| I think the most efficient way is medical cosmetology, maybe some cosmetic products also can work somehow, but I expect them playing the role of maintaining the skin status. |

I think a lot of it depends on the degree of crepiness and also what your expectations would be.
But even if extreme you could expect some kind of improvement by using certain products and devices. And even if you elected to do some kind of cosmetic procedure you would want to maintain as much as possible.
The skin on the neck, particularity, is very thin so it responds much slower and has to be treated a little more delicately. If you're very sensitive it is a little harder to treat.
It does respond to things like retinol and Vit C which can increase cell turnover, stimulate collagen and eventually improve the texture and discoloration and thicken the skin.
I had used a combination of N-acetyl glucosamine and niacinamide for some hyperpigmentation and then I read about a study where N-acetyl glucosamine had improved the appearance of neck crepiness. So I started putting it there too. I didn't have a crepey discolored neck as much as the threat of it but it has helped the appearance of my neck in general.
I also use that on the discoloration on my forearms.
Mild laxity can be treated with things like face exercises and microcurrent. If you haven't used either before you will definitely see a difference.
You might also consider dermarolling. It's not something you have to do daily..or even weekly. But for the long term it's very helpful in improving the appearance and texture of the skin.
It might be helpful on the forearms too.
Light peels could be helpful also concerning texture and discoloration..
And if the skin on your forearms is also lose or flabby you might want to consider light weights
It sounds like a lot but there's really no one thing that works alone outside of cosmetic work. It's a combination of things..and there's a lot of information on all of these things on this site.
And even cosmetic work needs maintenance. |

Yes!
Mine got so creepy and dry that I didn't know what to do! I used ReVive neck cream and it works, but it was very cosmetic, but it worked.
I started to use retinol on mine, but my skin got more dry and I found out from the company that I use their brand that the retinol is too strong, so I use a buffer (moisturizer with some retinol) first, then used a tad of my regular retinol and then I use my AHA and vitamin C during the day and rotate that with regular moisturizer.
My skin has become more healthy and I managed to build up my delicate skin. |

| Apply a thin layer of skin cream or olive oil on your neck after using the cream in the morning and evening. Massage gently with your finger pulp from bottom to top. It can prevent skin dryness, promote blood circulation, improve skin metabolism and help prevent neck wrinkles. It is better to massage the part of the clavicle to the chest and massage the face and scalp. |

| I have found that looking down at my phone a lot was causing neck rings! Bummer. I have always used Retin-A 0.05% cream on my neck about once a week, C serum and sunscreen daily, plus a thicker cream than what I would use on my face all over my neck and had good results. But I still was seeing a bit of crepiness right at the bottom of my neck on my left side. I have added a concentrated 10% niacinamide serum to my routine and that area has responded nicely. No more crepe-y look. Can't say enough about niacinamide. Just wow. |
