Forehead and Between the Eyes Facial Patches - Hypoallergenic Patches to Smooth & Soften Forehead Horizontal & Eleven Lines - For Overnight Use, 144 count

I've been testing these for 9 months now and think they're definitely worth it.It's like paper mache (does smell bad, I'll admit. I wet the adhesive with a q-tip to avoid getting it on my hands) but it holds up most nights keeping my brows still.I got them because I've always squinted against the light a lot when I first wake up or when driving or thinking and noticed the lines between my eyebrows were taking longer to go away once I relaxed, but I didn't have full wrinkles yet so my review is just for the wrinkle prevention side.After the first night trying them I noticed my eyebrows weren't as quick to furrow for the first couple hours after waking up, but then it was back to normal movement. After a week or two of use I noticed I wasn't scrunching my eyebrows enough to crease when it was bright in the car later in the day anymore. It kind of just makes your muscles less readily reactive over time. Even looking in the mirror and trying to move my brows together takes slightly more of a conscious effort at this point. It only wears off for me after around 3 days now, so I only have to wear one once every couple nights for maintenance. If your someone who keeps catching yourself furrowing your brow subconsciously and can't help it, this really reduced the movement for me.

THESE WORK!! I have it be more vigilant with everyday use. The “11” lines have been getting less noticeable. There is a learning curve on how long to wait after getting them wet to proper placement. I press & hold them down for less than a minute to make sure they stay where I placed them. The smell of the adhesive is not pleasant. But, it doesn’t last long. No smell once it dried. I have very sensitive skin & have no problem with any irritation at all. Highly recommend.

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.

Thoughts/updates after using for 3 months:The main reason I bought these was to prevent wrinkles while I’m sleeping. I’m 38 and haven’t used any patches or tape on my face before (wish I had started sooner!). I started to notice the 11’s between my brows were a lot worse after sleeping (side sleeper) and I needed to find a solution. It seems unfair to be aging more just from sleeping and I can’t sleep on my back for the life of me. I wanted to try some kind of tape or patches and needed something non toxic that wouldn’t irritate my sensitive skin so I chose these.They definitely do work for preventing wrinkles while sleeping! My forehead and between my brows looks really smooth when I remove them in the morning. I still haven’t noticed a huge difference in my forehead lines overall but the 11’s are less noticeable and are definitely not getting worse while I’m sleeping.Pros/cons/notes:-I don’t think it helps to train to not to use the forehead muscles, unless I were to wear them during the day when I’m actually making those expressions, which is impossible because they look ridiculous. I wish there was a tape that matches your skin tone but without toxic adhesives. I also really wish I could find something for my chest for sleeping. Using these would be expensive and I’m not sure if they would be as effective on the chest.-The adhesive doesn’t irritate my sensitive skin which is awesome. I’ve had a history of sensitive skin and always a little nervous to try new products.-It doesn’t really stop you from using those muscles like I’ve seen them claim. I can still make the same expressions while they’re on, it’s just not creating the wrinkles and creases because your skin is held in place.-They smell kind of funky. I don’t know what it is but it smells kind of sour and weird, hard to describe. It doesn’t smell like chemicals or perfume or anything, just strange. *after several orders I noticed most of them don’t smell weird, they just smell like paper/cardboard but some batches have a sour smell.-They are annoying to apply and takes some time and feels tedious. They stick well and I’ve never had issues with them not staying on but I make sure I wait after applying face oil for it to absorb and then I wipe any excess before applying. I lightly spray them with water and then rub it in with my finger until it becomes tacky and then apply it to my skin. You can also spray it a little heavier and wait for it to curl up as the instructions state, but they stick better when I use a light amount of water and rub it with my finger.-I noticed that if I apply them too low (right above my eyebrows) I inadvertently kept using my forehead muscles to lift them up away from my eyes when I was lying in bed reading or on my phone. I noticed tension and fatigue in my forehead so I apply them a little higher and it resolved that. Hard to describe, might just be me.-It’s much easier to peel them off slowly rather than using water to remove. If you use water it gets messy and the adhesive gets all over your skin. It was a little painful at first but not anymore.-One pack of these last about a month. I wish they lasted longer. I have a somewhat smaller forehead and it takes 6 triangles to cover the majority of my forehead and between brows. I was using 8 to cover every inch but it doesn’t seem totally necessary so I try to use less. I also try to reuse them for a second night as someone else mentioned. It takes longer for them to stick properly but once it does it stays on all night.I will keep buying them but I would like to find some kind of non toxic tape. This is one of those things that once you start using you can’t go without it. I accidentally missed only one night and I was so upset when I woke up and saw the 11’s lol
