How I Tested…

I worked the neck and chest SPF lotion into my morning routine and the neck cream into my nightly one for four weeks.

Test Results…

  • TL Advanced® Tightening Neck & Chest Lotion SPF 35: The fact that this moisturizer worked to minimize my neck lines while also giving me SPF coverage was a game changer — it made it so much easier to stay consistent (and avoid a sunburn). Another win? It layered on with makeup perfectly so my skin felt light and comfortable throughout the entire day. ($75)

  • TL Advanced® Tightening Neck Cream PLUS: It was almost too easy to add this to my nightly routine. I was surprised by how non-sticky it was after application and it absorbed extremely well. I even woke up in the morning with my neck feeling soft and moisturized. ($99)

  • After using each for just four weeks, the middle horizontal lines on my neck already look smoother than when I started. I know the deeper lines will take more time, but I was thrilled to see a difference in the lines I’ve had for years.

Sidenotes…

  • Don’t let the size of the bottles fool you. I was initially worried I would run out quickly (especially since some premium skincare brands give you very little), but even after being generous with my application for the full four weeks, I still have a lot left. 

  • The TL Advanced® Tightening Neck & Chest Lotion SPF 35 also works to reduce the look of discoloration on the chest, while preventing new spots and damage.

  • Another perk? The pump dispenses smoothly and consistently with no mess. I’ve struggled with pumps on other products before (like it breaks mid-pump or you have to push down insanely hard to get the teeniest bit out), but thankfully this one is effortless.
