SkinCeuticals Tripeptide-R Neck Repair Cream to Improve the Discoloration and Aging of my Neck

Like most women my age (58) I fear the dreaded Turkey Neck. I had lipo under my chin and neck in my mid 40's and it left some lax skin.

I also have the typical freckling and spots that no sunscreen can totally prevent.

I have been using .05 Tretinoin Cream for almost 20 years on my face, but only started using it on my neck in the last 5 years. I cannot use it daily on my neck and decolletage because it can cause irritation and itching.

My hope is that this SkinCeutical Tripeptide-R Neck Repair Cream will give me some noticeable results with the discoloration and laxity of my neck without the irritation.

I received this complimentary treatment through the RealSelf Ambassador program.

I have been using SkinCeuticals Tripeptide-R Neck Repair Cream for a month now. I started out with the recommended dosage and when my neck started to feel itchy I backed off a little. I know that my neck can be sensitive when I use Retin-A, so I know when to adjust usage. Last week, I used it pretty regularly, but now my neck is red and super itchy as you'll see in the picture below.
I'm thinking that winter may not have been the best time to try a retinol product in the Northeast.
As soon as my neck calms down in a few days, I'll start applying again.

I went over the initial 8 weeks for the trial, because I had to take a full week off due to my neck being itchy & rashy after a month of use and I wanted to give this product a fair shake. That being said, I see no noticeable improvement since I've been using the product. I planning on using up what's left in the bottle when the weather warms up, but for during the winter months this product is not me. My neck is had big time sensitivity issue with it.
