We’ve all seen the “wrinkle tape” trend circulating on social media: silicone scar strips placed across the forehead or smile lines to mimic a kind of DIY Botox. But what started as a medical tool for post-surgical scars has quietly evolved into one of the simplest at-home rituals for smoothing fine lines and when paired with high-performance skincare, it can be surprisingly effective.

At Agent Nateur, we’ve been experimenting with this concept using our own formulations beneath the tape, and the results have been nothing short of luminous.

the science behind scar tape

Scar tape, often made from medical-grade silicone, works by creating an occlusive barrier, a breathable seal that locks in moisture and supports collagen alignment beneath the skin’s surface. It’s long been used to help flatten and fade surgical scars, but on healthy skin, that same technology can plump and smooth the appearance of fine lines overnight.

The key lies in hydration and tension release: by sealing the skin and limiting repetitive movement while you sleep, the tape helps lines appear softer and more rested by morning.

our wrinkle-tape ritual

To elevate this trend, we layer our most iconic actives beneath the tape, transforming a simple trick into a luxury overnight facial.

step one: prep with holi (water) and holi (c)

Mix a light veil of holi (water) with holi (c) and pat over freshly cleansed skin. This toner-serum hybrid is powered by high molecular weight ha, pearl, pitaya, and rose to flood the skin with antioxidants and moisture. It preps the surface and allows every active that follows to penetrate more effectively. Our stabilized vitamin C + calcium ketogluconate helps boost collagen synthesis by encouraging your skin to make its own hyaluronic acid and it brightens tone. It’s gentle enough to use beneath occlusion and enhances that post-tape radiance.

step two: seal with holi (oil) and holi (water) créme

Massage five to eight drops of holi (oil) into skin and follow with a few pumps of holi (water) créme. The fusion of rosehip, helichrysum, rice bran, niacinamide and Chronoglow delivers deep nourishment and creates a smooth, cushiony surface- the ideal canvas for applying your silicone tape.

the tape we love most: angel scar tape

We’ve tested countless versions of silicone scar tape, and Angel Scar Tape is the one we reach for again and again.

It’s soft, flexible, medical-grade, and designed to support delicate skin without irritation. Unlike many cosmetic patches, it stays in place through the night yet removes easily in the morning.

Apply a small pieces of Angel Scar Tape over the areas you’d like to smooth- forehead lines, crow’s feet, nasolabial folds, neck and wrists. Make sure the skin beneath is taut as you press the tape down gently.

Relax, take your calm (beauty). Sleep and deeam

When you wake, peel the tape away slowly to reveal skin that looks refreshed, dewy, and remarkably smooth.

You’ll notice an instant visible difference- fine lines appear softened, skin feels hydrated and lifted, and makeup glides on effortlessly. With consistent nightly use, this ritual helps train the skin to maintain elasticity and moisture longer throughout the day.
