I love them!
I’m on my fourth box and they work! I have 11 lines (home health nurse so I have a lot of WTF facial expressions). There is a learning curve for YOUR forehead. I only use them for this.How I place them is I do two pieces together (not torn apart) for between my brows. Then I take two triangles and place one each above each of my brows (flat edge above the brow so it looks like a triangle) with the end touching the the big piece I placed in the center. Then I take two more triangles and place those like an upside down triangle and fill the spaces in between the triangles and the center piece. Then the last two triangles I placed on each edge with the flat end facing towards the center of my face.The most important part is getting my hands moist with water and gently pushing them on my forehead and rewetting them all. This is how the “cast” is formed. And I allow that to air dry. Don’t make a RBF or raise your brows allow it dry!!!! I’ll continue to press at times till it’s dry too. This takes less than 5 minutes and I’m being dramatic with the time here.Boom— it hardens up and I’m good to go for the night.Next morning when my shower is warming up I wet my hand and rub underneath the patches and they smooth right on off. Or if I do a work out that morning I’ll sweat them off lol.I definitely can tell a difference when I don’t apply them.I’d rather do this then Botox because I still want to make expressions lol.

Review after 9 months
I've been testing these for 9 months now and think they're definitely worth it.It's like paper mache (does smell bad, I'll admit. I wet the adhesive with a q-tip to avoid getting it on my hands) but it holds up most nights keeping my brows still.I got them because I've always squinted against the light a lot when I first wake up or when driving or thinking and noticed the lines between my eyebrows were taking longer to go away once I relaxed, but I didn't have full wrinkles yet so my review is just for the wrinkle prevention side.After the first night trying them I noticed my eyebrows weren't as quick to furrow for the first couple hours after waking up, but then it was back to normal movement. After a week or two of use I noticed I wasn't scrunching my eyebrows enough to crease when it was bright in the car later in the day anymore. It kind of just makes your muscles less readily reactive over time. Even looking in the mirror and trying to move my brows together takes slightly more of a conscious effort at this point. It only wears off for me after around 3 days now, so I only have to wear one once every couple nights for maintenance. If your someone who keeps catching yourself furrowing your brow subconsciously and can't help it, this really reduced the movement for me.

Very disappointed, results don't last, too expensive
I am in my late 30s have tried Frownies off and on for years. I have a very expressive face with deep 11 lines and forehead wrinkles. Wearing these overnight I see a noticeable improvement in my 11 lines in the morning, but the results never last longer than an hour. Because applying these easily doubles the length of my usual nighttime routine and having them on is a complete intimacy killer (and they also scare my young child), I've never wore them every night, usually doing a few nights here and there. Most recently I committed to using a single box start to finish, wearing them every night in a row until the box was done. Now I can officially say I'm not impressed.I had no issues with application, fragrance, or skin irritation, although I'd occasionally get a breakout or two in areas I never get them when I used Frownies, and sometimes the edges of the patches would leave creases in my skin where I didn't have wrinkles before (especially the corners, which tend to curl). My forehead did look noticeably better in the morning after wearing them 10+ hours overnight but those results don't last throughout the day, not even close (although using them regularly did make my forehead extra shiny). I suspect all the before and after photos are from people taking a picture before putting them on and then being photographed immediately after removing them. Maybe if you start using these in your early 20s, have great, well hydrated skin with few wrinkles to begin with, and use these religiously I could absolutely see them preventing the development of wrinkles as you sleep, but I think the idea of them "splinting your muscles and training you not to activate your forehead muscles" is absolute garbage. These do not give lasting results if you actually have wrinkles. I also didn't notice any difference from using them once or using them consistently.Additionally, 144 patches refers to the small triangle shape, not the square shape. I use 8 triangles (three larger squares and two smaller triangles) to cover my wrinkles, if I wanted to cover my entire forehead I'd have to use 10. I have a pretty average sized forehead (certainly not large), so anyone using just 4-6 patches (as Frownies suggests is enough for most users) either has a tiny forehead or is only covering a small area of their forehead. At 8 patches per night, a single box lasts just 18 days. I'd need to use 1 2/3 boxes a month to wear them for 30 days (as suggested to see results), so at $25/box that's $41.67/month. Cheaper than Botox I guess, but certainly not cheap. And not worth the price of no results.Previously, I always gave Frownies the benefit of the doubt, since I never wore them consistently for more than a week, so I thought maybe I'd have better luck if I used them every night. Now that I've used a whole box start to finish and worked out the cost of everyday use, I can firmly say I would not recommend them and will not be purchasing them again. They may work for a small subset of the population, but they are certainly not as good as the advertising claims.
