Real foreheads please. No more Botox.

So I'm new to 3D characters, but one thing that bothers me is that no matter what the character's expression, their forehead does nothing. And no, aging morphs aren't the answer here. Babies are no diffrerent. You don't have to be old for your forehead to wrinkle when you're surprised or shocked or anguished. With young foreheads the furrows smooth out again. When the forehead does nothing, it results in the same lack of expression that folks complain about with Hollywood actresses who have adopted it.
I'm aware that this would require reworking the face, but I believe that it would provide much more realism for non-pinup scenes and give new options to artists.

There was someone working on a wrinkled feet/soles addon for Daz3d, not sure if its still a WIP or if its been released or what. I wonder if the methods used to create those wrinkled soles could also be used to make wrinkled foreheads and stuff. Here are some gifs showing what it looks like.
Those ladies have more wrinkles on their feet than on their faces. They definitely need the forehead wrinkles, just sayin'
I found that thread, https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/275696/feet-hd-detail-or-lack-thereof but they were using displacement maps and a custom morph for the feet to be more curved. They also seem to generally agree that they need and HD product for it to happen.
I did find two products that seem to have forehead wrinkles. The problem is that they're both only for G8F. https://www.daz3d.com/acting-skills-1-for-genesis-8-females & https://www.daz3d.com/acting-skills-2-for-genesis-8-females
Don't have the product, but this seems to be what you're looking for:
