Downton Abbey,

In the time since you posted that message and now, your body has lost about half a million skin cells. Some of those are on your throat, or neck. They need to be exfoliated, just as the dead cells on your face and body do, to make your skin look its best and optimize the products you use.

A rough cloth may do the trick, as someone suggested, but if your skin tolerates the AHA or BHA exfoliants, you might try them. I always do the Paula's Choice BHA stuff over my throat as well as face, and not only do I not have problems, it's gotten rid of the little skin tags that were on my neck.

Apart from that, I'd think the product just isn't compatible with your skin, or it's reacting to the serum you're applying. I'd try applying it to freshly washed and exfoliated skin, with no other products, and see whether it still balls up.
Wouldn't the fact that she uses Perricone provide exoliation? I think her issues are with the formula of the neck cream. I've had similar problems with some products..
Did I miss something??? I see no mention of her using Perricone.

She has posted numerous times on this board that she uses Perricone. Since it is such an active product I thought that she replied the way that she did because she felt the Perricone was enough exfoliation.

If the balling up is happening within a few hours, it seems like it is more the product/s. If it happens at the end of the day, then it is part of the exfoliation (either dead skin or from residual cream that was sitting on top of the skin) you may be getting from some of those type ingredient/s in what you are using.

Does the Prai have any acid-type ingredients in it?

Thanks for clarifying this. I had a feeling that was the case. I have read some but not all of the OP's posts, and wasn't sure of her regimen. I'm not a Perricone user and wouldn't know what did what anyway.

Some great replies on this thread. Hope they help the OP.

Well thank you and all about the neck, I have never heard of anyone talking about exfolating the neck? By the way Perricone today and tomorrow I think have some things 50% off their website............also costco has cold plasma for $46 for one ounce was $59.

I read the post again about me not saying thank you well when I posted the thread I said THANK YOU............

I have used a ton of different neck creams, never had any ball up on me, but I do read on the HSN Forum, many say the one from Prai does ball up. It did not on me.

Well thank you for the neck exfoliate I will do that. Never ever thought of it and yes I use Perricone and I do use some prai and I do use Peter Thomas Roth and I use some one from Evine. I just purchased the book FOREVER YOUNG by Perricone it is supposed to be a fabulous book. Got it on sale.
