IRVINE, Calif., April 1, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Today,
Allergan Aesthetics, an AbbVie company (NYSE: ABBV), announces the
launch of SkinMedica® Neck Correct Cream, the
first product from the professional-grade skincare line formulated
to address the specific biology of the skin on the neck and
décolleté area. SkinMedica® Neck Correct Cream
was designed to prevent the early signs as well as treat the
visible appearance of moderate to severe neck aging. It is
clinically proven to firm and tighten the look of crepey skin,
prevent and reduce the look of sagging, smooth deep lines and
wrinkles and enhance skin tone evenness.1
"The neck and décolleté area are extensions of the face but
require a totally different treatment plan due to the unique
biology of the neck skin," says Colleen
McKenna, Vice President of Facial Aesthetics &
SkinMedica® Marketing, Allergan Aesthetics. "Neck
wrinkles are five times deeper than wrinkles on the cheeks, while
sagging of the neck skin is more severe than any other part of the
body. The skin of the neck is also thinner, similar to the skin on
eyelids.2 When designing the
SkinMedica® Neck Correct Cream, it was imperative
for our R&D team to address these concerns with a multi-modal
approach and develop a product with cutting edge ingredients, a
cosmetically elegant texture and clinically-proven
performance."
The SkinMedica® Neck Correct Cream will
launch with a digital-led campaign, #SmoothTheWay to showcase the
product's performance and honor those who have smoothed the way for
brighter futures for others. The team at
SkinMedica® and Allergan Aesthetics
acknowledges that it is a luxury to be able to use your voice for
good, to break barriers and stick your neck out to better
society.
With more than two decades of excellence in innovation,
SkinMedica® continues to rely on research to
formulate the most advanced and innovative skincare products that
deliver strong, efficacious results. The
SkinMedica® Neck Correct Cream has a luxurious
formula of power-house peptides, antioxidants and active botanical
extracts uniquely designed to target the biological pathways
specific to neck aging which include:1
- Dermal Thickness & Skin Elasticity- Rice Protein, Shitake
Mushroom Extract, Green Microalgae Extract, Lemon Balm Extract and
Peptides
-
- Support extracellular matrix proteins, including collagen and
elastin
- Platysma Muscle- Paracress Extract
-
- Helps reduce the appearance of platysmal bands
- Free Radical Damage- Knotgrass Extract & Dunaliella Salina
Extract
-
- Protects skin from free radicals
"The neck is an instant indicator of age, and the neck is having
a major moment due to the rise of patients experiencing neck
related concerns from increased use of technological devices," says
Dr. Mona Gohara, Dermatologist and
Associate Clinical Professor, Yale School of
Medicine. "Neck creams on the market have traditionally
relied on ingredients to support the dermal matrix, not
understanding that neck aging is a multifaceted issue. The
SkinMedica® Neck Correct Cream addresses the loss
of collagen and elastin, concerns of "tech neck" that contribute to
not only the visible, but the intrinsic signs of neck aging. Not
only will I be adding the SkinMedica® Neck
Correct Cream to my regimen, but this is a product I recommend for
patients spanning trans-generationally; from those in their 20s who
want to proactively prejuvenate the neck region, all the way up to
my patients in their 60s-80s who want to treat moderate to severe
signs of neck aging."
In clinical studies1, significant improvements
were found in the visible signs of neck aging, and
SkinMedica® Neck Correct Cream users reported the
following:
- At week 4, there were significant improvements in the
appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, crepiness and roughness.
- At week 8, there were significant improvements in the
appearance of laxity, sagging, skin tone evenness, radiance and
