The Cala refreshing eye pads are compact, gel-filled discs designed for quick temperature therapy. These pads are particularly useful for targeted cooling around the eyes and feature a decorative cucumber print. The internal sodium polyacrylate gel is encased in a phthalate-free PVC shell. Because they are smaller than a full mask, they "flash-freeze" very quickly, making them a convenient option for a fast 10-minute cooling session.
Specifications indicate the PVC casing is approximately 0.25mm thick. Because this is thinner than many full-sized masks, the pads should be handled gently to avoid punctures. Technical reports suggest that the seams can be sensitive to extreme temperature shifts, so it is best to allow them to warm up slightly before applying significant pressure. If you choose to use them for warmth, avoiding high microwave settings will help preserve the ink of the cucumber print and the integrity of the seals.
Home Storage Tips
- Keep the pads in a small lidded container in the refrigerator to keep them clean and ready.
- Avoid overheating to prevent the decorative print from transferring.
- Use these for short, 5-10 minute sessions for the best thermal performance.
While these pads are excellent for aesthetic use and quick cooling, they do not retain their temperature as long as larger, bead-based masks. They are a lightweight and fun addition to a skincare routine, though they are best suited for light use rather than heavy-duty therapeutic needs.
For a more durable cooling tool with a secure head strap, the Myhalos gel eye mask offers a longer-lasting cooling effect.
