I've been into skincare since I was about 16 years old when my friends and I would go to Shoppers Drug Mart and purchase Loreal's Eye Cream. Even though I thought I had been pretty diligent about my skincare over the years, I must not have paid enough attention to my neck area, which is really the area that needs the most care as the skin is thinner and will most likely show the signs of aging the most as we age. Once the signs of aging show in the neck, it can be very difficult to treat without medical intervention.
Now that I'm in my fifties, it seems like the signs of aging showed up on my neck overnight! This, on top of the fact that my oval face shape shows signs of aging in the form of sagging, has led me down the rabbit hole of trying every firming/ neck product that I came across, so I have tried many!
Out of all of the firming/ neck products I have tried, I finally found the one that works best for me. It's No7 laboratories Firming Booster Serum.
From No 7:
- Clinically proven to lift, tone & tighten skin in 1 week.
- Look up to 5 years younger in 12 weeks.*
- Formulated with a highly concentrated amount of Matrixyl 3000+, No7’s powerful anti-wrinkle peptide technology from our clinically proven serums.
- Formulated with 4x the firming complex in our other clinically proven serums.
- With Hibiscus Seed Extract to help restore collagen levels and Hyaluronic Acid to plump skin at the surface level and deep within.
*Based on a correlation of expert grading of firmness and/or lift to age.
No7 Laboratories Firming Booster Serum is our most concentrated firming serum and is formulated to be applied directly to the skin in areas that are most prone to loss of firmness, such as the neck and jawline.
The serum comes in a squeeze tube and has 5 small metal rollerballs around the opening where the product dispenses. You only need a peppercorn size of product for each area; one for each side of the mouth going up to the brow, and one for the neck and jaw area. I do use the roller balls to apply the serum to each side of my face but I normally just use my fingers to massage the product upward on my neck area.
After using this product along with all of my other skincare, I saw a noticeable difference after about a week. This is one of those products that really does what it claims and I am so happy! I barely even remember what my neck looked like before I started using this serum. I did stop using it to try out another neck/ firming cream and my neck went back to how it looked before I started this serum, so I was pretty happy to go back to No7 Booster Serum! The sagging has improved so much, my skin in firmer and the small little sagging ball of wrinkles that were forming in the center of my neck are all but gone! I was seriously considering surgery. Not to say I'll never have surgery, but for now, I'm good! There is also some firming around my jawline but the most noticeable difference is to my neck area.
This serum addressed what bothered me the most (the sagging ball of wrinkles in the center of my neck). I think the other issue that bothers me, like some excess fat in my neck area, would best be addressed with improvements to my diet and more exercise.
Keep twist top in "off" position when not in use.
The tube has a twist top that keeps the product fresh. Just twist to the ON position to dispense the serum. Then using the rollerball head, apply to each area of the face with upward motions. As per the directions, I apply from my jaw upward to my brow on each side of my face, and then apply to my neck. Follow up with any other skincare products you choose.

The serum is thin and blends into the skin beautifully. It leaves my skin feeling soft and hydrated without any greasy residue. I notice a very slight fragrance but nothing bothersome.
Because this is a booster serum, it can layered with many other skincare products. In fact, I've yet to find something that it cannot be layered with. I always start my skincare with this booster serum first and then apply my other products. It would probably work well with No7's other products as well. I actually discovered this Booster Serum when I was looking into repurchasing No7's Restore and Renew Face and Neck Serum. I had so many other products to finish up that I decided to give the Booster Serum a try as it sounded so good and could be used with my other serums that I needed to finish up.
I'm so glad that I decided to give No7 Booster Serum a chance. So many products don't live up to their claims but this serum really does! The price is very reasonable and the product lasts for a long time. I'm actually just starting my second tube and I don't think I'll ever stop using it!
Hopefully, my neck will never give away my age now!
