I actually don’t believe neck creams do much - or so I used to think. I believe the creams I used from the American market didn’t work well enough for me. Which precisely makes a better reason to why I prefer Asian based skincare over Western skin care. This neck cream wasn’t the magic potion, but it did work way better than I expected. I have used it for a week, and as someone who’s in her mid to late twenties, I decided it was time to get into neck care. The C-K-D Retino Collagen Guasha Neck Cream performed better in most ways for me, which is why I rate it a 4.8/5 stars. Let’s get into some of the pros: 🎀 This contains retinal. If you know the difference between retinol and retinal, you know retinal is by far superior. It is the more potent form of retinol. I will say though, you need to make sure your neck is wet when using this so it can work at the max efficiency level. 🎀 The scent of this is lemongrass. I LOVE citrusy smells so this was a win in the fragrance area for me. 🎀 The application was watery and light. It had a slight stickiness that went away in a few minutes after applying it on my neck. 🎀It contributes to a smoother neck after a few weeks of use, which is pretty fast.

I used to use sheet masks until I believe they weren’t effective enough for me. While I still hold onto that belief for the most part, the fact this mask is jelly based sheet mask somewhat changes that opinion for me. I want to dive into the pros of why I like this mask in particular: 🎀 This mask is so jelly I was worried it’d fall off my face once applied. I could not have been more wrong! Somehow, the mask functions in such a way it becomes a magnet for your face. I also like that there are two separate sections so you can work on each part to throughly and properly stick onto your face. 🎀 This has no fragrance, or I just didn’t smell any. It smelled like hydration and skincare if anything. I knew from the smell that this was made entirely of good ingredients. 🎀 I like that you need to wear this for 30 minutes. Not the generic 10-15 minutes. This felt like a luxurious spa mask. 🎀 There are three main ingredients that caught my eye: - Collagen extract: this works to minimize enlarged pores - Pure collagen: this works to revitalize skin elasticity - Retinal: (which is better than retinol) works with combatting fine lines and wrinkles - Panthenol: this works to lock in moisture 🎀 When I first used it, in the first minute I felt a small stinging sensation that quickly went away after. I did not experience any side effects or redness. In fact, I saw glowy skin as a result. 🎀 Overall, I rate this a 4.2/5. The reasons for it not being a full 5 is because I still don’t see much of a function with sheet masks, but I do believe that this works better than most masks I’ve tried so far.
