A WOMAN has discovered a super cheap Superdrug find that works just like Botox - and the results have completely blown her away.
Alice Sofia Dulka shared how the product helped fix her crow's feet when she couldn’t make it to her cosmetic injection appointment for another three weeks.
Crow’s feet are the wrinkles that show up at the corners of your eyes, stretching out towards your temples.
Known as on TikTok, she revealed the secret to glowing skin and smoother fine lines isn’t in the beauty section - it’s actually in the medical aisle.
Speaking to camera while in her local Superdrug store, she explains that the Silicone Scar Sheets “are really good like Botox.”
But “not replacement, I guest just like interim.”
Alice adds: “Silicone scar wound strips are really, really good.
“They act as a collagen booster and also you stick them on your face at night basically and it stops the lines from, I guess, forming.”

In a previous article, we also revealed how a 35-year-old woman who often gets mistaken for a 12-year-old praised the same trick.
Krystn Walmsley explained that every time she talks about her go-to wrinkle-banishing hack, people can’t believe someone who looks so young even needs it.
In a video, Krystn credited her youthful appearance to silicone scar sheets.

A study published in thesuggests that turmeric and curcumin may help prevent DNA damage and aid in DNA repair.
This is promising news for disease prevention and slowing the ageing process. It also:
Boosts Collagen Production: Collagen is a protein that maintains the skin's elasticity and firmness. As we age, collagen production decreases, leading to wrinkles and sagging skin. Turmeric helps stimulate collagen synthesis, thereby promoting firmer and more youthful skin.
Improves Skin Health: Turmeric has been shown to improve various skin conditions, such as acne, psoriasis, and eczema. Its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties help soothe the skin, reduce redness, and promote a clearer complexion.
Collagen is key for keeping skin firm and elastic, which helps reduce wrinkles and fine lines.
As part of her evening skincare routine, Krystn applies castor oil under her eyes - an antioxidant that may help slow down aging.
Then, she relaxes the muscles in her forehead and applies a strip of tape horizontally across it.
Dermatologist and skincare enthusiast Andrea Suarez - known as Dr Dray - revealed why you should wear suncream.
The one thing you can do that will make the biggest difference - and this matters for all ages - is protecting your skin from the sun, Andrea stressed.
"The vast majority of external aging is due to exposure to ultraviolet radiation," she continued, not because you're "not using some jazzy serum or layering 90 different things on your face everyday".
"If you're not doing in your 20s, get on that now."
But she said the use of sun cream alone doesn't go far enough. Andrea urged that you also wear sun-protective clothing like broad-brimmed hats and long sleeves, on top of not staying out too long in the sun.
Doing this over your lifetime - and all year, not just during the summer or on sunny days - "will reduce the visible signs of photoageing", Andrea said.
Those are wrinkles, muddled pigmentation and sagging skin.
