"I noticed my forehead wrinkles becoming more defined as I made facial expressions. After a month of using Frownies, my wrinkles are almost non-existent when I raise my brows. In a relaxed state, my forehead is smooth and taut like a fresh face with Botox."
- Kiah | Curvy Style Creator @ajourneyideserve

These Before-and-Afters Speak for Themselves
I just wanted to say I was a skeptic (because that's just how I am with social media these days), but HOLY COW do these work!! I just did my first before and after and I'm mind blown!
I'm getting close to the 3 month mark and I am blown away by the change! I'm so happy with my results. I also use the Rose Water, the Skin Serum, and you the moisturizer. I just love all your products.
I'm in my 50s, and I am two years into my journey. This non-invasive solution has been the best for my forehead wrinkles!
How to apply
Frownies Facial Patches are the original non-invasive beauty-sleep ritual designed to help visibly smooth the look of expression lines with consistent use. Made with unbleached paper and a water-activated, starch-based adhesive, Frownies contain no active ingredients—just a simple, time-tested product that works while you rest.
For over 135 years, Frownies has championed women through every stage of life with honest, transparent skincare. What began as one woman’s invention is now a fifth-generation family brand that continues to celebrate natural beauty, consistency, and confidence at every age.
From vintage starlets to TikTok creators, Frownies still steals the spotlight. Five generations later, this 135-year-old cult favorite proves that beauty sleep will always be trending.
At 35-40 years old I started to get forehead wrinkles, but I never wanted Botox, so when I discovered Frownies I was so intrigued. I love that it's stood the test of time, so I decided to use it. Immediately, I noticed results! After many uses, my forehead wrinkles have become so dim, you can't even see them!! I'm so thankful and will never go without Frownies again! trust me when I say, they work!!!

In a few days I’ll be using Frownies for 30 days. They have reduced my forehead creases and I look years younger. I’m 37 and got carded for the first time in years. That was really nice. I feel more confident in my skin. I didn’t want to use Botox so this is a wonder alternative. I can’t believe it works!

Omg!! Love love love my Frownies! I started using Botox in my 20s but in my 30s after a kid and life stresses my elevens were constantly contracted. Then I found you all. I'm happy with my results and that's all that matters! Anyone who might be on the fence, just give them a try. You can even use them with Botox to help train your muscles to relax. So happy to have found you!

I have been using Frownies for a couple of years now. As a Licensed Esthetician (whom would never put Botox in my face) with over 20 years of experience, I can confidently tell you that this product works! I am 44 years old, and when I start to see my "11's" poking through , I wear my Frownies a couple of days in a row and they disappear! Try them, you will not be disappointed!

Yes. Paper lets the skin breath; it does not suffocate skin cells as plastic on the skin does
We recommend using Frownies Facial Patches every night for 30 nights to receive lasting results. After you have trained your facial muscles, you should wear the Facial Patch a minimum of three to four days a week in order to maintain proper facial posture. Fine lines can be smoothed in less than 30 nights and often only need 3-4 nights every week to maintain wrinkle free skin.
We have been in the facial patches business since 1889 - over 100 years with guaranteed results. The Original Facial Patches are mimicked but never duplicated in quality or effectiveness.
Cover a larger area using additional patches and be sure to overlap each patch. When you smooth out and open a wrinkle be careful not to over stretch the skin, if this happens use Moisturizer Face and Necka nd it will quickly fade.
Yes. Trim the edges down to a size that is comfortable for you.
No. The shiny backing is a natural, dry, adhesive that is water activated. Simply moisten the shiny side with Frownies Rose Water Hydrator Spray.
Make sure you are applying the patch to freshly washed skin without any heavy night creams. The patch could also be a little too wet or not wet enough. Do not hold the patch under running water. If using the Rose Water Hydrator Spray, one or two pumps is sufficient. Spreading the liquid around with your finger is also helpful. Letting the wet patch sit for 15 seconds before applying it will let the adhesive get sticky before you place it on the skin.
Many creams will interfere with the patches adhering to the skin. If trying the patches with your cream make sure you allow at least 15 minutes absorption time before applying the patch
Frownies Facial Patches can be used with these products with caution. Retinol and Retinol A creams have been seen to cause peeling and irritation to the skin. Do not use Frownies Facial Patches if your skin is already irritated or peeling. Consult your medical dermatologist for this question.
There are no active ingredients. The results are due to a muscular response to the Facial Patches. Working like a splint on the skin, the patch holds the muscle in place, retraining the muscles to lie in a smooth flat position again.
Make Frownies the last step in your skincare routine for visibly smoother-looking skin. Simple steps, consistent use, and a community that cheers you on.
Tear Frownies along the perforations. Moisten the shiny side with Rose Water Hydrator or Calming Toner and wait for the adhesive to activate. Apply across the full forehead, overlapping for a firm hold. Wear overnight or at least 3 hours for best results.
Your best results come from routine. Use nightly for stubborn lines, then as needed to maintain results.
The results are worth the wait!
