I believe the answer is:

cartridges

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'dab of cream works' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I can't see?

'on wrinkles articles in magazine' is the wordplay.
'on' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'wrinkles' becomes 'ridges' (ridges in a surface).
'articles in magazine' becomes 'cart' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'ridges' put after 'cart' is 'CARTRIDGES'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for cartridges that I've seen is " containers".)
