How to use

  1. Patch test any new active on the inner forearm or behind the ear for 24-48 hours first. PM: Matrixyl serum on neck and chest, then the Olay cream. AM: Olay cream and SPF 30+.
  2. Add Naturium Multi-Peptide Moisturizer: Niacinamide is 8th on the list, with three signal peptides and ethyl ascorbic acid, in a squalane and jojoba cream; no concentrations are published.
  3. Add The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%: Only the niacinamide part, but that is the lead active by weight in Techno Neck.

Why it is close. A peptide serum rather than a cream, covering the peptide side of Techno Neck with far more peptide variety. Needs a moisturizer on top. Costs about $32 so it is the priciest of these.
