When you think about it, our faces are very lucky. We baby them and obsess over them, investing in only the best face serums, face moisturizers, and in-office treatments to keep premature signs of aging at bay. Unfortunately, our necks end up being a huge blind spot and don’t tend to get the same level of treatment.

And honestly, that’s a huge oversight on our parts—the skin in that area should actually be treated with a lot of care, since it’s especially delicate. “Your neck is composed of thinner skin, which makes it more prone to dryness,” says Dr. Margarita Lolis, a dermatologist in New Jersey. “It also has fewer oil glands and is constantly exposed to environmental damage and repetitive movements like turning or looking down at devices, leading to ‘tech neck,’” Dr. Jenny Liu, a board-certified dermatologist and an assistant professor of dermatology at the University of Minnesota Medical School, adds. “This combination accelerates collagen and elastin breakdown, resulting in sagging, fine lines, and wrinkles.” Keeping one of the best neck creams at your disposal

“Neck-firming creams are a great place to start—and they do work,” says Dr. Karan Lal, a plastic surgeon and dermatologist in Arizona. There are some rich face creams for wrinkles that can be used for the face and neck. However, if you’re in the market for something that’s specially designed for the neck area, some “turkey neck”-fighting formulas “are specifically formulated to address these concerns by including ingredients like peptides to boost collagen, retinoids to promote cell turnover, hyaluronic acid for hydration, and antioxidants to protect against free radicals,” says Dr. Liu.
