PLUMP-KIN Retinol Neck Cream

product review positives
I know some of you may think neck creams are a gimmick, and while I initially believed that too, I regret not taking care of my neck sooner. I now use one diligently, and it’s made a big difference—I even have a favorite brand I stick to. But that doesn’t stop me from trying new ones and possibly finding new favorites! A Bit of Background on Tony Moly Plump-kin Retinol Neck Cream: - A neck cream with a cooling roller application - Contains 50 mL / 1.69 fl. oz. - Purpose: To reduce the appearance of fine lines on the neck The first thing that stood out to me was the roller attachment (my favorite feature in neck creams!). After weighing the pros and cons and testing it, I’d rate this a 3/5 for the following reasons: 🎃 This neck cream has a fall/holiday vibe, and I love it. The bold orange shade is eye-catching and unique, even though it’s a color I wouldn’t usually gravitate toward. While aesthetics are fun, I’d like to focus more on its functional aspects. 🎃 Although it’s labeled as a retinol-based neck cream, there’s a higher concentration of moisturizing agents than retinol here. It contains 2.2 ppb retinol (parts per billion), translating to a mere 0.00000022%. For comparison, a good standard retinol product typically has 0.5%-1%. 🎃 I believe the brand is relying on pumpkin seed extract to support the retinol claim, as pumpkin contains a notable amount of Vitamin A (retinol’s origin compound). However, this extract appears near the lower middle of the ingredients list, so it’s not delivering the retinol benefits as advertised. 🎃 Despite the minimal retinol content, the cream can still improve neck lines due to its moisturizing ingredients, like glycerin, niacinamide, panthenol, and hydrolyzed collagen. 🎃 There are potential allergens in this formula, so check if it’s suitable for you. A few that stand out are: - Limonene - Linalool - Mandarin/Bergamot/Orange Peel Oil Overall, I’d rate this a 3/5. I dislike when a product is marketed around an ingredient that doesn’t make up a substantial portion of the formula. The retinol content here is negligible, so calling it a retinol neck cream feels unjustified. #pickyreview #gopicky #pickyxtonymoly #tonymoly
product review negatives
I don’t think a brand should market a product around an ingredient present in such low concentrations—especially retinol in this case. It’s a bit misleading to advertise this as a retinol neck cream when it contains only 2.2 ppb (0.00000022%) of retinol. It’s a decent moisturizing neck cream, but that’s mostly due to the other hydrating ingredients.
