I need any recommendation, not Botox, for a product to help the "11" lines between brows. My bangs aren't doing it for me anymore. Help!!!

Retin-a at night and Alpha Hydroxy Acid in the morning.

I don't think there's anything really short of Botox to eliminate those lines, to be honest.

There is a line on HSN that says it has legal approval to say it addresses DEEP wrinkles. It is Dr. Jeannette Graf.

Mally was on the Rachel Ray show the other day and she took a thin concealer (looked like it was the size of an eyeliner) and drew right along the elevens to make then appear lighter and less noticeable. I know you said no Botox but I got it and loved my results.

What's wrong with Botox? I've seen it used so that just the lines are relaxed but the mouth still work!

I don't think any topical is going to work to reduce these lines. The two things that I've found to help (mentioned above) is using frownies while sleeping and using a lighter concealer drawn in a pencil-thin line over them. Instead of frownies I just put a piece of surgical tape over the area before I go to bed and it eliminates the furrowing while I sleep, since I'm a side sleeper. I look much better the mornings after I do this... preventing those lines for 7-8 hours does help. And the concealer helps to disguise them.

Sorry, but you're gonna need Botox.

Not thoroughly cleansing and keeping your skin exfoliated will make the lines more pronounced. I also got great results from microdermabrasion. It didn't make them go away but what once were fairly deep lines are now barely noticeable. I'd sooner have the lines than inject botulism into my system.

RoC works, but slowly.....6 months. Botox is fast. I've used it for years with absolutely no reactions of any kind

This is another big reason why I love my bangs!!!! If the Frownies work for this, someone, please post!!! I can't use anything heavy duty on my skin and I can't afford Botox, etc., plus I'm afraid of it. Thanks!

OK, I have bad elevens. And I am young. It's my eye sight. Nothing works except BOTOX. SAVE UP for it.

I used to use a Frownies-like product called "Furlesse." These are better than Frownies. They stay on better and don't require water to stick on. Plus they are clear.

It took me years to get over my fear of Botox. I tried it once, felt like a fraud, then didn't use it again for three years. Now I use it regularly. People react to me differently because I'm no longer scowling at them.

Frownies do work if you use them as they say. Also sometimes when Im out of them I use medical tape. It really does work too if you use it every single night right over the lines. Its a temporary fix of course but in time the lines are softened with either of these!!

Oh be sure to remove the tape if you decide to try, 2 hours or so before you leave the house. Sometimes it will leave a mark but it will go away and really and truly if you use every night the lines do get softer for the day!

I do that with a yellow toned concealer when I'm really gussied up for something special and I do think it helps some.

I never heard of Furlesse but I see a lot of good reviews on Amazon! Thank you for sharing about these!

The things with the tapes, such as Frownies, is that they won't stick if you have any creams underneath. (I don't know about the other brand.) And I want to keep my eye area, including between the brows, moisturized.

This is a "vulnerable" area for me, so I really pay attention to it. Microdermabrasion & facial massage, and keeping the area hydrated. Use a hylauronic acid serum/cream to plump up the area, and like the others have suggested, lighten the lines even further with camouflage. (lighter concealor) or a pen, such as the Touche eclat.

Also, use an acid treatment (AHAs, vitamin C and/or vitamin A -- retinol) to actually reduce the depth of the line. Won't get rid of the line, but can diminish.

And then, don't frown. Try to keep a pleasant facial expression throughout the day, which just may help your mood! Treat everyone well and be happy, and that may carry over into your night.
