Ariana Grande Clarifies She Hasn’t Used Botox and Juvederm in 4 Years, Says She’s ‘Still Clean’

Ariana Grande says she’s “still clean” when it comes to using injectables like Botox and Juvederm.

In her Rising Star acceptance speech at the Palm Springs International Film Festival on Friday, January 3, Grande, 31, joked about her youthful glow by crediting her “good friends Botox and Juvederm.”

She has since clarified that her comments were made in jest.

“Oh, my joke! My bit,” Grande quipped to Entertainment Tonight on Friday after the ceremony. “I’m still clean, but when I start going again, I’ll let you know. I mean it. I really want to be transparent as a beauty founder.”

Grande, who founded R.E.M. Beauty in 2021, further noted that it had been several years since she last used Botox and other similar products.

“I love it and I support it, but I am still four years clean,” the Wicked star added. “You see the lines? I love them.”

Grande previously said she stopped getting both Botox and lip fillers in 2018.

“Being exposed to so many voices at a young age, and especially when people have things to say about your appearance at a young age, it’s really hard to know what’s worth hearing or not,” she told Vogue in September 2023. “When you’re 17, you don’t really know that yet.”

She added at the time, “Over the years, I used makeup as a disguise or something to hide behind with more and more hair and more thicker eyeliner — that can be so beautiful at times and I still do have love for it and appreciation for it. But I think as I get older, I don’t love that being the intention behind it anymore.”

Grande posited that her beauty journey used to be about “hiding.”

“I want to see my well-earned cry lines and smile lines,” the Golden Globe nominee stressed to Vogue. “I hope my smile lines get deeper and deeper and I laugh more and more and I just think aging can be such a beautiful thing.”
