‘I tried £25 neck serum loved by Lisa Snowdon and it beat one 5 times the price'
After seeing this neck firming serum gain viral fame after TV presenter Lisa Snowdon advertised it, I decided to try it out – and, for the price, I was really impressed
A couple of months ago I wrote about a piece on sponsored content that This Morning presenter Lisa Snowdon had done with Australian beauty brand BOOST LAB, in which she described seeing "a smoother, more toned neck and dec" after using BOOST LAB's hero product, Edelweiss Neck Firming Serum, for two weeks.
Sales of this skincare formula promptly soared, I think largely due to its reasonable price: £24.99 for a 30ml bottle, less than a lot of other neck creams on the market.
Since then I've been keen to try it out myself, especially as I hadn't especially seen any results after finished a bottle of different very expensive neck cream. Here's what I found after using this BOOST LAB neck serum for three weeks...
As its name suggests, Edelweiss Neck Firming Serum is a fairly runny serum texture, rather than a cream, and it's really pleasant to use and sinks in quickly. On the BOOST LAB website, it says it 'lifts and smooths crepe-like, sagging skin, supports collagen production and targets wrinkles & ageing', with thousands of five-star shopper reviews and some fairly impressive before and after photos.
And for the results I saw? Look, you have to be realistic; a £25 topical product with no prescription-level active ingredients isn't going to lift sagging jowls, chisel you out a new jawline or erase deep necklace lines – for this you need, at the very least, professional aesthetic treatments, and maybe even surgery.
What I felt that this serum did do, however, is improve the quality of the skin on my neck – I'd felt that it was becoming quite dry, rough and crepey, and after three weeks of using Edelweiss Neck Firming Serum, it felt smoother, softer and stronger.
Of course, you may also get these results from simply remembering to take your face cream down onto your neck, but for me, having a specific neck product was the wake-up call I needed to pay more attention to this previously-neglected area below my chin – and I did notice a difference.
Before trying this, I'd actually been using a very high-end, dermatologist-approved neck cream, which costs around £170 – but I felt that the results were no better than with using the BOOST LAB serum.
Another highly rated neck cream is PRAI Ageless Throat & Décolletage Night Crème, £37, which is the bestselling neck cream at both Boots and M&S.
And another with impressive before and after results is Trinny London's The Elevator, £68, with 90% of testers reporting a visible improvement in jawline definition after 12 weeks.
