Frownies Facial Patches for Wrinkles on the Corner of Eyes & Mouth - Hypoallergenic Anti-Wrinkle Face Tape - Wrinkle Patch to Smooth & Soften Crow’s Feet & Smile Lines - For Overnight Use, 144 Patches

I can’t lie these things hurt to take off no matter how much warm water you use. Similar to a bandaid you have to rip off slowly(aurghhh) BUT first pull off on my smile line area and they’re practically GONE! They’re really a great natural source to getting rid of fine lines. Give it a try if you can stand a little pain. This is the best money I spent! Besides on a vacation deal!

I really wanted to like these, but I feel like I was duped by the convincing testimonies/videos social media. To be fair, I only tried them for a week, but after noticing on the last day that they had actually MADE NEW LINES on my face (from the outlines of the patch), I was OUT 😅 That is the opposite of what we're trying to do here. It is definitely a little bit of a learning curve to apply and remove these. The videos make it look so easy on social media, but in reality, there's a little bit of a trick. For one, if you apply these at the end of your skincare routine, after you've applied serums, moisturizer, etc. you'll have a harder time getting the patches to stick. I assume many people would apply these at the end of their nighttime skincare, as I was, before bed. And in the morning, the area of your skin where you applied the patches will be dry compared to the rest of your face because the patch removes/absorbs the products from your skincare. AND the patch sometimes leaves a residue.Also, I watched a couple videos online about how to apply these, and one lady said you can get a little bunch of these wet at a time while you wait for the adhesive to get tacky or whatnot. Well, that didn't quite work for me either. I feel like you really have to apply one patch at a time because the patch has a sweet spot for when it's sticky (only takes a few seconds), and if you go past that... Good luck getting it to stick. Once you do get them on your face, you gotta hold them there for several seconds, but apparently you shouldn't press *too* hard around the outlines of the patch because otherwise they will leave NEW LINES on your skin around the outlines of the patch.Once they're on your skin, if you're fidgety like I am... You'll be tapping them and touching them nonstop 😂 The removal process is kinda uncomfortable, low key painful for sure. I would get them wet and kinda wiggle them off your skin, and then once you get sick of that, rip the rest of it off like a bandaid 🥹 depending on the size of the patch and how much patch you have left on your face haha. One lady on Facebook says people just wear them to the gym and sweat them off, but... I'm not about the Hannibal Lecter lifestyle at the gym.And, like other reviews said, they DO smell bad, like old crusty glue that came off of a foot. It wasn't a huge issue for me 😅 but the deal breaker really was noticing new lines on my face the morning after, and with it only being a week, I didn't notice improvement on the original lines on my face. Maybe briefly in the morning depending on how well you applied them the night before, but the lines do come back shortly. At this point, I feel like facial exercises/ facial "yoga" is a better investment.

Not sure why all the hate. They don’t smell any worse than a postage stamp did back when you had to lick them, these are basically postage stamps. And if you remember having to lick stamps, then you’re probably using Frownies. You need to use these every night to see results. It’s a commitment. If you don’t want to do that, get Botox. I currently get Dysport and started using Frownies for two reasons 1. A friend I trust began using them with great results 2. Covid hit and I couldn’t see my injector. Frownies helped me stretch my Dysport results until I could get back in. Now I use them to stretch out my appts or when I’m trying to save money. I don’t get the eyebrow lift I get from Dysport/botox but it helps reduce my forehead wrinkles and 11’s if I do the full Wonder Woman method.I do my nightly routine, let my products sink into my skin about 10 min per the Frownies instructions. Then I wet my finger a little with water and slide it over my already torn out Frownie and wait for it to curl up before applying. After my forehead is covered, I use Trader Joe’s rose water spray over the whole thing and pat it down. You don’t need Frownies rose water spray.They peel off much easier in the morning with product underneath than going in dry. I’ve tried going in without product and peeling off the next day hurts. I’ve also tried putting on frownies (just a few, not a full crown), immediately after face product and letting the product be wet enough to act as water to activate the glue. It’s worked fine too. You just have to figure what works for you and if this is worth it to you. Most of the time, honestly, it’s not worth it to me and I’d rather just get Dysport. But when money is tight, it’s worth the nightly commitment. Every other night works too if I’m alternating a retinoid product. Do not use it the same night as a retinoid. Do one or the other or risk peeling your skin off.Also didn’t know people were reusing their peeled off mask crown thing for a second use. I might try that!!

Ehhh just ok.. wanted to try these forever..and decided to bite the bullet and order. I also ordered the forehead/ eye ones to get the best effect.. yes they smell but that's expected and not bad at all.. like adhesive on an envelope. I didn't find it difficult at all to apply..fitted the pieces I would need..wet finger and applied water to all pieces and then started placing. They did create a tight cast which I liked the feeling of and you definitely won't have any movement in them. Removal was easy..just wet and pull off.. I use face tape so I wanted another option to use to alternate. However for the price and the amount you need to create a full forehead cast it's just not worth it to me. Used a few times and now just sitting in my drawer which means not effective enough for me to want to reorder.
