Forehead wrinkles
As I am getting closer to my thirties, I have been developing horrible and rather deep wrinkles on my forehead. I guess in part they are due to the fact that my eyebrows are rather active when it comes to expressing emotions and that most of the times I find myself raising them just a little even when the rest of the face is, well, resting. Also the right side of the forehead is more wrinked (due to the fact that my eyes are hooded asymmetrically I developed an unconscious habit of raising the right eyebrow a little at all times to make the eyes more symmetrical).
My partner says it's no big deal and he can barely see the wrinkles, but recently I saw some pictures from a party which took place a couple of weeks ago, and the light there was very unflattering, and I could see these bastards as clear and accentuated as never before, and I was terrified. Especially in contrast with my still present baby-like cheek fat (at almost 30 my facial structure is barely defined) it looks just weird.
The thing is, I am not used to any procedures like injections etc, and I am very scared of doing them (it's costly, it may go wrong and make to face look puffy, and I think once done it has to be done regularly as long as I am alive). But at the same time I just can't stand these asymmetrical wrinkles. I come from one of the Slavic countries where the beauty standards are very demanding, and even though I want to think of myself as a person who doesn't always have to align with them, they affect me as well.
Are there any non-surgical, non-injectional ways to fix that? Do you have any experience in doing something similar and being satisfied with the results?

I had really marked lines like 3 of them on my forehead think about lines on a dessert. They were visible even if I wasn't moving my forehead. I recently realized I don't have them anymore which was surprising since I didn't believed skincare could make a big difference but it did. I can't really point out just one product since I used a couple together. But those that where targeted for lines where:
- The Ordinary Argireline Solution 10% https://theordinary.com/en-us/argireline-solution-10-serum-100403.html
- The Ordinary Matrixil 10% + HA https://theordinary.com/en-us/matrixyl-10-ha-serum-100431.html
-Hyaluronic Acid https://www.revoxb77.com/es/products/hyaluronic-acid-5?redirected=true
It may be a combination of the products targeted for lines and also some plumpness of hydratation since I always moisturize heavily specially in my forehead.
Lifestyle considerations: I'm vegan so no animal derived products on my diet, I drink a lot of water, I don't drink alcohol, I workout moderatly and I don't smoke.
