Feels Great, The Tingle Helps You Know It's Working
Overall, this is a great value for a neck firming cream with quality ingredients! No, it's not going to have the molecular weight of a higher priced version, but it does contain retinol and moisturizers, which have both been shown to have measurable anti-aging effects. So if you use it regularly, it will give you modest improvements in your skin. I really enjoy the feel of it on my neck; it tingles and has a slight minty scent. I can tell it's stimulating my skin cells to replenish by this feeling. I do think it's worth noting that the instructions on the actual container say to apply 15 minutes before sun exposure. This may be unintentionally misleading, because if you're familiar with retinol, you know that sun exposure does not mix well with it. Many retinol creams have sunscreen built in for this reason. I think they mean to wait *at least* 15 minutes before going in the sun if you use it. I use it at night time, to be certain I won't get adverse effects. The instructions could confuse some into thinking that you're supposed to use it before sun exposure, when in fact the opposite is true. So, aside from that little thing needing clarified, I think it's a great product! Enjoy! :)
