What are Frownies Facial Patches?

The Original Forehead Wrinkle Patches are designed to soften and smooth fine lines, wrinkles and static lines from expression.

If you want to skip injectables our natural, non-invasive wrinkle patches for smoother skin may be your answer.

Frownies Facial Patches for wrinkles act as a splint or cast to hold facial muscles relaxed, allow the overlying skin to lay flat. History shows, fine lines and wrinkles caused by repeated facial expressions can be relaxed.

Invented in 1889, Frownies are the original wrinkle patch and longest-standing wrinkle-smoothing option on the market because, our customers say, they WORK!

How to apply for best results

Frownies Facial Patches should always be applied to clean, dry, skin. After washing your face and applying your skincare, give the skincare time to absorb into the skin. You will then be ready to apply your Facial Patches.

When you open your box of Frownies Facial Patches for wrinkles on the forehead and between the eyes you will find long strips of paper patches that are perforated into triangles. We recommend you tear the patches along the perforations to separate them into triangles.

Once the triangles are separated, you will notice there is a shiny side and a matte side. Spray the shiny side of the patches with Frownies Rose Water Hydrator (or use warm water if you do not have our Rose Water). Use your finger to spread the water around on the back of the patch to be sure you are wetting all of the adhesive.

Once you have sprayed the patch, set it down on your countertop to give the adhesive a moment to get tacky. Proceed to spray several more patches and set them down. You will start to notice the patches beginning to curl as the adhesive is getting tacky; this is a signal that your Frownies are ready to be applied to the face.

Gently massage the area where you will be placing your Frownies. Hold the skin smooth with your fingers (do not pull on the skin), apply one patch at a time, overlapping the patches as you go.

Once you apply the patches, continue to press on them until they adhere to the skin. It helps to hold them down for about 15-20 seconds once you have them on.

We recommend applying the first patch in between the brows and then extending out from there; covering the full forehead from the eyebrows to the hairline and from hairline to hairline side to side.

This is the most effective application technique whether you have only eleven lines, forehead lines, or both. The facial muscles are connected and in order to relax the muscles and smooth the lines you want to cover the full forehead until you achieve the results you are looking for.

Wear your Frownies Facial Patches every single night for the first 30 days to begin to build some muscle memory and retrain the muscles to relax. After the first 30 days you can reevaluate and decide if you need to continue wearing them nightly or if you are able to wear them less often (a few nights a week). It will be different for everyone depending on how expressive you are, how deep your lines were to start, skin type, and age.

When you remove the Facial Patch in the morning we recommend using a lot of warm water and gently sliding your fingers under the patches as you splash them with water. Be patient, go slowly, and be gentle with removal. If you are someone who showers in the morning you can get in the shower with them on and the warm water and steam will help dissolve the adhesive.

If you like to work out in the morning we have a lot of customers who leave their Frownies on during their workout and sweat them off!

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 skin​care, 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

Natural weighted unbleached Kraft paper, water activated starch based adhesive.

You ask and we answer FAQ'S

Q: What are Frownies Facials made of?
A: Frownies Facial Patches are made from unbleached, kraft paper and a water-activated starch-based adhesive. Paper allows the skin to breath, unlike silicones that occlude the skin.

Q: Do I have to use Frownies Facial Patches every night?
A: We recommend using Frownies Facial Patches every night for 30 days. After you have achieved the results you're looking for, you may be able to wear your Frownies less often for maintenance.

Q: How long does one box last?
A: Each box of Frownies Facial Patches contains a long strip of perforated paper that can be torn into 144 individual patches. Typically our customers wear 4-6 patches per night when creating the full forehead cast we recommend. In general, you will get approximately 25 - 35 applications or about one month of nightly wear from one box.

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 to splint the entire forehead muscle, 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 starch-based adhesive that is water activated. Simply moisten the shiny side with Frownies Rose Water Hydrator Spray or warm water.

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 that all your skincare is fully absorbed. Wet the patches with 1-2 pumps of Rose Water Hydrator Spray or warm water, then wait -- up to 90 seconds -- for the patch to begin to curl and the adhesive to become tacky.

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: We recommend consulting your physician prior to adding new products to your skincare routine. We do not recommend using Frownies Facial Patches on skin that is already irritated or peeling.

Q: Will the ingredients in Frownies Facial Patches react with my other products?
A: Frownies Facial Patches do not contain "active" ingredients. However, as with any new skincare product, we suggest performing a patch test to determine your own sensitivities.

Q: What are the active ingredients in Frownies Facial Patches?
A: There are no active ingredients. Frownies act as a splint or a cast, retraining the muscles to relax into a smooth position.

Q: Can the Frownies Facial Patches be used on the neck?
A: Frownies Facial Patches are not designed for the neck area. We recommend the Frownies Apple Serum Neck Mask or Frownies CHIN-UP Polypeptide Neck Mask to address skincare concerns on the neck.

Q: Can Frownies Facial Patches be used under my eyes?
A: 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.

Q: Are these products gluten free/vegan?
A: Most Frownies products are vegan, although we are not certified as 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 in a cool, dry place.

TESTIMONIALS

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!

This was the last step before getting Botox, which I'm terrified would leave me with a wonky eye.

Super Impressed!

I've been using Frownies patches and Rosewater since about January of this year with results. I incorporated the apple cell serum into my routine about 2 weeks ago and have been BLOWN AWAY. Here's my before/after pic. The before was taken last summer when I was becoming very self conscious of my skin texture and expression lines, The after was taken last weekend. I have not used anything else other than a gentle otc retinol and moisturizer. No Notox, no peels, no injections. The results are solely from Frownies products.

Blown away with results!

I have already been using Frownies but I am blown away with results. This is 3 weeks... I can't wait to see 60 days!!! Maybe I'll turn back time to my 20's. This is 57 years of wrinkles, little sun screen, and little skincare. We are never to old to learn. To think my dermatologist told me this summer that she could give me Botox but my lines are so deep they would come back.

How Do Frownies Work?

Facial muscle contractions create dynamic lines on your face when you create facial expressions.

Over time, these repeated facial movements can lead to the formation of static wrinkles in the skin, including fine lines and deep wrinkles.

Frownies Facial Patches work by targeting the underlying facial muscle.

Once applied, Frownies Facial Patches harden to create a splint or a cast, to help hold the facial muscles, and lift the overlying skin to smooth and soften static lines caused by repeated facial expressions.

Can Wrinkles be reversed without injections?

Frownies Facial Patches act as a splint or cast to retrain facial muscle movements to smooth static expression lines and lift existing wrinkles.

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.

How to Apply Frownies

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Gently massage the intended area of the skin for approximately 10 seconds to increase circulation and blood flow.
  4. 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.
  5. Wear Frownies Facial Patches overnight, or for at least three hours, to relax facial tension and retrain facial muscles.
  6. 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!

Not impressed

The FROWNIES for the forehead are short of amazing! In my 70s and thought my forehead looked pretty good for my age. Now it looks even better. .. in just a few weeks. I’m really pleased. The FROWNIES for the corner of mouth are not showing much improvement but I think this area will take longer… I’m not giving up!

Love these!

Been wearing these on and off since September. I am back to using them 4-5 nights a week and it’s so worth it! The lines have significantly diminished. These paired with the rose water hydrator are magic! My forehead is so soft and smooth when I wake up and take them off. My after photo is in the tank top. The lines are so much less noticeable! It’s not perfect, but I haven’t been strick about it the whole time so I am so impressed with these results!

So far so good. Been using daily for five days and can notice a difference. Excited to see the long term results

Thanks for the review, Rachel! We’re excited you’re noticing some immediate results. While they may be temporary, consistency is a huge game changer in achieving longer lasting results! Keep it up!! Feel free to message us on social media if you have any questions about the process or maintaining your results. We’d love to connect. Cheers, Frownies Customer Care

This product stinks and does not work at all its a waste of money.

Hi Chassie, thanks for the review. We're sorry to hear you didn't love the smell of Frownies facial patches. We get a wide range of feedback about it. Believe it or not -- some people don't even notice any smell! It's a funny phenomenon that we've witnessed, but what it really comes down to is personal preference! We totally get that. We hope it helps to know that Frownies doesn't use any synthetic fragrances in our products so we can stay true to our dedication to clean skincare that's gentle enough for all skin types. What you're experiencing is just the natural scent of the unbleached kraft paper and vegetable starch adhesive. The scent is usually unnoticeable once the adhesive dries, and many customers report that they get used to it after a bit of consistent use. Frownies also aren't a quick fix and will take time and consistency to see results. We'd love to chat with you about the process so you have a better understanding of what to expect. Message us on www.instagram.com/frownies if interested. All our best, Frownies Customer Care
