Peptides for Skin Tightening Compared to Collagen

While collagen is excellent for skin hydration, reducing wrinkles, and providing structural support, some peptides and extracts can offer a more noticeable or immediate tightening sensation.

Based on product information, Marine Plankton (Lifting, Tightening) is known for providing an immediate tightening effect on the skin. This effect is temporary, but with continuous use, it can also help with longer-term lifting and wrinkle reduction.

Another peptide, Pep®-Neo (Acetyl Tetrapeptide-2), works to combat skin sagging and enhance firmness by improving the synthesis and assembly of structural proteins like collagen and elastin. This provides a tightening and lifting effect over time by strengthening the skin's structure.

In comparison, Collagen HP primarily focuses on ultra-miniature collagen combined with algae polysaccharide to enhance hydration and reduce wrinkles, rather than providing a strong immediate tightening feel.
