What the gurus are saying

These patches temporarily plump fine lines by trapping water and physically flattening the skin, but they don't erase wrinkles and results fade once you stop wearing them. Most gurus emphasize realistic expectations: they work best with nightly use for weeks if wrinkles are deep, or a few times weekly for lighter lines, though they won't match Botox results. The main practical drawback is that they stick poorly over layered products, and daily adhesive use raises the risk of contact allergies over time.

"These can temporarily smooth the appearance of lines by hydrating the area and physically flattening the skin, which kind of boosts the hydration in fine lines, making them temporarily look plumper and less obvious. But they're not wrinkle erasing in any way."
~Yay
"The thing I don't like about them is that it really limits what I can use underneath them because they have to stick on your face in a certain area. They make ones for the eyes, mouth area, forehead, things like that. And then when you're sleeping it prevents them from moving so when you wake up in the morning you don't notice them as much."

"So I've been trying these lately and you they have different sizes different patterns and things like that so you can use them in different areas of your face. They have some for your forehead, they have some around your eyes, they have some for your mouth area. People swear by these and the only thing I can't get past is the fact that you can't really layer on a ton of products because they won't stick if you have tons of products on."

"It's not the best thing in the world but it works. I used to use the seal patches, I still do, they're great, those are like reusable eco-friendly silicone ones. These you have to dispose of, but Frownies get the cast pass. They're kind of weird, they're kind of funky, they're kind of fun too, and especially if you work from home or if you're like practicing your scripts."

Is tape a replacement for Botox? TikTok trend has people erasing wrinkles in 2 weeks - is it a lie?
"If we're preventing our skin from emoting it's not going to have a chance to wrinkle and that is why a lot of people have actually seen results with taping the face with things like Frownies."
~Mixed
"When you're putting an adhesive on the skin every day it does overtime increase your risk for a contact allergy to the adhesive. [...] When you're buying them every day the price does add up over time and I'm not sure how much money you're saving over just doing Botox in that area. Some people don't like needles and that's okay, so you can use Frownies if you want, but it's not my choice for reducing wrinkles on my forehead."
~Nay
"I kind of view as gimmicks, silicone patches and face lift tape. I had weird allergic reactions to them, obviously that's a me issue, that's not a them issue, but I tried the Frownies and it was not for me."
~Mixed
"Some of these patches like Frownies [...] can have a temporary wrinkle smoothing effect by trapping water in the skin and reducing trans epidermal water loss, but [...] it's not going to be preventative, that's for sure."
~Yay
"They're extraordinarily affordable. They come in a box with a whole bunch of patches that are perforated, you tear them apart into triangle sizes and you use them across the forehead. I use just a little thermal water spray on the side that goes skin down, let it warm up for a second, rub it in and then I patch my forehead."

"It's not scary like Botox, it literally has no side effects. These before and after pictures from their website are literally like Botox level results. I am seeing absolute disappearance or extreme softening of these wrinkles so if I get results like that I am going to be thrilled. I got this for right around twenty dollars and this has 144 patches in this box so that's a lot."

"I really love it. I think it is so smart, it's such a simple concept, such a simple hack to help relax the forehead. [...] I think that this is very easy to use and it really is a great budget pick to start to soften those resting wrinkles. But this is [...] all about realistic expectations. [...] This is not Botox. This is not going to completely freeze those muscles and work as quickly as Botox."

"You should wear these nightly for up to 30 days if you have severe wrinkles because it might take that long to really lift them out significantly enough, or you can wear them just a few times a week for less severe wrinkles. Frownies will seriously work, but they do take time and consistency to get those results. And just like Botox, this is temporary as your wrinkles will return the more you make these expressions between wearing your Frownies."
