Just how does 65-year-old Allison Janney look so fresh? From her part in Palm Royale to The Diplomat, the actress looks stunning - and I trawled through her Instagram to find out her secret.

  • Allison Janney stars in The Diplomat and Palm Royale.
  • The Oscar-winning actress is looking stunning - and she loves a drugstore beauty product.
  • The 65-year-old rates these SilcSkin Silicone Eye Pads: "These pads are making my skin look and feel amazing!"

The Oscar-winning actress is no stranger to showing her go-to beauty essentials, but it was her love of the SilcSkin Silicone Eye Pads that had me sitting up and taking notice. She posted on her grid while pictured with a box of the eye patches: "These pads are making my skin look and feel amazing!!!"

The Oscar-winning actress is no stranger to showing her go-to beauty essentials, but it was her love of the SilcSkin Silicone Eye Pads that had me sitting up and taking notice. She posted on her grid while pictured with a box of the eye patches: "These pads are making my skin look and feel amazing!!!"

With all the traveling, late nights and early call times this woman does, these anti-ageing under-eye masks clearly work as she looks incredible.

So what's the deal with the SilcSkin Silicone Eye Pads? And why does Allison love them so much?

According to the brand, they're medical-grade silicone eye pads to help with puffiness, crepiness, and dark circles caused by aging, sun exposure, and sleeping on the side. They're designed to be worn for either 10-minutes after applying your eye product, which the patches help to absorb further into the skin, or wear overnight without product; what sets these apart from other under eye patches is that they're reusable. Wash after use, and they're ready to go again for the next wear. 

EXACT PRODUCT: SilcSkin Silicone Reusable Eye Pads

The brand suggests they can be reused around 20 times, so the cost per wear is pennies.

What are verified shoppers saying about SilcSkin Silicone Eye Pads?

"They do work," reads one review.  "I have used them for the past month or so for compression wrinkles (side sleeping). My eyes look a lot better, more smoothed out where there were compression marks from sleeping on my side."

Another called them a "game changing fine line treatment" and explained that if you look after the pads, they can be reused many more times than expected. Users suggest washing them with Dr Bronner's Liquid Soap, and leaving to dry sticky side up. 

Another simply wrote: "These stick well and works great. Love these! Easy on and easy off."
