I am often asked, “Do I really need separate neck and eye creams or can I just use my face treatment in these areas too?
My answer: The eye area is thinner and drier than the rest of your face and shows signs of age, fatigue, and stress easily. It deserves a separate product that targets concerns like dark circles, puffiness, flakiness, saggy lids, and crepey skin.

The neck has fewer oil glands than the face and is often neglected. Consider it as an extension of your face day and night when it comes to applying treatment.
I think buying separate products forces you to pay attention to these areas. I used to honestly forget about my neck until my dermatologist suggested I get a neck cream and start using it! If you can be counted on to treat hairline to bra-line as a unit, good for you! Personally, I need the formal responsibility (and guilt) of buying a separate item.
