recommend me a cream for my turkey neck

The skin on my neck has suddenly deteriorated. It's sort of loose and crepey...I'm 43. I've never smoked, don't drink much, keep out of the sun (not hard in February...) but I'm suddenly noticing this weird turkey neck. My facial skin is not too bad - I'm not very wrinkly but I've always had quite oily skin so perhaps that's helped. But what can I do for my neck?

The word collagen is coming to mind. Is that the answer? Where has mine gone? Can I get it introvenously? Anyone got any recommendations? Is this a supplements situation or a cream situation or a put up with it situation?

Interested in any recommendations - and I won't be judgey re price. Just tell me what works and I'll talk to the bank manager Grin

My mil raves about a cream by Lulu. Timebomb neck and decolletage cream I think it was called. Not silly expensive but very effective.

My mum (in her 50s) swears by NUDE replenishing night oil. It smells divine and sinks right in. I can actually see the difference in her neck before and after she puts it on!

There is one my Mama Mio that I've seen recommended. I think it's for décolletage/boob area, but meant to be moisturising and tightening.

I'm thinking of trying this when my current one runs out.

Currently I'm using Boots Protect and Perfect Serum on my neck and décolletage (that is the right word isn't it? I mean my upper chest areaHmm) and this seems to be helping.

Also seen one by Aldi recommended, if you want a cheaper option, I'm also going to try that when I'm next in there.

Sorry to disillusion you but NOTHING will work Sad

I was talking to a dermo/cosmetic dr and they said that no cream inthe world will fix a turkey neck.

If it's very lines you might soften the wrinkles a little but that is it.

I was asking about mine and was told that with Dermaroller AND Botox, i'd get a 50% improvement.

So save your pennies ladies.

I feared that might be the truth ameliagray. I can't go down a botox etc route - just doesn't sit right with me. Maybe a big scarf?

I'm going to try out some of those creams anyway though. Thanks for the recommendations. There might be some placebo effect

nothing will fix it but you can improve the feeling and appearance by keeping it well moisturised. My mum's neck gets tight and red if she doesn't use oil on it.
