But do they work?

As a dermatologist, I get asked about wrinkle patches at least three to four times a week.
These are my go-to patches for patients who want to ease into wrinkle treatments.
Each patch has 450 micro-darts to help get the ingredients deeper into skinpotentially yielding more dramatic results.
With 1,390 micropoints, the patch is especially great for crow’s feet and frown lines.
The larger size of these patches makes them perfect for covering and treating the entire undereye area.
One big plus of these patches is their non-slip technology.
So many undereye patches dont stay put long enough for the active ingredients to absorb, says Dr. Vasile.
(Its the latter that delivers the faster results.)
Plus, theyre individually wrapped to keep them fresh and ready.
(She wears them overnight.)
And it is a great price point.
They utilize a unique delivery system to ensure actives penetrate deeper into the skin.
Theyre incredibly convenient and mess-free, which makes them a perfect travel must-have, says Dr. Vasile.
Do wrinkle patches actually work?
Wrinkle patches workbut howwellthey work depends on the pop in.
Hydrogel or adhesive patches create a sealing effect, allowing actives to more effectively while also preventing moisture loss.
Theyre more of a short-term fix rather than a long-term solution.
Are there any drawbacks to wrinkle patches?
While wrinkle patches can be an effective part of a skin-care routine, they have limitations.
For one, since theyre single-use products, the cost can add up.
Does the brand offer a wide shade range inclusive of consumers with all skin tones and undertones?
Is it safe for readers who have sensitive skin or wear contact lenses?
Is it on the affordable side or more of a splurge?
Is its packaging consciously designed or needlessly wasteful?
This ensures our testing base spans different skin tones, genders, and dermatological conditions.
