Mode of Action

Short term effect: PEPHA®-TIGHT forms a thin film on the skin, exerting an instant perceptible tightening effect.

Long term effect: PEPHA®-TIGHT acts as a protective shield against oxidative stress, helps to stimulate the formation of collagen I, which is an essential part of the skin’s connective tissue, and provides a long-term firming benefit when applied regularly.
