Obagi Medical - ELASTIderm Neck and Décolleté Concentrate

A concentrated treatment for the neck and décolleté, the two zones where your skincare usually stops and your age is first revealed.

Why it works

The skin on your neck and décolleté is thinner than that on your face, has fewer sebaceous glands, and has been exposed to the sun for years without protection. As a result, you see three things converge there: horizontal creases, a crinkled texture, and pigment spots. This concentrate addresses all three simultaneously. The combination of zinc, copper, and malonate supports the production of elastin, the tissue that makes your skin bounce back. Retinyl palmitate, a gentle form of vitamin A, accelerates cell renewal so the texture looks smoother. Alpha-arbutin and niacinamide work on uneven skin tone and spots.

The texture is fluid and glides on lightly. You apply it with a rollerball integrated into the tube, which is more pleasant to use on the neck than your fingers.

For whom

For those who see horizontal lines on the neck, have a crinkled décolleté, or have pigment spots on the chest. Even if your face is still looking good: the neck and décolleté often lag years behind the rest, precisely because they rarely receive care.

Do not use during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. Retinoids are not recommended during that period, even in this gentle form.

How to use it

Morning and evening. Tilt your chin up slightly and roll from your décolleté upwards towards your jawline, against gravity. Then massage in with your fingers. Include the sides of your neck, up to behind your ears.

Because it contains a retinoid, daily sun protection with a high SPF is not just a detail but a prerequisite. Also on the neck and décolleté, even in winter, even on a cloudy day. Without it, you are working against yourself, especially regarding pigment spots.

What I’d like to share with you

Of all the zones I discuss with clients, this is the one that requires the most patience. Count on about two to three months of daily use before you see the difference in the mirror, and expect a softening of the lines, not their removal. The skin there is simply thin, and the damage has been built up over decades.

What helps: don't put the tube in your bathroom cabinet, but next to your face cream, so you literally have it in your hand when you do your routine. Almost everyone who stops using this doesn't stop because it doesn't work, but because they forget their neck. And take a look at your sleeping position: if you always sleep on the same side, you often see those creases on only one side.

Are you unsure if this is for you, or how to combine it with the rest of your routine? Feel free to send me a message, and we can look at it together.
