This is a lightweight balm that is more like a highly hydrating cream. One small drop is all I needed to easily spread on my neck. It absorbs quickly and smells fantastic too. I don't think I have been using it long enough to see a big difference in my fine lines or maybe it is too hard to take before and after pictures of my neck close-up, but my neck does feel somewhat smoother after I use it, so I will keep using it.
