There are two masks in each pack, so one for each eye. This is 12 uses if you use them on your eyes.

12 treatments, plus the extra serum in the pack (which you can smooth on other parts of your face or hands). It works out to a month to 6 weeks of treatments if you use as directed (which I don't -- I use them before special events for smoothing that doesn't interfere with makeup).

There's 12 eye masks, (two pieces in each pack).
You can extend your mask another 12-24 hours for an extra use after finishing the first 15 minute treatment, Carefully place each eye pad back into the plastic eye tray and back into the foil packet immediately after the 15 minutes are up. Place into a small Ziploc bag (do not use a zipper type) and seal. This method has worked well for me to get another application within 24 hours after the first use. Keep it stored from any heat source or the oils will dry out!

Question
Should I wash my eyes/face after applying the mask for 15 minutes?
Should I wash my eyes/face after applying the mask for 15 minutes, or should I leave the product (liquid retinol) on only throwing away the mask (paper) itself? The information in the box does not clarify if one has to wash the face after using the mask.

Do not wash up after using this. In fact, dab your finger into the remaining liquid and rub on your lips--don't waste a drop. After the 15 minute treatment, gentle pat your eyes to ensure that all is absorbed.

No -- rub (gently) or allow it to air dry. The woman at Saks who first sold it to me also mentioned that there is extra lotion inside the package and on the tray that the pads are packed in -- smooth that over the edges of your lips, smile lines, etc.

I wash my face before using so any dirt, oils or make-up residue is off. I then tone. I find applying these in bed works best since you don't waste any of the oils in the packaging if you're lying down. I do not wash my eye area after, but wait to apply my eye creams and make-up until the oils from the mask have fully absorbed into my skin. This also gives your skin added moisturizing benefits.

DO NOT WASH YOUR FACE AFTER USING THE EYE PATCHES! These are to be used when you are about to put on your make-up for going out, or going to work, and you want to cover up deep wrinkles under your eyes, or refresh your eyes. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

There are 12 treatments in the box. However, I read another review from someone saying she re-used them, which I thought would be pointless. However, when you lift the pads out of the tray, there is a good bit of the cream still in the tray. So I took her advice and I replaced the pads, added a few drops of water, sealed them in a ziplock, and am using them a second time. I think the other reviewer said she was using them three times, but I don't see enough solution left after the second time to do that. I'm sure the effects aren't as strong the second time, but on the other hand, why throw that remaining cream away, you know? I am getting twenty-four uses from a box that way, which feels more tolerable to me, expense-wise.

Directions say to use the pads immediately after cleansing - presumably before moisturizing. However, the pads are infused with a moisturizer & even though I have very dry, aging skin & fine lines, I haven't found it necessary to use an eye cream afterward.

Not reusable. The product is absorbed from the pads into the skin over 15-20 minutes, & I find that at the end of that time, the pads are pretty much dry (while my eyes look great).
