My forehead wrinkles are finally gone – a $9 purchase from Amazon worked better than Botox
BOTOX is considered the ultimate wrinkle cure, but one woman claims she got better results thanks to her dermatologist’s recommendation.
She had experimented with different skin care products and cosmetic injections before choosing the winner on Amazon.
She revealed how she ‘finally’ defied the signs of aging in a post on Reddit’s Skincare Addiction forum.
Her forehead wrinkles have been making her “very sad” since she turned 24.
“I used sunscreen, retinol, I exfoliated regularly, drank a lot of water all the time and did everything, but still the symptoms came,” she said, writing under the name Oh, oh, oh.
The Redditor shared that she tried Botox after other people on the forum recommended it.
It reduced the visibility of the lines on her forehead somewhat, but after three months they came back and were ‘worse’ than before.
“I also hated that Botox changed my face,” she said.
“I didn’t look as happy as I normally look. If that makes any sense.
“So I tried something else that the dermatologist recommended, which was ‘Frownies.’ They’re available on Amazon and they come in packs of 100.”

She said, “These little guys are amazing” and work best if you apply them before you go to bed.
“If you apply them correctly, the lines will diminish and disappear almost immediately, but they will come back a little bit when you remove them,” she said.
“But after 2 weeks they are gone.
“I went on holiday and didn’t take them with me, a whole week without them and no queues!
“I absolutely love this product and highly recommend it to everyone!”
PERFECT PATCHES
Other Redditors gave the post a positive review, with several commenters saying that they were also able to reduce their fine lines with Frownies.
Over 2,000 Amazon customers have purchased Frownies Cotton Soft Forehead Serum Patch for $9 in the past month.
The patches are enriched with a serum containing ingredients such as olive oil, grape seed oil, vitamin E and collagen.
The manufacturer recommends leaving the patches on the facial wrinkles for a maximum of 30 minutes to improve skin elasticity and tone.
Satisfied buyers have given the patches a 3.6-star rating out of 5.
One customer said it “hydrated” their skin without causing greasiness, while another said it improved the smoothness of their face before applying bridal makeup.
“This is genius, I don’t know how it works but it does,” said a third.
“I even slept with it on my forehead for a night, but even for a short time it helps to fade my wrinkles!
“Highly recommended.
“Not at all irritating with the adhesive (I have sensitive skin) and sticks very well without being painful to remove.”
