[Routine Help] Wrinkles at 19?

I’m 19 years old, female and my biggest insecurities are my smile lines, frown lines and especially my sagging cheeks. Combined with my hooded eyes, my cheeks make my face look droopy and older compared to people my age.

I don’t think these are actual wrinkles because I’m still very young. I wouldn’t be surprised if they appeared later in life, but I definitely didn’t expect them this early.

At first, I thought they might be dehydration lines and that my skin is dry. For the past four months, I’ve been consistently using a hydrating cream and doing facial massages while respecting my skin care routine, but I haven’t noticed any improvement.I don't know what can be done with my saggy cheeks either.

I’m also hesitant to start using retinol or hyaluronic acid this early because I’m worried about damaging my skin at my age. From what I understand , a basic routine with a moisturizer ,cleanser and SPF should already be enough for young skin, unless there’s a specific skin concern that needs treatment.

Perhaps this could hereditary and that I indeed have wrinkles?

Does anyone have any tips?
