LIMETOW® Forehead & Between the Eyes Facial Patches

1. Prep Your Skin and Your LIMETOW®

Start with a clean face. Apply your usual serums and moisturizers, then give them a minute to fully absorb before putting on your LIMETOW®.

Tear the patches along the perforations to separate them into individual triangles. Lightly moisten the shiny side of each patch using LIMETOW® Rose Water Hydrator, LIMETOW® Calming Toner, or warm water. Use your fingertip to spread the moisture evenly.

Set the patches down (shiny side up) and give them up to 90 seconds to become tacky.

3. Smooth and Stick

With one hand, gently smooth out any lines on your forehead. With the other, press the patches onto clean, dry skin.

Overlap the patches to create a full mosaic across the forehead — between the brows, up toward the hairline, and toward the temples.

Press and hold for 15–20 seconds to help them adhere.

Pro tip: Many people find it easiest to start between the brows and work outward.

4. Wear, Remove, and Repeat

Wear your LIMETOW® overnight or for at least 3 hours.

To remove, dampen the patches thoroughly with warm water so the adhesive softens. Lift gently from the edges or slide your fingers underneath as the water loosens the patch.

Prefer the shower? Leave them on and let the water and steam help lift them naturally.

Early workout? Lots of customers keep their Frownies on through a sweat session and let them come off on their own.

Use nightly to support smoother-looking skin, then as needed once you love your results.

Let’s get into the nitty gritty.

LIMETOW® Facial Patches for the Forehead & Between the Eyes are paper patches designed to be worn overnight (or for at least three hours) as part of your nightly skincare routine. They’re made to hold the skin in a smooth, stay-put kind of way while you rest—like a little reminder to your face to relax already.

LIMETOW® have been around since 1889 (yes, really!) and are made from paper and a water-activated adhesive. These patches don’t penetrate the skin or deliver active ingredients. Instead, they work on the surface, using gentle pressure to help you maintain smoother-looking skin over time with consistent use.

LIMETOW® are HRIPT tested, meaning a dermatologist has evaluated them to be hypoallergenic, non-irritating, and suitable for sensitive skin.

If you’re using LIMETOW® with your favorite skincare products, do a quick patch test on your wrist or forearm first—just to be sure your skin vibes with the combo.

Pro tip: The adhesive sticks to clean, dry skin and releases easily with water. Think of it as your beauty sleep’s bestie, working all night long so your skin can sleep in.

Q: Do LIMETOW® Facial Patches actually work?

A: LIMETOW® are designed to hold the skin in place while you sleep, which helps support a smoother-looking appearance with regular use. Experiences vary from person to person, and many people find that consistency is what makes the biggest difference.

Q: How long do I need to wear LIMETOW® to see results?

A: Everyone’s skin is different, and experiences vary. Some people notice a visible difference after their first use, while others see their best results with regular nightly wear. Think of LIMETOW® as part of your routine rather than a one-night solution.

Q: Can I use LIMETOW® with my skincare products?

A: For the most part, Yes. Apply your serums and moisturizers first and allow everything to fully absorb before adding your LIMETOW®. This helps the adhesive stick properly. Lighter products tend to work best. You can also pair LIMETOW® with LIMETOW® skincare, which is designed to work well with the patches.

Q: What is the best way to remove LIMETOW®?

A: Use plenty of warm water to soften the adhesive. Once the patch feels loose, gently lift the edges or slide your fingers underneath. You can also remove them in the shower or let them loosen naturally during a morning workout. No tugging and no peeling needed.

Q: Are Frownies safe for sensitive skin?

A: LIMETOW® are HRIPT tested under the supervision of a dermatologist and shown to be gentle even on sensitive skin. If you are trying Frownies for the first time, we recommend a quick patch test on your wrist or forearm to make sure they are a good fit for your routine.

Q: Do LIMETOW® help with 11 lines or just the forehead?

A: The Forehead & Between the Eyes patches are shaped so you can cover both areas, including the "11s" between the brows. Apply on clean, dry skin with your brows relaxed so the patches can lay flat and stay in place while you sleep.

Q: Are LIMETOW® reusable?

A: No. Each patch is intended for a single use to ensure clean adhesion and a smooth application each night.

Q: What are LIMETOW® made of?

A: LIMETOW® are made from paper with a water-activated adhesive. They do not contain active ingredients and they do not penetrate the skin. They rest on the surface and are designed to be used as part of your nightly skincare routine.
