Tripeptide-R Neck Repair

Hoping for great results to stop my aging caused by lots of tanning when I was younger and inconsistent usage of sunscreen.

I am only in my early 30s, but my lack of a consistent skincare routine and years of excessive tanning when I was in my teens and early 20s has caused me to be self conscious of my chest and neck area. I feel my neck looks older than 31 with the banding, and I REALLY hope something non surgical will help me feel better because I'm years away from any surgeries on my face/neck. My chest area also shows signs of sun damage - redness, uneven skin tone, and formation of freckles.

I am hopeful that SkinCeuticals Tripepride-R Neck Repair will give me noticeable results. Doing a little research into the product, it seems to offer somewhat visible results after just a couple months. I've never used a retinol product before; so fingers crossed I'm not too sensitive!



I received this complimentary treatment through the RealSelf Ambassador program.

No updated pics because there is literally no change yet. I’m not discouraged though because I know this stuff takes time.
For the past week and a half I have used 2.5 pumps on my chest and neck every other day. The instructions say to do every other day for a week and move to everyday. However, I’ve been having a little irritation - I start to get itchy a couple hours after application. So I am going to give it a little longer with every other day. I’ve never used a retinol product before. So I was expecting a little bit of an adjustment period since it can cause a little bit of irritation.
Hoping to switch to every day by the end of the week.
One thing I have noticed so far is the moisture on my chest and neck is A+.

Unfortunately after continuing to use this product every other day, my skin was just very irritated. I can only attest this to the amount of retinol on this product as I have never used retinol before.
I have a mole on my décolletage area that was very very irritated after using this product to the point that I have made an appointment at a dermatologist to get this looked at and likely removed.
While I wanted to absolutely LOVE this product,
I am just unable to use it currently.
I will take some updated photos as well as what my irritation looked like and post in the next review.
