this patch serum doesn’t boasts hundreds or thousands of reviewers (just yet), it has racked up a perfect 5-star review and more than 10,000 “loves” on Sephora.
One reviewer writes: “I’m in my early 50s with sensitive skin and was soooo AMAZED to see how these made my small under eye lines fade! I honestly didn’t expect to see much change since these little lines have been with me for many years, but I totally noticed a difference!!! Those micro needles even feel good when you apply the patches.”
Another reviewer raves: “They are extremely easy to use! After less than 2 weeks of using on my “11’s” I was able to see a significant difference, the deep creases were almost gone! I highly recommend these little miracle patches!”
Give the patches a try and see an improvement in your skin texture — while you do nothing more than rest and sleep.
