The home of K-beauty, Korea isn’t afraid to push the boundaries when it comes to all things skincare, as they work with new ingredients, formulas, and techniques to create some of the world's most sought-after products.
Always ten steps ahead of the game, the latest product to do the rounds on TikTok are wrinkle patches, and we couldn’t wait to do some digging.
Women are allegedly snubbing botox in the name of Marshique Wrinkle Repair Patches, claiming the product can reduce wrinkles overnight. Yep, you read that correctly.

In a rave Instagram review that has amassed over 25,000 likes, Belgian beauty blogger Leïla Poleszczuk wrote: "Forever choosing Korean wrinkle patches over botox for improving anti-ageing signs." OK, we're listening.
In the caption, she explained that the wrinkle patches are filled with ‘potent ingredients such as adenosine, collagen, five types of hyaluronic acid, and six types of peptides to boost elasticity and deeply moisturise.’
Leïla recommends wearing the patches for up to eight hours, ideally overnight for maximum results. Although not as effective as botox, she credits the wrinkle patches for keeping her skin ‘smooth and youthful’ - and she’s not the only one.

One happy customer took to the Amazon reviews section to hail the ‘game-changing’ wrinkle patches. She wrote, “Game-changer!!! After three nights of using these patches the wrinkle between my brows has flattened out significantly! I’m very happy with the results.”
Another agreed, adding: “I always frown when I sleep and wake up with wrinkles between my eyebrows. With this patch, I don't wake up with wrinkles anymore.”
And in case you’re wondering how long it takes to see results, a third customer said they ‘saw a difference after one use’. We’re sold.
What do wrinkle patches do?
Wrinkle patches are designed to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. According to the brand, the Marshique Wrinkle Repair Patches will prevent the evaporation of moisture from the skin - and as we all know, hydrated skin is the first step to preventing wrinkles.

In the product description, it says the wrinkle patches will provide physical support and prevent wrinkles from forming. They’re designed to fit snugly around the eyes to tackle common crow’s feet while two patches can be joined for broader coverage - think forehead lines.
What are the ingredients?
A quick look at the ingredients list on the cult wrinkle patches and we’re happy. Hyaluronic acid is up there and as we all know, the hero ingredient is famous for its hydrating properties - the key to preventing wrinkles.

Glycerin also makes the list and is equally renowned for hydrating the skin and supporting the skin’s natural recovery process.
How do I use wrinkle patches?
To use the wrinkle patches, simply smooth out wrinkles and areas of concern and then apply the patches in the areas of concern on a clean face before you head to bed. The wrinkle patches require four to eight hours to be absorbed into the skin. To remove, wet the patch with water to avoid irritating the skin.
According to one of our favourite beauty experts on TikTok, @bambidoesbeauty, who frequently uses wrinkle patches - you should apply your night serums and creams as usual, let the skin dry, and then apply the wrinkle patches. It's not recommended that you re-use the patches.
Where can I buy the wrinkle patches?
The Marshique Repair Wrinkle Patches are now available on Amazon UK for the first time. You can buy a pack of five for £27.50. Race you to the checkout.
