We often devote a great deal of attention to facial skincare: cleanser, lotion, serum, cream, SPF. Yet there is one area that is often overlooked — the neck and décolletage.
This area is often one of the first to show changes in skin quality: dryness, loss of elasticity, fine lines, uneven texture, thinning skin, or a generally “tired” appearance. This is not because the skin on the neck simply “ages faster” for no reason. Rather, it is constantly moving, exposed to environmental factors, often receives less care than the face, and is frequently treated only with whatever product is “left on the hands” after applying face cream.
Professional skincare takes a different approach: the neck and décolletage are not an extension of facial skincare. They are a separate area that requires a targeted, consistent, and comfortable product.
This is exactly why Forlle’d Neck and Décolleté Cream was created — a cream designed for the daily care of this delicate and often overlooked area.
Why might a regular face cream not be enough?
The skin on the neck and décolletage experiences a great deal of mechanical movement every day. We turn our heads, look down at our phones, sleep on our sides, and wear clothing, jewellery, and scarves. This area is constantly moving, rubbing, stretching, and coming into contact with the environment.
That is why it needs more than hydration alone. It also requires comfort, support for elasticity, softness, and consistent daily care.
A regular face cream can certainly be beneficial, but it may not always meet the specific needs of the neck and décolletage. Some face creams may be too lightweight, others too active, while some are simply not applied in sufficient quantities to cover this larger area.
A neck and décolletage cream should also feel pleasant enough to use every day. It should not feel sticky, take too long to absorb, or leave an uncomfortable film on the skin, as this area frequently comes into contact with clothing. Texture therefore becomes especially important.
What did the Forlle’d neck and décolletage care evaluation show?
In a before-and-after evaluation conducted by Forlle’d, a neck and décolletage skincare routine using two products — a neck and décolletage serum and cream — was assessed. The aim was to monitor changes in skin hydration and elasticity following consistent use of the products. The study involved 13 women aged between 40 and 66 and was carried out from August 28 to September 24, 2025.
It is important to note that the results shown in the before-and-after photographs and instrumental measurements were achieved using the serum and cream together, so they cannot be attributed to the cream alone. As BEŽA currently carries the cream, this article focuses specifically on Forlle’d Neck and Décolleté Cream as an at-home skincare product for the neck and décolletage.
According to the Forlle’d protocol, the cream was applied morning and evening, after cleansing and serum, from the jawline down to the upper third of the décolletage. One gram of cream was used per application, and the products were used consistently for one month.
This protocol highlights one important point very clearly: neck and décolletage care should not be an occasional afterthought, but part of a consistent skincare routine.
Cream texture: rich, yet non-greasy
Texture is particularly important in a product designed for the neck and décolletage. Because this area frequently comes into contact with clothing, a cream that is too greasy or sticky can feel uncomfortable. On the other hand, a formula that is too lightweight may not provide enough comfort for mature or dryness-prone skin.
In the study materials, Forlle’d Neck and Décolleté Cream is described as having a rich yet non-greasy texture, spreading comfortably over the skin and absorbing well.
This balance is particularly important: the cream should leave the skin feeling nourished and soft while remaining comfortable enough for daily use.
During the sensory evaluation, 6 out of 7 participants who assessed the cream reported comfort, softness, and a non-sticky feel. One participant experienced stickiness and a sensation of “unclean” skin, highlighting that the experience of any skincare product can depend on individual skin characteristics, the amount applied, and personal texture preferences.
Hydration: the first step towards comfortable neck and décolletage skin
The neck and décolletage can look tired for reasons beyond wrinkles. Very often, one of the first visible signs is a lack of moisture: the skin appears duller, less elastic, and its surface no longer looks as smooth.
In the Forlle’d evaluation, skin hydration levels increased from 50.74 to 56.66 over one month. The greatest improvement in hydration was observed during the first two weeks. In the study, this was associated with the ability of the serum and cream to support skin hydration.
Again, it is important to emphasise that these figures reflect the combined serum-and-cream protocol. Nevertheless, they illustrate why hydration in neck and décolletage care should be consistent rather than occasional.
The cream plays an important role here: it helps complete the routine, provides a feeling of comfort, and helps the skin retain a hydrated feel for longer.
Elasticity: why does neck skin need extra attention?
Elasticity is one of the key indicators of skin quality in the neck and décolletage area. When the skin loses its feeling of elasticity, it may appear less firm and more lax, while fine lines and creases may form more easily.
In the Forlle’d instrumental evaluation, the elasticity indicator increased from 74.36 to 80.61 over one month. The study materials noted that the effect became more pronounced towards the end of the study and associated it with the action of the peptides Trifluoroacetyl Tripeptide-2 and Tripeptide-10 Citrulline.
This is important because hydration alone is often not enough when caring for the neck and décolletage. Mature skin that is losing elasticity benefits from a formula focused on long-term skin quality: hydration, comfort, smoothness, and support for elasticity.
Why should the cream be applied to more than just the neck?
A common mistake is to apply cream only to the front of the neck. In reality, the neck and décolletage area is much broader.
In the Forlle’d application protocol, the products were applied from the jawline down to the upper third of the décolletage.
This provides a useful practical guideline for daily application. The cream can be applied:
- from the jawline downwards;
- to the front and sides of the neck;
- to the area beneath the chin;
- to the upper décolletage;
- using gentle movements, without pulling or rubbing the skin aggressively.
The skin on the neck does not benefit from aggressive massage. Gentleness, precision, and consistency are what matter most.
How to use Forlle’d Neck and Décolleté Cream at home
Consistency is essential if the cream is to become an effective part of your skincare routine.
Morning
After cleansing, apply the cream to the neck and décolletage. If this area will be exposed during the day, remember to apply SPF.
Evening
After cleansing, apply the cream as a restorative, comfort-enhancing step. In the evening, you can take a little more time to gently massage it into the skin.
How much should you use?
In the study protocol, 1 g of cream was used per application. At home, the amount can be adjusted according to the size of the area and your skin’s needs, but it is important not to use too little. The neck and décolletage cover a much larger area than the eyes or lips, so they require an adequate amount of product.
How should it be applied?
Apply gently using slow movements. Avoid pulling the skin. The cream can be distributed with the palms, moving from the centre outwards and from the neck towards the décolletage.
When should you add a neck and décolletage cream to your routine?
Forlle’d Neck and Décolleté Cream is not only relevant once wrinkles have become very noticeable. On the contrary, professional skincare often begins earlier, when the goal is to maintain skin quality.
It may be worth adding the cream to your routine if you notice that:
- the skin on your neck feels drier than the skin on your face;
- the décolletage has lost some of its smoothness;
- fine lines or creases are becoming visible;
- the skin appears less elastic;
- sleep lines remain visible on the décolletage for longer;
- the skin on your neck reacts more sensitively to environmental factors;
- you take consistent care of your face, but tend to forget about your neck.
This is especially relevant for mature skin, sun-exposed skin, skin lacking comfort, and anyone who wants a more complete skincare routine extending from the face to the décolletage.
What does the before-and-after documentation show?
The Forlle’d evaluation materials include photographic documentation taken before use and after one month. The photographs were taken at the beginning of the study, on August 28, 2025, and at the end, on September 24, 2025.
These photographs complement the instrumental measurements, but they should also be interpreted responsibly: the visible results reflect the complete neck and décolletage routine, which included both the serum and the cream. As we currently carry the cream, the main purpose of this article is to explain why the cream itself can be a valuable step in a daily at-home skincare routine.
Why is it worth having a separate neck and décolletage cream?
Because this area often reveals what the face does not yet show.
We may use the best facial serum, take meticulous care of the eye area, and choose a high-quality face cream, but if the neck and décolletage are neglected, the overall appearance of the skin can become less harmonious.
Having a separate cream also helps establish a new habit: instead of treating this area only “if there is some product left,” it becomes a conscious part of the daily skincare routine.
It is not an unnecessary extra step.
It is targeted care for an area that deserves it.
Forlle’d Neck and Décolleté Cream: who is it for?
Forlle’d Neck and Décolleté Cream is designed for women who want to take a more professional approach to caring for their neck and décolletage at home.
It is particularly suitable for those looking for:
- greater skin comfort;
- a softer feel in the neck and décolletage area;
- daily hydration;
- support for skin elasticity;
- a rich yet non-greasy texture;
- professional Forlle’d skincare at home;
- a dedicated product for an area that is often overlooked.
The cream can become an important part of both morning and evening routines, particularly when the skin on the neck and décolletage already feels drier, less elastic, or simply in need of more attention.
A professional approach: not more products, but more targeted care
Neck and décolletage care does not have to be complicated. It does not require a ten-step routine. But it does require consistency.
Gentle cleansing.
A sufficient amount of cream.
Regular use.
Gentle massage.
SPF when the area is exposed during the day.
These are simple steps, but over time they can make a difference in how the skin looks and feels.
The conclusions of the Forlle’d evaluation state that the tested neck and décolletage care protocol resulted in increased hydration and elasticity indicators, and that the products were considered suitable for anti-ageing and restorative skincare protocols.
The direction is clear: the neck and décolletage are becoming an increasingly important part of professional skincare.
Summary
The neck and décolletage should not be an afterthought in facial skincare. This area deserves the same level of attention as the face — particularly when it comes to hydration, elasticity, comfort, and long-term skin quality.
Forlle’d Neck and Décolleté Cream was created specifically for this area. It has a rich yet non-greasy texture, spreads comfortably, absorbs well, and is suitable for daily use.
In the study materials, the cream was evaluated as part of a protocol together with the serum, so the results should be interpreted responsibly. Nevertheless, one thing is clear: consistent neck and décolletage care can be a meaningful part of a mature skincare routine.
Because facial skincare should not stop at the chin.
