What Do Neck Creams Do Exactly, And Do You Really Need To Use Them?

How much of your current skincare routine involves the neck?

August 4, 2020
Neck cream

Though essence, moisturisers, serums, and masks have made their benefits known over the face, our necks often get neglected as far as skincare routines go. Given that they’re exposed to the same amount of sun damage and environmental aggressors as our face, this might be a missed opportunity to care for them. Just think, how much time do you spend looking down at your phone every day? That’s how long the skin on your neck is being stretched and tugged at. Then factor in how often do you actually apply any skincare – sunscreen included – onto this portion of your body and you get a rough idea how much your neck goes through.

This explains why there is a need for neck creams because they are basically designed to repair and protect skin that has been neglected for years. They go beyond hydration and deeply replenish skin with powerful lifting and firming ingredients. And since sebum glands are less active on the neck and decolletage area, neck creams tend to be richer to really nourish dry and damaged skin. If you’re guilty of excessive sun exposure, you’ll also be glad to know that many neck creams are formulated with brightening ingredients like vitamin C to reduce the visible signs of photo-damage. Some of them even contain soft-focus pigments to soften the appearance of fine lines upon application for an instant fix, or anti-ageing benefits to prevent further damage.

There are specially formulated neck creams that deliver anti-ageing, brightening, and firming benefits, but you can just as easily use a power-packed face cream that delivers the same benefits. The easiest change you can make is to start incorporating your neck into your daily skincare routine. We put together a list of seven neck creams and face creams (that work just as well for the neck) to try:

#1 Clarins Extra-Firming Neck & Décolleté, $145 (75 ml)

Formulated just for the neck and décolleté, this anti-ageing cream works to minimise wrinkles, skin slackening, and age-related dark spots. Enriched with a duo of kangaroo flower and organic Mitracarpus plant extracts, the two help lift and sculpt and refine any lines. The organic oat sugars plant extracts help lend an instant lift effect by tightening the skin, while the shea oil hydrates and nourishes it. This neck cream comes with an easy to use twist-to-open nozzle tip that evenly dispenses the cream so you can massage it into the skin.

This gel-cream mask works on the face and neck and is best applied overnight. This luxurious formula uses a potent blend of ingredients like Anogeissus, Commiphora, red algae, and sweet almond extract to help plump the skin while you sleep. The mask quickly absorbs into the skin and helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles for a more lifted complexion. Just massage a generous amount onto the face and neck in an upwards motion before bedtime.

This anti-ageing cream is designed specifically to target the neck and decollete area for its added firming and exfoliating benefits. Formulated in three parts, this cream tightens the skin and addresses concerns about sagging skin in the neck while stimulating the production rate of collagen in the deeper layers of the skin, and reduce the discolouration of age-related dark spots. Enhanced with Apple Stem Cell Extract, this ingredient helps maintain the cells and leaves the skin looking younger and tighter. Apply this cream onto the neck and jawline twice a day and gently massage it into the skin with an upwards motion.

For the face and the neck, this power-packed serum helps to return the skin to its most youthful state. Formulated with resveratrol that lifts and firms the skin, Viniferine that brightens, and grape seed polyphenols that protect the delicate skin against environmental aggressors – these ingredients help reinforce the serum’s anti-ageing benefits. Silky and weightless, this serum glides over the skin and lends a boost of hydration to keep it nourished.
