Almost 40 - need help with under eye make-up - everything creases!

I'm almost 40 and really struggling to find under eye make-up (corrector/ concealer) that doesn't crease into my fine lines. I've tried so many different brands all sold as "miracle" cover up for fine lines but nothing seems to work! I have combination skin, I do use an under eye cream and moisturiser before I put make up on so wondering if this might not be helping. Currently using a stick concealer, not liquid as that is definitely worse.

Anyone found a routine with moisturiser and concealer that doesn't crease?

Use Roc eyebalm. You can use it under concealer and even during the day.

Only use concealer in the corners of your eyes and blend out. Don't use loads. Nars liquid concealer is good or Refy. Maybe a stick one would be drying but I don't know.

When youve put the concealer on, squint and then relax. The concealer that will settle in the lines will then be on the surface..you take a soft small brush and do tiny circles over them and blend them away.

I don't usually set with power, being over 50 but if I do I use a tiny bit of By Terry Hylaronic powder which is amazing and doesn't settle in lines.
