Dr. Brand’s V-Zone Neck Cream ($60; drbrandtskincare.com)

I don’t feel bad about my neck. My chest, though, is another story. 
I’m  vigilant about using sunblock every single day – on my face.  My 
chest – not so much.  Worse still, when I was younger, I loved 
getting a deep body tan. The result: the skin on my ‘decollete’ is 
now red, mottled and well, kinda bumpy. (Very attractive, I know.)

Still, I was more than a little skeptical about a cream designed just 
for these square inches of skin. I’m sure any day now they are going 
to come up with a lotion you absolutely must have for your little 
toe. (And I will scoff and roll my eyes, right up until the moment 
when I look down at my little toe and wonder if it couldn’t be a 
little less wrinkly.)

The thing is, Dr. Brandt’s V-zone Neck Cream works. It instantly 
makes my skin far smoother and softer than the regular one-size-fits-
all body lotion I’ve been using.  Formulated with glycolic acid to 
exfoliate, vitamin C and shea butter, it improves the texture, look 
and feel on contact.  I’m not saying it can reverse years of self-
inflicted damage, or lift what needs lifting.  But even the skeptic 
in me is convinced that it’s worth the price.
