Why your neck needs more than your face cream.
The skin on your neck is thinner and has fewer oil glands than the skin on your face. Cumulative sun exposure, fewer years of dedicated care, and the simple structure of the area mean that the same face cream that worked at 40 stops working by 50.
In our survey of nearly 3,000 women, 85% wanted to smooth, tighten, or firm the look of their neck. That's where most face creams fall short — they're not formulated for the neck's needs.
We formulated this specifically for that problem:
- 0.10% retinol — deliberately gentle for the delicate neck area; enough to work without irritating
- Peptides (tetrapeptide-21 and acetyl dipeptide-1 cetyl ester) — the second one supports elastin synthesis, which helps prevent the appearance of sagging
- Hinokitiol (Beta-T) — Riversol's signature antioxidant, from the Pacific red cedar. Originally researched at UBC.
Designed for the delicate neck and chest area. Fragrance-free. Vegan. Cruelty-free. Sensitive-skin safe.

Frequently asked.
Will retinol irritate my neck skin?
The 0.10% concentration is deliberately low to minimize irritation while still working. If your skin is new to retinol, follow the included 4-week ramp protocol: 1 hour every evening Week 1, 2 hours Week 2, 3 hours Week 3, full overnight Week 4 and beyond.
How long until I see results?
Expect 4 to 8 weeks of consistent use for visible improvement. Dr. Rivers's own words: "Retinols have the ability to synthesize collagen and stimulate some elastic tissue, but the changes that you see take a long time."
Can men use this?
Yes. The product is formulated for the neck and chest — there's nothing in the formulation that's gender-specific.
Is it safe with my existing skincare?
Yes. Apply in this order: cleanse → serum → neck cream → moisturizer → SPF in the morning. Don't combine with other retinoids on the same day in the same area.
Can I get a refill?
Yes — the jar is refillable. Pinch the tabs, pull and twist to remove the old refill pod, insert a new one. (Available on riversol.com.)
What's your return policy?
30 days through Amazon. Full refund.
