What Is the Best Neck Firming Cream That Really Works

You already know wearing moisturizer and SPF daily on your face is important for keeping skin healthy and youthful, but sun and environmental damage can affect other parts of your body, too — like your neck. The skin on your neck is 50% thinner than that on your face and more prone to lines and looseness. And daily habits can have an effect, too: Laxity of the neck skin is happening earlier than ever thanks to "tech neck" from looking at our phones repeatedly, says Dendy Engelman, M.D., a dermatologist in New York City.

Dr. Engelman says prevention is key and you can use products like moisturizers that help thicken and strengthen the skin against signs of aging. Seek out neck-specific treatments to help prevent and minimize signs of aging on your neck and décolleté (the say a good night cream works, too).

Good Housekeeping Institute Beauty Lab scientists evaluate neck creams and treatments both in the Lab using technical instruments and on consumer testers. In the Lab, experts used over 200 before-and-after images taken with high-resolution professional photography to measure each product's ability to improve the look of fine lines and wrinkles on the neck and lift and tighten neck skin over 12 weeks of use. Consumer testers also used the label-masked products at home for 12 weeks and rated them on factors like texture, irritation, scent, absorption, hydration effects, and look and feel of skin after use. In total, GH Beauty Lab scientists tallied 901 data points to find the winners.
