Understand the details
What are Frownies Facial Patches for the forehead and between eyes wrinkles?
Frownies Facial Patches are non-invasive wrinkle reducing patches worn while you sleep or for a minimum of three hours. Frownies Facial Patches act to form a cast, holding the facial muscles flat, preventing expressions that cause wrinkles. Frownies Facial Patches also release tension in the muscles which helps to smooth existing lines.
Frownies Facial Patches have been safely used by women for over 130 years. Additionally, product safety testing has been conducted under the control of dermatologists, to ensure that Frownies are non irritant, and hypoallergenic.
Frownies Facial Patches are HRIPT tested: tested by a dermatologist, to be hypoallergenic, non-irritating and suitable for sensitive skin.
We have tested a variety of materials for our patches and paper is the safest and healthiest for the skin. Because silicone and latex are common allergens, Frownies patches and products are Latex and silicone free.
If you have concerns about the adhesive reacting with your skin or your skincare, test the product or the products together on your forearm or wrist.
The adhesive sticks to the skin and does not absorb into the skin just like a Band-Aid or skin glue. The adhesive is water activated so it will release without any irritation to the skin when properly wet to remove.
Ingredients from the Earth
You ask and we answer FAQ'S
Q: Are the Frownies Original Facial Patches paper?
A: Yes. Paper allows the skin to breath; it does not suffocate skin cells as some plastics will.
Q: Do I have to use Frownies Facial Patches every night?
A: We recommend using Frownies Facial Patches every night for 30 nights to begin seeing longer lasting results. After you have achieved the results you're looking for you can wear your Frownies less often. We recommend a minimum of three to four days a week in order to maintain proper facial posture. Fine lines may be smoothed in less than 30 nights and your application can be adjusted to suit your needs.
Q: Do Frownies Facial Patches really work?
A: We have been in the facial patches business since 1889 - over 130 years with guaranteed results. The Original Facial Patches have been mimicked by other brands but never duplicated in quality or effectiveness.
Q: Sometimes the Frownies leaves an imprint on my skin around the edges, what am I doing wrong?
A: We recommend covering the full forehead from eyebrows to hairline, and hairline to hairline side to side, overlapping the patches to minimize imprints around each patch. When you apply the patches be careful not to pull or over stretch the skin. After removing your patches apply Frownies Moisturizer or Skin Serum and the imprint will quickly fade.
Q: The Frownies are a little too large is it okay to cut it to a smaller size?
A: Yes. Trim the edges down to a size that is comfortable for you.
Q: Does the shiny backing peel off?
A: No. The shiny backing is a natural, dry, adhesive that is water activated. Simply moisten the shiny side with Frownies Rose Water Hydrator Spray.
Q: I am having trouble making the patch stick what am I doing wrong?
A: Make sure you are applying the patch to freshly washed skin and all your skin care is fully absorbed. Frownies won't stick well on top of a thick, heavy night cream or face oil. The patch could also be a little too wet or not wet enough. 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 help the adhesive get tacky before you place it on the skin.
Q: Can I use my night creams with Frownies?
A: Frownies Moisturizer is a perfect compliment to the patches because it absorbs quickly. If trying the patches with other creams or moisturizers make sure you allow at least 15 minutes absorption time before applying the patch.
Q: Can I use Frownies Facial Patches with "Retinol," "Tretinoin," and/or "Retin A" creams?
A: Frownies Facial Patches may be used with these products with caution. Retinol and Retin A creams have the potential to cause skin sensitivity and irritation. Do not use Frownies Facial Patches if your skin is already irritated or peeling. Consult your medical dermatologist for this question. Because less of the product will evaporate off the skin there is a possibility that the potency may be stronger when wearing Frownies.
Q: Will the ingredients in Frownies Facial Patches react with my other products?
A: Frownies Facial Patches do not contain "active" ingredients. However, if you suspect an issue we suggest testing the patch with the products in question on you forearm.
Q: What are the active ingredients in Frownies Facial Patches?
A: There are no active ingredients. The results are due to a muscular response to the Facial Patches. Working like a splint or a cast, Frownies holds the muscle in place, retraining the muscles to relax into their original smooth position.
Q: Do Frownies Facial Patches have to be used with the Rose Water Hydrator and Frownies Moisturizer for the Face and Neck in order to get results?
A: The overall results will be better when used with the recommended products; however you will still get great results using the Frownies Facial Patches by themselves.
Q: Can the Frownies Facial Patches be used on the neck?
A: Frownies Facial Patches are not designed for the neck area. We recommend using our Frownies Skin Serum with Vitamin E and Ceramides on the neck as well as our Frownies CHIN-UP Polypeptide Neck Mask or Frownies Moisturizer for Face and Neck Gel Cream.
Q: Can Frownies Facial Patches be used under my eyes?
A: NO! Frownies Facial Patches are not designed for the under eye area. We recommend using our Frownies Under Eye Gels, Frownies Apple Stem Cell Serum, and Frownies Eye Cream for the area under the eyes since it is thinner and more sensitive than the skin on the rest of the face.
Q: Are these products gluten free/vegan?
A: All Frownies products are vegan and made without gluten. However we have not gone through the process of being certified Gluten Free. Frownies products are made with natural plant based ingredients!
Q: What is the shelf life of the Frownies Facial Patches?
A: The Frownies Facial Patches will keep indefinitely as long as they are kept dry.
Q: Can I damage my skin from wearing Frownies Facial Patches too often?
A: Frownies Facial Patches are tested for safety and very gentle on the skin. Many customers have worn Frownies for decades without any negative effects. However, everyone's skin is different. You can tailor your use of Frownies to whatever works for your skin. It's possible that you may experience a temporary adjustment period if you have sensitive skin. Go slowly and give your skin time to get used to your new routine.
Q: What if the edges are peeling up?
A: There is no need to be concerned with the edges peeling up as long as the rest of the patch is secure on the skin. Go back and watch our application video for helpful tips and tricks!
Q: Can Frownies be used to tighten a saggy jaw line?
A: Frownies Facial Patches are not capable of tightening sagging skin or lifting sagging skin. Frownies are effective for relaxing facial tension and smoothing the facial muscles.
Q: Will you make a larger patch for the forehead so I don't have to piece them together?
A: Because the patches are made of paper a larger patch wouldn't contour to the roundness of the forehead. Using the smaller triangles to overlap and cover your forehead allows you to customize the Frownies to the size and shape of your Face. You will get better results using smaller patches rather than attempting to apply a larger strip of patches.
Our Forehead Serum Patch fits the entire forehead and is a nice compliment to the Frownies Original Facial Patches. It's great to wear after removing your Frownies in the morning.

How Frownies Work
Facial muscle contractions create dynamic lines on your face to show facial expressions. However, over time, these repeated facial movements can lead to the formation of static lines, including fine lines and wrinkles, that are seen when your face is at rest. Frownies Facial Patches work by targeting the underlying facial muscle to smooth and soften static expression lines.
Our foreheadfacial patches are made from weighted, unbleached kraft paper and water-activated, starch-based adhesive. Our wrinkle patches come in a long strip of 144 patches that are perforated for easy tearing to fit your unique facial structure. Once applied, Frownies Facial Patches harden to create a splint or a cast to relax facial tension, retrain facial muscles, and lift the overlying skin to smooth and soften static lines caused by repeated facial expressions.
Simple. Natural. Effective.
Frownies Facial Patches are unique in that they contain no active skincare ingredients. Made simply with weighted, unbleached kraft paper and water-activated, starch-based adhesive, Frownies Facial Patches act as a splint or cast to retrain facial muscle movements to smooth static expression lines and lift existing wrinkles. Frownies Facial Patches are free from artificial fragrances, latex, silicone, and parabens. All Frownies Patches, including our forehead patches, are HRIPT third-party dermatologist tested and are clinically proven to be non-irritating, non-comedogenic, and safe for sensitive skin. Our skincare products are cruelty-free and never tested on animals. You will love the natural-looking results you achieve with Frownies Facial Patches. Unlike injectables, our facial patches do not prevent dynamic facial movement allowing you to continue to make natural facial expressions.
How to Apply Frownies
- Separate the facial patches along the perforations to the desired sizes. We recommend using the smallest, individual shapes to contour to your unique facial structure.
- Wet the shiny side of the facial patches with Frownies Rose Water Hydrator or warm water to activate the starch-based adhesive. Set the facial patches aside until they become tacky and begin to curl slightly, for up to 90 seconds.
- Gently massage the intended area of the skin for approximately 10 seconds to increase circulation and blood flow.
- With one hand, separate any creases in the skin while applying the facial patches with the other hand. For best results, overlap the facial patches and cover the entire forehead.
- Wear Frownies Facial Patches overnight, or for at least three hours, to relax facial tension and retrain facial muscles.
- To remove, soak the patches with a wet washcloth or by splashing your face with plenty of warm water. Gently slide your fingers underneath the patches to remove. Alternatively, you can remove them during your morning shower or even sweat them off during your workout!
Be Consistent. Love Your Results.
Like a new exercise routine, the best results come with time. While you may notice results after just one use, lasting results come with consistent wear. We recommend wearing Frownies Facial Patches for 30 nights in a row as you begin your Frownies journey. Of course, individual results will vary, so you may need to wear the facial patches for longer than 30 nights to start retraining your facial muscle movement.
Join the Frownies Family!
Once you achieve the results you’re looking for, you may decrease the frequency that you wear our facial patches. However, as you make facial expressions throughout the day, you may notice fine lines returning – This is the time to apply Frownies again to maintain your results.

Enhance Your Results with Frownies Skincare
For added effectiveness, our facial patches are best when applied with Frownies Rose Water Hydrator Spray. The organic rose hydrosol contains hyaluronic acid to provide an intense, quick boost of hydration and additional skin-smoothing benefits for all skin types including sensitive, oily, and dry skin. Not only does the Rose Water Hydrator activate the adhesive on the facial patches, but it also preserves our Under Eye Gels and Apple Serum Neck Mask by keeping them hydrated for multiple uses. Our customers agree that Frownies Rose Water Hydrator is a game-changer to get the best results with our wrinkle patches.
The Perfect Addition to Your Skincare Routine!
Frownies Facial Patches do not contain any active ingredients; therefore, you can incorporate our facial patches as the final step in your current skincare routine. Our forehead patches can be applied over most serums and moisturizers, just be sure to allow enough time for other skincare products to fully absorb before applying the facial patches. The entire line of Frownies plant-based skincare products was formulated to work seamlessly with our wrinkle patches. So, go all in on your Frownies skincare journey with our Complete Skincare Set.
