It’s no secret that the skin on the neck is thinner and more delicate than the skin on the face. And, with many of us glued to our screens on a daily basis, our necks are undergoing more mechanical stress than ever before. This means deeper lines at an earlier age than previous generations may have experienced. However, sun damage plays a major role in how our neck skin ages as well. And just like the face, UV damage breaks down collagen and elastin, leading to wrinkles and loose, crepey skin.
But, it’s not all doom and gloom. With advancements in topical solutions and in-office treatments, we have the power to restore a youthful-looking neck. When used consistently, a good firming neck cream can make a world of difference. We recently discovered this one from goPure, the Tighten & Lift Neck Cream, and the reviews speak volumes. Here’s my honest review.
The Benefits of This Neck Cream
More than 500,000 jars of this neck cream have been sold, and customers seem more than satisfied with their results. In fact, goPure even offers a subscription model where you can opt in for a jar to be shipped to you every 30, 60 or 90 days. One reviewer says it has “changed her life,” and another says she’s tried “MANY creams over the past 15 years and this is hands-down the best cream with unbelievable results.” These are just two reviews, but the sentiments are shared among more than 2,000 customers. So, of course I had to try it.
The brand tells me it uses a proprietary firming complex that includes cupuacu butter, hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid, caffeine and Matribust. Created by French cosmetics manufacturer SILAB, Matribust is a “firming active ingredient” for the neck and décolleté. According to SILAB, it “specifically targets the modifications of the dermis and dermal-epidermal junction (DEJ) by regulating the matrisome of sagging skin. Dermal fibers are protected from fragmentation and the DEJ’s structure is revitalized.” In layman’s terms, it helps restore tone and density to the skin on the neck and décolleté.
This potent combination of ingredients helps smooth fine lines, plump the look of deep wrinkles and make loose, crepey skin appear tighter. According to the brand, some customers begin noticing an improvement in just four weeks, but “serious results” after eight weeks.
How to Use It
Apply this firming neck cream morning and night after your serums for best results. I like that it’s rich and moisturizing, but not heavy or greasy. It absorbs nicely into my skin and leaves behind a refreshing feeling. If you apply too much, use any extra cream on the backs of your hands. There is no synthetic fragrance in the formula, but it does include lavender oil and there is a very subtle botanical scent.
