SOFTEN & SMOOTH WRINKLES – Frownies Wrinkle Patches naturally smooth static wrinkles and fine lines on the forehead and between the eyes. These anti- wrinkle patches are non-comedogenic and safe for sensitive skin. An easy last step in your skincare routine
NATURAL, SIMPLE, EFFECTIVE – Skip injectables with our natural, non-invasive alternative. Frownies are suitable for all ages and made from weighted unbleached Kraft paper and a water-activated starch-based adhesive. Our forehead patches are free from harsh chemicals and never tested on animals
CONSISTENCY MATTERS – Our Facial Patches are an overnight frown line treatment that splints facial muscles, lifts lines and relaxes facial tension, unlike other beauty face tapes. Regular use is important for sustained results. Use our wrinkle patches for a minimum of 30 consecutive nights, then as needed
EASY APPLICATION – Tear the patches along the perforations. Wet the shiny side with warm water or our Rose Water Hydrator. Wait a few moments to let the adhesive get tacky/sticky. Apply patches, overlapping and covering the full forehead. Wear while you sleep or for a minimum of 3 hours

First off, the smell is funkkkay. Idk what it is but it’s definitely there. It kinda fades when they dry down. I had no issues with sticking or sliding. What I did was wet a finger and lightly rub the back then wait for it to get tacky and apply using outward motions in both directions. It creates a nice cast. I was using surgical tape, and prefer these because the tape was making my skin “sweat” only in that area and I would also get slightly irritated. I do have oily, acne prone, sensitive skin. These last really well until you take them off. I gently work them off with rubbing water and sliding my finger. Okay price. You get more out of surgical tape.. but these are more firm. I like that you can shape them because I have more of a three head than a forehead, and most things tend to be too large for my face. I did used to get Botox as I have a genetic line down my forehead, and am super expressive, but haven’t had it in over a year (and I was faithfully getting it every 3 months on the dot for a few years), I only need to use this weekly or of if I feel I need to retrain my muscles. I realized I do not like Botox as it was making my eyebrows go lower when they’re naturally higher changing my face.. so this is a way better alternative for me personally. Also after you’ve gotten your shape all set out, you can use a facially spray and kind of make sure it’s all laid down and no lifting! Then don’t touch it and let it set into place. These are a win for me. I have no before pics of lines to compare unfortunately. This is upkeep for me!

Fantastic product! For reference, I have extremely sensitive skin and had zero irritation from Frownies. I was using silicone tape for a while on my 11 lines but it never held tight like I wanted it to. Frownies are the KEY! I use 4-5 patches every night on my forehead and create the cast as the instructions say. THEY WORK! (Even with skincare) you will get a solid stick/cast feel. As for the smell, it smells like cardboard with glue on it. It’s not a terrible smell at all like some reviews state. It smells sterile. I also noticed after a week of using so far, that I don’t feel myself using my forehead muscles as much which is great. Training in progress. Also, I was getting some tension headaches from staring at a laptop all day. When I use the Frownies any muscle straining instantly goes away and feels much better. I sleep in them and stay on perfectly all night.

I am in my late 30s have tried Frownies off and on for years. I have a very expressive face with deep 11 lines and forehead wrinkles. Wearing these overnight I see a noticeable improvement in my 11 lines in the morning, but the results never last longer than an hour. Because applying these easily doubles the length of my usual nighttime routine and having them on is a complete intimacy killer (and they also scare my young child), I’ve never wore them every night, usually doing a few nights here and there. Most recently I committed to using a single box start to finish, wearing them every night in a row until the box was done. Now I can officially say I’m not impressed.
I had no issues with application, fragrance, or skin irritation, although I’d occasionally get a breakout or two in areas I never get them when I used Frownies, and sometimes the edges of the patches would leave creases in my skin where I didn’t have wrinkles before (especially the corners, which tend to curl). My forehead did look noticeably better in the morning after wearing them 10+ hours overnight but those results don’t last throughout the day, not even close (although using them regularly did make my forehead extra shiny). I suspect all the before and after photos are from people taking a picture before putting them on and then being photographed immediately after removing them. Maybe if you start using these in your early 20s, have great, well hydrated skin with few wrinkles to begin with, and use these religiously I could absolutely see them preventing the development of wrinkles as you sleep, but I think the idea of them “splinting your muscles and training you not to activate your forehead muscles” is absolute garbage. These do not give lasting results if you actually have wrinkles. I also didn’t notice any difference from using them once or using them consistently.
Additionally, 144 patches refers to the small triangle shape, not the square shape. I use 8 triangles (three larger squares and two smaller triangles) to cover my wrinkles, if I wanted to cover my entire forehead I’d have to use 10. I have a pretty average sized forehead (certainly not large), so anyone using just 4-6 patches (as Frownies suggests is enough for most users) either has a tiny forehead or is only covering a small area of their forehead. At 8 patches per night, a single box lasts just 18 days. I’d need to use 1 2/3 boxes a month to wear them for 30 days (as suggested to see results), so at $25/box that’s $41.67/month. Cheaper than Botox I guess, but certainly not cheap. And not worth the price of no results.
Previously, I always gave Frownies the benefit of the doubt, since I never wore them consistently for more than a week, so I thought maybe I’d have better luck if I used them every night. Now that I’ve used a whole box start to finish and worked out the cost of everyday use, I can firmly say I would not recommend them and will not be purchasing them again. They may work for a small subset of the population, but they are certainly not as good as the advertising claims.
