StriVectin

The firming specialist, built on NIA-114 and one famous neck cream

StriVectin started with a stretch mark cream, of all things, and grew into the firming specialist of premium beauty by refusing to behave like a generalist. The catalogue is organised around problems rather than rituals: a neck that looks less firm than the face above it, arms that look crepey in short sleeves, eyelids that have started to fold. Running through nearly every formula is NIA-114, the house's patented form of niacin, which the brand positions as a skin barrier strengthener that helps the other actives in each formula do their work. It is the closest thing the house has to a signature, printed on tube after tube like a quality mark.

The centre of gravity, though, is the neck. The TL Advanced Tightening Neck Cream PLUS is the product the brand is known by, the one its own collections are anchored to, and the reason the Tighten and Lift line exists at all. Around it sits a supporting cast this hub reads closely: a roller serum for the same territory, a body cream that takes the firming idea below the jawline, the SD Advanced Plus moisturizer that carries the original StriVectin story onto the face, and a pair of serums, Super-C by day and retinol by night, for skin whose concern is brightness and texture rather than firmness. What follows ranks the house against itself, with the appearance framing kept honest throughout: these are cosmetics, and the language here stays cosmetic.

No. 1

StriVectin TL Advanced Tightening Neck Cream PLUS 1.7 fl oz

Best Overall StriVectin Product

The number one neck cream the whole Tighten and Lift line hangs from

The brand's centre of gravity earns the top slot on specificity: Alpha-3 Peptide, spilanthol and brightening extracts in a rich cream made only for the neck and decollete, the territory StriVectin understands best. Owner opinion on the firming look is mixed, and this guide says so, but no other product here defines its house the way this jar does.

Anyone whose neck and decollete look less firm and more lined than their face, and who will use a dedicated neck cream twice a day

Skip if

You want one moisturizer for face and neck alike, or you expect a cream to change anything overnight

Format: Neck and decollete cream

The original StriVectin idea, grown into a face and body moisturizer

No. 3

StriVectin Super-C Retinol Brighten & Correct Vitamin C Serum 1 fl oz

Best StriVectin Brightening Serum

Vitamin C and retinol sharing one dropper bottle, morning and night

The step that changes morning skin fastest in appearance: two stabilized forms of vitamin C and acerola for brightness, retinol for texture, in one lightweight serum used morning and evening. It is the catalogue's answer when dullness, not firmness, is the complaint.

Suits

Dull, uneven looking skin that wants one serum step covering brightness and texture instead of two separate bottles

Skip if

Your skin is retinol intolerant, or you prefer to keep vitamin C and retinol in separate, adjustable steps

Size: 1 fl oz dropper bottle
