5. Top Customer Reviews

★★★★★Two words - BUY IT
Reviewer #1 · October 1, 2026 · Verified
I never write reviews. THIS STUFF WORKS. Some backstory, I am a 44 year old guy. I have some lines on my neck that go horizontally. I just hate the look of them. They are a little red and sometimes show up in pictures, although I know its more me noticing them than others. I applied very little from the stick on the first evening and woke up and thought to myself "do I ALREADY see a difference?". I did. It was subtle but I noticed it. I have now been using this for 5 days and the redness is gone completely and some of the lines are nearly GONE! This stuff is wild. I even started adding it to a ...
★★★★★I know it seems impossible, but this actually works on my neck. Buy it.
Reviewer #2 · October 22, 2026 · Verified
I’ve only been using this for a few days, maybe a week. It has made such a huge difference in my turkey neck. I didn’t really believe a lotion could do this, I thought I’d have to resort to surgery. And it’s only $29.99! ROC has a great reputation, so I gave it a shot. Someone told me my neck looked thinner. So go for it.
★★★★☆Not noticing a big change, dries out skin
Reviewer #3 · July 7, 2026 · Verified
Nothing spectacular so far but only using about three times a week. Definitely drives my skin out a bit on my face. Seems to have some firming action when I first use it after it dries. I have used it both at morning and at night at bedtime. Haven't really noticed any difference in the two. Hoping over time it will firm up a little bit more. Nice that there's little to no smell since I'm scent sensitive
★★★★★Only 6 weeks in and I'll let the pics speak for themselves!
Reviewer #4 · October 19, 2026 · Verified
Bought this on a whim hoping for ANY results. I didn't know where this crepey neck came from all of a sudden but once I noticed it I knew I needed to try to mitigate it from getting worse. I'm 45, and lost about 40 lb over the past year so I didn't have much hope because I figured it was from sagging skin that wasn't there before the weight loss and wasn't sure you could do anything about it outside of surgery. I'm also on a budget and didn't want to spend a lot of money for something that probably wouldn't even work, but I was very surprised by my results even after just 6 weeks. There is def ...
★★★★★RoC products, well, ROCK!
Reviewer #5 · July 28, 2026 · Verified
The first thing I loved was the stick format. It's so convenient—just twist it up and glide it directly over your skin. No mess, and I don't have to get product all over my hands. It feels like a silky balm going on, not greasy at all, and it absorbs quickly after I gently massage it in. Was a little nervous about using retinol because I've had irritation in the past with other products, but this formula is quite gentle for me. Pros: Easy, mess-free stick application. Smooth, moisturizing texture. Gentle enough for sensitive skin when introduced gradually. Noticeable changes within a few weeks ...
★★★☆☆Not working
Reviewer #6 · October 10, 2026 · Verified
Have used morn and night for about 3 weeks and zero changes
★★★★★Excellent!!
Reviewer #7 · October 4, 2026 · Verified
This stuff works. Pricey but lasts a long time and worth the penny.
★★★★★Actually works, but over time and not instantly.
Reviewer #8 · October 17, 2026 · Verified
Be patient. I have been using faithfully morning and evening and there is a noticeable decrease in my neck lines. Takes a few months, take a before picture! I wish I had. Still using the first tube too which is thrifty!
