I’m not sure exactly why these are labeled “for men”, maybe they’re bigger than the ladies’ forehead patches? I’m not sure, but I’m a woman using them.
I’ve never used wrinkle patches before but I’ve been thinking about it for a while. I recently turned 30 and I feel like overnight I aged 10 years lol. That’s not exactly true, but I can definitely see my skin is ‘maturing’. I am trying to really get on all the anti-aging/skincare stuff now that I didn’t take seriously in my 20s, as a sort of late-start preventative.
Now, I don’t have serious forehead wrinkles, but I can see where some lines will be forming in the future. I am, however, starting to get those lines between my eyebrows and I do not like that.
I liked these in particular because they contain collagen, instead of being just patches to work against gravity, with no additional skincare ingredients.
I can definitely see when I take it off in the morning, my forehead is as smooth as a baby’s. For real, no lines or creases. BUT I also don’t have deep problems, and may be noticeably more effective for someone with less to combat.
It doesn’t last all day, but I imagine with most things it takes time for the ingredients to take effect and collagen plumps the skin.
It is a marvelous thing to see nonetheless.
I did attempt one night to cut one up - use a small piece between my eyebrows, and two halves on either of my cheeks (my biggest problem areas, they’re starting to sag now that the ‘baby face’ is gone ☹️) and it did not work, at all. They would not stay put - lifting and sliding no matter what. Plus I kept touching them to make sure they were in place, which I think made the things worse. So I don’t recommend doing that.
I think the shape of these are an important part of them staying in place on your forehead.
I do recommend putting these on at least 30 minutes before you’re ready for bed. They have a goopy gelatinous sort of texture and they need time to ‘adhere’ to your skin, otherwise they slide around.
Thought once it’s in place I’ve had no problem sleeping in it and it staying exactly where it’s supposed to be all night.
These have been fun, and beneficial in my case. I think you get a great amount in comparison to other brands (plus the collagen bonus most don’t have). I definitely recommend giving them a try!

According to the latest TikTok trend, stickers might just be the key to smoothing out wrinkles. Known as wrinkle patches, these thin sheets of silicone are like fragmented face masks that adhere to the skin, smoothing out areas where wrinkles form, such as the forehead and around the mouth and eyes.
On TikTok, users have shown themselves testing wrinkle patches for the face, neck and décolletage, comparing the skin-smoothing results to Botox and fillers. The hashtag #frownies, one of the leading wrinkle patch brands, has 69.2 million views, and #wrinklepatches has 18.8 million views, with videos featuring younger users and mature skin types alike.
As with most viral trends, we’re left wondering if face patches for wrinkles actually work. Read on to learn what dermatologists have to say about anti-wrinkle patches.
“Wrinkle patches work by covering the skin in order to decrease mobility in an attempt to prevent or improve wrinkles,” says Dr. Caroline Robinson, board-certified dermatologist and founder of Tone Dermatology.
They are often made of skin-safe silicone or paper that sticks to the skin and keeps it in place, so the skin stays taut and expression lines or wrinkles don’t have the opportunity to form or deepen. They come in different shapes and sizes for specific areas of the face, neck and chest that are prone to wrinkles. Most wrinkle patches suggest wearing them overnight for the best results.
“Silicone pads like Wrinkles Schminkles are a great noninvasive option for lines coming from facial expressions or from folding and compression of the skin during sleep,” board-certified dermatologist Dr. Hadley King says. “The pads help prevent transepidermal water loss — locking in moisture so the skin will be better hydrated and will be better able to repair itself and produce collagen. And the pad also keeps the skin flat, so this helps prevent the creases that form during sleep.”
Sticking on wrinkle patches can aid in the short-term smoothing of wrinkles, helping the skin appear more plump and youthful. However, while TikTok users may claim that wrinkle patches give comparable results to Botox or fillers, the dermatologists we spoke to say that the results are limited.
“While wrinkle patches may sound promising, they have actually been around for decades and have never demonstrated long-term benefit in the improvement or prevention of wrinkles,” Robinson says. “Many of the benefits that are apparent after the patch is removed are short-lived.”
If you’re looking to create the effect of smoother skin for an event or you just want a bit of a facial refresh, wrinkle patches may help you achieve a bit of instant gratification. Wrinkle patches for the face can also contain other skin care benefits that contribute to anti-aging effects, like hydrating hyaluronic acid or skin-brightening vitamin C.
“Many wrinkle patches are silicone-based, and others contain skin care actives which may provide hydration and give a smoother appearance to the skin,” Robinson says. “I liken most wrinkle patches to sheet masks; they have the ability to improve skin hydration and can deliver skin care ingredients locally.”
Thankfully, trying wrinkle patches has relatively low stakes. Unlike injectables like Botox that relax the muscles that create the lines and have an effect that lasts months, wrinkle patches can give you short-term results without any needles.
According to King, silicone wrinkle patches are “safe for anyone to use,” although “caution should be used in areas prone to acne, rosacea and other skin inflammation.”
Robinson also advises that wrinkle patches with active ingredients may not be for everyone. “For those with sensitive skin, wrinkle patches that contain active ingredients such as beta hydroxy acids or retinol can be potentially irritating to the skin,” the dermatologist says. “It is alway a good idea to test any new skin care product before applying more broadly or leaving for long periods of time.”
Wrinkles Schminkles Silicone Eye Pads
“These medical-grade silicone pads keep the skin taut so it can’t crease or wrinkle while locking in moisture,” King says. “In their studies, 89% of women saw a reduction in crow’s-feet and/or under-eye wrinkles.” The kit comes with three pairs of reusable smoothing patches that are specifically designed for the eye area.
