I know well that Decolleté is one of God's marvellous works of art and that it is translated into English as décolletage. But I'm wondering whether British ladies would prefer neckline in a cosmetics advert.
COLLAGEN - MOIST
Reichhaltige 24-Stunden-Creme für die feuchtigkeitsarme, leicht regenerationsbedürftige Haut.
Bio-Hyaluronsäure und marines Collagen bewahren und binden die Feuchtigkeit, können die Haut glätten und bilden einen unsichtbaren Schutzfilm.
Morgens und / oder abends als Grundlage unter die gewohnte Pflege oder auch als alleinige Feuchtigkeitspflege auf Gesicht, Hals und Decolleté auftragen.

cleavage
Not sure you can apply a cream to a neckline ...
Cleavage is certainly more common than decolleté ... although I understand the French, I'm not sure it's one that the average Brit would!

Peer comment(s):
| agree |
jerrie
: As another British lady, I would agree...we just wouldn't have decollete on our packaging, although I haven't seen cleavage either. It's usually just face and neck!

throat and neck cream
Found some advertisements with decolletage cream and have seen products with such names (American, though).
Got far and away the most hits on google though with just plain old neck cream, or throat and neck cream, often preceded by the promise "firming" or "extra-firming"!
HTH!
