Description
NMN Spa Treatment — Rejuvenating Patches for Eyes & Nasolabial Folds, 60 pcs
Overview
Leave-on patches shaped for the delicate skin around the eyes and along the nasolabial folds. Each patch is soaked in an essence built around NMN (nicotinamide mononucleotide), a form of vitamin B3, together with peptides and water-soluble proteoglycan. They give a light cooling feel and are scented with natural lavender and rosemary rather than synthetic fragrance.
Spa Treatment is a professional skincare line from the Japanese manufacturer Wave Corporation, sold mainly through salons and aesthetic clinics in Japan. The eX range is its salon-grade tier.
One point worth correcting from older descriptions of these patches: the “snake venom” ingredient is a synthetic peptide that imitates a molecule found in snake venom — it is made in a laboratory and contains no actual venom. The FAQ explains this.

Full Ingredients
Actives named by the manufacturer: NMN (nicotinamide mononucleotide), a synthetic snake-venom-mimicking peptide (the SYN-AKE type of tripeptide — see the FAQ; it is laboratory-made and contains no actual venom), peptides III, IV and V, and water-soluble proteoglycan. Fragrance is provided by natural lavender and rosemary oils rather than synthetic fragrance.
This is an actives list, not a complete INCI. The essence that soaks the patches also contains water, humectants, film-formers and a preservative system that the manufacturer's summary does not spell out; we have not filled in the rest. Read the full list printed on the jar.
Allergen note: the natural lavender and rosemary oils are botanical fragrance components — if you react to essential oils, see Cautions.
Ingredient list as declared by the manufacturer. Formulations are occasionally revised, so always read the list printed on the package you receive.
Cautions
- Contains natural lavender and rosemary essential oils as fragrance. These are botanical allergens — if you react to essential oils or fragrance, patch test first and avoid if you have a known sensitivity.
- For use around the eye area, not in the eye. Keep the patch and its essence out of the eyes; if essence enters an eye, rinse immediately with plenty of water.
- This is a targeted leave-on step, not a replacement for daily moisturiser or sunscreen.
- Patch test on the inner forearm before first use, especially if your skin is reactive.
- Discontinue use and consult a doctor if redness, itching, swelling or persistent stinging occurs.
- Avoid contact with the eyes. If the product enters the eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water.
- Do not apply to broken, sunburned or actively inflamed skin.
- Keep out of reach of children. Store away from direct sunlight and high temperatures.

FAQ
Does this really contain snake venom?
No. Older descriptions describe a “snake venom” ingredient, and that is misleading. The ingredient is a synthetic peptide of the SYN-AKE type — a laboratory-made molecule (a tripeptide) designed to imitate the way a peptide found in temple-viper venom relaxes expression muscles. It is manufactured chemically and contains no actual venom and no animal material. So the marketing borrows the “snake” image, but what is in the patch is a cosmetic peptide, not venom.
What does NMN do in a skincare patch?
NMN (nicotinamide mononucleotide) is a form of vitamin B3. It is best known from the supplement world, where it is studied for cell energy metabolism, and much of that research is about NMN taken by mouth, not applied to skin. In a topical patch, the honest position is that NMN is a well-tolerated vitamin-B3 relative used as an active, and the patch also delivers hydration and peptides to the area. We would not promise it rewinds ageing — treat it as a hydrating, conditioning targeted step.
How is it different from a full under-eye cream?
A patch delivers a concentrated dose of essence to a specific area for a set number of minutes, then comes off, which some people like before an event or in the morning. A cream is a daily leave-on step. They are not mutually exclusive — many people use patches occasionally and a cream every day. The 60-patch jar here makes it practical to use them regularly rather than saving them for special occasions.
Is this product halal or suitable for vegans?
The much-discussed “snake venom” peptide is synthetic, so it is not animal-derived; however proteoglycan can be of animal origin and the full INCI is not published here, so we cannot confirm the product is vegan. The product carries no halal certification — Japanese domestic cosmetics are rarely certified — so if certification itself matters to you, this product does not have it.
Will I pay customs duty or import VAT?
That depends on your country and on the declared value of the parcel, not on us. We ship from Japan with a correct customs declaration and full tracking; any duty or import VAT your country charges is collected by your local carrier or customs office on delivery. Check your national de-minimis threshold before ordering if you want to avoid a surprise.
