I have tested a lot of skincare over the years, and I am not easily impressed. After five weeks of consistently using The Elevator by Trinny London, I can honestly say this has been one of the most impressive targeted treatments I’ve tried for the neck and chest area.
This is my full, in-depth review of The Elevator, including ingredients, technology, clinical data and my personal before & after results at almost 52.
I will be including a 5-week before and after image so you can see the visible progress.

The Elevator is described as a gravity-defying neck and décolleté concentrate designed to lift, firm, smooth and visibly even out the skin below the jawline.
The skin on the neck ages differently and often faster than the face. It’s thinner, has fewer oil glands and is constantly working against gravity.
The Elevator by Trinny London is designed to:
It’s also Trinny London’s bestseller, with one sold every 30 seconds.
The appearance of the skin on my neck has been bothering me for probably the last five years. It started with a bit more softness and looseness under the chin and I have kept noticing it more and more in photos and on camera.
I’ll be 52 this year, and while I feel completely comfortable in my skin, the neck is the one area that has genuinely made me feel my age more than any other part of my body.
Studies show that 80% of women believe their neck gives away their age. I understand that statistic completely.
Structurally, it makes sense:
For me, the biggest issue hasn’t actually been lines. It’s been elasticity. That “snap back” just hasn’t been what it once was.
Key to the The Elevator by Trinny London is its combination of cohesion technology, supercharged peptides and encapsulated alpha arbutin. The formula is built around structural support.
One of the most interesting elements of The Elevator by Trinny London is its innovative cohesion technology.
This works to strengthen the bond between the epidermis and dermis, essentially reinforcing the structural “glue” that holds skin layers together. As that connection weakens with age, sagging becomes more visible.
At nearly 52, this is exactly the kind of support my skin needs. Not a quick surface plump, but reinforcement.
By restoring cohesion between these layers, the skin appears more lifted and better supported against gravity.
Peptides are short chains of amino acids that act as messengers, signalling the skin to produce more collagen and elastin.
In The Elevator by Trinny London, the peptide blend works to:
As someone who has noticed that gradual softening over the past five years, this restructuring element is what really appealed to me.
Pigmentation on the neck and chest can be stubborn. Alpha arbutin slows melanin production, helping to prevent and visibly fade dark spots. The encapsulation technology used in The Elevator by Trinny London allows for deeper, more precise delivery.

The Elevator by Trinny London has a rich, balmy texture that feels nourishing but not heavy.
I apply it morning and evening, massaging upwards. It feels instantly smoothing, but the real difference comes with consistent use.

I have used The Elevator by Trinny London twice daily for five weeks.


After five weeks of twice-daily use, here’s what I noticed:
This has been the most impressive difference.
When I gently press the skin on my neck now, it bounces back faster. There is noticeably more resilience and springiness.
Over the last few years, I began noticing that lag in movement. After five weeks, that delay has reduced. The skin feels more responsive and supported.
The crepey quality has improved and fine lines look softer.
In an 8-week consumer study of 116 volunteers:
After five weeks, I completely understand those statistics.
The Elevator by Trinny London is recommended for anyone 35+ who wants to proactively care for their neck and chest.
If you’re noticing:
Or, like me, you’ve quietly been worrying about your neck for the last few years, this is worth considering. I kind of wish I had started using it before I really started to see the issues.
It is suitable for sensitive skin and is 100% silicone-free.
For me, yes. The most impressive change has been elasticity and bounce. At nearly 52, that renewed resilience makes my neck look healthier and feel stronger. It has delivered progressive, structural improvement over five weeks.
After feeling self-conscious about this area, that feels genuinely game-changing.
This is a product that actually works. After five weeks using The Elevator by Trinny London, my neck feels firmer, smoother and more elastic, and I really feel more confident about how it looks.
If you are looking for a product to address ageing concerns in your neck area, I couldn’t recommend this more.
