The short answer

Face tape is simple: it holds the skin still overnight where you make expressions. It isn’t an injectable, it doesn’t need to be pressed on hard, and it isn’t a one-size sheet.

Seven myths, answered

Myth“It works like an injectable.”

FactInjectables work beneath the skin for months. Tape works on the surface, overnight, helping keep the area relaxed while you sleep. The smoother look is temporary and builds with nightly use.

Myth“Taping your face will make it sag.”

FactToute Nuit is light and flexible. You apply it carefully until it feels secure rather than pulling it tight, and you peel it off slowly in the morning.

Myth“You need to press it on as hard as you can.”

FactJust apply it carefully until it feels secure. That’s all it takes.

Myth“One big patch works for every line.”

FactFaces crease differently. That’s why we make six shapes, each cut for a different line.

Myth“Face tape and skincare don’t mix.”

FactIt’s designed to go on last, over your moisturizer or serum, like a second skin that locks ingredients and moisture in.

Myth“It’s only for deep wrinkles.”

FactYou don’t need deep lines to start. It works as a nightly habit for lines that are just beginning to show.

Myth“A few nights and the results are permanent.”

FactThe smoother look is temporary. Think of it like the rest of your routine: it works because you keep doing it.
