Question:

Can applying Vitamin C serum help treat turkey neck? I have loose skin around my neck with deep lines, but it’s not really wrinkly — just saggy. What products should I use?

Answer:

Does Vitamin C help turkey neck?

Vitamin C serum can help improve the look of the skin on your neck, especially if you’re dealing with brown spots, sun spots, uneven tone, or dull-looking skin.

But if by “turkey neck” you mean loose or sagging skin, Vitamin C serum won’t actually lift it. That’s where it helps to separate improving the look of the skin from tightening the neck itself.

My results using Vitamin C serum on my neck

I’ve used Vitamin C on my own neck for years, and the biggest difference I noticed was in the appearance of discoloration.

I had two noticeable brown spots on my neck that gradually faded, and the skin looked more even-toned and smoother. I would not say Vitamin C tightened my neck, though.

See my before-and-after pictures and the Vitamin C routine I used.

Can Vitamin C tighten loose neck skin?

If your main concern is sagging or loose skin rather than brown spots or uneven tone, Vitamin C alone probably isn’t going to give you the change you’re looking for.

That’s a different issue, and I cover the things that helped me with firmness and sagging on my turkey neck page.

How I use Vitamin C on my neck

I apply it to clean skin, then follow with moisturizer. During the day, I also use sunscreen on my neck because sun exposure can contribute to the discoloration I’m trying to prevent in the first place.

If you have sensitive skin, start slowly and see how your neck reacts, since neck skin can sometimes be more sensitive than facial skin.

Bottom line

Vitamin C can be a nice addition if your neck looks dull, uneven, or has brown spots, but I wouldn’t rely on it as a treatment for loose or sagging neck skin.

For me, Vitamin C helped improve the look of the skin itself, while other methods were more important for firmness.

Hope that helps!

Best,
