Growing up, I was fascinated by my mom’s morning beauty ritual. I would watch her indulge in her fancy skincare products, spend hours perfecting her hair, and apply makeup to her already-perfect features. I would sneak into her room while she was at work and replicate her whole routine so that I could get a piece of her magic. She wasn’t very happy with me playing with her beauty products back then, but the tables have turned. I now find myself hiding my coveted creams from her, but I knew I couldn’t gatekeep Nivea’s new Skin Firming and Anti-Wrinkle Neck and Chest Cream.
Nivea’s newest neck and chest cream visibly reduces the appearance of wrinkles while improving the elasticity of skin within as little as two weeks. It’s formulated with coenzyme Q-10, creatine, and provitamin B5, which together have anti-sagging and anti-wrinkle properties and improve skin tone and texture. The cream provides 24 hours of nourishment and hydration to the neck, chest, and arms, leaving them feeling soft and smooth.

My mom can’t say enough good things about this neck and chest cream. She’s been using it twice daily, generously smoothing it onto her neck, chest, and arms, and says it’s a “thicker” formula but still “effortlessly sinks into the skin.” After just two weeks of use, she had a noticeable decrease in the “pesky wrinkles around [her] neck and jaw,” and “there hasn’t been any new addition in those areas” with her continued use of the cream for the last four weeks. She also added that the lotion is hydrating enough that she’ll be able to “wear it now through winter.”
Like my mom, I have been wearing the cream in the morning and reapplying again in the evening. I’ve also been applying it like a spot treatment, focusing on my hands and my forehead’s deep-set wrinkles. After three weeks of consistent use, I noticed that my hands were softer and less textured. It took more effort to scrunch my forehead, and when in its relaxed state, the lines were so faint you could hardly see them.
