ADVICE

Instant Tightening Creams Use

  • Use instant tightening creams for temporary skin tightening, mainly around the eyes.
  • These creams shrink skin as they dry, but results last only a few hours and may affect makeup application.
ADVICE

Long-Term Topical Skin Care

  • Use retinol and peptide creams long-term to slow skin loosening and promote collagen.
  • Retinol is most effective, but peptides and bakuchiol can supplement anti-aging skin care.
ADVICE

Red Light Therapy Benefits

  • Use at-home red light therapy to subtly improve skin collagen and texture.
  • Keep expectations low as it offers mild tightening, best for long-term safe use.
