MoisturizingAcetyl hexapeptide-8, Caprylic/capric triglyceride + 17 moreStrong evidence
“Infused with a host of powerful Botanicals and anti-wrinkle Hexapeptide, the hydrating formula expertly soothes and moisturises skin whilst promoting a more contoured jawline and smoothing the appearance of fine lines.”
This product can help improve hydration of the skin with the two types of ingredients.
The first type is called “humectants”:
these ingredients help attract water.
When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from
within deeper layers of the skin. The following ingredients in this product do the job:
glycerin, zinc pca.
This product also contains ingredients called “occlusives”. They help reduce the speed with which our skin loses moisture to the outside environment. These ingredients also help soften the upper layer of the skin, so it feels less tight and nicer to the touch. The following ingredients in this product do the job: caprylic/capric triglyceride, squalane.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: acetyl hexapeptide-8
Anti-agingAcetyl hexapeptide-8, Tetradecyl aminobutyroylvalylaminobutyric urea trifluoroacetate + 5 moreModerate evidence
“Treat your skin to the youth-enhancing properties of Chantecaille's Bio Lifting Neck Cream , an anti-ageing cream that works to firm and brighten the appearance of delicate skin on the neck and décolleté.”
This product contains acetyl hexapeptide-8, tetradecyl aminobutyroylvalylaminobutyric urea trifluoroacetate. These ingredients might be able to help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness, but there is not enough evidence that it actually works.
Evens skin toneNiacinamide, Ascorbic acidWeak evidence
“Formulated on a base of pure Rosewater, the cream's firming properties help skin regain a youthful appearance; Calcium, Amino Acids and Remodelling Tripeptides help improve density and fight dehydration; a Watercress Skin Lightening Complex promotes a brighter-looking, more uniform complexion*; and extract from Yellow Poppy Flowers help create the illusion of a more contoured jaw and elongated neck.”

Product summary
"Chantecaille - Bio Lift Neck Cream" is a well-rounded moisturizing product. This moisturizer uses a good combo of humectants and emollients. These both types of ingredients are essentials for improving the skin hydration and keeping the skin barrier healthy. Humectants in this product (acetyl hexapeptide-8, glycerin, zinc pca, caprylyl glycol and peg-8) help to increase the water content in the upper layer of the skin. (These ingredients do so by "capturing" water molecules from the outside air or from within the deeper layers of the skin). Caprylic/capric triglyceride, squalane, cetyl alcohol, coco-caprylate/caprate and caprylyl glycol in this product help decrease the water evoporation from the skin, so that it stays hydrated for longer. These ingredients also soften the skin and take away the feeling of tightness and dryness.
Ingredient callouts
- This product also contains vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid). It can be an effective active for anti-aging and evening out the skin tone, but in this moisturizer it is used for stabilizing other ingredients in the formulation. In this concentration (0.20% - 0.35%) it cannot have a noticeable benefit for the skin.
- This moistruizer also contains peptides (acetyl hexapeptide-8 0.15% - 0.30%). Peptides is a very big group of ingredients. They all consist of a different combination of amino-acids. Our skin produces peptides naturally. Some of them work as natural anti-biotics, promote wound-healing and production of collagen. The scientists are still studying how effective the topical application of peptides is, but it is very likely that peptides in skincare are helpful. They might be able to support skin barrier restoration and even have an anti-aging benefit. At the very least, they certainly help attract water to the skin and support the hydration in this way.
Irritation risk
This moisturizer contains a bunch of common irritants, including ingredients that do not provide any known benefit for the skin. It might not be the best choice if your skin is sensitive.
