Pampering the eyes is just as important. This snazzy ophthalmologist approved IRIS eye massager is made from medical-grade silicone that resists bacteria buildup and utilises alternating T-Sonic™ technology to reduce the visible signs of crow’s feet, dark circles and bags under your eyes. What we loved the most were the two modes. Pure Mode replicates a manual massage while Spa Mode took us back to a classy beauty clinic treatment by combining tapping with delicate pulsations.
