‘Non-invasive neck lift in a stick' that shoppers call a ‘magic eraser for wrinkles'
This innovative serum-in-a-stick solution for sagging skin and wrinkles is already proving to be a hit with shoppers, with visibly smoother skin in as little as four weeks
The neck area is often one of the first to show signs of ageing, but it can also be one of the trickiest to treat. Luckily, we've come across a nifty skincare solution: a retinol-rich swipe-on stick for younger-looking skin in weeks.
Top skincare brand RoC has just launched its new Derm Correxion Retinol Firming Serum Stick into Boots, priced at £39.99. Developed in collaboration with dermatologists and plastic surgeons and enriched with RoC's trademark retinol, this handy stick is designed to be swept across the face, neck, chest and even hands to help to hydrate, smooth lines and increase skin's elasticity.
In RoC's tests, users saw smoother and hydrated skin immediately, 94% reported visibly reduced lines after one week of use, and 94% said they had visibly firmer skin after four weeks.
And it's not just the official tests and before-and-after photos that are impressive – shopper reviews on the Boots website are also praising this clever little stick:
One person called it a "magic eraser for wrinkles", writing: "I love the ROC Derm Correxion firming serum stick. It literally is like a magic eraser for wrinkles! you can put on your neck, face or hands to lessen the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. I use this every day and highly recommended!"
"I am in shock at how well this works! It goes on smooth and adsorbs well, not greasy. I'm 62 and get tons of complements on how great my skin looks since I started using it," another agreed. "Love it. Will buy again!"
A third person reported seeing results in a matter of weeks: "I am impressed with this product! Not only is application easy with the roll-on packaging, wrinkles showed definite improvement in the first two weeks of use. I use it once daily, and though it can be used morning and evening, I've kept it to once a day because I've had reactions to retinol products in the past, and there was still definite improvement to face wrinkles."
Not everyone saw such quick results though. One shopper wrote that although they "absolutely love the applicator and wish more skincare products rolled on like this" and were "happy to report I had no side effects", they "haven't really seen any drastic results yet", going on to add that "I know retinols can take some time to work so hopefully this has more of an effect as time goes on."
While we're yet to test this out ourselves, one neck serum we have tried out is the popular BOOST LAB Edelweiss Neck Firming Serum, £25, which caught our eye after Lisa Snowdon praised its effects. Our beauty editor Laura found that, while you shouldn't expect miracles, it does improve the condition of the skin on this delicate area; you can read her full review here.
