# Transdermal Patch Jars Patchology's Eye and Lip Gels are Sold in Jars, Rather Than Sachets By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2016-04-27 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/patchology References: [packworld](http://www.packworld.com/package-design/structural/transdermal-eye-lip-patches-are-genius-jar) & [patchology](http://www.patchology.com/collections/flashpatch) Most women are familiar with seeing [eye and lip gels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/collagen-eye-masks) packaged in individual sachets, but Patchology deviates from this norm in order to reduce the cost of the patches it is able to sell. Individually packaged transdermal gels can cost between $5-10 per use, which means that consumers are more likely to reserve the treatment only for special occasions. In contrast, Patchology packs 60 patches (30 pairs) of its [FlashPatch Eye Gels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/immortelle-precious-eye-patches) into a single container in a ying-yang formation to make the most of the space available. The FlashPatch Eye Revive and [Lip Renewal gels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hydra-jelly-pocket-lip-jam) are made with a medical-grade hydrogel and the HydraSurge5 moisture system that's able to moisturize the skin in five minutes. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.9/10 - Popularity: 13% | Activity: 7% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Cosmetics](https://www.trendhunter.com/cosmetics) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Cost-effective Packaging:** Packaging products in jars rather than sachets reduces costs and makes treatments more accessible. - **Space Optimization:** Arranging patches in a ying-yang formation maximizes the use of available space. - **Medical-grade Hydrogel Technology:** Using a medical-grade hydrogel with the HydraSurge5 moisture system provides effective skin hydration in a short amount of time. ### Who This Affects Most - **Beauty and Skincare:** In the beauty and skincare industry, companies can explore cost-effective packaging solutions to make their products more appealing to consumers. - **Pharmaceuticals:** Pharmaceutical companies can leverage space optimization techniques to enhance the convenience and efficiency of their transdermal patches. - **Medical Technology:** In the medical technology industry, there is an opportunity to further develop and improve medical-grade hydrogel technology for various applications. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Smoothing Eye Patches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/instant-firmx-collagen-infusion.md) - [Multi-Action Eye Patches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peptide-collagen-hydrogel-eye-patch.md) - [Vitamin C-Enriched Hydro-Gel Patches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hydrogel-patches.md) - [Plumping Lip Patches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vitamasques-instant-lip-filler-microdart-patch.md) - [Single-Dose Lip Plumpers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hydrating-lip-plumping-capsules.md) - [Awakening Undereye Patches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jet-lag-eye-patches.md) - [Anti-Aging Beauty Patches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/face-smoothing-patches.md) - [Sensorial Lip Jellies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hydra-jelly-pocket-lip-jam.md) - [Rejuvenating Eye Patches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/immortelle-precious-eye-patches.md)
