Hi everyone,

I'm a 24-year-old male looking for some advice about my forehead.

I've had fine lines on my forehead for about 5 years. I believe they are dehydration lines rather than wrinkles, but I'm not sure.

For the past 5 months, I've been following a skincare routine consistently, but I haven't noticed much improvement.

My routine:

• Cleanser: Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser
• Moisturizer: Aquasoft Max Intensive Moisturizer
• Sunscreen: COSRX Sunscreen (every morning)
• Serum: the ordinary alpha arbutin

My skin feels hydrated after applying moisturizer, but the lines are still visible, especially in certain lighting.

I have a few questions:

1. Do these look like dehydration lines, or are they permanent wrinkles?
2. Is it normal to see little or no improvement after 5 months?
3. Should I continue this routine longer, or should I add or change any products?
4. Has anyone had similar forehead lines that improved over time?

I've attached photos.

Thank you for any advice or personal experiences.
