The 19 Best Neck Firming Creams, According to Editors, Experts and Shoppers

• Why We Love It: Ideal for hyperpigmentation, cruelty-free, contains hyaluronic acid and niacinamide

Introducing: the end all be all of neck firming creams. This product gets rave reviews from shoppers. "I tried this neck cream on a whim and found that I love it! It's great on my sensitive skin and I'm able to use it morning and night without any issues. I can definitely tell a difference with the fine lines," says one reviewer.

We have to give all the credit to the formula, which includes four main ingredients: niacinamide (to strengthen the skin’s barrier and supercharge the other ingredients), peptides (to plump skin and address fine lines and wrinkles), ceramides (which can help replenish and restore skin and improve its texture) and hyaluronic acid (aka a potent hydrating ingredient that holds 1,000 times its weight in water). After just a few uses of this cream, the brand claims you notice a visibly tighter, lifted and smoother appearance.

• Why We Love It: Oil-free formula, great for mature skin, dermatologist-approved

While it is a major concern, neck issues don’t just stem from staring down at our phones all day long. Environmental aggressors from the sun and pollution can also accelerate aging of the skin. This firming cream helps to reverse the damage on the neck and décolleté with amino acids that stimulate collagen production as well as diminish the appearance of uneven tone. How well does it work? One buyer says, "I’ve used this for years and it really does firm your neck. I love it. It smells lovely and I look forward to my nighttime routine when using this one."

• Why We Love It: Mild scent, contains plant-based ingredients, creamy texture

If you have a nut allergy, finding natural beauty products can be a bit tricky since everything seems to be made from some form of coconut. But we’re happy to report that this one is totally nut-free. Instead, you’ll find ingredients like hibiscus to increase elasticity and plump the skin, edelweiss to tighten and smooth the appearance of skin and hyaluronic acid to deeply hydrate.

The brand states it's "a miracle worker for your neck and decolletage area" and one shopper agrees, "It goes on rich and smooth and really does what it claims. I'm one of those people who has no wrinkles or fine lines on the face, but [I've had] neck wrinkles since [I was] a teenager. After only a week of use, my neck became softer and my lines gradually faded. It was not like a "fake lift," where you have no lines whatsoever, but a soft younger look, which I love [it]. [I] will definitely continue using it!"

• Why We Love It: Helps fine lines and wrinkles, contains glycolic acid, can be used morning and night

We slather on collagen products to up elasticity on our faces, but why don’t we do the same to the rest of our skin? We no longer have an excuse with this tightening cream, which is made to tone the thicker parts of our necks (that are more prone to premature sagging, FYI). You'll find antioxidants and glycolic acid, which have been proven to boost collagen, improve texture and enhance elasticity. And if you're wondering if the results are visible, ponder no more. A loyal user assures, "I noticed a change after just using one jar—I don't think that has ever happened."

• Why We Love It: Dermatologist-approved, helps exfoliate the skin, paraben-free

This cream aims to improve the appearance of the neck and décolleté by firming up lax skin, while fading dark spots and hyperpigmentation from spending one too many days in the sun. Featuring botanicals (like hyaluronic acid), mixed fruit extracts (like sugarcane, orange and lemon) and antioxidants, the cream is also paraben-free and dermatologist approved. One reviewer even dubbed it her "daily need" so you know it lives up to the hype.

• Why We Love It: Includes clean ingredients, uses sustainable packaging

Gwyneth Paltrow is this brand’s creative director of makeup, so you know its products pass the clean test. This product, in particular, is formulated with a blend of fruit stem cells and botanical extracts (including squalane, rose hip and borage seed oil) to fade fine lines and wrinkles by improving skin’s elasticity. Plus, the addition of peptides and algae helps to reduce the depth of crease lines from staring at our screens all day.

One buyer shares, "I can see and feel the difference when I apply this product to my neck. I've only been using this lotion for a short period of time but I think I'm hooked. It's lightweight and smooths the lines, even a scar on my neck looks diminished."

• Why We Love It: Ideal for dry, combination or normal skin, features glycolic acid, silicone-free

The brand promises that slathering on this cream can help restore firmness and soften skin. The cream uses glycolic acid to smooth and even skin texture. It also contains amino acids and calcium to make your skin look and feel stronger. And let's not forget the formula has sorghum juice that targets cell structures and helps to lifts sagging skin over time. "About a month ago, [my] skin started to lose firmness. This cream has been amazing [and has proven that] in just a short time, [there's been] a clear and positive improvement," shares one consumer.

• Why We Love It: Good for loss of firmness, sweet scent, rich texture

IT Cosmetics dubs this cream "shapewear for your neck," and based on that statement alone, we’re sold. This product has been clinically tested to reduce the look of those deep-set horizontal necklines we thought we had to live with until now. It's recommended that you use it morning and night, so the fast-absorbing formula will get to work improving firmness, smoothness and elasticity. As one reviewer shares, "In a couple of days, it has made a surprisingly visible difference in the appearance of the creases at the bottom of my neck and the top of my chest. A little goes a long way, so this container will last me for several months."

• Why We Love It: Velvety texture, contains plant-based ingredients

Sometimes all it takes to start a morning off on the right foot is a French skin cream so luxurious that we feel like we’re in Paris (just let us have this). That’s where Sisley’s neck cream comes into play. Made specifically to treat the delicate skin below our jaw, it creates an immediate tightening effect by adhering an invisible elastic film onto the surface of the skin.

To achieve this, it's infused with soy fiber extract to fight the loss of firmness and improve skin tone, as well as a decadent amount of shea butter and sunflower oil, which leaves skin super hydrated, nourished and softer than ever before. Yes, the price tag is steep, but this longtime fan of the cream might sway your decision. "I've been using this neck cream since 1995 and I have amazing results—no lines on my neck. I use it morning and night and I highly recommend this for women of any age," notes one reviewer.

• Why We Love It: Fragrance-free, vegan formula, great for all skin types

Here's a sign to add a new product to your daily routine. This one by Dermelect targets early signs of neck aging with a rich formula that features agefinity, an active that aims to smooth wrinkles and boost collagen production. The cream also has a nourishing blend of squalene, avocado oil and green tea extract, which moisturizes, firms and protects the delicate area.

The brand points out that daily use can improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles caused by tech neck without leaving the skin too greasy or irritating for those with sensitive skin. As one shopper shares, "I usually use my face products down my neck with good results. But recently my jawline and décolletage have lost elasticity and some “tech lines” are creeping in on my neck," she explains. "It's so smooth and comforting to apply that I look forward to it every A.M. and P.M. even when I'm too pressed or too tired for other regimens. It leaves my skin looking like silk and I definitely have noticed a firmer, smoother area with consistent use of one tube."

• Why We Love It: Editor-approved, simple pump application, filled with antioxidants and peptides

Yes, we want our neck creams to firm our skin, but you also don't want to neglect any dryness or redness. This restorative product aims to minimize discoloration while nourishing the neck, chin and chest. The rich formula has antioxidants, peptides and flax seed extract to produce healthy collagen and restore moisture.

But if you need a rave review to push you to make the purchase, one PureWow editor is already a big fan after a few uses: "I've been using this one for the past few weeks and I'm loving it! I think it's a smidge too early to see the full effects, but it's super hydrating and emollient. I also just love the ritual of putting on a neck cream in general. Taking the extra step to apply a specific product just to my neck (in an upward motion, of course...boo gravity) reminds me that a good skincare routine expands well beyond the face."

• Why We Love It: Clean ingredients, instant results, safe for sensitive skin

If you're dealing with a serious case of tech-neck or early signs of aging, this Nécessaire's pick features five peptides to support your skin's collagen production. The formula also has niacinamide and rosewater to soothe, firm and nourish the neck. One PureWow editor states, "It's extremely hydrating and nourishing for my neck. I have sensitive skin, and this formula is smooth and gentle without leaving my neck irritated."

• Why We Love It: Dermatologist-approved, light cucumber scent, gentle formula

If you're looking for a budget-friendly option, this derm-approved cream has a list of benefits that improve firmness and elasticity. "This neck cream is best for those who are starting to notice fine lines forming on their necks or those who are looking to focus on prevention," explains Dr. Libby. The key ingredient, copper peptides, helps even out your skin and firm the area. The brand recommended using it twice a day to see results within 28 days.

• Why We Love It: Contains SPF 30, can be applied on neck, face and chest, oil-free

"Ultraviolet radiation from the sun’s rays is the primary culprit for increasing signs of aging because it damages collagen and causes skin discoloration and sun spots," says Dr. Libby. "Protecting the skin from the damaging effects of the sun’s UV rays is one of the mainstays to treating neck skin and this cream by RoC also has HEXINOL Technology, vitamin E and shea butter to moisturize the neck's skin."

• Why We Love It: Dermatologist pick, great for mature skin, absorbs easily

Dealing with aging, crepey or rough skin (or all the above)? This neck firming cream is ready to tackle all your neck and décolletage concerns and then some. The formula contains eight peptides that help to minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The formula also has botanical extracts (like lingonberry, red microalgae and everlasting flower) to enhance the antioxidants in your skin.

"This is a great option for those with signs of moderate to advanced aging on the neck, as it combines technology to utilize the microbiome, as well as a peptide blend called Smart Antioxidant Technology, and red microalgae extract to help the skin appear more firm and lifted, while smoothing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles," explains Dr. Garshick.

• Why We Love It: Dual product, features retinol, has 1,500+ 5-star reviews on Amazon

If you're not keen on crowding your beauty cabinet with yet another skincare product, we may have found a solution. This serum targets both the face and neck. The formula, which has hyaluronic acid, hibiscus peptides and retinol, works to firm, brighten and lift the skin. "This face and neck serum include a combination of wrinkle-fighting, firming and brightening complexes to help improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and improve the overall texture of the skin. Not only does it moisturize, but it also firms the skin as well, targeting the key signs of aging," says Dr. Garshick.

• Why We Love It: Dermatologist-approved, fragrance-free, award-winning neck firming cream

Not only does this cream get a stamp of approval from a derm, but it also won countless awards in the beauty space—from Shape to Women's Health and Oprah Magazine in 2022. Why? Well, it all has to do with the brand's NOw complex that aims to use our bodies' natural nitric oxide to improve the appearance of our neck and décolleté. It's packed with ingredients like peptides, fruit extracts (aka watermelon, lentil and apple), niacinamide, squalane and so much more. This blend also helps to support collagen production, hydrate the skin and reduce dark spots.

Dr. Robinson adds, "This formulation addresses all the key signs of aging including skin laxity, texture and tone, pigmentation, fine lines and hydration. This product is full of all the good stuff and one of the things I like most about this product is that it’s great for all skin types—even sensitive ones." 

• We Love It: Ideal for hyperpigmentation, safe for all skin types, contains green tea and vitamin C

With over 2,100 5-star reviews, this neck cream from Yeouth is worth noting. The product promises to target fine lines, wrinkles and dark spots. Formulated with green tea extract, opeline and vitamin C, the blend focuses on tightening the skin and brightening up age spots and blemishes. Plus, the creamy texture provides intense hydration and soft skin all day.

"I'm in my 60s, but I have never used a cream specifically for my neck before. I'm seeing improvement in the contour of my jaw/chin area. I have been using this twice a day following instructions," says one shopper. "I have seen improvement, where the jaw begins to sag. I'm now able to feel space in that area, it has been lifted and sags less. I'm very happy with the improvements with one jar, so I will be buying more!!!"

• Why We Love It: Rich texture, clean ingredients, hydrating

This nourishing cream is a triple threat. It works to hydrate, smooth and tighten your neck and décolletage. The creamy texture features natural botanicals, vitamin C and hadasei-3 (which is a complex blend of rice, green tea and algae). This blend reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles; it also restores radiance and helps with cell turnover.

According to the brand, you can start to see improvement in your skin after four weeks of consistent use. One reviewer put that statement to the test and hasn't looked back. "I’ve been using the neck cream for a couple of years. It’s helped to improve the skin on my neck. It’s smoothed out the wrinkles and my skin is very soft. It’s better than anything other neck creams I’ve tried," they add.
