Forehead wrinkles

I’m 56, not got tons of dosh so if I do something I need it to at least improve things!

Recommendations to help with deep forehead wrinkles please. I can’t afford injections etc so something I can do at home. My skin generally is good and few wrinkles elsewhere, just a forehead evidencing a lifetime of being worried!

thank you in advance

So do I.

Products like tretinoin are the only thing that work on wrinkles - but only fine lines, not deep wrinkles. Skin can appear plumper and smoother with peptides, vit c or hyaluronic acid. None of these will shift deep creases.

If it’s just on your forehead then a fringe would be a game changer. This really is your only option beyond botox.

Although one final option is obviously not caring, cheapest of all!

Ah. I can help. Nivea Q10 wrinkle filler serum. I've been using ir for about a week or so and noticed an improvement within a day or two. My wrinkles weren't that bad as only just noticed them but I think it helps. I am using a Nivea cellular cream for the lines down the side from my nose and that is less good I think.

Why are you getting the lines ? Are you squinting in bright light ? Eyesight ?

I noticed a difference in my face with masks , I have to put more expression in the uncovered bit , people cannot see if I'm smiling otherwise . ( I wear a mask at work)

Botox or fillers is not an option for me .

Fringe and Prai cream / serum works though

Thanks all.

@70isaLimitNotaTarget I honestly don’t know! They’ve been there a long time, just like my permanent expression - people have always said I look worried even when I’m not! The Nivea Q10 sounds a good starting point, ditto the fringe (but a haircut is £££).

Shop around as it varies a lot in price. I've got it for £6-7 but normal price is £15.

A fringe.

Seriously I've had a fringe for 90% of my life (over five decades) and I have only the slightest hint of a crease.
