The Best Neck Creams to Firm Up Sagging Skin This Winter (And Beyond)

Costing just under $150, our best overall neck cream is definitely a splurge, but it earned plenty of love from board-certified dermatologist Dr. Hadley King, M.D., and Camp.

King says the Revision Nectifirm Advanced is a great option for firming the appearance of the skin of the neck and décolletage. “It contains antioxidants, anti-aging peptides, and plant extracts to help the skin appear more firm and lifted, reduce the appearance of rough and crepey skin, and decrease the look of fine lines and wrinkles,” explains King.

Camp calls this popular cream a go-to product when looking for hydration and revitalization of the neck. "It contains peptides that can act as building blocks for proteins in the skin that help maintain skin rigidity and firmness," he says.

Plus, King appreciates that a clinical study conducted shows that 98% of participants experienced a more lifted appearance of the neck after 12 weeks of use.

Although it's our most expensive recommendation, Amazon reviewers agree it's well worth the splurge if you have the money. Some reviewers say they even noticed an immediate difference in just one day, while others love that it consistently does an excellent job at tackling dryness and wrinkles on their necks.

Greenfield loves Paula’s Choice RESIST Intensive Repair Cream because it is made with retinol to aid with cell turnover and collagen production. This rich and ultra creamy neck cream also contains peptides and antioxidants to visibly minimize signs of aging such as wrinkles and lines, plus soften rough skin. Plus, there's hyaluronic acid, which is like a moisture magnet that instantly plumps up the skin.

Not only does it deeply hydrate your neck area, but it firms the skin, which is integral for achieving a snatched jawline. One Amazon reviewer says they used this neck cream for six weeks and saw a genuine improvement with sagging skin.

Another with dry, sensitive skin adds, “Nothing really worked that well for me, then comes the new Resist Repair Cream: a miracle! This product is perfect for me. Finally, my parched skin found relief without breakouts.”

Shopping for sensitive skin can be a real bummer. Sometimes brands promise their formula won’t irritate your skin, but you deal with a reaction, and it sucks. Luckily, Greenfield is a big fan of REN Bio Retinoid Youth Cream because it contains non-irritating ingredients.

“It is a more natural product that uses plant extracts as a retinoid substitute and has clinical evidence demonstrating its ability to minimize fine lines and wrinkles,” she says.

And don’t worry: This neck cream is a total game-changer for online reviewers with sensitive skin. “I have sensitive skin, and this doesn’t irritate me at all,” says one online reviewer, who adds that the hydrating cream smells like tangerines.

We love a multipurpose skincare product, and so does Camp. He suggests slathering on this lightweight neck cream during the daytime because it contains calming niacinamide and SPF 25.

While you should still slather on a broad-spectrum sunscreen over your neck cream in the a.m., this option adds an additional layer of sun protection. It also contains a slew of antioxidants and vitamin C to brighten sun damage and guard against free radical damage.

Online reviewers, especially those with oily, combination, and acne-prone skin types, highlight the cream doesn't congest their pores or irritate their neck area.

Also, you really only need a little bit of product per use. According to one 5-star Amazon review, each bottle lasted over 6 months, and they saw a great improvement in their jowls, neck, and chest area.

Want noticeable anti-aging neck results, but can't handle harsher ingredients, such as retinol? Well, meet your new beauty BFF from bareMinerals.

"This product offers an alternative to potentially irritating retinol by including a plant-based retinol along with hyaluronic acid for improved hydration," says Camp. Protein peptides also support collagen production, so your neck looks visibly plump and smooth.

Online reviewers consider it their holy grail neck cream, with many highlighting the impressive thick consistency that absorbs into their skin with ease. It’s also fantastic for all skin types, including sensitive — we promise. “I have very sensitive skin, and pure retinol at times has been a little too abrasive on my skin, but most certainly not with this product,” says one 5-star review.

Camp also suggests slathering on this rich neck cream from Neostrata. He says the combination of neoglucosamine, neocitriate, and pro-amino acid improves the appearance of sagging skin and targets discoloration.

Hundreds of online reviewers consider this their ultimate neck cream because its non-greasy formula rubs into their skin like a dream and it's relatively easy on their wallets.

One Amazon reviewer has used this neck cream for a month and can safely say they see a genuine difference in their skin. “It’s also lightening the lines, so I’m excited to continue to use this. Highly recommend for lines on [the] neck,” says their 5-star review.

Board-certified dermatologist, Dr. Lauren Penzi, M.D., is a huge fan of this wonderful neck cream because it boasts a luxurious cream consistency that assists in collagen production to tighten and smooth fine lines. Clinical results even show that 90% of participants saw tighter, more lifted neck skin during an 8-week testing period.

Its secret is Gravitite-CF Lifting Complex to boost skin elasticity and provide a visible lift. There's also a patented form of niacin to support your skin barrier and a botanical complex to help even out any skin discolorations.

Online reviewers also agree that StriVectin's neck cream is totally worth incorporating into your skincare routine because it's fast-acting. "After a few days, I was very surprised to notice a distinct improvement in the texture of my neck and a definite reduction in lines or crepiness," says one 5-star Sephora review.

Mario Badescu is known for acne spot treatments and hydrating face mists, but the Vitamin A-D-E Neck Cream is worth incorporating into your routine, especially if you're on a budget.

Although it’s the second most affordable option, it doesn’t skimp on nourishing ingredients, like vitamins A and E. There’s also hyaluronic acid to transform your dehydrated neck into fresh, youthful-looking skin. “This is a very rich cream that does take a little time to absorb. It has gotten rid of that ‘chicken skin’ look on my aging neck and smoothed out the skin on my chest,” says one 60-something reviewer.

This neck cream also earned a coveted Conscious Beauty at Ulta seal, indicating the container is made with sustainable packaging, which is always appreciated.

King is also a huge fan of this neck cream because it contains a TriHex peptide technology to stimulate the production of new healthy collagen and elastin. She notes it even clears out old damaged collagen elastin to improve the appearance of crepey skin and fine lines, to boot.

While yes, it's another splurgeworthy pick, one Alastin reviewer is convinced it is a must-have neck cream because it significantly reduced the crepey texture of their skin within 10 weeks.

Another reviewer has used it for 5 years and has seen impressive results. "It almost completely reversed the wrinkles and smoothed out my skin, so it no longer looks like leather. I have a few fine lines remaining, but you really have to look for them. I was shocked and astounded as I thought my wrinkles were so established and deep, nothing could be done. I was WRONG! This product is truly amazing."

King’s third and final neck cream suggestion is the most affordable on our list, but the New York-based dermatologist says it’s a great option for moisturizing and delivering anti-aging benefits.

“It’s formulated with vitamin B-3 and retinol complex as well as glycerin and pro-ceramides to hydrate and support the skin barrier. Vitamin B-3 helps to even skin tone and smooth skin texture,” explains King.

Target reviewers consider it a solid option for budget shoppers. They use words and phrases such as “perfect,” “Pond’s does it again,” and “feels nice on the skin” to describe it.

“Will buy again! I was pleasantly surprised by the beautiful scent. It goes on like a light cream and melts into your skin like water,” says one 40-something Target review.
