Has anyone had any luck slowing or even reversing sun damage on their chest (decolletage area, I guess)? I have the beginnings of those dreaded horizontal lines, due to too much sun in my youth. Sigh. (Youth is wasted on the young!)

Anyway, I'm curious if you've done anything or used any particular products that worked well for you. My skin looks great OTHER than those lines (and you have to be in a particular light/angle to see them, but *I* certainly see them!)

I've begun putting Retin A there. Have you tried that or retinol?

[Rochester Shopper]

I agree with BellaCarro. I also use my LightStim there.

YES -- The Body Shop Shea butter, it's the one and only thing that makes those little lines disappear.

I've been using Skinn's Bright Side Correcting Serum at night. I'm probably 2/3 to 3/4 of the way through the bottle, and noticed last week that two freckles on my eyebrow were almost gone. The skin on my neck and décolletage is still tanned, but it's lighter and has evened out instead of being spotty. I also like Aveeno's Positively Radiant Daily Moisturizer. They work slowly, but my skin is really sensitive and I don't have a problem with either one of these.

Edited to add: Sorry, I guess that didn't answer your question. It's been a long day.

I wash the area well, just like my face, and use all my face products on my chest and neck. I always use a high spf on my chest too. My skin looks on the chest and neck, no wrinkles, and no neck sagging ...yet. I do have a couple of dark spots on the chest though.

I put Avon Skin So Soft oil on it and it has really helped hydrate and soften the lines. I buy it in the spray bottle and spray it on after my shower and in the morning and then rub it in.

I also use Hourglass SPF Veil primer during the day. The primer is clear and softens the lines and the SPF helps stop more damage. It costs a lot, but I only have to use a little and it does make that area look a lot better when I go out (worth it to me).

I like the Bare Minerals neck cream used there---or argan oil. Be sure to use an SPF every day...maybe twice a day in summer.

one or two drops of Frankincense oil mixed in coconut oil. apply once or twice a day.

Alpha Hydrox Souffle makes a good neck cream. The alpha hydroxy acid promotes cell turnover and sloughs off the dead skin cells from the surface. It's inexpensive and it works.
