Oia anti-wrinkle silicone skin patches review: Did they work? 

Agreed!

Hmmm interesting.

The longer you use them (months or years) the longer they work. There’s this lady (Spanish channel) has been using medical tape which has similar effects. She’s like in her sixties but her skin is so nice looking without many wrinkles and she says that’s her secret.

Good to know!

How do you apply it?

@melissagreen You must be young to see the difference.

@@SG-wq4rm what do you mean?

Aww, thank you. Great to hear you enjoyed the review and weren’t put off by my morning face 😆 Thanks for subscribing!

Thank you! I will do 😊

Channel make them as well? I'll look up. When you were putting your patch under your eyes and get some swelling. You might want to go further down around your eye and check bone. Maybe you see a different on where you placing the patche especially eyes are so sensitive

I'm so glad you did a review on this product. Everyone once in a while I'll get a peel from my dermatologist. I like to use them right after she gets it done before I go to bed..I'm not ready for surgery yet. Alway's the eyes 👀

Thanks for watching 😊

Ahhhh después de una hora regresa nuestra realidad chicas 😅😅

Thanks for the advice!

I’ve included astaxathin in my daily routine -a pink algae that gives salmon, shrimp, flamingos their brilliant pink hue-it’s impressive how glowy, supple my skin looks , energy boosted, added UV protection , but the main benefits I’ve noticed are inflammation reduction, particularly a swelling in my foot that completely subsided after 3 weeks of daily 12mg use. It’s an impressive anti-Inflammatory effect ! I use a Canadian brand that grows their own algae & employs a gentle extraction process to harvest the micro algae / astaxathin. I take them with a tablespoon of avocado oil in the morning. Thought I would share .

@@PinCushionQueen How do I stop craving chocolate

@@TaxingIsThieving Treat yourself to 3 then 2 then one piece a day, then switch to 70% cocoa & grate your favourite kind over coffee, etc. I do this every morning & don’t crave it anymore. Sounds like a mineral imbalance that you need to straighten out. Go to a holistic doctor.

@@TaxingIsThieving You're probably seriously deficient in Magnesium. Try "Mag Breakthrough", which has multiple forms of magnesium for best absorption. Also, chocolate isn't necessarily "bad" for you, it's just that it depends on the type. A dark chocolate with a very high cacoa % is important. And of you learn how to make chocolate "fat bombs", they will satisfy a sweet tooth, & because of the saity of the good fats in the recipe, you won't need/want to over eat them. You can easy find recipes for them all over RU-vid.

That’s kind of you to say. Thanks for watching.

You’re welcome. Thanks for watching!

Thank you! ❤️❤️

Thanks Tera! Delighted to have you as a subscriber : )

That’s really interesting. Let us know if it works: )

@@thehonestchannel OK. I can give an update in early May 2021. Helpful if people reply to me at that time, asking for an update!

@@wownewstome6123 Thank you! Will look forward it.

@@wownewstome6123 It's now August. Results please 🤩

I've done this after watching a video on tiktok. Yes it works! 100% works. Only, 😅 it always makes me have nightmares! Seriously, I've yet to find someone else who has had the same thing. I know how odd it sounds but its true

That’s very kind of you to say - thank you. I turn 48 soon so there are definite wrinkles but good to hear they’re not too obvious: )

Thanks Janet! By red light, do you mean infrared or something else? Be interested to know what device you use.

@@thehonestchannel I use the Silk'n Facefx (bought a 2nd to use at the same time - I really like the product) - it's time consuming and I'd rather have a mask but they weren't a thing when I bought the Facefx. Mine still work so I still use them. You have to be consistent. When I first bought, I was lazy (used 1-2x/wk and figured it didn't work at let it sit for a year a so before committing. I totally noticed results in the 8 week period. I also use it differently too - I hold in one spot 3-5 min instead of moving all over face. Hence the long process and two devices. Mine is just red light. Should add it wasn't sold on infrared because if you get heat,well you get infrared. It is quite warm.

@@janetpelletier1238That’s really interesting. Thanks for the info : ) Glad you’re getting good results

Thanks Beth! Great to have you as a new subscriber 😊

That’s a great idea re the hands and feet!

Patsy Blake I use cling film too, yes messy but same results 💕

Thank you Kristi! It’s great to hear you found this helpful. Thanks for watching : )

@Kristi Attaway Heyy that’s my name and I spell it the same! I get excited because there’s not much of us! Lol

Thanks Teresa. So glad you found it useful - and welcome to the channel! 😊

Pretty much my experience. Thanks for watching and commenting.

The product wont make miracles, but in adition to a non-striping, moisturizing routine and with tretinoin, your skin is going to feel more hydrated and smooth, and your wrinkles flattened. If you’re 60 probably theres not much to do, but if youre young daily application of sunscreen is very important

So the wrinkles will “disappear “ for 8 hours ? Meaning of you have a function to attend to - use these over night ? Pls advise

@@zibtihaj3213 How long the effect lasts will vary from person to person. The skin is temporarily plumped by the trapped moisture. If I was going on a night out, I’d wear them for a couple of hours before putting my make-up on for the best effect.

@@thehonestchannel I see , thx a million

Hope that goes well for you, Lisa. You’ll have noticed on the review that I found the results short-lived but let us know if you feel there’s a longer term improvement.

Hi. Yes, you can keep them in the fridge - in fact, it’s suggested you do that on the instructions. I talk a little bit about that on the review.

Pretty much the same thing overnight - you get a good result when you take them off but it’s short-lived. Thanks for the removal advice! : )

I was going to suggest that as well ,plus gently holding the skin where you peel away the silicone. I love medical grade silicone for scar healing but find the face patches a little pricey for daily use & one can not use skincare underneath, which kind of makes them special event only for me. I find the Sio patches the best for sticking & are much thinner than Oia. Just a preference thing.

Thanks Kel. Glad you found it helpful

Agree 💯. you see so many women have there face done and still go out in the sun 🌞

What patches are you using for other area's on your body. Thank you 😊

Any additional information for patches for scars on your stomach or other areas other than your face. Please advise . Thank you, Happy Labor Weekend, hopefully someone will see this meantioned? September 3rd 2022

Hi! That’s really kind of you to say - and thanks so much for watching and commenting: )

@@thehonestchannel it's my pleasure, i think it is important to support creator's and want you to know the impact you had on me (:

@@insideoutbeauty3170 That’s just lovely to hear. Thank you ❤️

Thanks for sharing your experience 👍

@@thehonestchannelI appreciate your review. I wrote it somewhere else. Try placing your eye patch lower underneath your eye and check bone. Hopefully you won't have as much swelling. Even eye creams will do the same. Very sensitive area. Just follow your eye bone and right up your check bone at the edge of your eye. See if this might help? You never know

@@patricedrake544 Thanks Patrice! 🙏

You have to take supplements to, like collegen

I think it takes time. Months

yes i felt sadly let down

Thanks Isabelle. I talk a little bit about reuse in the video, so it’s up to 15 times that the makers say you should be able to keep using them.

How do you use?

Thank you!

Thank you! I get puffy eyes on my upper lids so I can’t say this helped with that but I do think it would be beneficial for under-eye puffiness

Pls tell, how was it ?is it worth to buy?

Thanks Debbie. I turn 48 in a couple of weeks so the wrinkles are becoming a bit more obvious : )

Thank you so much!

That sounds awful!

I was so sick the morning after my first use! Dizzy, nauseated, exhausted. Felt like I was hungover or something. I read the ingredients and they are alarming.....kerosene, among other things I wouldn’t want to put on my skin! Having a hard time getting a refund too. Don’t buy this product.

That’s called “allergic dermatitis”! The same thing happened to me with an off-brand foundation I ordered from Amazon (made in China). The ingredients weren’t listed, but I found out that those types of products are made with formaldehyde and lots of other dangerous ingredients. I’ll never do that again! It looks the this brand of skin patches doesn’t contain any chemical adhesives though, so I might give them a try.

@@courtneyblue15 The patches didn’t cause me any sensitivity but it’s definitely worth doing patch tests with new products - and checking the ingredients as you say.

@@MsAmely Blimey, my skin started throbbing when I used Frownies!

You’re most welcome. Glad you found this useful and thanks so much for liking and subscribing 😊

Really interesting to hear you see a big difference with the patches on your chest. I felt the difference was short-lived but do you think you’re seeing a longer-term result? Like you I’ve noticed the results some people are reporting from tretinoin. I’m very tempted but just a little cautious as it’s quite strong with possible side effects. It does offer impressive results though!

@@thehonestchannel it might seem odd, but i dont use the chest patches in the winter. I am so covered up in sweaters, i like to save them for spring and summer. When i do wear the chest patches consistently, my cleavage area is smooth, no lines. I want to start slow with a retinoid for my face, plus i am sure the prescriptions are expensive. Its so ridiculous that they dont sell strong retinoids over the counter...

@@denisemarie7991 I hear you when it comes to covering up in winter. Makes much more sense to wait until summer

@@denisemarie7991 I wonder (doubt) if these would work on my collarbone creases...

@@TaxingIsThieving you have creases on your collarbone but not your cleavage area?

I agree you’re better off concentrating on long term results

Yes, although I found it uncomfortable to put them close to my eyes.

You get the best result wearing them overnight - but just wearing them for a couple of hours before an event or night out (not that we have many of these at the moment!) does give you a nice (but temporary) smoothing effect.

@@thehonestchannel , I appreciate your honesty. I'm going to try this product. 🙂

@@susanduthie208 Thanks Susan. Hope it works out for you.

I'm concerned mostly with my neck and I've been using surgical tape to keep it on and I've gotten used to it. Plus I'm vain! They stick but not enough to stay on overnight but the tape helps. It's kind of a hassle and I can only do it because I'm single and sleep alone haha

@@mandyinseattle Good tip to use surgical tape. Do you think wearing the patches long term has created a lasting difference?

I’d be interested to hear if that works out for you. Certainly it helps the skin retain moisture: )

Hello ladies!! I started using to prevent wrinkle over night(where my face folds as I sleep) it had really worked for me, it can be hard to sleep with it at first, but slowly I got used to it. Make sure you pull it super gently, to avoid over stretching the skin.

You’re welcome! Thanks for watching : )

That's interesting because they're supposed to trap moisture. I wonder if they're irritating your skin? Definitely not ideal.

@@thehonestchannel I think it does trap moisture while it is on the skin, but once it is off, the moisture gets stuck on the silicone and not on the skin.

Yes, I mention the environmental factor. It’s why I’m not a big fan either.

Totally agree re price. Personally I would just use them occasionally but I know some people swear by them - especially for the décolletage.

Hi. Yes, I talk through the routine in the review. You can use them with face cream - you just need to let it dry into the skin : )

@@thehonestchannel Oh Thank you...a bit Hard of Hearing! 💗🙏🌺

Thanks Terese!

@Holly jones Agreed, but dematologist are also in it for the money. They keep you coming back to their office. Doctors today do not cure but mask your ailments.

The products that dermatologists sell you are incredibly expensive and often don’t show any results until you’ve had several treatments. And then you have to go back after a few months and get touch up work and then start all over again. We’re talking thousands and thousands of dollars. Because none of those cosmetic treatments are covered by insurance. So I guess if you’ve got thousands and thousands of dollars to spend then, that is probably a good idea. I’ve had fillers done before I’ve had Botox done before. And they’re good but they’re very expensive. So let’s be realistic there are good products that are not necessarily sold to you by or performed by aestheticians or dermatologists. Granted they take longer to work but are much much cheaper.

I went to several dermatologists. They don't really help because they're men or women not as focused on wrinkles or wrinkles prevention as I would be. They're more concerned with medical issues like acne, as they likely should be

@@akitschisjustakitsch5740 I would rather use Botox than pads don't work

Thanks for the info 👍

Yes, I can appreciate that. But the issue there as I say in the review is that the expense and environmental cost of using these daily long-term rules them out for me.

I don't see how it would plump skin without wearing them no matter how long you wear them at a time

well said I'm using slicone sheet (medical grade) from last 2 months and made drastic change on my face

@@anchaldeshwal4683 can you recommend a brand?

If they don’t stick then that’s no good. You’re right to return them. I found they did retain their stick as long as they are washed in cold water and air dried between uses.

😂

Lol😂

Yes, I felt the environmental factor paired with the price was off-putting. I haven’t tried adhesives as I don’t like the thought of putting that on my skin but others have commented on this video saying they do use an adhesive on theirs.

At least silicone doesn't degrade into micro-plastic. Do you use a bamboo toothbrush? Do you have a bidet? I suppose you can choose to go "with one _less_" thing to put out into the environment...

Absolutely - and no guarantee of a lasting anti-ageing effect.

Try buying it on eBay without the designer name

@@lizmarty8937 Do the cheap ones work

There is a neck patch in there, but I am (as yet) unlined on my neck so didn’t do a before and after for this video as there would be nothing to show - which cannot be said for my eyes, forehead and décolletage sadly! 😀

It would be tricky to make that stick, but the principle with these pads is simply trapping moisture for what seemed to me to be short-lived results so I get your logic : )

It felt very temporary to me - a few hours maybe and certainly if used overnight the effect was gone by late afternoon. The makers would argue that if used frequently it would have a longer-lasting effect.

Oh, thank you! I actually just use Max Faxtor's Face Finity foundation and find it works just as well as any : )

So from my own experience of using the patches overnight on a short-term basis (over several weeks), there is an immediate easing up of lines after use, but they come back pretty quickly.

I did have have good results with surgical tape, very cheap and effective if you know how to use it.

@@esn2130 pls tell how to use it

@@mavicj1683 its not a miracle, but they work to a point where I am not annoyed by them and they are not so obvious. I combined: - massaging the back of neck, scalp and forehead. Relax muscles=relax skin= less wrinkles. Check: oksana english channel for massages, very good and effective. -always wear sunglasses and get use to not frown or squint. It makes such a diffrence to get use to freeze your forehead and eyes. -sleeping on you back is really beneficial but I can't, so I sleep on a small pillow and I just rest my head on it from the ears back, so my face is touching nothing. I know as well which positions are smashing my face and causing the wrinkles. Get a mirrow, lie down and study your face while you are resting it on the pillow, you will learn the positions that are good for you. Over time is a second nature while you are sleeping not to rest in that position. Long term it makes a huge diffrence. -moisturize. I have a silicon rehusable masks (2 euro, pack of 2 in amazon. Best 2 euro I ever spent) that I use on a face masks. I use ones form a tube: embryolisse hydrating mask, water sleep form Laneige, or my latest is one fron uriage. I apply over a clean wet face, then the silicon masks and then I head to the shower or I rest with a warm towel on top. 10 minutes with that and your face is just sooo plump after!! Then my product and then an occlusive, very important so the moisture doesnt scape. I used to do that everyday until my skin got hydrated, now I do it every 4 days...or so. - The surgical tape: I use micropore from 3M or Boost own brand. I lie 3 layers or more of them and I put them in my eleven lines. Dont stretch the skin too much or you will cause wrinkles arround it. Relax the forehead, stretch the skin a little bit and then apply the tape. Put pressure with the palm of you habd so it is well stick. In the forehead put them vertical, you can put several along the line that is bothering you. In the crowds feet put them in the orbital bone, not too close to the eyes or you will cause wrinkles there.Put your fingers in the temples and smile, that way you will kniw which is the best place to put them that would freese the orbital muscle. - You will see inmediatw effects the following morning but it last a few hours. For seeing long term effects you need to do it I say for a month or so, deownding how bad they are. And keep doing a maintenance routine a couple of days a week, even less for me. - Good effective skin products work, not advertised by influencers!! - So massage+ masks+tape everynight!! Sorry for the english, is not my mother language. Good luck!!

Forgot to say I use 1.5 cm square in the eleven lines, enough to cover the line. Same size in the crows feet, and about 2 cm. In the forehead over a line I used to have, beguinnibg and end of it. And I use it as well if I am doing something I know is going to make me stressed the forehead: like gardening, bathing the children or long drive.

you can buy any silicone sheet of medical grade cut them as per your choice. What i did they're great

Sorry to hear that, Christine. Thanks for sharing your experience.

KEROSENE? OMG! WHY WOULD ANYONE WANT TO SOAK THEIR SKIN IN THAT?

How do they contain kerosene and they say they are petroleum free !! Where did u get those information

Yes, for best results you wear them overnight but you can still see a difference after wearing them for one or two hours

Great to have you as a subscriber! Thank you 🙏

Thanks Alison. I’ll keep looking for that wonder product that makes a visible difference on the eyes!

Yes, I mention that but I also make the point that using these things frequently long-term is not the most environmentally-friendly approach and it's quite the commitment too. It's not for everyone.

Thanks for watching : )

Hi. The Oia ones come in the crescent shape shown in the video. Are yours different?

Good question. A dermatologist would be best placed to answer, but I suspect that if your skin tolerates retinol well then this wouldn’t be a big issue. Whether it accelerates results or not would require a trial to find out. It would be an interesting one : )

@@thehonestchannel then perhaps, since it is still winter and we are all housebound....now is as good a time as any to give it a go!! I seem to tolerate retinol pretty good (after a brief ugly period). I will order the patches and let you know how it goes.

@@ismellya Looking forward to hearing how you get on.

Looking at the Amazon reviews of the cheapest patches there are a lot of people saying they don’t stick properly. These things just create waste which I hate to add to.

Hi. I’ve got that info in the video description : )

I think it would affect their stick if you put a gel under them. You can wear moisturiser but need to let it fully absorb into your skin before applying the patches.

Thanks Janice. I agree that expressionless is not a great look

The idea is the patches trap moisture to plump your skin. I didn't feel they made me hot, but I could feel my skin was damp when I took them off.

@@thehonestchannel yep, you sweated

@@FrugalQueeninFrance I guess they could always change the marketing slogan to 'powered by sweat'!

Hi Janice. When it comes to eyelids I’m still trying to figure it out. I had some benefit from Tixel (thermal ablation) and there are laser alternatives available in clinics, too. I haven’t found an over the counter cream that works. Retin A has been found to be quite effective in tightening skin but it is prescription only for a reason. I am trying glycolic acid at the moment paired with Nira at home laser so will let you know how I go.

Fibroblast

Makes no sense when there is Botox

That’s really frustrating! Have you tried asking for a refund?

Hi Cynthia. I turn 48 next month so I’m some way off 35 😊. I’m quite committed to anti-ageing - not just cosmetically, but from a total lifestyle perspective. I believe in living and looking as well as we can for as long as we can so I share what works and doesn’t work for me on this channel.

I filmed this in November 2020 so it’s possible they’ve changed the shape of their patches slightly since.
