Welcome to Thanks, It’s From TikTok, my little corner of the internet where I review cool shit I find on the all-consuming clock app. These hidden gems deserve way more hype, so follow along on Cosmo’s TikTok as I test ’em out before you make the buy.

One thing about me? I don’t sleep…like, ever. And it’s been an issue my entire life. Anyone who knows me knows it’s damn near impossible for me to drift off at a reasonable hour—even when I’m absolutely exhausted. To say it’s annoying would be the understatement of the year. I’m constantly looking for solutions (and no, investing in a high-quality hybrid mattress hasn’t helped!), so I was extremely excited when I saw the Renpho Eye Massager pop up on my TikTok For You Page.

This high-tech device claims to provide spa-quality relaxation for a deeper sleep (!!!) as well as alleviate headaches, migraines, and under-eye bags. It features a compression massager, built-in heating pads that can reach up to 107 degrees, and Bluetooth capabilities so you can listen to relaxing music or guided meditations while wearing it. A sleep-deprived girl like me obviously had to try it for the second installment of Thanks, It’s From TikTok.

Real talk? The Renpho Eye Massager is totally worth the hype.

The best part is that it usually retails for $129.99, but right now it's on sale on Amazon for $51.79 and renpho.com for $60.99. That's over 50% off on both sites! Plus, Cosmo readers can use the exclusive discount code COSMO on renpho.com to receive an additional 15% off all eye massagers throughout the month of April. Yeah, bb, I did that just for you. Keep scrolling to learn all the reasons why this techy mask is a solid investment and literally cured my sleep woes.

What are the benefits of the Renpho Eye Massager?

The Renpho Eye Massager does, in fact, do everything it claims to do—namely, help soothe the eye area and alleviate headaches, migraines, and, according to my research, hangovers. I put it on after grabbing a bagel and a Gatorade (my Sunday morning routine) and voilà! That simple little self-care routine totally brought me back to life and soothed my headache from drinking one too many espresso martinis the night before.

It also helped me enter a state of maximum relaxation before bed, or, ya know, during my lunch break. When I wore it in the morning while drinking my coffee (my daily quiet time routine that usually lasts between 10 and 20 minutes, depending on how tired I am lol), I also noticed that it depuffed my undereye area quite a bit! (The massage mode inflates and deflates in an oscillating motion around acupressure points, so it has a similar effect as de-puffing skincare tools like ice rollers or globes.)

Is the Renpho Eye Massager comfortable?

Yes, it's surprisingly comfortable to wear! Before I put it on for the first time, I was most skeptical about the fact that the Renpho Eye Massager is practically a headset…which couldn't possibly be relaxing, right? I mean, has anyone else tried on a VR headset before…? Not for me. But the thing is, the eye massager's got adjustable head straps so you can make it as loose or as tight as you want, plus the weight of the mask itself serves as an element of compression against your head, kind of like a weighted blanket.

You know when your brain is absolutely throbbing after staring at your computer all day long and the only thing that helps is applying pressure to your temples with your fingertips? (If you suffer from migraines and headaches, you definitely know what I'm talking about.) Well, lying down with this 3.3-pound device over your eyes essentially creates the same sense of relief—only you don't have to use your arms, lol. And remember, this is coming from someone who needs *perfect* conditions to fall asleep. Even silk sleeping masks bother me, but this fancy-schmancy one does not!

Will the Renpho Eye Massager actually help me sleep better?

Ah yes, the million-dollar question. Drum roll, pleaaase! I'm happy to report that, yes, the Renpho Eye Massager helped me fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer. It passed my rigorous test—which was basically me climbing into bed, turning it on, and hoping for the best. Compared to a normal night, when it usually takes me an hour or two to fall asleep, I was snoozing in 10 to 15 minutes thanks to the eye massager.

If you, too, suffer from insomnia, you know it can be extremely hard to stay off your phone late at night when you’re just staring at the ceiling for hours on end. I found that wearing the Renpho Eye Massager before bed forced me to enter a pitch-black, ~distraction-free~ zone. It kept my mind focused on the glorious, heated massage instead of what was happening on Instagram, which helped me transition into snooze mode much faster than usual. After about 10 minutes, I took it off and went right to sleep.

Even if you don't have a hard time falling asleep, limiting your screen time—especially at night—is still a good idea because it can help reduce stress, reduce eye strain, and improve your attention span. I mean, I know I sound like a total millennial, but scrolling before bed is really Not! Good! For! You! If you wear this mask before bed, you’re inherently not looking at your screen, so it’ll help put an end to that mindless habit of picking up your phone and scrolling for hours…and hours…and hours.

Is the Renpho Eye Massager worth it?

If you've made it this far, you can probably predict what I'm about to say: YES, this baby is so worth the money! Especially considering the fact that it’s on supersale right now, and we’ve got an exclusive discount for you—just use code COSMO at checkout to receive an additional 15% off any Renpho eye massagers.

If your sleep routine is in need of a makeover or you experience crippling headaches or migraines, you won't regret adding this self-care item to your cart—promise. Even if you don't have a hard time falling asleep and your head feels just fine most of the time, you have my permission to treat yourself to a little R & R, courtesy of the Renpho Eye Massager. Life is hard and stressful and busy, so go ahead, I support you!
