The short answer

Match the shape to the line. Grooves for horizontal forehead lines, Y-Shape for the 11s, Jet for both at once, Curve or Triangle to spot-target smaller lines, and Dolphin for broader laugh and marionette lines.

The quick guide

Triangle Spot patch · small Any single line: forehead, frown lines, crow’s feet, smile and marionette lines.

Curve Spot patch · curved Follows curved lines: crow’s feet, frown lines, smile and marionette lines, chin crease.

Y-Shape Medium coverage Frown lines between the brows (the 11s). Also fits under the eyes and along smile lines.

Grooves Broad coverage Horizontal lines across the forehead.

Jet Broad coverage Forehead and frown lines in one patch.

Dolphin Broad coverage Smile and marionette lines around the mouth.

Why the shape matters

Every face creases differently. A patch that’s too big lifts at the edges; one that’s too small misses part of the line. Our founder, a makeup artist from Tokyo, drew each shape to follow a particular line or contour, so you choose by the line rather than cutting up a one-size sheet.

Covering a larger area

Two or more patches can be placed side by side to cover more skin. On a wider forehead, for example, use two Grooves next to each other.
