Why is this a good deal? ??

In-office collagen treatments can cost hundreds. Comparatively speaking, a whole jar of collagen cream for under $25 is a steal for your at-home routine.

Why do I need this? ??

While no cream will give you an actual face lift, with consistent use, this fast-acting face cream has the goods to seriously improve the texture of your neck, reduce the appearance of fine lines and make the area less crepey-looking overall. It's packed with retinol, collagen and hyaluronic acid, which work together to hydrate, smooth and firm skin. It's also infused with antioxidant-rich avocado and jojoba oils, which help soothe and protect skin.

The paraben-free moisturizer is noncomedogenic, so it won't clog pores and can be used both morning and night. Even better, it comes in a jar with a built-in pump to keep the cream clean and germ-free. While it's technically a face cream, many shoppers also love using it on the neck and décolleté.

What reviewers say ??

Shoppers of all ages and skin types rave about how well Simply Vital Anti-Aging Recovery Cream works — over 8,000 Amazon reviewers have awarded the product a five-star rating.

Pros ??

One user wrote, "I use this for fine lines, crow's feet and dry, dull skin. Both of my daughters use this product. I am going to be 73 and my skin looks great. Love this product."

"Have been looking for a moisturizer and rejuvenating cream for my 60-something skin. I love this because it is nongreasy and I can already see a difference in how my skin looks and feels. The design of the container is great as well. You can get just the right amount in just a light press of the top," wrote another.

A third shopper said: "This was just another face cream to try on my dry and sensitive older skin. After a few weeks, I now have the best skin I've had in decades."

"My 60+ skin loves this cream," raved a final fan. "I've seen fewer lines, evened skin tone and soft firm skin. I would highly recommend this cream. It's a keeper."

Cons ??

Some reviewers had complaints about the amount of cream included and the packaging itself. "The product is good. I especially liked the texture. It moisturizes well. ... However, there is a minuscule quantity of product in this jar. The complex design of the dispenser hides the fact that the entire jar would fit in a container one-third to one-fourth its size," critiqued a customer.

Another added, "The pump stopped pumping up the cream; the [bottle is still clearly full] so that's not the issue. Disappointed in this feature of the bottle."
