Product Details

New look & name, same proven formula. Our Retinol Neck Cream is now the Retinol + Multi-Peptide Firming Neck Cream. We've given it a more modern, clinical design and a name that better reflects its targeted retinol and peptide formulation.

Your neck has specific needs that a typical facial cream can't address. 

Retinol + Multi-Peptide Firming Neck Cream was developed for the delicate neck area, where skin is thinner, contains fewer natural lipids and is prone to dryness, crepey texture and visible lines.

Precision-formulated with 0.1% retinol, niacinamide, peptides and hyaluronic acid, this targeted treatment visibly improves the look of texture and fine lines, while remaining gentle for the sensitive neck area.

Key Benefits

  • 0.1% delivers retinol’s benefits with minimal irritation
  • Smooths the look of lines & wrinkles
  • Helps reduce hyperpigmentation

Key ingredients

  • Retinol (0.10%)
    Retinol helps reduce dark spots, pore size, and fine lines. The .1% used in this formulation has shown excellent results in trials without irritation.

  • Hinokitiol
    Hinokitiol is Riversol’s signature antioxidant, derived from the Pacific red cedar. Riversol founder and award-winning dermatologist Dr. Jason Rivers was first introduced to its potential during his time teaching at UBC, and made it the foundation of Riversol formulas. Known for its antioxidant properties, hinokitiol helps improve skin clarity, brighten the look of dark spots and support a more even-looking complexion.

  • Niacinamide
    AKA Vitamin B3, a multitasking antioxidant working to prevent moisture loss, and smooth surface texture to brighten skin. Niacinamide has been shown in double-blind, randomized trials to be nearly as effective as prescription ingredients at reducing discoloration and age spots.

  • Vitamin C
    The Riversol vitamin C (Aminopropyl Ascorbyl Phosphate) is 10x more photostable than traditional vitamin C. This means lasting antioxidant protection to reduce the look of fine lines, wrinkles, and dark spots.

  • Tetrapeptide-21
    Visibly increases skin elasticity, reduces the look of wrinkles and improves skin texture.

  • Acetyl Dipeptide-1 Cetyl Ester
    This peptide helps prevent skin from sagging through elastin synthesis.

FAQ

 

Retinol + Multi-Peptide Firming Neck Cream FAQ

Will it help a crepey neck?

Yes. It was developed for the neck, where skin is thinner and prone to dryness, crepey texture and lines. Its 0.1% retinol, peptides, niacinamide and hyaluronic acid visibly improve the look of texture and fine lines, though no cream can tighten loose skin. Give it 12 weeks: most volunteers in our 12-week customer trial said their wrinkles had lessened.

Is it made for sensitive skin?

Yes. Developed by Dr. Rivers for sensitive skin, it's formulated without parabens and without added fragrance, including masking scents. Fragrance is one of the most common causes of skin irritation. Its 0.1% retinol smooths the look of neck lines, and our 4-week start-up helps your skin adjust comfortably. Your first full-product order is covered by our 30-day money-back guarantee.

Is it just for the neck?

Yes, it's made for the neck and chest. For your face, Retinol Treatment is the better fit. You can use both on the same evening, each on its own area; don't layer them on the same skin. New to both? Start with one, and add the other once you're through its 4-week start-up.

Can I use it while pregnant or breastfeeding?

We recommend avoiding it while pregnant, trying to conceive or breastfeeding, as a precaution. The proven harm comes from oral isotretinoin, a prescription medicine. Topical retinol is poorly absorbed through intact skin, and research on topical retinoids suggests harm is unlikely, but no safe level has been established, so the advice is to avoid it rather than limit it.

How do I start?

Slowly, over 4 weeks, every evening. Week 1: apply a pea-sized amount to your neck and chest for 1 hour, then wash it off and moisturize. Week 2: 2 hours. Week 3: 3 hours. From week 4, leave it on overnight. If your skin needs more time, halve the wear time and hold it for a week before stepping up.

How often should I use it, and how long does it last?

A pea-sized amount over your neck and chest, every evening once you're through the 4-week start-up, or every other evening if your skin stays dry. Using more won't work better and can cause irritation. The 50 mL pack lasts about 3 months. That's how long it takes to use up, not how long it keeps once opened.

Can I use retinol and the Glycolic Peel on the same night?

No. Use the Glycolic Peel on a non-retinol evening, up to twice a week, and go back to Retinol Treatment or the Neck Cream the next evening. Alternating this way lets you have both: the peel's exfoliation and retinol's smoothing, without asking too much of your skin in one night.

What is hinokitiol?

Hinokitiol is our signature antioxidant, found naturally in the Pacific Red Cedar and studied for decades. It's a natural antibiotic, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant with other skin-revitalizing properties, and in our formulas it helps to even skin tone, reduce the look of sun damage and correct dark spots.

Is Riversol hypoallergenic?

Our skincare products are produced and tested to the highest standards of tolerance on sensitive skin. They are hypoallergenic, fragrance-free, colorant-free and cruelty free.
