5 Facial Plastic Surgeons Share Their Favorite Neck Creams

As many skin care and facial experts will often remind you, “don’t forget the neck!” Keep moving south when applying your skin care with targeted formulas that address signs of aging under the chin. Here, top facial plastic surgeons share which neck creams they recommend to their patients, or better yet, use themselves.

1 / 5

“Our favorite at-home skin care product to improve the appearance of the neck is Alastin’s Restorative Neck Complex ($123). This product is amazing for aging neck skin because it includes TriHex technology, which helps produce more healthy elastin and collagen. Having healthy structural proteins reduces the appearance of crepey skin on the neck. Although it’s corrective, it’s also extremely hydrating and gentle, so our patients don’t experience breakouts or irritation. We think it’s a must-have!”

—Palo Alto, CA facial plastic surgeon David M. Lieberman, MD

“Skinceuticals Tripeptide-R Neck Repair ($135) is a great daily-use retinol designed for that thinner neck skin. Retinol is a crucial element of every skin-care routine, as it speeds cellular turnover, the skin’s process for producing and revealing newer, healthier, and more youthful-looking skin. Retinol can be irritating and hard to adjust to at the levels required to see visible skin improvement. But this formula is gentle, safe and effective. It requires little-to-no adjustment period and our patients, especially those with sensitive skin, love it!”

—Palo Alto, CA facial plastic surgeon Sachin Parikh, MD

“I have loved Revision Nectifirm as my favorite neck cream for many years. In combination with the face products I apply to my neck, the Nectifirm, when applied liberally twice daily, keeps my neck skin youthful looking at the mature age of 58. My second favorite is Revision Nectifirm Advanced ($148) which is similar to the original Nectifirm but a bit less emollient. The peptide blend in these two neck creams seems to be the magic formulation for neck skin rejuvenation.”

—Scottsdale, AZ facial plastic surgeon Kelly V. Bomer, MD

“I developed FormRX’s Neck Define Cream ($117), which contains a uniquely blended peptide enhanced cellular regeneration without irritation, resulting in a more toned and defined contour of the neck area.”

—Salt Lake City, UT facial plastic surgeon P. Daniel Ward, MD

“Optimizing moisture and hydration to the neck skin is also important, as dry skin shrivels up skin cells, which can translate to seeing more fine lines and wrinkles. Treat your neck as an extension of your face, extending your routine down. I recommend Alphascience Surface CR ($105) for fine lines and wrinkles, and loss of firmness.”

—Palm Beach, FL facial plastic surgeon Jaimie DeRosa, MD
