Frownies Forehead & Between the Eyes Wrinkle Patches, 144 Count

I tried Frownies as a more natural approach to the lines i started noticing forming on my forehead and between my brows. I tend to have a RBF lol and tense my face muscles when I sleep. Im 33 and my lines weren't super deep, but definitely getting more noticeable. These are a great natural alternative to botox. OK, so lots of reviews say it smells bad, so much so that its unbearable. If you put it right up to your nose, its not a pleasant smell, but who does that? But still not unbearable by any means. I cant smell it when its on my face. Its obviously sort of annoying to have to put these on your face every night, but im pretty consistent and because the results are insanely good, I dont mind. Its like a cast on your forehead, and it dries super quick. Keeps everything in place, flattens out the lines and keeps your face from scrunching. I see results as soon as I take them off in the morning and my forehead is super smooth. So satisfying! Now granted, the results are not permanent the first few days/weeks (depending on the person). Ive been doing this probably for 5 months now and I've missed a few nights here and there, but for the most part im consistent. The first few days/weeks id take them off in the morning and was discouraged to find the lines come back by the time I was done with my morning coffee. But as time went on the gap between when the lines would return got longer. Im more relaxed in my muscles and the lines do not return for the whole day. Now they would return if I skipped a day or so, so I try not to do that. Im hopefully going to get to the point where i only need to do it a few times a week, but i havent tested that out yet. Also, my lines werent super deep, so I know for others it might take longer for lasting results. So ill say again, consistency! If you are ok with committing to putting these on every night, then go for it! Also I've seen reviews complain about them hurting to remove. Just put some water on your finger tips, wet underneath the frownie edge and push your finger under the frownie so the water can soften the sticky part. It will come up with minimal pull. I also just use plain warm water to stick them on my face, I did not buy the rose water. Works fine. I cut to size ones for the sides of my mouth usually too, cause I am a side sleeper and they help tremendously with keeping that area flattened. Anyway, good option for keeping my lines smooth for right now, and it feels great to look fresher😊 sorry I didnt think to take a before picture when I started, but I have this after of my forehead a few hours after taking frownies off in the natural light now. No makeup obviously (hadn't put my eyebrows on for the day lol), just my tallow moisturizer.

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!

I waited until I had finished the entire box (which took a little over a month) before writing this review. I've used other anti-wrinkle tapes, and I think these work pretty well for how low-tech they are. I'm 58 and have deep, permanent lines across my forehead that no amount of patches is going to erase. However, what these do well is prevent new creases from forming. The patches are water-activated (I spritz mine), and you just stick them on like a postage stamp. They dry quickly and form a hard mask that keeps your forehead from moving. That part is good, but the bad part is that they STINK. Like, literally. They smell terrible. I can only imagine the sad horse they made the glue out of. But if you can handle that, they work fairly well. Taking them off isn't terrible. They stick well, but not so hard that you feel like your skin is ripping off along with it. There's usually a little glue residue left on my skin but that comes off with a little splash of water. Honestly, I wish these were cheaper, but I do think they work fairly well.

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.

Will update review after extended use - this is after my first use: Mixed feelings. Definitely not as smooth as they make them look on all their hype social media and advertisements. It was a bit tough getting them to stick. In one video they said to let them sit a moment but then they dried and didn’t stick, and a second application of moisture to the back side made them feel like they wouldn’t stick so I sat there with hands pressed against them for what seemed like forever to get them to stay on. Hopefully this was first time awkwardness and I will get better at application. They also are stinky, but better stinky than chemicals that make them smell good, I just hope that’s the case. I slept with them and was woken up a few times by my face stretching against the pillow and the patches yanking hairs out! lol! Ouch! Well, this won’t be an issue either after a few more uses because those baby hairs will be GONE! Removal with warm water was easy; I splashed it on and brushed my teeth then splash again and they came right off. Don’t rush it. Box was so small and underwhelming for the cost. Can I make this with starch and paper? Anyway gals and guys, I’ll update this review when my two weeks of frequent if not daily use is up. Update after box is all gone: verdict is that they don’t do much. I couldn’t see any difference between the before and after. I think the truth might be such that if you don’t have lines these might slow down the appearance of new lines, but for me, they cost too much for how little they do. I also found it hard to sleep with them on because the pointy corners poked my face as I rolled over and it woke me up. I wanted more from this product and am so sad they are a bust. I would not recommend this product to my friends and family.

I’ll share my experience so far, (3 months/boxes in) but I also think it’s unfair to review these after just one box. Using Frownies is like working out- the more consistent you are with using them over a long period of time, the better the results. I am noticing some softening of my forehead lines so far, but just as they disclaim on their website, you may see them come back as the day goes on at first. But the longer you use them, the more those lines will stay smoothed out. A few cons: - These have learning curve to apply. I think after about a week, I figured out how to lay them in a pattern on my forehead that worked for me. They also take TIME to apply, so if you’re not a person who likes to do a nightly skin care routine, they may not be for you. - They do have an odor since the adhesive on the back is a natural adhesive. It reminds me of the adhesive on an envelope. I use their rose water hydrator for application to combat the scent and using a spray bottle is much easier for application vs running them under water. - The box comes with 144 patches, but I use about 3-4 patches a night to cover my forehead. So a box lasts me about a month. Will I continue using them? Yes, esp since I’m pregnant and plan to breastfeed after, I can’t get Botox for the time being. I may update this review after a year to share my results after a longer period of time.

O.M.G. Seriously these are magic! I did not believe all the hype until I tried them for myself. While results and longevity vary I do find that immediately after use and for at least a few days my wrinkles are noticeably less visible. I apply them overnight or several hours before an event. Once they are completely dry you can easily remove them by re-wetting entirely. If they aren’t fully soaked they will tug at your skin a bit and feel like you’re pulling off a bandaid.

About me: I’m a very facially expressive 25 year old with the genetic predisposition for all the fine lines and wrinkles. Currently my forehead and frown lines are the most prominent and are starting to linger there for the majority of the day. They don’t bother me much and my goal for this product was the prevention of the lines deepening over time and becoming more permanent. Because I work in dermatology I’ve been privy to trying Botox on my 11s as it’s one of the recommended preventative treatments for fine lines and wrinkles. About the product: This product has an application learning curve. The glue is sticky and smells of peppermint and applying these patches is kind of messy. I watched their tutorial that said to create a “cast” for your forehead with these things. This “cast” is uncomfortable and itchy and I’ve woken up at 4am a few times literally itching to take this cast off. I also personally hate tearing these little things along the perforated lines because they do rip apart and they do fly all over the place and it just annoys me. Results: After a week of wearing these overnight my forehead feels dryer. I let my normal moisturizer to absorb before applying these and I used oil to moisturize after removing them. I appreciate that these didn’t cause any breakouts as my skin is sensitive and acne prone. Nonetheless, my fine lines and wrinkles reappear within a few hours of removing the patches in the morning. I think that these are not so much for ironing out the fine lines/wrinkles but for reminding yourself to stop moving your forehead. I think regular tape (or surgical tape) can do the same thing for a fraction of the price and an easier application process. Comparing to Botox: I used 6 patches a day. So 144 patches would last me 24 days (I don’t particularly believe that wearing these 3 times a week would do anything…I think these should be worn daily for consistent results). Botox for 5 months in the 11s would cost a 25 year old about $100 (ask to be charged per unit of Botox not per area…it’s usually cheaper for younger folks than laying “per area”). 5 month supply of these would add up to be $125. So for a similar price you can skip the application time and the discomfort and just get Botox with similar results. I COULD STILL MOVE MY FOREHEAD WITH THE FROWNIE “CAST”. You physically cannot move most of your forehead with a Botox injection in the 11s region. Once the Botox starts to wear off, your muscles need to “remember” how to move which is the effect that these patches are trying to emulate. Disclaimer: Always talk to your medical professional about whether or not Botox is right for you. I experienced headaches and discomfort with Botox, which is why I tried these patches in the first place. There are other neurotoxins on the market that have different results and different side effects. I think this summer I will try Dysport or Jeuveau instead, but these patches are a waste of money and time in my opinion unless they work differently for older people.

It is the best product to ease fine lines. Just wet it with ur fingers lightly and stretch ur skin a Bit and paste it. Easy to use as well

These patches really are solid. don't peel off and really do not move once stuck on. ive noticed a slight difference in a short time of using them so if you are looking at using them for wrinkles then I would say definitely give these a go! however, I used these initially to see if they would reduce my tension in my forehead as I have chronic migraines and they def help with that too! only thing I dont like is the smell they have once they are wet. it can be a little overwhelming at first but you get use to it.

I recently tried Frownies Facial Patches for Forehead, and I am pleasantly surprised by the results! These patches are easy to apply, and they stay in place throughout the night. The shape and adhesive quality are perfect for smoothing out forehead lines and wrinkles. After using them for several nights, I noticed a significant improvement in the appearance of my fine lines — they seem to have softened, and my skin looks smoother. What I appreciate most is that the patches are gentle on my skin, leaving no irritation or redness, even after wearing them for hours. The natural ingredients are a huge bonus for me, as I prefer products without harsh chemicals. I also like that the patches are reusable, which makes them more cost-effective in the long run. One minor issue is that they require a bit of patience to apply properly, but once they’re on, they work wonders. I’ve also found that using them consistently gives the best results. Overall, I am really happy with this product and plan to continue using it. If you’re looking for a non-invasive way to reduce forehead lines, I highly recommend giving Frownies Facial Patches a try!

ce patch colle bien et reste en place toute la nuit et effectivement la ride du lion est très atténuée, mais cela ne dure pas si on ne recommence pas le lendemain. Mais je trouve cela génial quand on veut paraitre moins fatiguée, cela marche bien. Je ne mets pas le patch entier (je le découpe à ma guise) car sinon le lendemain j'ai un triangle rouge entre les deux yeux et c'est pas le but recherché. En plus si on le découpe cela dure plus longtemps et revient moins cher.

I bought these because I read an article about how effective they are. I have 11s on my forehead though not extremely pronounced and I cannot believe how well Frownies work. It completely erased my lines the following morning after wearing them at night. The results are probably temporary but given the ease of use and the price I will use them every day for the rest of my life if it means no wrinkles and no Botox. I also tried to use the same ones of my laugh lines since I sleep on my side but I haven't noticed as good of a result in the AM. I have ordered the version of Frownies specific to mouth lines so I will try those to see if they work better.
