SkinCeuticals, a leader in advanced skincare technology, this week launched their new daily-use corrective treatment, Tripeptide-R Neck Repair, scientifically demonstrated to smooth the appearance of horizontal neck lines, firm neck skin, and visibly reduce neck skin crepiness.
The virtual launch on 19 August saw the expert panel consisting of Dr Steven Liew, Leading Plastic Surgeon and SkinCeuticals Spokesperson, Dr Cody Hanish, Director, Chiropractor at Combined Clinics Australia and David Whyte, Education and Scientific Communications Manager for SkinCeuticals, discuss the growing concerns around ‘tech neck’ and how to eradicate its unwanted signs.
What is Tech Neck?
Tech neck is the appearance of lines to the neck and decolletage area resulting from continuously looking down at a computer or smartphone device. With the increase in remote working and the habit of staying connected 24-seven, Australians are constantly looking at screens in a downward position, making it more important than ever to step away, stretch and reset.
The panel shared tips and techniques to properly care for the delicate neck area, ahead of introducing guests to SkinCeutiacls’ revolutionary new product, Tripeptide-R Neck Repair.
Why use Tripeptide-R Neck Repair?
Neck skin ages differently than facial skin; it is thinner and more fragile, similar to the skin around eyes, making it a difficult area to treat. Additionally, this skin produces fewer lipids than facial skin, leading to a weaker skin barrier more prone to visible damage. Collagen levels decline as we age, combined with constant movement, this can lead to earlier signs of ageing like sagging, crepe-like skin, horizontal neck lines, and wrinkles on the neck that are up to five times deeper than on the face.
SkinCeuticals has designed a formula for the delicate neck area with retinol at a neck-specific concentration appropriate for daily use. Retinol is an anti-ageing gold standard backed by decades of science, proven to address multiple signs of skin ageing. Retinol is trusted due to significant scientific evidence that it promotes cell turnover to help improve uneven skin tone and the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Tripeptide-R Neck Repair is specifically formulated with an optimal dose of 0.2% pure, slow-release retinol, tripeptides, and glaucine to target early to advanced signs of visible neck ageing. These three key ingredients are combined within a hydrating delivery system to help ensure it delivers on visible neck ageing:
- 0.2% pure retinol within this formula is known to help to fortify neck skin to improve the appearance of lines and wrinkles
- 2.5% tripeptide concentrate helps to strengthen skin to build resilience and firm neck skin
- 5.0% glaucine supports skin’s resistance to visible neck ageing
Clinical Results
This unique neck formula makes it tolerable for daily use for most of the targeted users and delivers results on multiple signs of ageing with visible results in as early as four weeks. As a brand committed to scientific proof, SkinCeuticals conducted a 16-week independent study to demonstrate Tripeptide-R Neck Repair’s effectiveness on neck skin. It demonstrated statistically significant results on multiple signs of neck specific ageing* with visible results in as early as four weeks. Results included:
- 16% improvement in the appearance of horizontal neck lines
- 16% improvement in neck skin firmness
- 27% improvement in neck skin crepiness
- 16% improvement in neck skin elasticity
- 13% improvement in neck skin sagging
- Proven tolerable for daily use
As part of an at-home regimen, Tripeptide-R Neck Repair extends your skincare regimen to the neck area: use with an antioxidant, a moisturiser in the SkinCeuticals corrective portfolio and a broad spectrum UVA/UVB sunscreen to maximize corrective benefits.
