Wrinkles are one of the most dreaded signs of aging, and even the most intensive skincare routines can’t fully stop the natural appearance of fine lines across your complexion as you grow older. Botox is one of the most common solutions to wrinkles that comes to mind, but an expensive procedure isn’t always in the cards (or the budget) for everyone. Luckily, that’s where Frownies come in. This best-selling patch is perfect for eliminating wrinkles from the comfort of your own home–no Botox needed!
Frownies Forehead & Between Eyes ($29.64)
Frownies are an Amazon favorite, and for good reason. For only $20, the Frownies Facial Patches comes with 144 patches and can be applied to deep wrinkles on the forehead and between the eyes. You can leave each patch on from 3 hours to overnight, and it claims to target the root cause of wrinkles, eliminating them at the source.
The patches are designed to act as a cast on your wrinkles, smoothing out the muscles on your face and holding them in place to “release tension and lift deep expression lines.” While Botox works to ensure that the muscles don’t contract, causing wrinkles to soften and release, Frownies instead function from the surface to eliminate the same tension.
Amazon shoppers have gone crazy for the patches, with one customer writing, “These work so well it's kind of creepy. I am 30 and had pretty deep frown lines- the 11 between my eyes, but not a lot of other wrinkles. I started wearing these overnight between my eyes and poof they are gone in the morning. I guess I was frowning in my sleep without knowing it? Whatever the reason, it looks like I got Botox. I am impressed- they have earned a lifetime customer.”
Another customer gushed, “I used to use these as a preventative, then somehow stopped a few years ago. Well I started getting the 11 marks, frown lines between the eyebrows. The first morning after wearing one to bed I could tell they helped! I have just finished my first week using them and I love them. I wish I’d never stopped but feel confident that the lines are improving and may even disappear in another month or so!” If you’re still not sold, check out the before and after pictures on Amazon--your wallet will thank you for cancelling that Botox appointment!
