I have heard such amazing things about medik8, if I had to choose a non tret option, this would be it!

Prescription Tretinoin will be the only effective thing at actually eliminating wrinkles! I would look into that :)

You can see your primary care doctor or derm. It’s a fairly common prescription cream so next time you’re doing an annual checkup you can just add that you’d like to try it out for wrinkles :)

I agree with Tretinoin. On days I don't use tretinoin I use SIO forehead patch and apply a balm or petroleum right over after removing. I am 35 and my frown lines drastically improved.

@pinkdaisy I spread tretinoin 0.05% all over my face and avoid the eye area. Although I don't directly apply to the eyes, the surrounding area where crows feet appear drastically improved to non existent considering my age. I was in optometry school and my skin aged fast due to stress and lack of sleep and my skin really improved there. As far as smile lines or if you mean nasofabial folds then no. I luckily got them at no cost with my insurance at the time and have lasted me 2 yrs. However some insurance plans you can see how much they cover if any, if not use good rx, or try curology which sells it to you cheaper if you don't have good insurance. The first time I was prescribed it when I paid out of pocket with no insurance it was 100 usd but again, one tube lasts a year or more. And the expiration date is usually for 3yrs. It well worth every penny.

Tretinoin absolutely. I use it and do "exposure therapy". Basically put it on for 30 minutes and then rinse it off. I've read studies saying this is just as effective but reduces irritation by 80% or so. I would also recommend a chemical peel. Makeup Artist's Choice sells several different kinds. They explain them in detail and allow you to buy samples that are enough for several peels for less than 10 bucks. The TCA and mandelic peels totally changed my skin. Other than that PDO threads are a good option. I do my own but that's not for everyone so I'd recommend finding a good med spa.

I often have "wrinkles" on my forehead who will disappear when I massage them
I press firmly with my fingertips and move the muscles to relax them (no skin rubbing)
