Overview

Frownies are facial pads created by Margaret Kroesen back in 1889, which were designed and developed to assist in the minimization of wrinkles. Margaret had originally concocted these “wonder pads” to aid her daughter in getting rid of irksome frown lines and facial wrinkles. Frownies can be applied to the forehead and around the mouth area to address laugh lines and at the corners of the eye areas to deal with crow’s feet. This product aims to stimulate facial muscles and encourage them to assume their natural relaxed position. Frownies contain the two components known as unbleached natural Kraft paper and water-soluble (vegetable-based) dry gum adhesive.

Frownies are an anti-aging treatment product that is meant to be left on your face for a minimum of three hours. However, it’s encouraged to leave Frownies on overnight while you sleep. They can be removed easily after thoroughly dowsed with water. Several magazines have commended Frownies for their anti-aging results. Essentially, Frownies aim to provide consumers with an alternative to measures such as Botox. These anti-wrinkle facial pads were created to deal with facial muscle relaxation and to assist people with the natural aging process. Frownies has branched out to offer a hydrating spray, facial cleanser and makeup.

Product Details

Frownies are basically facial pads designed from “skin-friendly materials” to benefit those who suffer from facial lines and wrinkles. This product is applied to the face where wrinkles are evident. Frownies then hold the skin flat, which allows it to smooth out while also enabling the skin cells to reposition themselves. Frownies are made from very simple ingredients like unbleached natural Kraft paper and water-soluble dry gum adhesive. They encourage facial muscle relaxation and aim to diminish wrinkles.

The Good

  • Frownies have been around since 1889 and have a notable reputation.
  • The official Frownies website offers products for sale online.
  • Testimonials are provided on the website.
  • Frownies lack any harsh ingredients.
  • There is a money-back guarantee on the official website.

The Bad

  • Frownies may need to be applied for long periods of time in order to be effective.
  • The website lacks special coupons for Frownies products.
  • Frownies contain no moisturizing ingredients.
  • Frownies will likely have to be used regularly to make a considerable difference, and also for an indefinite period of time.
  • Forwnies are definitely “your mother’s anti-aging product.” No offense to mom, but one would think that technology has advanced since then.

The Bottom Lines

There’s no doubt that Frownies wrinkle pads are fairly unique products considering the plethora of anti-aging serums on the market today. However, Frownies might prove to be a hassle for some consumers, who simply don’t have the time to apply adhesive pads to their face on a regular basis. It’s not quite as convenient as slapping on some cream or lotion. Then again, this product has stood the test of time. Sticking around for 100+ years is no easy task. When it comes down to it, it’s mostly about choices in regards to wrinkle remedies. Would you prefer to place pads on your face overnight or routinely apply a cream or serum of some sort? The age of the technology involved may make some hesitate, and you may wish to contrast Frownies with some more modern anti-aging products.

Dermapril-SP was rated the best-in-class performer, with a cutting-edge formula and results visible immediately after use. Matrixyl 3000™, the primary active ingredient in Dermapril-SP, is backed by clinical research that showed reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles of as much as 33% after two months of use.
