Yesterday, City Beauty launched an innovative new product to firm up and define the skin on the neck and decolletage: Ultra-Firming Dry Oil. I use lots of oils for my face and body, but I had never thought of it for my neck. What a cool idea!
Ultra-Firming Dry Oil is exactly that: a “dry oil”. It’s lightweight, and it absorbs instantly leaving behind no greasy residue. Quite amazing.
The skin on your neck and decolletage is different from the skin on your face. It is thinner, more delicate, and it doesn’t have oil glands. Thus, it’s more fragile, it is affected by free radical damage, and can show signs of aging faster than other areas. Ultra-Firming Dry Oil was created to make skin on the neck and decolletage look visibly firmer, smoother and younger in a matter of weeks. And it was created especially for mature women in their 50s, 60s and 70s to address the following issues:
- Sagging under your chin
- Wrinkles or horizontal lines on your neck
- Crinkled, “crepey” skin on your neck or decolletage
- Loose, flabby areas
- “Turkey neck”.
City Beauty Ultra-Firming Dry Oil contains three ingredients that are new to me but are said to be the powerhouse ingredients that help this new oil work its magic:
- Spilanthes Acmella Extract, a Brazilian flower extract, that City Beauty calls “neck botox” because it relaxes fine lines and wrinkles to make skin look smoother and more supple
- Ubiquinone, a potent antioxidant that protects delicate neck skin from free radical damage and gives it the power to repair itself
- Signaling Sphingolipid, a molecule that helps firm up the appearance of the neck and decolletage.
In addition, there are about a million natural plant oils in the formula to hydrate and plump the skin.
From a 12 week, relatively small scale study of 30 women age 50-76, here are the results:
- 96% of users said the skin on their neck feels firmer, tighter, and more lifted
- 96% of users said the skin on their décolletage feels significantly firmer
- 88% of users said crepey skin on their neck & décolletage looks reduced
There are before and after photos (after either 8 or 12 weeks) on the City Beauty website that are impressive and also realistic. Although the women pictured do not achieve the look of a 20 year old, the look of the skin on their necks is less wrinkled and more taut and smooth. Check out the photos here.
City Beauty Ultra-Firming Dry Oil can be used as a serum followed by an additional neck cream or on its own. It is to be used twice a day. I apply a dropper full and pat it on my neck in an upward motion. On its own, Ultra-Firming Dry Oil is enough for my skin. Sometimes at night, I will apply neck cream on top of it after it gets absorbed to try for even faster results.
After using City Beauty Ultra-Firming Dry Oil for 6 weeks, the skin on my neck looks and feels better hydrated. I think it’s also somewhat more taut. I still have the two horizontal creases that I had before, but I think it would literally take a miracle for them to go away. I intend to continue using Ultra-Firming Dry Oil, and I will monitor any further improvements.

I think products like this are good for hydration and maybe as a preventative, but I think only lasers can really make a dent in neck wrinkles since those are always there no matter our age!

I’d love to try a dry oil. I’m using a lovely cream right now but some nights my hair gets in it. Does this have a fragrance?

I’m becoming an oil fiend, so I know I need to try this! You are responsible for my having a wish list as long as my arm! Oh – my Glam Bag X arrived today!!!!
LOL, you’re so sweet! I am going to head over to IG and see if I can find your Glam Bag X pix. Are they up yet or should I wait till tomorrow??
I haven’t taken pics yet, so wait until tomorrow. I got my second vaccine dose today and had so many other things to do. Busy me!
Take your time. I will check IG on Wednesday just in case. I hope you are feeling OK. Did u get Pfizer?
I feel fine, actually. I got the Moderna. Thanks for the kind thoughts!
I’m glad you’re fine. I woke up at 5am with a fever and terrible headache. But I didn’t know that I was supposed to drink a lot of water. Feel well!!
I’m sorry you were so miserable!
Just checking in: how are you feeling? Were/are you OK after Moderna #2?
I’m feeling just fine. No side effects at all! So yay! Thank you for caring! I posted my Glam Bag X haul and I’m honestly ecstatic!
That’s wonderful news! So glad you’re OK. I have side effects from everything. I looked quickly at IG this morning, and I’ll go and look at your page now! Have fun with everything!!
I always throw whatever is on my face as moisturizer on my neck and chest too. I haven’t tried a dry oil though – sounds like something I need to look into.

At your age (young), that’s the right thing. After 45 or so, you may want to add a neck cream since the skin on your neck is different from your face: thinner, no oil glands, etc.
This sounds like a great product for me to look into. Thanks for the review.
I feel you on the horizontal lines, haha! Mine look exactly the same and I feel like I tried everything to make them go away, to no avail.

I’ve been using the City Beauty Dry Oil too and my neck does look smoother after a few weeks use. I was wondering if it would ease my forehead wrinkles?
Hi Jennifer, thanks for your question! I haven’t used City Beauty Dry Oil on my face because I have so many other oils. But frankly, I don’t see why not. Because the skin on your neck is more delicate than on your face (except for around the eyes), it is a very lightweight oil. But I like lightweight oils for my face, too. However, I am curious, are you using retinol at night? Retinol or prescription Retin A are the most helpful when it comes to wrinkles.
