Without seeing you I can only speculate, but iIwould say in general that "wrinkle filler creams" are unlikely to do much for established wrinkles. Botox works by relaxing hyperactive muscles that can result in lines such as the vertical lines between the eyebrows. In the lower face, in particular the lines that run from the corner of the mouth toward the chin, a filler is more likely to be recommended. Good ones for this are Restylane and Juvederm.
