What the gurus are saying

Gurus consistently praise Frownies as an affordable, fun alternative to injectables that genuinely works to reduce wrinkles by preventing muscle contraction. The main limitation is that they won't adhere properly over heavy product layers, so application timing matters. At the $20-25 price point, reviewers view them as a low-risk experiment worth trying, especially for at-home use.

"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, but 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."

"For $25, and then it goes on sale for Prime for $20, if you want to tape your face at night you might as well. It's not the best thing in the world but it works. They're kind of weird, they're kind of funky, they're kind of fun too, and especially if you work from home. Frownies get the cast pass."

"The patches that I use for this are called Frownies Facial Patches. These are extraordinarily affordable remedy for fixing your forehead lines that comes in a box with a whole bunch of patches in here. They're perforated, you kind of 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. These are basically going to lift your wrinkles off the skin and create almost harden into a little cast on the skin that is going to prevent those muscles from firing again, what caused your wrinkles in the first place muscle contraction. So these little guys are blocking our muscular contraction."
