Skin care steps
The main rule of skin care is moisturizing in the morning, nourishing in the evening.

Judging by the reviews, the Renew Neck & Decollete Firming Cream for the neck, face and décolleté shows decent results after the first use: the skin becomes soft, smooth, reminiscent of silk. And after prolonged use, the following results are visible: skin rejuvenation, return to its former tone, moisturized skin without peeling.
The composition is represented by the following components:
- elastin;
- marine collagen;
- hyaluronic acid;
- borage oil;
- soy proteins;
- lactic acid;
- herbal extracts: chamomile, cornflower, gingko biloba, seaweed.
Use the cream twice a day: morning and evening. It is not forbidden to use it as a massage product.
Mechanism of action
The neck and décolleté are delicate areas from a cosmetic point of view. Their “delicacy” is explained by two reasons – external and internal. The fact is that under the thin skin of the neck and décolleté there is a platysma - a subcutaneous muscle stretched between the lower part of the face and the collarbones. You can massage this muscle, but it is difficult to do, and any internal tension inevitably leads to changes in the structure of the skin. External factors also have a negative impact on the condition of the epidermis - it is constantly in contact with wind, sun, jewelry, clothing, resulting in dryness, allergic reactions developing, and so on.
Subcutaneous muscles of the face and neck
The neck reveals a woman’s age - if you want to always look young, take care of it from the age of 20.
Main problems of the zone:
- double chin:
- pigmentation;
- wrinkles;
- flabbiness.
For cleansing, do not use aggressive products with alcohol or alkali - it is advisable to give preference to gentle, delicate formulas. In most cases, soft milk is sufficient, but if you think that the epidermis needs deeper cleansing, use soft peels with natural or synthetic, non-harsh exfoliating particles.

Under the age of 30, there are usually no pronounced age-related changes in the neck and décolleté area, so as the main care product it will be enough to use a regular face cream or body milk, but if you want to achieve maximum results, look for special products.
Creams for the neck and décolleté usually indicate that they are intended for the age category 35+. So it is, but if you want to delay the time as much as possible, you have poor heredity in this regard, you can start using active formulas much earlier.

Types of creams
If your favorite brand does not produce special products for skin or décolleté care, buy any lifting cream. The main thing is that it has a light texture - this is much easier to apply along massage lines without stretching.
"Natura Siberika"
A cosmetic product based on herbal extracts “Natura Siberica” is suitable for young women aged 25 to 35 years. The cream attracts primarily with its natural composition:
- Melissa;
- spiraea;
- velvet;
- snowy cladonia;
- glycerol;
- soy protein;
- Palm oil;
- flavored composition.
A special role is given to snowy cladonia, because its “veins” contain substances that are not found in other plants. Their action is aimed at returning the skin to its former tone, strengthening its cellular structure, moisturizing and nourishing. The coenzyme Q10 included in the complex with vitamin C renews the “vitality” of skin cells and prolongs their life. The SPF 15 complex prevents the appearance of age spots.
You need to use the cream every day: in the morning and in the evening.
According to reviews, the cream is effective even for women aged 50+. It smooths out wrinkles of varying depths, makes the neck skin softer and smoother, and removes age spots. Many people appreciated the soft and light texture of the product, thanks to which the substance is absorbed into the skin in a few seconds, leaving no traces or sticky film.
How to use it correctly
The cream is applied to the décolleté area in a circular motion with slight tightening; in the neck area the product is distributed from bottom to top. Movements should be careful, not abrupt, massaging. They form the basis of daily care for delicate areas and do not stretch them. Apply the cream to your neck and décolleté only after cleansing - this can be a morning or evening shower, removing impurities using cosmetic milk and a cotton pad. There is no point in using too much product - it should be absorbed, saturate the skin with moisture and nutrients, and not leave a sticky, greasy film.
Massage areas of the neck and décolleté
If after applying the cream you experience discomfort, redness, or itching, the product is not suitable for you.

Cosmetics from a Russian manufacturer are well suited for application under makeup, as well as for night care. With regular use, the result is visible after a week, especially in women aged 35+.
This neck and face cream contains the following components:
- Collagen is a protein designed to restore skin elasticity and eliminate fine age wrinkles. Fibrillar protein is responsible for nourishing and moisturizing the skin; in addition, it creates an invisible barrier film that allows moisture into the cells but prevents it from evaporating from them.
- Elastin is a protein that enhances the restoration of all layers of the dermis, increases elasticity and regulates the functions of the sebaceous glands. The complex of elastin and collagen removes existing wrinkles and sagging facial contours much more intensively.
- Matrikines are collagen derivatives that act on deeper layers of the dermis than collagen itself. Matrikines cope with areas of the skin “disturbed” by wrinkles.
- Tocopherol (vitamin E). A component responsible for saturating the skin with oxygen, increasing blood flow and regenerating old cells.
- Camelina oil has a soothing effect on areas with inflammation and irritation, evens out skin tone, and improves regeneration.
- Rice oil moisturizes and nourishes the skin of the neck, décolleté and face, which is actively undergoing age-related changes. Therefore, rice oil fights wrinkles, sagging and sagging skin.
- Glycerol. This substance collects and retains moisture from the surrounding atmosphere and transfers it to all layers of the dermis: deep and superficial.
Using Librederm cream is not difficult: apply a small amount of cream to previously cleansed skin of the neck, décolleté and face, gently rubbing it into the skin. The product is easily absorbed.
