Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works
Lovi Assistant explains
- Offers moderate firming and plumping for your neck and décolleté, but the presence of rich emollients like shea butter and coconut oil may exacerbate oiliness on your oily skin, while lacking significant ingredients for seboregulation.
- While glycerin and sunflower extract provide general hydration and soothing benefits, they are largely irrelevant to your main goal of reducing oily shine.
People Say
★4.6Overall rating based on 1.2k+ reviewsBased on a very large amount of data, users consistently praise this cream for its luxurious, non-greasy texture that absorbs quickly, leaving the delicate neck and décolleté area feeling immediately smoother and more hydrated. While many report visible improvements in skin firmness and a reduction in "crepey" texture over time, a minority of users feel the high price point is not justified by the subtle results.

What the research says
A single application of a moisturizing fluid containing hyaluronic acid 1%, glycerin 5%, and Centella asiatica stem cells extract significantly increased skin hydration by 29% and reduced transepidermal water loss at 24 hours compared to baseline and an untreated control site in twenty healthy women.
Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017A combination cream of stimu-tex AS and saccharide isomerate reduced erythema, increased skin capacitance, and reduced transepidermal water loss compared to placebo in 20 subjects after fractional CO2 laser procedure without causing serious adverse events.
Lasers in Medical Science, 2025A skin barrier restoring cream with shea butter, silkflo, and vitamin E increased type I procollagen synthesis, enhanced antioxidant enzyme activity, decreased reactive oxygen species generation, and promoted hyaluronic acid production in H2O2-stimulated human keratinocyte cells compared to untreated cells.
