Wrinkles / fine lines & dark circles around my eyes - how best to treat??

Just that really - I'm 40 & have increasingly noticeable fine lines & wrinkles as well as dark circles under my eyes.
I'm wanting to 'treat' them now & hopefully stop them from getting worse!
My mum has quite big bags / wrinkles under her eyes so I'm wanting to prevent that for me!!
Is there any miracle cream I can use? Or make up to cover it up at least???!
Thank you!

No advice but watching with interest!

Watching with interest too. I've been looking at Tear Trough fillers. Anyone have any experiences of these types of fillers? I've got dark circles too.

Vitamin A - retinol, vitamin C and sunscreen are the things that work from what I've read as far as topical products can.

Beyond that botox, fillers, lasers, PRP etc.

Sculptra injections for tear troughs and lack of volume anywhere—I’ve just gotten a round this year (requires at least 3 sessions spaced a month apart) and I LOVE it. Your body makes it’s own collagen and results are natural and gorgeous. Lasts a very long time as long as you take protective measures. The volume is made by your own body and I have the same fullness I did in pictures 15 years ago now.

As for wrinkles, sunscreen and prescription retinoids are the only things proven to really work..or you could try lasers and micro needling.
But no over the counter creams are going to do much
