About your concern
Understanding crepey skin
Crepey skin looks thin and finely wrinkled, sometimes with a texture similar to crêpe paper. It can appear around the eyes, on the neck and chest, or on other areas where the skin has become less supple.
Changes in collagen, elastin and hydration can contribute, along with sun exposure and the natural ageing process. Dryness may make the texture more noticeable.
Crepey texture is different from heavier folds or significant skin laxity, although they can occur together. Both the surface texture and degree of looseness help guide treatment choices.

Your questions
Crepey skin FAQs
Is crepey skin the same as dry skin?
No. Dryness can make the texture more noticeable, but crepey skin can also involve changes in the skin’s supporting structure. Moisturiser may improve comfort without fully addressing the appearance.
Why does crepey skin appear on the neck?
The neck can develop fine creases as its skin changes with age and sun exposure. Movement and the area’s natural structure can also make lines more visible. See our ageing neck page for the options we offer.
Can younger people have crepey-looking skin?
Yes. Skin quality varies, and dehydration, sun exposure and individual characteristics can make fine texture visible before more established signs of ageing appear.
Can crepey skin become completely smooth again?
Improvements may be possible, but the extent depends on the area and underlying changes. Skin-quality treatments aim for a softer, more supple appearance rather than promising to remove every crease.
