What the AI looks for in Neck & Décolleté Moisturizers
- Sunscreen matters more
- Apply broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher to the neck and chest daily UV damage drives most neck and chest aging, and no cream reverses it as well as prevention.
- Gentler actives
- Use lower retinoid strength or less frequent use on the neck than on the face Neck skin is thinner and irritates more easily.
- Same ingredients as face care
- Look for retinoids, peptides and niacinamide, the same actives that work on the face There are no actives that work only on the neck; 'neck cream' is mostly a marketing label.
- Fragrance-free
- Avoid fragrance near the jaw and chest if you are prone to irritation Neck skin reacts easily to fragrance, and fragrance near the jaw and chest is a common source of irritation.
Brands that matter
- StriVectin: Best-known neck-specific line.
- Olay: Face creams that work on the neck too.
What to avoid
- Expecting topical creams to lift sagging skin
- Applying full-strength face retinoids to the neck right away
Questions
Do I need a separate neck cream?
Not necessarily; extending your face moisturizer, retinoid and sunscreen down to the neck and chest works for most people.
