skeptical look

Expression showing disbelief

A skeptical look is a facial expression conveying doubt or disbelief—typically raised eyebrows, narrowed eyes, or a slight frown.

It signals that someone isn't buying what they're hearing: She gave him a skeptical look when he claimed the dog ate his homework.

The look may be fleeting or sustained, mild or withering.
