You know that neck cream you’ve been loyal to for years? The one that actually did something? Revision just dropped a new formula — and I’ve been slathering it on for three weeks to see if they broke it.
The old version was a peptide-heavy workhorse. The new one swaps in something called “Voluplus” — and that’s either genius or marketing fluff. I needed to know which.
It’s still $140 for 1.7 oz — no price hike, which is rare these days. The claim: visibly firmer, smoother decolletage in 12 weeks. Bold, but I’m not waiting three months to form an opinion.
Voluplus Complex
A plum-derived extract that supposedly mimics hyaluronic acid — plumps without the needle.
Argirelox NP
Peptide technology that targets expression lines — think Botox-lite, but topically.
Ceramide Blend
The old version had this too — good, because your neck loses lipids faster than your face.

Here’s the twist: the old formula relied on Matrixyl 3000, a proven collagen booster. The new one drops it entirely for the aforementioned Voluplus. That’s a gamble.
The texture is lighter, but the ingredient list is shorter — which usually means fewer actives, not more.
- Voluplus: Plumps skin instantly — but long-term collagen? Unproven.
- Argirelox NP: Softens fine lines in 2 weeks — actually noticed this.
- Ceramide NP: Repairs barrier — the reason your neck stops feeling tight.
- Hyaluronic Acid: Hydration that lasts 8 hours — not 24, despite the label.

First pump: it’s thinner than before. Absorbs in 20 seconds flat — no greasy residue on your collarbone, which is great for daytime. But it also means you’ll need more product to cover the same area.
Week 2: my neck felt smoother, but not firmer. The lines around my collarbone looked slightly softer — but I also started applying it to my chest, which the old formula didn’t encourage. That’s the real upgrade — it’s now safe for your décolletage.

Three weeks in: the crepey texture on my chest is visibly smoother — I’ll give it that. But the vertical neck bands? Unchanged. The old formula was better at that specific problem.
If you’re under 35, you’ll love this. If you’re fighting real sagging, you’ll be disappointed.

Revision didn’t break it — but they didn’t improve it either. This is a lateral move masked as innovation. If you have a half-empty bottle of the old stuff, hoard it. If you’re new, this is still a solid neck cream — just don’t expect miracles.
