There are so many skin products out there for winkle and lines. How do anyone know what really works or who is creditable? My lines are due to sun damage and stress.

If you have sundamage and wrinkles there are few store brand products that will work alone. My recommendation is to consider a few things:

Medical Grade Microdermabrasion - go to a medical spa (physician on duty) or dermatologist. This will help reduce some of the fine lines.  Dont bother with the in-home kits - they don't help with real issues such as sun damage.

If the lines are in your forehead or around your eyes - Botox injections will help that. Must go to a medical spa or derm office. Cosmetic fillers ( juvederm or restylane) help with lines or folds around the mouth.

You can use a high grade (10% or more) vitamin c serum to help with the sun damage. I use vitamin c serum at home in between microderm treatments.  The vitamin c has reduced my sun damage on my face.

Use products with free glycolic acid.  I use gytone products which I purchase at my medical spa.

If you want to really improve your appearance, see an anti-aging physician.

I like medical spas because they offer discount specials - unlike dermatalogists.

I use Oil of Olay products, more for moisturizing than wrinkles. I don't have many, and the ones I have don't bother me much.
