Our Take

Why it made the edit.

Why we love it: Two shapes, diamond and butterfly, let you customize coverage. The brand has been making them since 1889, which says something about staying power.
Skip it if: You want to lift sagging skin. Frownies says the patches don't do that.
The catch: Results need consistency, and the brand recommends nightly use for 30 nights to start. They don't go under the eyes or on eyelids.
