I have acquired a really wrinkly saggy neck - I’m 45, had a lot of thyroid problems over last couple of years with big swellings and surgery last year which has aged the skin on my neck significantly.

At the moment I just use my usual moisturiser (Lancôme Génifique) but I think I need something more targeted to firming up neck skin.

Recommendations would be great! Happy to pay a higher price for something decent as it bothers me a bit as my skin on my face is pretty good so far and it’s a bit of a mismatch

Sorry to be negative but Ive tried them all
This Works
Prai
TrinnyLondon
Ageless
Strivectin

Nope nothing
It might moisturise a bit but nothing is going to change sagging, wrinkled skin other than a neck lift
I sympathise, I had thyroid issues and mines the same
I wear a scarf,summer a linen one, winter a warmer one

I’m not sure if this is quite what you have in mind, but my wrinkly neck skin responds very well to avon skin so soft, a gentle dry oil spray. I bought it for my arms and legs, but it does a great job on my neck and face, plumping out the wrinkles. I was surprised, but I’m a big fan now. No SPF. It’s not as targeted and heavy weight as you’re describing , but very effective on my skin

I like the This Works product mentioned above. They only do so much, but I do think it helps - while I save up for a neck lift, lol.

Thanks I’ll have a try with The Works and see if it makes a difference

@Mycatsfeetsmell I am a keen wearer of scarves too for this reason!

I have also had thyroid problems and surgery. I’ve tried lots of different neck serums and moisturisers including all those listed above. The best out of that bunch is probably the This Works.

But I have discovered a much cheaper option that works just as well. Good old Nivea cream. The thick one in the blue pot. I know that the formula changed a little while ago so isn’t quite the same as the stuff from years ago. But I use it every night on my neck and chest. Every other night on my face. Works just as well as moisturisers x10 the price.

Agree!

Although if you buy the german made one its still the old formula apparently
The US version is different

I have those huge tins and do whats called " slugging", sounds the same ?
Literally whack it on my face and neck in a layer overnight 😅

Ps I meant to add that I notice a difference in my neck/ jowls if I dont drink enough, so 2/3 litres of water daily
