So have been using tret , with good results , on my face via dermatica.
It says that you cannot use on neck as skin too delicate.

what do you do ??buffer tret on neck .. use something else ??? Thank you !!

My absolute top neck cream is Perricone md. it's pricey but it works.

Another recommendation is strivectin, they do a specific one for the neck I'm sorry I can't remember the name but Google strivectin neck and it will come up.

I wouldn't use actives like retinol or c or retinol kn your neck though as the skin is too delicate.

The perricone md is expensive and the strivectin is half the price I think. Well worth using though - I had a neck lift done because of extreme sagging after weight but loss so I'm super on it with my skincare now both face neck and décolleté areas.

I would start with a retinol twice a week on neck & dec. but make sure you’re slugging and not using other actives at the time. Also bump up the sunscreen on that area to full-power because it’s SUPER sensitive and is a rather large area of real estate that gets a lot of sun exposure. (As it’s already thinner than face area it’s more vulnerable to sun damage than face skin anyway. Just gets less exposure due to weather.)

I use it in on my neck - but I've built up tolerance with Retinol serums and do moisture firsts, let it sink in then tretin them once that sunk in Nivea blue loot then oil.

Nivea blue pot!

Tret. But I started using Tret originally on my neck to treat a genetic skin condition.

I do tret but 1-2 times a week. It can really dry your neck out so you need to be very careful to moisturise.

You can use it on your neck . I mix with moisturizer for my neck but I buy bulk amounts from Turkey 😂
