Crepey skin

I have just turned 50 and only just noticed crepey skin on my cheeks. What are people using for this, and what make up are you using?

When I was young, make up for mature women was thick and heavy, sometimes with lanolin. Colours were deep and intense. After 30 I have struggled with foundation and after spending A LOT, I’ve settled on minimal serums, oil, sunscreen, primer, a literal dot of either concealer/serum foundation with skin filter, and setting spray rather than powder. I lean towards ‘soft glam’ with dusky rose tones. I love multi use products like some of the sticks you use on eyes, lips and cheeks. I do not contour, just occasionally under the jawline, as my face is giving way to gravity. The sagging is worse than the wrinkling as I’m East Asian.

I’ve heard niacinamide helps refine pores. Will this help for the crepiness? What else helps? I haven’t had success with the pore putties. I also have pigmentation. I believe this, and the sagging, are the biggest problems for Asian skin.
