To effectively reduce these wrinkles, you can start from the following aspects:

1. Sun protection: Ultraviolet rays are one of the main causes of accelerated skin aging. Using sunscreen with a high SPF value daily, especially during outdoor activities, can reduce UV damage to the skin and prevent the formation of new wrinkles.

2. Moisturizing: Keeping the skin hydrated is important for preventing and reducing wrinkles. Using moisturizing products containing ingredients such as hyaluronic acid and glycerin can help maintain the skin's moisture, reducing the appearance of fine lines.

3. Antioxidants: Antioxidants such as vitamin C, vitamin E, and green tea extract can help combat damage from free radicals and slow down the skin aging process. These ingredients can be obtained through diet or skincare products.

4. Eye care: It is recommended to use an eye cream containing nourishing ingredients consistently in the morning and evening, which can effectively soothe and reduce wrinkles around the eyes. Additionally, keeping the skin around the eyes moisturized is also very important; hydrating masks or eye creams can be used for this purpose.

5. Healthy lifestyle: Ensuring adequate sleep, a balanced diet, moderate exercise, quitting smoking, limiting alcohol consumption, and consuming more foods rich in collagen and vitamin C, such as fish, pig's trotters, lemons, and oranges, can help improve wrinkles around the eyes.

6. Professional treatments: If the above methods have limited effectiveness, you may consider some professional skin treatments, such as laser therapy, microneedling, and dermal filler injections.

Any professional treatment should be performed under the guidance of a doctor to ensure safety and effectiveness.
