Your facial care routine may already be packed with retinoids and peptides to fend off lines and wrinkles, but chances are, you may be forgetting about your neck. The skin below your chin happens to be one of the first places to show signs of aging, yet many of us ignore the area when we’re applying our nightly serums. But with the help of Perricone MD’s Cold Plasma+ Neck and Chest Cream ($89) you’ll be tempted to reconsider.

The moisturizer is packed with skin-firming ingredients designed specifically to be used on those oft-ignored areas —and it’s got the dermatologist stamp of approval for its efficacy. “Its most powerful ingredients are peptides, alpha-lipoic acid, vitamin B3, and vitamin C ester,” says Caroline Robinson, MD, a board-certified dermatologist based in Chicago. “These ingredients work together to address many of the signs of skin aging including laxity, discoloration, and lines. All four ingredients work to visibly improve the thickness and firmness of the skin by supporting rejuvenation of collagen that has been damaged and lost over time.”

While the ingredients are great for firming skin on their own, what really makes this formula special is the “liquid crystal delivery system” it uses to transport them into your skin. ” This system allows different key ingredients in high concentrations to be suspended within the formulas all at the same time,” says Dr. Robinson. “It allows the product to penetrate the skin quicker and more deeply, which means that one single product can effectively treat multiple skin concerns at once.”
The cream works on all skin types, and since it doesn’t contain retinol (the way many skin-firming products do), it won’t irritate sensitive skin. In addition to working to address crepeiness and wrinkles on the neck and chest, it also helps to prevent and correct discoloration and dark spots in the area, says Dr. Robinson. And the best part? Thanks to the sale that’s currently running on Skinstore.com, you can now score a jar of your own for 20 percent off for new customers. It’s never too early to start an anti-aging routine, and consider this your gateway into bringing skin-firming ingredients to the oh-so-important areas south of your face.
