"...rather than giving him wrinkles"

In which sentence or sentences is the word "wrinkle" used correctly?

My husband's face has started getting wrinkles. I'm going to look for a younger man.

Correct choice. The word "wrinkles" is used correctly here. The noun "a wrinkle" is a small fold or indentation, often in the skin. Example: "I've found my first wrinkle! It's next to my left eye".

When she smiles, her nose wrinkles. It's really cute.

This is a correct use of the word "wrinkles". To "wrinkle" is to acquire small folds. Another example: "I love this linen skirt, but it wrinkles as soon as I sit down".

Delavigne's anti-wrinkle cream is very effective.

This is a correct answer. Many people buy anti-wrinkle cream to stop the skin from ageing. Botox is also used these days, but some people look like trout when they use too much!

If you wrinkle the letter in half, it should be easier to fit in the envelope.

This is not a good choice. You shouldn't "wrinkle" paper, you should "fold" it.
