Works well but am I the only one that thinks they smell weird? I opened the package and I'm not sure why I always feel like I need to smell friggin everything but I do lol. They kind of smell a bit like, you know how when we were kids they told us to lick our arm and let it dry, then smell it to see it you breath is off?! They smell like spit! 😂🤣😅 Or maybe like honey thats a bit off? I don't know exactly but ick! I tried them anyway and they actually do exactly what is advertised so obviously I'm going to keep wearing them but oh my gosh they smell weird. I wish I could find an actual ingredient list but all I could find is "unbleached natural kraft paper with water-activated adhesive". Read more
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! Read more
I was a skeptic for sure when I tried these and I gave them about a week, and I saw what I felt was a minor improvement in combination with retinol moisturizer daily. I thought that it probably had more to do with the retinol that I was using than anything else, so I decided to skip a night of using them and thought maybe I could just get away with doing them a couple times a week or every other day. I quickly saw the difference between One single night of not using these magical stickers. Attached to this review is a photograph of the progress of using every single night before bed. It's the one that looks nice. This is how my forehead has been looking when I wake up and it stays looking like this throughout the entire day until I go to bed.. then you will see the photo that looks not so nice. That is the photo of the one morning I woke up after deciding not to use the frownies the night before.. dear God has there ever been such a dramatic before and after... I was quickly reminded of why I started using these in the first place and looked back at my progress pics. Wow. Not a subtle difference. These literally turned back the hands of time. Now, when I'm feeling a little lazy at night, I remember what I'm going to wake up to if I don't use them. So yes, definitely get these and don't worry, you will have no problem adopting them into your nightly routine Once you see how big of a difference they make. If I have a few critiques, one of them is the smell. I think the reason why they recommend you use rosewater is to try to cover up the stink. It kind of smells like wet dog, or stinky shoes. Not loving that smell at all. The other thing that I don't really love is it's kind of a science to get these to stick just right and not lift but yeah, even if for whatever reason they start popping up on me as I'm going to bed and moving my face a bit, I still wake up with a super smooth forehead anyway. They say you have to soak these off and I do not have to soak these off at all. I just slide my finger underneath very gently and they come right off in the morning. Soaking them off, actually makes them adhere to your head more i feel like. Actually, I recommend if you're having trouble sticking them to your head to dampen the outside of them and hold them until they stick. it kind of gives it a papier-mâché effect. Focus on training your muscles not to move in the ways that create the wrinkles in the first place and these things will be a miracle. I do wish they sold them in larger quantity pack because I feel like I'm gonna have to order these every three weeks. I use 3 whole squares and 3 triangles (1/2 squares) every night to cover my forehead. so that's 4 1/2 squares a night out of 100 a pack. The last photo is how I arrange them on my forehead. I did try to skimp out and use less by using them on only on my 11 lines but it didn't work well and left indentations where the borders of the patches were. Definitely need to cover the whole forehead for results. Update June 2025: These are still a miracle and yes, they work! I dont squint nearly as much anymore or raise my brow. They definitely helped me train my muscles as they suggested. This helps keep my results throughout the day. Dont expect them to do it for you though, you WILL have to be conscious about it until you make it a habit. But these remind you quick as its crispy and pulls and lifts if you make any wrinkle forming gestures. Leave them on as long as you can and practice laughing and smiling and being mad without moving your brow. You have to use good skincare routines in combination with them. I use Purity One step 2x a day and their retinol ultimate miracle worker cream and the hyaluronic acid serum. I also use 30 spf sunscreen moisturizer every morning on top. I am about to be 39 for context. My skin looks amazing as long as I use these products. I am acne prone and sensitive skin. Frownies do not irritate or break me out. They might be working on the smell too! I just got a box that seems a little different. The squares seem crispier and smell more minty than stinky. That's great! Hopefully they stick with improving the smell. I perfected my application and found that moistening them with a mist bottle helps to wet them and not too much, then swirl around the glue with your finger and let dry about 30 seconds before applying. It should feel almost dry to get the best stick. I accidentally fell asleep the other night and neglected my skin care and frownies, and woke up to some lines. Not as drastic as my previous before photo however so I feel like I am getting better and better results as we go. I have these on subscribe and save every three weeks and its perfect timing. Everyone keeps asking me what I am doing and these are a big part of it! Go for it! Read more
