Hmm, I do have frown lines around my mouth where I didn't before T.  However that was awhile ago so I'm thinking time is more at fault here.  I'm pretty sure my aggressive acne treatments did not do my skin any favors on top of that.  My eyes are still doing all right but I moisturize those suckers like crazy. 

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

Maybe it has something to do with T changing the texture and appearance of the skin - maybe highlighting wrinkles that weren't so visible previously.

YES. Forehead in particular. Made me feel temporarily insecure and frightened.

that makes sense because T makes the skin thicker so maybe the lines become deeper

The first three days after I started T around my eyes started getting almost cracked-looking with how bad it was.  It went away after I changed my skin products.

That may have just been me getting used to it, though.  T does make you look more aged, if wrinkles worry you use a skin product meant to decrease/downplay wrinkles.
