thinking of trying these for the "11" vertical lines at top of my nose, has anyone tried them please?

I wouldn't bother. They don't seem to do anything and leave a sticky residue on your forehead. Although I have never managed to use them for more than a couple of nights at a time!

No. I used them to try and give me a brow lift.

They so nothing. Nothing at all. Save your money.

I had Botox for awhile but my then partner who didn't know I was having Botox commented that I looked smug all the time.

I've stopped having Botox, and I don't really have any wrinkles but I don't look smug.

I cut some micropore tape and used it in the same way as frownies. I've found it great. I've realised that I used to permanently have a little frown, my forehead feels more relaxed now and my frown line has not gone but has decreased.
So don't buy frownies just try some cheap micropore first!

thankyou! brilliant answers, micropore here I come:)

I'm going to road test this as well. My forehead is fine but I have one vertical line between my eyes at the top of my nose.

Botox did help but it also made me look 'smug'.

Ill report back.

Where would you stick the micro pore tape?

SundaySimmons · 07/04/2014 22:46

I've just ordered some of Amazon.

I will lift the skin slightly to smooth out the line and place tape over it.

When using the micropore tape I basically copied everything from the frownies website.
So I cut the micropore into a frownie kind of triangular shape and stuck it on the vertical line between my brows after stretching the skin to flatten the line.
My sister has tried it after I told her about it and she said her line improved after two nights!
