Brief Answer:
Retinol based cream, vitamin C serum & broad spectrum sunscreen

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to ask a doctor service
I have gone through your query and understand your concern.
I would recommend you to apply a retinol based cream on the wrinkles and lines at bedtime along with frequent and regular application of a broad spectrum sunscreen on the entire face 2-3 times in a day.
Also apply a vitamin C serum on the affected areas in the morning.
Take a diet rich in fruits and vegetables and stay away from direct sun exposure.
This should help in improving your wrinkles.
Regards
Dr Asmeet
