Best for Tightening Skin: NeoStrata Triple Firming Anti-Aging Neck Cream
Your neck is one of the first parts of your body to show signs of aging. This cream firms the area with unique ingredients for a trifecta of results. It helps tighten skin by boosting collagen production, exfoliates to fade dark spots, and hydrates with vitamin E and shea butter.
“It works,” one reviewer raved. “Being on Zoom calls all day long and having to see myself on camera made me notice my saggy neck. I started using this at the beginning of the year and I love it. It actually works! My neck looks drastically different.”
Best Retinol Alternative: Olehenriksen Goodnight Glow Retin-Alt Sleeping Crème
This cream is formulated with bakuchiol, a plant-based retinol alternative that delivers similar benefits to traditional retinol but is gentler on the skin, says Dr. Ilyas. It’s also concentrated with exfoliating alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) and edelweiss stem cells, ultimately helping your skin fight fine lines, wrinkles, and dark spots while improving elasticity. Plus, it uses natural shea butter, lemon, sugarcane, sandalwood, licorice root, and chamomile extracts to soften and hydrate.
“Love this night cream,” one reviewer wrote. “It gives a beautiful glow and it smells divine. So calming.”
