The woman shared how she “finally” defied the signs of aging in a post on Reddit’s Skincare Addiction forum.

DRAWING THE LINE

She said her forehead lines had been making her “really sad” since she turned 24.

“I used sunscreens, retinol, I exfoliated regularly, drank lots of water all the time, and did everything but still they came,” she said, writing under the handle Awwilliams.

The Redditor revealed that she tried Botox after being recommended it by other people on the forum.

She said it slightly reduced the appearance of her forehead lines but they came back after three months “worse” than before. 

“I also hated the fact that Botox changed my face,” she said.

“I didn't look as happy as I usually look. If that makes any sense whatsoever. 

“So I tried something else the dermatologist recommended which is called ‘Frownies,’ they are on Amazon and they come in 100 packs.”

She said "these little guys are amazing” and work best when applied before going to bed. 

“When you apply them correctly, the lines are reduced and gone almost instantly but come back a little bit after when you remove them,” she said.  

“But after 2 weeks they are gone.
