I am a devotee of neck creams. Once you reach a certain age, everyone (men too!) should use a neck cream. The neck is an area, like the backs of the hands, that really shows signs of aging, but it’s often forgotten in terms of care. If you’re still young, at least use your moisturizer on your neck. But using an anti-aging moisturizer specifically developed for the skin on the neck is best. The neck on the skin is thinner than the skin on your face, and it loses elasticity faster. It definitely can benefit from special care.
Recently, I was given the chance to try new NeoStrata Skin Active Triple Firming Neck Cream. As I’ve mentioned a number of times, I am a big fan of NeoStrata and its sister brand Exuviance. They are science-driven skincare brands from the scientists who first used glycolic acid in skincare and develop the glycolic peel.
NeoStrata Triple Firming Neck Cream
Benefits and How It Works
NeoStrata Triple Firming Neck Cream was developed to help reverse visible signs of aging in the neck and décolletage for skin that is firmer, more lifted and younger looking. One of the benefits is that the cream helps fade dark spots on the décolletage. For me, that is a biggie. I often forget to take my neck cream down to my décolletage. I sort of leave it for when I apply body cream after showering. But NeoStrata Triple Firming Neck Cream contains ingredients that help fade dark spots or discoloration on the décolletage, and that idea stays with me, and now I do remember to apply this to the skin below my neck.
So what’s so special about NeoStrata Triple Firming Neck Cream? It’s formulated with three ingredients that help build volume, plump, lift, and firm the skin with:
- Pro-Amino Acid to help enhance collagen
- NeoCitriate® to encourage new collagen
- NeoGlucosamine® to gently exfoliate skin to help reduce the appearance of uneven pigment.
Once you leave your twenties, the amount of collagen your body makes begins to decrease. By the time you get to my age, not much collagen production is happening on its own, so my collagen production needs all the encouragement it can get! And it’s the NeoGlucosamine that I’m hoping will help fade the one dark spot that I have right in the middle of my décolletage.
NeoStrata has data from clinical trials to show significantly improved neck texture, décolletage texture, and décolletage pigmentation at 8, 12, and 16 weeks based on dermatologist grading. I’ve only had the product for about two weeks so I have quite a way to go. But I intend to use up the jar!
How and What It’s Like To Use It
The neck cream comes in an airless pump bottle that helps maintain the efficacy of the product by not letting air in and by keeping germs from your fingers out. The pump doses just the right amount so that one pump covers my neck and décolletage.
The cream itself is actually the perfect consistency IMHO. I have been using a neck cream from a different brand for a very long time. That other neck cream is exceedingly thick, and though I have no trouble using it, many women find it too thick to use. NeoStrata Triple Firming Neck Cream looks thick as it comes out of the pump, but when you touch it to apply it, you instantly feel that it is neither too thick nor too thin. It goes on like a dream. It’s not sticky, it gets absorbed immediately, and it’s greaseless. And it has no scent. My skin feels so silky when I’m wearing it.
The cream is meant to be used twice a day on the neck and décolletage. I’ve been using NeoStrata Firming Neck Cream for about 3 weeks, and so far I’m very impressed with it. My neck looks and feels quite good to me. I will continue using it, and I especially hope over time it will help fade the dark spot on my décolletage as well as help keep the skin on my neck as firm as possible for my age. In terms of product aesthetics, I think you would be very happy with NeoStrata Firming Neck Cream because the formula and cream itself seem “just right”.
NeoStrata Skin Active Triple Firming Neck Cream comes in an attractive but serious-looking indigo blue bottle. It contains 2.8 oz. and is priced at $84. With one pump twice a day, I expect it to last me a looooong time. You can learn more and also purchase the product on the NeoStrata website.
Do you currently use a neck cream? Would NeoStrata Triple Firming Neck Cream suit you?

It’s hard for me to remember to use anything twice a day! I love the packaging of this. The neck creams I have are both in jars so I have to dip in. This is a better solution. What a great brand.
LOL, Marcia! I’m sure you use your moisturizer twice a day 😉 My favorite neck cream/gel are in jars too, but I must say I really prefer this pump and the consistency of the cream really is the perfect weight for just about everyone: not too thick, not too thin.
It’s always so important to care for the neck on top of the face!! Otherwise it will look so weird and uneven when the face is wrinkle free and smooth and the neck isn’t lol

You’re absolutely right, Miranda. I’ve actually been looking at women’s necks lately and you’d be amazed at how many don’t match!
My neck is so sensitive I have to be careful with neck creams.
That’s so interesting, Cindy. I don’t think I was aware that the neck, in particular, can be sensitive, but why not. Hopefully, you’ve found a neck cream or moisturizer that suits your skin.
I have not seen this product in store and my department sells NeoStrata. Do you prefer Neostrata or Strivectin neck cream better, Allison?

I love both, Shireen, but I believe that more women would prefer the consistency of the NeoStrata formula because it’s not as thick as the StriVectin cream and not as thin as the StriVectin gel. Also, I think you get more in the NeoStrata and it’s a pump
I always put moisturizer from the top of my head down to the bottom of my cleavage!

Oh yes, neck reveals our true age. We can have all the procedures to address wrinkles and sagging skin but turkey neck will soil it for us, lol!

Yes, the dreaded turkey neck. In fact, I’ve become obsessed with looking at women’s necks since I became a neck cream devotee years ago.
I am always slathering something on my neck as it gets so dry, but this does sound great for the anti-aging benefits as well.
Yes, slathering is the right thing to do! I’m hoping that in addition to firming my neck it will fade that big dark spot from sun damage on my chest. Fingers crossed!
I’m way guilty of neglecting my neck so I need to change that in this new year!

At least make sure you use your moisturizer on your neck!
Good neck cream, and high SPF sunscreens are a must for the often neglected skin of the neck and décolletage! This sounds very well worth trying, and I love that it helps to fade sun spots!

You’re so right that wearing an SPF on the neck is often forgotten, even by me! I’ve been an ardent fan of another neck cream for the past two years, but I must say that NeoStrata has done so well with this neck cream: perfect consistency for just about all women, good size jar/good value, and a pump! Definitely a great addition to my neck care team!
