tretinoin prescription strength is very strong and actually the neck skin believe it or not is much more sensitive than the skin of our face so if let's say you see a dermatologist and they prescribe you tretinoin for acne or for anti-aging and you're tolerating that on your face don't expect that you're going to tolerate it on your neck with the neck you're going to want to start less aggressive because it's not used to having all these creams on it like your face is

And so getting a retinol type of a moisturizer, using it on your face if you do, and then gradually putting it down to your neck and then your chest, even when you're in your 30s, when you're 40s, that's going to help to thicken the collagen because our collagen starts to degrade starting in our mid 20s. So adding retinol is going to help prevent that collagen degradation.

It's going to help to thicken the dermis or the deeper layer of skin. It's going to increase exfoliation of that skin. So that's a great option. If you want to be even more aggressive, then add a peptide-based cream to that as well. Peptides are found in so many skincare products.

If you go to your local drugstore, if you're on a real strict budget, then a lot of the budget-minded skincare brands, they're anti-aging products. creams have peptides in them because peptides can be relatively inexpensive to produce. Peptides are basically small chains of proteins that signal your cells to create collagen.

If let's say you're trying retinol and it's too aggressive on your skin, some people find that that can be kind of hard on the skin, can cause dryness and flaking, then go with a peptide. If you want to double up and use a peptide and a retinol, that's even better. And then the other thing that I would recommend as far as prevention would be red light therapy. There are red light masks.

I've got, I think, two of them at home. There are also handheld or stand up red light devices that you can put. Those are nice if you want to treat the neck and the chest because those are going to basically the red light. You want to usually do it. It's about a 15 to 20 minute treatment. Depending on the manufacturer, you want to consider doing it anywhere from four to six times a week.
