My face gets all the fancy serums. Meanwhile, my neck and chest are out here looking like a crumpled map of 2012.
This isn’t about wrinkles — it’s about texture. That crepey, slack feeling that makes every V-neck a confession.
The Sulwhasoo Fermented Soybean Firming Neck Cream. It’s $120. I tried it because their fermentation game is unreal — it makes ingredients your skin actually listens to.
