Let’s get straight to the point: It’s time to stop neglecting your neck and chest when it comes to anti-aging skin care. The oft-forgotten area is just as important as your face when it comes to preserving youthful complexions — and, according to members in one of my (very) trustworthy savvy-shopping Facebook groups, you don’t have to drop hundreds of dollars.
After someone put a call out for the best neck creams for firming up saggy skin and wrinkles, dozens of women over the age of 50 responded with the Gold Bond Age Renew Neck & Chest Firming Cream. Even better? Amazon shoppers also love it and it’s super affordable at just $12 (down from $16!).

Packed with hyaluronic acid, this cream leaves skin with a youthful glow.

Why is this a good deal? 💰
I shop for a living (cool, right?), so I’m very aware that most neck creams can cost upwards of $50 like mega-popular Strivectin cream. Not only is the Gold Bond cream already wallet-friendly, it’s currently 25% off ($12) and you get a full 2 ounces of product. That costs less than a Chipotle bowl and has far more lasting benefits.
Why do I need this? 🤔
When it comes to skin care, the face gets all the love — but the skin on our necks and chest are thinner and can get even more exposure than the face. That’s why they need extra special care. Gold Bond’s firming neck and chest cream is a vitamin-packed option that can improve the skin’s firmness, texture and elasticity. How does it work? The results come from the formula that’s packed with hyaluronic acid, which is known to hold up to 1,000 times its weight in water to the skin. This leaves your complexion plump, bouncy and hydrated.
What reviewers say 💬
The cream has racked up more than 9,000 perfect five-star reviews, so it’s pretty safe to say that Amazon shoppers stand by the Facebook love.
Pros 👍
When you think of neck creams, you think of Strivectin, right? Well, a handful of Amazon shoppers say that they actually prefer the $12 Gold Bond to its much more expensive counterpart.
“I had been using Strivectin Neck & Chest Cream without seeing any improvements,” explained this five-star reviewer. “However, as soon as I began to use Gold Bond Neck & Chest Cream I could see a marked improvement in that area.”
“Was running low on my Strivectin and didn’t want to spend a bunch to replace it,” shared a second Gold Bond fan. “Frankly, I wasn’t sure it was really doing much for my turkey neck. So I ordered this (I had used it in the past and liked it, but always looking for something better) and immediately saw a difference in my neck skin. Moisturizes well and lines are reduced.”
“I have used very expensive neck cream to keep the crepe skin at bay,” a five-star reviewer wrote. “I tried this product, and it is better than much more expensive creams! It feels so luxurious when you apply it, and I feel like the moisture lasts all day. I use morning and evening and am 100% happy with the results. I don’t think I could find a better product!”
Shoppers also love the consistency of the cream. Another reviewer said it’s “not oily and absorbs quickly.”
This impressed customer shared: “Holy moly … I could see a drastic difference in just a week of using it every morning! Less fine lines and a smoother overall look of my neck and chest. I bet if I used it morning and night, it would really make a difference. This one is legit!”
“Beyond my expectations,” a final customer said. “I originally purchased this for my neck. … I’m young, but I thought I better get a head start on the aging factor. I ended up using it on my face, and the next day I could tell the difference in my skin and how much less red it was.”
Cons 👎
While shoppers generally marvel at the cream’s anti-aging results, a handful have a bone to pick with the smell — like the following 53-year-old customer. “I was shocked at how well this worked,” they explained in their four-star review. “I put it on every night before bed and it has almost completely gotten rid of my waddle under my chin. I took off one star because I don’t love the smell. Definitely needs a better scent.”
If you’re going to add this to your skin care routine, this five-star fan noted that “the product pills a bit if you layer it.” Anyone who’s experienced pilling knows how annoying it is, but they did find an easy solution: “I only use it in the evenings because I like to use moisturizer with sunscreen during the day.”
Another tip to combat pilling? Wait a few minutes for your products to fully absorb and dry before layering.
