Decolletage is often regarded as the least important area of your skin, so a neck cream or serum may seem like a luxury. But an excellent firming neck cream is essential, especially for women whose necks start to sag with age.
We’ve rounded up the best neck creams to help you achieve your ideal, smoother, more toned neck and decolletage. Each one in this round-up has been hand-picked by GLAMOUR’s beauty experts for its effectiveness, ingredient list, and texture.
Boots Collagen Youth Activating Serum
There are a few things that are different about the skin on your neck compared to the rest of your face, says Dr. Zeichner: Your neck has fewer oil glands, meaning it dries out faster. And it’s more sensitive to the sun and photosensitization, which can lead to dark spots and wrinkles. So the key to getting your neck and decolletage in top condition is finding a product that hydrates, strengthens, and protects your skin from the elements.

The best neck serums will have hyaluronic acids and barrier-guarding humectants, such as glycerin and jojoba oil, in their formula. They’ll also contain collagen and elastin boosters to reduce lines and wrinkles and improve your skin’s firmness.
Suitable for All Skin Types
If you want to treat your neck to some serious TLC, look no further than this super-hydrating, firming neck cream from Sanctuary Spa. It’s made with a powerful blend of ingredients, including Shea Butter and Hyaluronic Acid, plus Lavender and Frankincense oils to leave you feeling nourished and refreshed.
It’s available for PS12 or PS10 with an Advantage card, which means you can save a pretty penny on this skincare gem. Also, unlike most neck creams, this one is non-greasy and absorbs quickly into the skin without leaving a residue or build-up.
You’ll find a lot of good reviews on this one, too. One reviewer called it ‘the best discovery ever,’ while another said they were ‘looking younger than ever’ after using it regularly.

Olay’s Skin Renewal Complex is a fancy combination of multi-vitamin anti-aging hero ingredients that help boost radiance and reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and enlarged pores. It’s also packed with a super hydrating blend of hyaluronic acid and vitamin C to keep your skin hydrated throughout the day.
The Skin Care Experts Are Talking About It
As the oldest part of your body, your neck is particularly prone to aging, so it needs extra TLC. “As with the face, you want to invest in a nourishing, anti-aging neck cream that hydrates, protects, and boosts the production of new skin cells,” advises dermatologist Lesley Jones.
Her tip: Look for neck creams that have a good amount of hydration and are formulated with ingredients that can help tighten and improve the appearance of creepiness, such as mesh technology or retinol. She also recommends finding a product with antioxidants, such as hyaluronic acid and vitamin E, to support your skin’s natural renewability.
